PJO/Overlord (Earlier this Year/2013)
The New Overlord
A Good Overlord?
It was only a year after her son was born that Sally Jackson decided to awaken parts of her ancestry that had lain dormant for nearly five generations, however at the age of five each child was taught the family secret by their mother or father. This secret that had been passed down for nearly 250 years was fiendish and malicious, what secret did the Jackson family hide? What act of cruel depravity or monstrosity hid in their closet alongside the skeletons of thousands of men, women, fluffy seals and various other creatures of the cute and fluffy persuasion. The ancient and horrible secret? 'You are the descendent of a great and powerful being, a being who has the power to conquer worlds. You are the next heir to the throne of Darkness, you are the lord/lady of cruelty and depravity, you are the Overlord/lady' At the age of five Sally had been taught all about the secret magics of the Overlord, she had also been taught the origins of the Minions, the might that the Overlords wielded and of the inept but dangerous skills of the Heroes.
So with her fear of what Zeus and the other immortal monsters would do to her and her son, Sally Jackson opened a gateway between the worlds, she would be the first in over 250 years to set foot in the Dark Tower. Her magic, having been crafted by a particularly smart Overlord in the past, instead took her to the current capital of Darkness. The Netherworld. A bastion, slightly degraded, of Cruelty and Evil (also mold, mildew and several different species of beetle, and one particularly stubborn mole)
Netherworld, Throne Room
Sally Jackson appeared in the Throne Room of the Netherworld holding her infant son, as soon as she appeared her and her son's eyes start to blaze like fires from the inferno below. Sally smiles as she feels the ancient powers of Darkness fill her being, filling a void that had too long stood empty. She quickly shifts to the side conjuring a fireball when she hears a shuffling, only to see a very surprised Grey Minion standing there with a small army of Brown Minions behind him.
Gnarl had been depressed, for nearly 250 years there had been no Overlords or Ladies, no Kings or Queens of Darkness, no dark pillagers, dastardly pirates, masterfully cruel mistress of Evil. The Minions had long since lost hope, but when he sensed a powerful being appear in the Throne Room he still rushed up with an army of twenty Brown Minions. Only to be shocked as the blazing eyes of an Overlady and her progeny glare back at him. Gnarl quickly kneeled and said "My Lady, I am honored to stand in your presence. We Minions have been far too long without a Master or Mistress. We humbly offer ourselves to you in our ancient servitude" Gnarl looked up as he heard a dark chuckle.
Sally had finally realized what standing in Darkness could do to a person, but while she felt Evil trying to contaminate her and her son she quickly and ruthlessly subdued it. Sally would take her mantle as Overlady only until her son came of age, when he did she would give him the power, for she was under no illusions as to who was stronger. In the meantime she would teach him three things. First, no matter what you do not betray Family or lovers, unless they betray you first. Second: Only take one mistress, only a man or woman overcompensating for something takes multiple lovers. Finally: Always treat women with respect, Sally didn't want to see her son become a rapist.
"Rise, Minion Master Gnarl. I will only be Overlady until my son comes of age. Then I will transfer power to him and become his advisor, he is far stronger then I"
Gnarl's wrinkly left eyebrow rises "How do you know this mistress?"
Sally smiles "Simple, he is the son of a God. He is a Demigod, I cannot hope to compete with that when he reaches maturity"
Gnarl hums "Hmmm, A Demigod, What pantheon if I might ask?"
Sally looks slightly confused but answers "Greek"
Gnarl breaks out in a large smile "Ahh, Greek. Such a interesting pantheon, their open debauchery is only surpassed by the Romans"
Sally shakes her head "How do you know about the Greek Pantheon?"
"Once had a drinking contest with Dionysus… and I believe that Apollo still owes me ten Drachma"
Sally palms her face with her free hand… She should have know it would be something like that. Minions were incredibly loyal vassals of evil, they were also often dumb as a boot and do things that while stupid and comedic more often than not led to the victory of the Overlord.
Sally then sighs and starts walking towards the Throne of the Netherworld, she simply sits upon the Throne (an act with more significance then most would think) and then asks "So then Gnarl, tell me of my domain and of what has occurred since the Overlords departure two hundred and fifty years ago"
