Chapter 1

Zoe POV

I felt darkness around the boy I was watching. He looked so lifeless that you might mistake him for the living dead. I knew what happened to him, I thought that daughter of Athena would be perfect for him. I guessed wrong, this man was the only thing that I thought all males lost. I wanted to comfort him, help him, tell him that he isn't alone, and most of all. Make those dull sea green eyes of his shine happiness once more.

I looked away and saw Ouranos looking at me. I bowed and asked "What brings you here Lord Ouranos?"

"I sense you want to go back to the living. I could send you back there, do you wish to return?" Ouranos asked. I knew my answer and said "Yes"

Percy POV

I arrived in a different section of the forest and knew that the Hunters won't be able to catch up with me in their condition. I was blinded for a while and saw the Huntress who was believed to be in the sky. She had silver plate armor and a silver helmet with a gold visor in one arm and the other holding a bow. "Hello Perseus, it's been a while hasn't it?" she said with a tint of happiness. "Hello Zoe, mind telling me why are you here and how did you get out of the sky?" I said with some curiosity. She started telling me about watching me from the sky and Ouranos offering her a chance to live again. "I also want to make you happy again. Will you let me join you?" She said. I nodded and told her that would camp here. She agreed and started scanning the place.

3rd POV

(At Olympus)

"Artemis what happened to you? Are your hunters safe?" Zeus was concerned of her daughter. "I'm fine Zeus. I have something to report. The source was Perseus Jackson. He took down the Titan Krios and managed to defeat my lieutenant and the hunters. I used force to capture him but I blacked out from the extreme amount of pain from him." Artemis reported and sat on her throne. "My son is still alive? I want to apologize to him." Poseidon who was in shock. The gods admired and feared the half-blood's strength.

"I don't think that's a good idea Poseidon. I suggest we let him hunt the monsters down and cool down." Athena stated. Poseidon looked downcast about the suggestion and knew it was the right thing to do. "Well Hades? What news do you have?" Zeus asked. Hades paled if that was even possible. "I felt a disturbance in the Underworld. The aura was very ancient and felt like pure evil. It seems to be rising and I can't its progress. The estimate time is very unpredictable. I also heard one word from the being." Hades said. The gods were curious and made a go-on gesture.

"Darkness"

Percy POV

We were hunting a group of monsters down and they led us to their base. Zoe and I climbed onto the treetops and fired our arrows. One by one monsters were disintegrating. Zoe jumped and took out her hunting knives in midair slashing several monsters down. I jumped down taking out Riptide slashing the Minotaur down. After the ambush was done, we started looking for clues why the monsters were gathering. "You alright Perseus?" Zoe asked. I nodded "And you can just call me Percy." I added. "Okay Percy." Zoe smiled at me and I was lost in her silver eyes. "We better keep moving." Zoe said knocking me out of my thoughts. "Let's go" I said.

3rd POV

(At Camp Half-Blood)

Annabeth felt guilty about leaving Percy. She wanted him to come back and knew that wasn't going to happen. Camp started to realize that Mark was a jerk and selfish. Campers regretted at what they done for tossing away their friend like that. Mark tried to change his acts and personality and the campers appreciated it but were too guilty to do any events.

? POV

The world will be plunged into chaos. It will be covered in darkness. My army shall take over the world and the last artifact on Earth will be ours.

3rd POV

(At Olympus)

The gods were discussing about what to do with the threat. Athena suggested getting more allies and training the half-bloods while Ares suggested doing a head on attack. A flash of light appeared in the center of the Throne Room revealing 5 pitch black armored soldiers. "Who are you?" Zeus boomed with his master bolt in his hand. The soldiers didn't respond nor attacked the gods. Zeus threw his bolt at them and didn't make a scratch. The gods gasped how they still survived. The middle soldier stepped up not revealing his face like the others and talked in a sinister voice. "In 5 day. Camp Half-Blood, the Olympians will be annihilated by the Precursors." They flashed away in a dark light.

There is my longest chapter! Like it? A nice dramatic cliffhanger don't you think?
