Take a guess who could possibly be sitting in the throne. Maybe you thought some insanely powerful god, nope.
I look back at the group and we say the same thing.
"What the Di Angelo," we all yell unison
Sitting on an almighty throne in front of us was none other than Nico Di Angelo.
"Here let me explain this," The man sitting in front of us said
"Your Nico in your world is simply an extension of me. He is fully human and as normal as a demigod can be but in the end he is me. Now you might ask who am I? I am death. Not just the death of living creatures but of everything. The death of an idea, of a plant, of my patience." The man says looking at Nico most of the time
"I don't get it," I say just flat out confused
"If you were to die on Mars where would you go." The mans says cooly
"Thanatos would…" I start saying but then realize what he means
"If the gods barely have control whole earth how does death in other places happen?" Annabeth asks understanding him
"As I was saying I am death. I also represent the beginning of all. What starts without something ending?" The man says trying to see if we could come up with something
Everyone just looked at him trying to figure something out but no one prevailed.
"How does Hades work than," I ask him
"The gods are completely unaware of us and we make sure to cover our tracks very well," He tells me simply
"So what happens now?" Calypso asks after being silent for a while
"You all have died except Nico and I will get to that. You all have pure hearts and can try to become the ruler of other elements or become helpers of the other. You see there is more than just death there is life, intelligence, evil, greed. All of these are necessary for anything so we have made a council of sorts. We all work together to control life. While we have unlimited power being the deity of our domain we can't interfere in any affair in our states. Unlike the ancient laws we can go down to the planets but when we all make a planet like earth the manager of fate decides everything. So you can try to become one of the managers of a domain." The man lectures to us
"I don't get it," I say confused
"You mean like gods who can't die and have no end or beginning," Annabeth says trying to figure it out
"What about me," Nico says
"Nico you didn't die you have one final quest on earth before you merge with me. Second let me explain a story. When the universe started there was the domain of life and death. Originally life was square blobs who moved at a turtles speed. Over time these blobs progressed and became a manager of a domain. You see a domain has no brain or mind it simply knows it's job. The manager works with others to use the powers of domains to create goodness. The domain chooses the best candidate for its manager and its helpers. Over time evolution kept happening and we got earth. Earth had a mix of almost all the domains so it had the worst and the best of people. You are some of the best of people and were chosen by your best friend to try to get a job here." Nico lectures on again
We all just stood there shocked at this. Annabeth was the first to recover.
"So you are Nico," Annabeth says in awe of all the power he radiates from him
"Yes," He answered calmly
"You said there was a manager of evil, why?" Calypso asks
"Evil is not as bad as you guys make it out. If the whole world was perfect and had no problems people would eventually turn evil no because they have a reason just because no living being has ever liked routine." He answers
"What happens if we don't get into the domain helper or manager status?" I ask
"You will be sent down to me to die and enjoy the perfect elysium," He replies
"Now Nico follow me," He says disappearing
Nico Pov
I get sent near a creek and the man in front of me simply says
"Go to the hunters they will be right in front of you. From their the rest will fall into place." He simply states before vanishing
I walk directly in front of me hoping that the hunters don't kill me. Soon I see some gold dust that was blown away. I rush ahead to find the hunters in war with hundreds of monsters. I hurry to Thalia who looked surprised to see me.
"What are you doing here?" Thalia asks "The quest isn't coming to help until tonight,"
"Can't say now," I yell over the sounds of the monsters
"What is that boy doing here," Artemis says spitting boy like an insult
"I was sent here to help," I yell even louder
Without any warning a greek fire bomb blows up over our heads.
"As you can see there is no winning this we must retreat," Artemis says glaring at me
"We have to fight or the monsters will have prevailed," I yell back
"What do we suppose we do?" she asks harshly
"Give me your bow," I ask
"What, no" Artemis replies
"I have a plan but I will need your bow," I say in the position of power here
She gives me her bow harshly after seeing some of her hunters fall. An unknown force pulls my hand towards the sword in my tattered armor. I put two and two together and suddenly they merge. The wooden bow now turned black the color of stygian iron. Artemis's eyes were wide but I just tell her
"I will distract them you girls attack," I say using careful wording
"That is too risky I'll do it I have more experience," Thalia offers
"No, I must" I tell her
"I am older," she says trying anything to get the bow and save my life
"Not today, today I am the oldest by a couple millennia," I say with a smirk and start charging
The other hunters were hiding behind trees and rock shooting from cover. I just shoot as fast as I can into any group of the enemies. Slowly they start to fall giving the hunters the chance to regroup. Thalia yells at me to get back but I see a cyclopes in the middle. It wasn't just any cyclops it was the mother of all cyclopes and could probably crush all the hunter. I start shooting at it and gained its attention. When we were at a stalemate it lurched towards the hunters hoping to catch them off guard. I see Thalia was about to get crushed so I push her out of the way and throw the bow in a random direction.
"No Nico," she yells but I start to see the spots in my eyes
"I will see you again," I say after "dying" a second time
I feel my soul reach the world again where I speak with myself or the me with power.
"The merge will let you keep your memories and remind you of all the times before your life on earth," He says
"What do I have to do," I state calmly but am scared on the inside
Suddenly I feel no feeling in myself as my soul gets pulled out of my body and into his. I blink a few times and see my former body on the floor. I felt no different than before when suddenly I black out.
I saw everything. I look around to see my past and so much information that I start to feel dizzy. Nothing had order I felt the gravity change levels every second and the colors and numbers flashing in and out.
"Where am I?" I ask dazed
"Within the mind of your own," I hear after I see a me but wearing a white clothing
"We represent all of the other you's from other worlds," says a green me holding a club
"So why am I here," I ask confused
"We gather all our knowledge and wisdom because none of us are perfect. We also help rule. You being the best of us will hold the control but we help you in every step." I see a man wearing blue explain
"Basically you won't let me fail." I ask them bluntly
"Pretty much," says the man holding the club
"The merge is now complete and we will help you on the way," The white dressed me says
I feel like i just dived into water as reality hits me with full force. I notice my heightened senses when I smell the lovely steak and fries from the kitchen. I rush over there to see Percy and Calypso eating.
"Where's Annabeth," I ask noticing she wasn't here
"Taking the test to see how well you could manage the domain. Even though the domains never make a mistake in choosing a person the leaders want proof so they have tests to convince everyone that they are good leaders." Percy explains
I suddenly understood everything he was talking about as I felt unknown memories coming to me.
"So did you guys go yet?" I ask starting to get a immortal headache
"No we go after dinner," Calypso tells me
In the distance I hear the sound of a cannon boom and Percy gets up.
"Time for me to go," He explains then starts running
"Me too," Calypso exclaims while running
Percy Pov
I run quickly through the original city we entered in using my side stepping skills to avoid all the people. I run up to the bridge that had the marks of the ocean on it with hundreds of symbols from other planets.
"You're late," The man states
"Had to have dinner," I told him
"My name is Blake in Earth letters and we must start the tests," Blake explains to me
Suddenly I find myself in front of a mountain. I look around and notice shattered houses and swords everywhere. Behind me was an army of hundreds of men with wings.
"They are here as a last stand against oppression. You must lead them to victory. Their enemy is the same as your world." He says right before he disappears
I turn around and see an army of hundreds of cyclopes and hellhounds.
"Sir what are your orders," one of the soldiers ask
"First of don't call me sir. Next we need a group of you who can shoot shoot the monsters while group of swordsmen flank them from both sides." I tell them
Immediately they start following my instructions and the enemy numbers start declining. I grab for riptide and start charging at the monsters. I kept slashing and hacking at them like a madman with an axe the monsters started backing off of me. Within minutes most the monsters either retreated or were dead.
"Good job men," I say ask I feel my body turn into mist
"Not bad," Blake tells me "Now for the next test this will test your will,"
Out of nowhere I feel myself at a room. It had everything I ever wanted. I saw a room where I was casually living a peaceful life with a ton of friends .I saw a button that allowed me to get all of this but it had a warning. It said that if I pushed the button then I would not get to ever see my friends now. All my heart wanted to do was to hit that button but I stopped my fingers from doing it.
"No," I tell myself while I feel myself disappear
"Good job most people hit that button ending their lives with anyone they know." Blake says teleporting me
"These tests are easier than I thought." I stated
"When you control the water you must always be calm that is the battle you must control your actions thus the second test the last one is to have control on the water itself." Blaske tells me
"What do I have to do?" I ask him
"Everyone here knows you can manipulate all forms of water but water vapor or mist. If you learn to control that then you will become leader." Blake says as if it easy
I get sent down to a place where I am standing in a cloud and everything was white.
"Clear this place only using your powers and the tests will be over." Blake says while disappearing in mist
I concentrate on my powers and breathe in and out slowly. When trying to control water vapor it can't have too much power flowing or the water will evaporate and too little means that it will also evaporate. I use my powers allowing them to get used to the situation and start turning the vapor into water.
"Good job. You are the first person to be able to the tests in millenia. Most creations don't have the blessing's that humans get but so many of your species talent are wasted that you and your friends are the first to be domain leaders." Blake says while teleporting us again.
"Time for your training," He tells me
Calypso Pov
I rush of to the gate of calmness which had strange symbols all over it. I see a nice looking woman who filled me up with calmness.
"To be the domain controller of the hearth it means to be calm and to calm the people of the world. It also means being a calming presence to be in which is why fire is our symbol." She explains to me
"Ok but isn't fire dangerous" I ask her
"It can be used to heal and soothes people. Only in wrong amounts it causes damage" She explains to me
"Unlike my friends I only have one test," She tells me
Suddenly I get set on fire and feel myself reappear in a dark room where everyone seems to be gloomy.
"Make this room happy by only using your powers" she says disappearing
I look around and notice a mattress. I think of an interesting thought and tried it out. The room was fairly large and the matress was fairly big. It was around a size bigger than king size. I influence the peoples thoughts and they start to get on the mattress the others pick up the mattress and start tossing it up and down. The tense mood in the room earlier gone.
"That was a new one, the lady says. Now to become the domain controller you must go through training."
"One question though why was the test so easy?" I ask curiously
"Because you showed creativity when all had lost hope. Most people fail to do anything in that test let alone make a game in it." She tells me while I feel myself teleported
