Book 2: Revenge

3 years after the defeat of the Destroyer, the Campers and Gods are safe and sound...until they realise that Twin Masters has blessed a demigod with his powers. Not restricted by the Ancient Laws, the demigod is free to do as he or Twin Master wishes. Only one person can stop them, but he was exiled a long time ago. And what do the Japanese Gods have to do with this plan?

Lin Chung was still say down, rocking himself. It had been nearly two years since they had abandoned him. He looked up. Would they ever let him go? He would willingly avoid them…but who were 'them'?

As long as he could communicate with other beings. He was lonely here. There was no one, and he sometimes thought that there were people that weren't there. He shook his head. He knew he was there. He just couldn't prove it…right?

Lin Chung looked forward, his eyes empty and haunted. He had to wait. He had to be patient. Patient. He repeated this in his head. "Be patient. Then, someone will get you out."

Three years later…

"And you have done Olympus a great service." Zeus boomed. Perseus Jackson smiled at Nico di Angelo and Thalia Grace while pointedly ignoring the others. It had been three years since they had abandoned Lin Chung to his fate. Hawk was now sulking in the corner, glaring Artemis down.

Percy never thought that Artemis would be scared of anything, especially how she was physically 26 years old, while Hawk was around 15. But she was shrinking into her throne and the hunters who tried to support their mistress also found themselves being glared down or dropping from their seats onto the hard cold floor.

They were now immortal, much to his displeasure, but at least his friends were also immortal, right? Yup, he smiled at Thalia again as she smirked back. Life was good now.

They had just returned from stopping a small rebellion army of Gaia's, and the gods were congratulating them. The Chinese gods had come along, for whatever strange reason, but Hawk looked especially downcast. The congratulations finally ended, and Lëi stepped forward. The gods immediately snapped to attention.

He cleared his throat. "Yes, we also congratulate the young demigods in front of us, but, I'm afraid that there is more startling news." He paused for a moment before outright saying it. "Twin Masters is once again rising."

"But Hawk defeated him last time, didn't he?" Annabeth Chase asked.

Hawk scowled at her. "With Lin Chung. But no, he has risen once more. Some foolish demigod awoke him, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a child of Athena." He spat. Annabeth looked away. Even now, Hawk still bore a strong grudge against the gods and campers that had supported her.

Lëi quickly interrupted. "Yes. But, even though he is immortal and restrained, a demigod is not." Hestia caught onto the meaning quickly.

"You're saying that Twin Masters managed to find a host?"

"Close, Hestia," Hawk tilted his head. "Close. Twin Masters has blessed a demigod with his powers. It is not known why he hasn't done this before, but, still, this is now."

Eagle sighed. "As this demigod is not restricted by Ancient laws, he can openly attack any of us with the strength of Twin Masters; at the very least, with around four fifths of Twin Masters' powers. It is still considered quite powerful, considering that we are not allowed to interfere."

"So what do we do?" Athena demanded. "Find a demigod and infuse him or her with powers?" Hawk shook his head.

"We have sworn not to force a demigod with the power. Anyway, it takes intense training in order to try and host even a little bit of our power, which we think is why he has only done this now."

"And there is no such mortal in existence." Athena guessed. The Chinese gods all nodded their heads save for three. Lëi turned to them, head tilted.

"Hawk? Re? Wong Tai Sin?"

Hawk frowned. "Not exactly. There is one such mortal. He was trained to host a god's essence. That is beyond anyone's power. He can help us." Eagle sighed.

"Hawk, I know you want to help the mortal, but we cannot help him."

Hawk pulled away from her comforting arm. "No! There is a way! He is already healing." Lëi froze.

"Hawk, please tell me you didn't." He sounded weary, and slightly exasperated.

"Didn't what?" Athena cut in.

Hawk titled his head innocently. "Bring Lin Chung out of the dimension? Yes. Train him? Yes. Help him recover? Check."

Zhu Rong frowned. "But you can't. You don't have enough power alone-" He cut himself off, scowling. "Who?"

Re and Wong Tai Sin smirked. "We've been helping him." Lëi sighed, not sounding irritated, but tired.

"Why?"

Re frowned at her father. "Father, we could help him! He hasn't regained his full memories, but they are coming to him. His training still remains, though."

Lëi looked up. "What do you mean?"

Wong Tai Sin frowned as well. "Father, even after eight years in there-"

"Eight years?" Demeter demanded, sounding incredulous.

Hawk nodded. "There, time passes more than twice as quickly then in here." Wong Tai Sin continued.

"Even after eight years there, his mind is fragile, and on the point of crumbling at any moment. His foundations are still rebuilding, and his upper sections are like glass: easily breakable. His memories can't be stored fully yet."

"Why not?" Apollo asked, confused.

Hestia nodded, immediately understanding their dilemma. "Like this." She conjured up a shaky-looking building. "This is a building. In order for it to stay up, it needs to have strong foundations. This is like the mind. If you suddenly stacked things on it that will outweigh the weight of the building, the whole thing will crumble. Lin Chung has 3000 years' worth of memories."

Apollo slowly nodded. "So you mean that is we force the memories into him…"

Hawk nodded as well. "His mind will crumble, and he will either lose himself or turn unstable."
