WizardingDemi-God01:
So what is happening next? One of the main characters in the story hasn't been in the story yet (Gaia, well at least I can't remember her) so it cant be the end yet. And what about Loki? Will Percy be reborn as a god? Did Chaos turn him into a god or something as he died like other heroes were turned to gods? If fate has no control over him he could still stop Kronos, even as a god. Then he just has to get together with Nyx, you have teased that way too much. Percy can't be dead dead. Maybe I'm just in denial but I won't accept it. I've been reading this in my spare time since the beginning, and won't find another story as good as this one, so yeah.
A; Thanks for your dedication and here's the solution to your questions!
Ticanic42:
I'm assuming the story isn't over yet do to all the open ends you left and the fact that you previously state this story would be about 1 million word and this isn't even a goth of that yet ( also side note I discovered your story a week or two ago and just caught up only to be hit with this now I can't stop in need more it can't end like this I need more you gotten me addicted with your quality writing and for that I must commend you but seriously I NEED pernyx
A: Thanks and you read all of this within two weeks? Impressive.
Gues:
I'm not gonna lie, I'm done. I've followed your story and now I'm done with it. Such a terrible ending.
A: That's sad. Especially now.
Dragonboy2609:
Honestly at this point I give up trying to guess what will happen. The best I can see is an inkling of an idea as to how you're going to continue and/or end this story, and that's if you stay on one specific idea. In all honesty, it kinda seems like you are getting lost in where you are going with this story, but on the other hand, if you do know where you are going (which is what I hope), then you best be careful. It seems really out there, but nonetheless it is still a good story. Just try not to get so involved in the story/plot twists as to ruin the story(too much). Good luck! Can't wait for more!
A: Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing!
That Dam Damn:
The hidden message says "OT THIRTEEN". What do you mean by "OT"? The letter to Hestia had the prophecy, right? I got a lil confused due to so many scenes divided by line breaks. Also, Percy will be back, right? Just in another form? Please I need to know this! Composing myself, Thankyou soo much! Love your story. And I love you too for giving us all a beautiful story to read and that too with regular updates!
A: Rot13 was the hidden code, Rot13 is a code developed by Ceasar to encrypt messages. And thanks for the compliments!
Cooldude98:
Okay, so may different stories but these all connect. I get that Atlas is invited to ending the world, Nico might be the prophecy child, Carter and Sadie know something really bad has happened, and the queen of the Laybrinth has returned. And who can forget. Percy Jackson is dead and Chaos has faded! Also... Come play with me Poseidon Son- someone is interested in Percy's adventure, mahbe Chaos You can't tempt fate and come undone- he can't win forever Two new threats you must face- Despina and.. Triumvirate? Or the ones who invited Atlas? The first unleashed by Hero's breath- Maybe that Despina used her final breath to trap Atlas but he is beingfreed You know what, i don't have the time for this. Keep up the great work!
A: So, you spent a lot of thought on it. And you are are mostly right, except about the prophecy.
Raze Olympus:
NEW PROPHECY BOIIIIIII! I'M SO FUCKIN HYPED!
A: Cool!
The-R-Meister:
The story is a puta... and I wanna straight answer that was this the outcome of a writers block or you did pan it. And I can make a bet that it is an outcome of writers block because in the reviews you gave out some spoliers or is there some thriller... Like percy is dead but he returns or something or the other
A: I planned it.
CTRI:
okay I'm going to crack your code, gimme a bit... BTW you update faster than I can read...
okay so I translated your message but I can't find the story
A: Here it is!
lolXDDDDDDDD:
WHAT? Is Percy being revived?
A: Who knows?
Anonymous:
Okay a couple quick questions Firstly Just cause Styx forbid him doesn't mean he can't right? In battle of the labyrinth the water nymph was scared Percy could wrench control of the river from her Now this was before achilles even, after which he became a crap tonne more powerful even in canon Now here Percy is the champion of chaos His water and fire powers rival Poseidon and Hestia, and if backed into a corner could probably overpower even them Now yes Styx is a goddess but Percy is also impossible more powerful, and should overpower her binds if he wanted to Similarly if he is chaos' champion, shouldn't fate not even apply to him? And he could've simply taken nyx's void sword and plunged it into Commodus instead of being a self sacrificing dude I mean he had so many options and loopholes he could've exploited that him being killed seems simply just for the heck of it... I really liked this fic but the last few chapters(last 5-7) are not making a lot of sense or are seeming forced Sorry for the rant, didn't mean any disrespect Update soon:
A: Percy won't be able to bend the rivers of the underworld without Styx's permission. The first time he caught her of guard. Second The rivers of the underworld fall under Styx's domain which autoclasses power.
Third reason: Plot convenience.
Sithdoom:
do read on a phone! I actually hate the desktop version, I just cant read anything on PC, however on a phone I can lie down where ever, get comfy and read.
A: Oh, I read it on my microwave. It's really relax.
GottenApollo560:
so if Percy died and is assumingly in the underworld does Hades know about chaos since Percy and her's soul were essenatly one?
A: Hades doesn't sense every soul and Percy's soul/mind are obsecured from that kind of things.
Snowden chapter:
3 words: "I'll be back!
A: That would be fun
Ok:
Are the three words "I'll be back"
A: Nope
Dissapointed:
I'm sad it's over, more so, angry. I hate you now (not really). You're mean (not actually I don't know you), like there was a solid relationship between Nyx and Percy and you just shot it, threw it into a pit, burned it, took its ashes, made them into charcoal, turned it into gunpowder, and used it to make a bullet just to shoot it again. Like who does that? (I actually really like your story don't get me wrong) I'm just... UGHHH it's a worse feeling than finding out that Luke was the actual hero who killed Kronos. SOOOOO MUCH plot you set up you need to address, what happened to Luke, Nyx, War outcome, (A LOT MORE STUFF I CAN'T THINK OF RIGHT NOW). Prophecy falls to Nico who probably will go psycho after Biancas death, what happens next? it surely can't end here TELL US!
A: Read and see!
MarethyuQ:
first off, beautiful chapter, rot thirteen? did i miss something? the multiple characters here are great, the plot thickens! will we ever know what's in percy's letter? what about caroline crystal? (looks like a child of aphrodite with charmspeak, or at least someone with charmspeak) who invited atlas? got a feeling its the norse. the adventures of nico and meg, begin. and finally, will we see what happens to percy?
A: Nope it's not a Aphrodite child, though the person has appeared before.
Alex Focker:
I was wondering if there's something going on with the bolded letters, but I'm too lazy to search all of them and find the pattern or find out if they mean anything, and the random keyboard mashing seems way to organized in a way that leaves spaces which doesn't contain any symbols or digits, so I'm assuming it's a code using some online software or your own secret code, I could probably unravel all of this and find if it means anything but im too lazy, unless all of this is just random mistakes and mean nothing.
A: Rot13
Yu Tae Kim:
what is bxnl
A: It's a code.
Book 6: Still Alive
(Percy POV)
Dying was the worst choice I ever have made in my life, both my lives.
Which is a contradiction.
First I was like, well. This should be fun but it wasn't. Not at all.
The scrap metal in my stomach was still burning hot, burning away my guts.
Die a painful dead in water Styx whispered cruelly.
As I was descending deeper into the water I saw a light source above my head, but it was impossible to see something except that it was blinding me.
I tried to say something before it was too late but only bubbles spurted out of my mouth and I silently cursed, if this went wrong...well, I was already dying.
I concentrated, using up everything I had left in me I managed to mutter three words before dying at the bottom of the ocean.
(Linebreak)
My mind swirled around in circles, memory popped up and faded.
Martha opened her mouth and coughed up a white letter.
Hermes caught it with ease and handed it to me.
I frowned, this was important right? I suddenly felt a jerk in my gut but before I could wonder what was happening I was dragged back into the memory.
Playtime's over, prepare to die.
I have received a lot of death threats in my life, mostly I put them in the spam folder but there was something important about it.
Then it struck me. This letter could not be traced by Chaos.
Normally I would ignore it and move on with my life but in my years as a demigod I learned not to ignore those things, they mostly get you killed; which in my case is kind of what happened.
Here I was, with a death threat that couldn't be traced by Chaos.
My first decision was to assume this was not a joke or a loose threat or maybe avoid dying. Something was going on with my second life, the prophecies and the oracles always acted weird around me, I had strange anomalies which did not made sense.
I was going to die.
Instead of trying to prevent it, trying to work around it I decided to have peace with it. If this really was something from an oracle or whatever trying to defy it would do no good.
Defying a prophecy is like building your own trap and then step in it; in the end it always got you.
Of course, I could decide to die but if I die the prophecy would pass on to Nico, Luke would be stuck with Kronos and a lot of innocents would die.
I couldn't let that happen.
Another jerk, my body shook, and I was pulled out of my memory and thrown into another one.
I flipped the note and began to write on the back.
It was hard to choose the best words without looking crazy or pathetic but ultimately I wrote down the words: Hey, if you're reading this. I am dead. Sorry for all the commotion. However, I want you all to wait a month after I died with all the planning and crying. I might have found a loophole. If I'm not back after a month, I probably failed. In that case more instructions should magically appear on this note.
Greetings Percy Jackson.
I put it back in the envelope.
My body began to dry itself, then I realized I was actually wet; which shouldn't be possible since I was a son of Poseidon, then again. I just died in the sea.
"Choosing death? Both of you? An interesting choice." A male voice suddenly said, startling me but before I could trace the voice I was dragged back in another memory.
How to escape death? I wondered, I knew a few people who had escaped death, Sisyphos, Hazel, Houdini and Leo.
Maybe I could pull a Leo and use the Physician's Cure, however I didn't have a metal dragon to revive me after I'm dead. Maybe Nyx could do it for me but what if I died in flames and my body would be burned away? Or what if I died alone?
Now the Physician's Cure was not an option.
What about escaping Hades? Maybe they would send me back, unlike Hazel I was not a child of Pluto, besides, escaping Hades was hard. Maybe it would be possible, but it would be a long shot. However, I knew it was almost impossible to do it, and if I succeeded. Well, who knows what the Gods might do.
No Hades was not the answer.
Suddenly my eyes flew open, I gasped for air and try to see where I was but the only thing I saw was gray mist swirling underneath me, it was so thick kit made me dizzy, and I was dragged in yet another memory.
Katie, she was dead. In shock, I stared at Nótt, "You're joking right?"
"Nope." she said casually.
'Percy, there might be a way to get Katie back.' Hemera said which made Nótt flinch.
"No." She is dead Nótt said.
'But she died in Jötunheimr which means her soul won't go to Hades.' Hemera had answered.
Helheim.
Her soul did not go to Hades but to Helheim because she died on Norse territories.
Then I realized it, there were multiple afterlives and it was possible to manipulate to which one you go.
"STOP Struggling!" someone yelled from above me, I frowned. "Huh?" I asked smartly, still feeling fuzzy in my head.
"Do you want to fall in the Ginnungagap?" she yelled, it was definitely a she.
I had no idea what a Ginnungagap was, but falling in a place I could not pronounce did not sound good for my health.
Ginungap, Ginniegaagap?
No, I could not pronounce it.
I decided it was better to cooperate with the voice.
There were like 42 guys in the Egyptian afterlife I was supposed to know by name, I remembered that fact suddenly.
'Why was that important?' I wondered, then I remembered it.
I had been researching the afterlives, trying to figure out an effective way to cheat death, so I could continue on with my mission.
But the Egyptian afterlife was not an option, I knew nothing about them and after researching it; it made me even more afraid of dying.
Besides, I've only heard one story of someone returning to earth, and that was even illegal.
Setne.
But I couldn't do such a thing.
Then I remembered something; someone who died and came back to hang out on earth.
Chase.
Magnus Chase.
Going to Valhalla, Magnus did it, and I knew that it was possible for a Greek to get to another Pantheon's afterlife thanks to Katie.
What were the terms for Valhalla? I had spent hours in the library, trying to find out as much as I could. Turns out, getting in Valhalla was not as hard as getting into the Egyptian afterlife.
The only things I had to do was: Have a connection with the Norse gods, die with a weapon in my hand and die a heroic death; preferably a sacrifice.
I had a connection with the Norse Gods, my best friend being one, or at least one of her aspects. I met Loki, Thor and Hel so connections with the Norse Gods was good.
Die with a weapon in my hand. I could manage and the same for a Heroic death. Being a demigod gives you a lot of opportunities for a heroic death.
But would it work?
I wasn't sure.
Until Halloween.
Oh, that was so much fun. Getting to a spooky church in Brooklyn and returning the Helmet of Darkness for a third time, thinking about it caused me to have another flashback.
Hades's expression turned to happiness, "Well demigods, you did a great job."
"What was Melinoe talking about when she said fear will raze through the streets?" Annabeth asked. Hades shrugged, "I think it was a loose threat. Don't worry." "So the quest is over? Can we go home now?" Thalia asked.
Hades shrugged, "I think it was a loose threat. Don't worry."
"So the quest is over? Can we go home now?" Thalia asked.
"Yes, you can return to whatever you were doing." he said, and he waved his hand, shadows engulfed our bodies but before my vision darkened Hades said one thing, "And Percy, the answer you're looking for lies not in Olympus."
The answer you're looking for lies not in Olympus.
Not in Olympus.
Like, not in the Greek Pantheon?
Did Hades just told me the plan could work?
Or was it just some mis interpreting from my part?
I needed a second opinion.
"Your plan is complete madness!" Lyssa had told me. "I like it!"
This didn't mean anything since she was the Goddess of Madness.
Suddenly I was forcefully pulled out of my memory and dropped into another memory, except it wasn't a memory.
It was a vision; or at least I must have been because I didn't remember anything.
I stood on a stone platform, at the edge of what looked like an indoor swimming pool filled with lava. The air shimmered with heat. Ashes stung my eyes.
I stood next to a woman, she looked around 18-20 years old.
She had long auburn hair gathered up in a doughnut braid and wore a gray sleeveless dress.
She had eyes black as pearls, filled with bitterness and sadness; like she witnesses the fall of the world and was forced to see it again.
"Tell Percy," she said, which made me wonder if she was aware of me, "It's time to strike back and dethrone the emperors. Free me, use fire against fire. Use the…"
She choked and it sounded so bad I flinched, "Are you alright?" I asked, but she didn't hear me.
She was choking like she was throwing up glass shards, finally she said. "Seven letter word. Stars with M ends with S."
"What?" I asked the vision was already fading away, instead I was falling of the Liberty statue again.
I landed in the water and muttered my final words. "I claim Valhalla."
Words ran through my mind, a female voice. The same voice that had told me not to struggle.
"Don't make me regret this," she had said.
My consciousness faded.
(Linebreak)
I woke up gasping for air, expecting to feel pain.
I was sitting on the floor. I quickly got up and looked at my guts. The gaping hole was gone.
My clothes were not burned away by Greek fire, my camp-halfblood shirt was not torn apart by scrap metal, I was completely fine.
My head swirled as one thought ran through my head, 'I made it!'
'Oh my Gods, we made it!' Chaos cried out, 'We made it!'
After the excitement of being alive died down Chaos said. 'Of course we would make it.'
I took a look around.
I was standing in the entry courtyard of an opulent town house. Eight storeys of imposing white limestone and grey marble jutting into the winter sky. The double front doors were dark heavy wood bound with iron. In the center of each was a life-size wolf's-head door knocker.
There was no exit. Only fifteen-foot-tall white limestone wall surrounding the courtyard, not even a front gate.
Over the walls I could see a few skyscrapers and surrounding buildings, which meant I was still in the mortal world.
On the wall hung a bronze sign, saying: WELCOME TO THE GROVE OF GLASIR. NO SOLICITING. NO LOITERING. HOTEL DELIVERIES: PLEASE USE THE NIFLHEIM ENTRANCE.
Suddenly I heard a sound coming from behind me, I turned around and saw someone sitting on the floor.
I probably overlooked him in my excitement.
He gasped for air, and his hands went to his stomach, touching it like he expected it to disappear any moment.
He got to his feet, not having me has noticed yet, and studied himself with surprise.
He was around one or two years older than me and had a pale skin.
He had storm grey eyes, like Annabeth's, his hair parted in the middle, hanging to his jawline in a curtain of tangled dirty blond.
He reminded me of that guy from Nirvana, what was his name again? Kurt Cobain.
I smiled, I knew this guy.
"Hey!" I called out, startling him. It was clear he hadn't noticed me.
"Who are you?" he asked when his gaze fixed on me, "Where are we?"
I decided to pretend I didn't know him. Otherwise, things might get messy.
"I'm Percy Jackson, who are you?" I said ignoring the second question.
He frowned, "Where are we?"
"What's your name?" I asked again.
He studied me, finally said, "My name is Magnus, Magnus Chase."
A/N Boom, big reveal! Who expected this?
The crossover officially started, also, for the people who haven't read Magnus Chase yet. I encourage you to stick around. I will write from the idea the protagonist don't know anything about the Norse Gods. So if you don't know it either, you can learn it now!]
Also, this will have some minor changes to the cannon storyline, changes that affect the main story line.
So reviews are appreciated!
