PERCY POV

Asthea looked a bit guilty saying that part. I continued to look at her "Umm so you got me killed only to revive me again? " I was more confused then angry. As far as I can remember the stinger of that weird monster had stabbed my heart. I turned to look at Lily but discovered that she had disappeared.

"Well you see as I told , you needed to break the limit and it would have taken too long for you to do it on your own. When someone dies the control of the world loosens on him for some time before his soul goes to the afterlife. We simply took your soul and created a new body for you free of control." Asthea

I nodded slowly as I was trying to understand this concept about limits and world. It was like the time when I discovered I was a Half blood and Gods exist. Everything was new to me. But there was a question bothering me from the start "Wasn't it a monster which killed me? Why do you say that it was Lily? ".

"Lily has the power to create monsters from her mind. She can create any kind of monster as long as she can imagine it. As for the dramatic scene in which Lily was getting attacked by one of her creation, it was simply a test to see If you were chosen"Asthea said while still looking guilty.

I slumped on my chair a bit. All this was too much to take in one day. Asthea looked at me for some time before saying" I am sorry we did not ask for your permission. Its only us two here and we were so excited to welcome you we forgot about your feelings".

"You do not need to apologise. I can understand the feeling of being alone" I smiled sadly as I thought nobody needed me at camp anymore. Asthea looked at me and hugged me in a motherly way" You will never be alone after this Percy. I guarantee you." It was a warm atmosphere and I had finally accepted this place as my new home.

"So what do you mean by me being a chosen ?" I asked the dreaded question. Not another prophecy crap. I had enough of those.

Asthea's expression grew serious. "Percy how much do you know about Fate ? "

My expression turned a bit sour as I replied" Well I honestly do not know much about them apart from the fact that they are three old ladies knitting with some strings ". And play with my life I thought bitterly.

Asthea sighed as she replied "Those three old ladies are just a small part of the being which is called Fate. Your so called Gods, Giants, Titans are just like babies in front of it. Even us advanced beings have to bow down before him "

"Is Fate a person ?" I asked curiously

"You can call it a person, animal,alien or energy because Fate exist in everything. Three years back we all felt a shift of change in Fate as its energy was gathered near your planet. It seemed like its attention had been drawn to an event in that planet. Something which can draw Fate attention naturally made me and Lily very curious. When we investigated, we saw its energy gathered around a boy. That boy was at the time making a request with a minor god" She stopped after this and looked at me.

"I suppose I should be flattered" I remarked trying to ease the atmosphere. To be honest I was freaking out here. How can a mere teen from a planet draw such a being's attention?

Asthea smiled a bit" Now you should understand Percy. What you had done was incredible. Your selfless act had drawn its attention. Fate chose you when you managed surviving the ordeal. You should understand this Percy. You are the first one to become an advanced being through your own actions. We just gave you the push by killing you"

"What has it chosen me for?" I finally asked the important question.

"Finally asking the right question. Counting you there are 10 advanced beings in the entire universe. Fate intended for us to be made into his hand and feet. It wanted us to be of help to the worlds. But things did not go as planned. Out of 10, four of them just laze around doing nothing. But the real problem is those three" Asthea eyes darkened as a frightful aura originated from her before vanishing in an instant.

Well it reminds me just how powerful these advanced beings are. Asthea continued" Those three did opposite of what fate intended them to do. In greed for more power they destroyed their own world and absorbed the life force of its inhabitants and the planet itself. But it was not enough for them. They continued to destroy different planets in order to gain more power. In the end it just corrupted them and now they are just monsters who devour worlds whenever they want. "

Great. First it was Kronos, then Gaia and now it is some three retards in want of power. Asthea eyes saddened as she continued "Those three came to my world. I was just an ordinary god of life at that time living with my mortal husband Andrews and Lily. We tried to fight them but we were no match. They destroyed everyone including my husband. I and Lily refused to die and swore revenge. Being a goddess of life I was able to live with Lily on my powers but soon they had also started fading along with the planet. At last those three left the planet and went away. As a last resort I had formed a cocoon of life encasing me and Lily. After thousand years the cocoon broke but we had become advanced beings"

I was shocked. To think there were some people cruel enough to destroy billions of people just to feed their need for power. "I have been trying to find those three for revenge since then, but I know I am no match for them. But with you I can complete my revenge. "

"Why me? Why cant Fate choose you or Lily? " I asked. Why is it that every time I get the burden of saving the world and this time not one but millions of worlds? I was pissed at Fate.

"You are different from us Percy. Everyone of us have become advanced beings for selfish reasons. I and Lily for revenge, while others are just pure lazy or cowards to help the worlds. Everyone of us wants power for their own agendas. You on the other hand do not want power for yourself but to help protect others. Maybe Fate gives you these burdens because it knows you can handle them."

I could not say anything. Handle burdens? I had almost killed someone because I could not control my nightmares. How can a monster like me whose own friends were scared of be chosen? I just sighed. No use asking these questions.

"Where is Lily gone? I have not seen her for some time." I asked looking around the garden. Asthea just sighed while replying " I think she is afraid. She thinks you will hate her now that you know that she was the one who made that monster."

"Has this happened before ?"Percy asked

"After the destruction of Jascalon(A/N- Name of the planet) we tried living in other worlds before we made this place. It always happened. After some time people just became afraid of us and especially of Lily. Lets just say her powers were not exactly people friendly. So we soon gave up and started living out here. "

My eyes widened. An image of a lonely little girl whose home planet has been destroyed came to my mind. For some reason I can imagine her pain. "Where is she?" I asked.

Asthea smiled and waved her hand. A door appeared out of nowhere in the garden. "Hurry up and marry her. I want to see my grandchildren soon" Asthea cheerfully said getting her usual self back.

I almost stumbled on my way. I almost missed the serious Asthea I thought as I went through the door.

LILY POV

He hates me now. I am sure of it. I will be alone again. Maybe I should have apologised to him, but I cant face him. He is such a mysterious person. Who can not hate a person when they leave you when you need them the most? Instead he wishes them to be happy. I had investigated him and found out that his fault was Loyalty. But I did not know that it was this deep.

He was the first person I had seen whose eyes held so much pain. The loss of my world had not hit me as hard as the loss of my father. When we had tried to live in other worlds, things did not go well. People were afraid of my powers which I did not ask for. All the children my age called me a monster.I could still remember that day when I tried to help a kid stuck on the tree. I had created a tentacle monster to help him. I tried to make him as cute as possible but the people freaked. Even the kid who I helped called me a freak. That day I decided these people were not worth my time. I will only concentrate on my revenge.

Then I see this anomaly. I cannot understand him and it makes me restless. While I was in deep thoughts I felt the pathway opened to my room. I could sense him coming.

I immediately grab the nearest book and pretend to read. I have to admit I have never felt this nervous. Just why am I acting like this? I had already decided that I will stop caring about what people think of me, then why do I care so much about him?

"Hey!" I hear Percy's voice behind me.

"Hello" I said while keeping my eyes fixed to the book.

"Umm So do the people from your world usually read the book upside down."Percy said while giving a lopsided grin.

"Huh !" blood rushed to my face.I became embarrassed and all I could say was "Yes we read it like that. " Suddenly I thought of something to get back at him.

"So are you insulting the people of my world just because they read books in strange ways ? "I asked strictly

It was his turn to turn red "N-No I did not mean it like ...". He suddenly stopped and looked at me suspiciously. Dam! He was getting good.

"So you have the power to create monsters. Well that is a cool power."Percy said looking at me.

"You are lying" I said not believing it.

"You know I have a friend named Nico. He can raise a undead army from underground. I wish I have a power like that"Percy said while he looked at my eyes. He continued" The point is Lily I do not think powers are evil or good. Its the people who use them. And I can tell you are a good person. I do not hate you for killing me as you did it to help me. So umm ...don't be sad"

If I was not lost in those sea green eyes and shocked by what he said, I would have probably laughed. He sucked at consoling. Not that I complained. It made him all the more cuter.

I smiled at him as I said "Lets see you running that mouth of yours when I am done with your training".

"Training? What training?" Percy asked.
