Demigod Teachers
Percy's sides hurt as he walked up Ben Nevest, It wasn't the worst trek he had ever made but at the same time it wasn't enjoyable, but he kept climbing as he knew his mission, The third temple.
Temple One was deep in the ocean and required courage, Temple Two was high in the sky and required pure power to reach. It only made sense that the third temple was on the land and required wisdom to reach. Unfortunately, wisdom wasn't his strong point; he was the son of Sea not the son of wisdom after all.
Normally they could get around his lack of wisdom through Annabeth but Percy definitely wasn't going to drag out his seven-nearly 8- months pregnant wife. No, she staying protected in a well-lit room guarded by Hazel. His two companions on his trip weren't the wisest, his sister Tracey Davies fell Into the same boat as him being the daughter of the sea and Harry Black while not dumb by any means was still discovering things and was certainly not wise.
The three of them had been walking for nearly 2 hours at that point in relative silence as they listened to the sounds of nature. Grover would be so proud of him right now. The peak was just up ahead of them and Percy finally felt the stress in his shoulders drop, Even after nearly nine months of being back in the game his body still wasn't back in peak form maybe 8 years of not being a hero was maybe too long to get back into it.
Harry and Tracey collapsed to the ground as they reached the peak close behind him, Their bodies were sore and Percy wished he didn't have to drag the two of them up here but as they had helped with the previous two temples they were the best choices for them to come with him.
Reaching into his backpack Percy pulled out a bottle of water and poured it over his head "The old water refresh never fails to work." Tracey and Harry looked at him exhausted, with Harry saying "You look better than you did before we even started the climb?! How!" Percy smirked as he sat down on a large rock "Simple Harry. The power of Poseidon. Now soup?" He pulled out the canister of soup he had made before they left."
Harry and Tracey sat down in front of him and he poured them both a cup with Harry raising an eye "And you were commenting on Hagrid rock cakes. Why is the soup blue?"
Percy chuckled as he took a large sip of his vegetable soup "Don't worry it's just vegetable soup with blue food dye. Just something that was special between my mom and me when I was growing up that now Annabeth and I share."
The two nodded absent-mindedly and sipped with soup and they sat like that for about 5 minutes before Tracey asked "So what are we actually doing up here?" Percy shrugged his shoulders lightly "Good question… the truth is I don't know. The only part of the old tales we were able to decipher had to do with this mountain and Wisdom. So my plan is to sit and wait until it comes to me."
The two of them bolted up straight with them screeching "That's your grand plan!" With a small smile, Percy took another sip of his soup "Correct. Look it's less stupid than talking to a pink mini-poodle."
Before crossing his leg on the rock and closing his eyes, slowing his breathing and allowing himself to relax. He was closer to both of his uncle's realms at this very second than he was to his own father's but he didn't mind. Neither would dare make a move on him while he was up here. As he sat and listened he heard the flapping of wings near him and there was only one animal that it could be this high up, he didn't say anything but he smiled. Athena was watching him. Maybe he could finally prove he was worthy of Annabeth's hand of marriage now?
He had to stop himself from snorting, it was highly unlikely. Focusing his mind once more he let go of everything, the breathing from his students vanished, and the hooting of the owl and the whistling of the wind went silent. He was at one with himself and slowly a bright white light appeared around him and he slowly opened his eyes
Unknown- The Primordial Realm
A small smile appeared on Zoé face as she studied Tartarus, his face distorted in annoyance "Damn it! How in the name of chaos have you destroyed my Avatar!" Zoé didn't say anything and studied the chess board carefully, her next moves needed to be made very carefully especially as she didn't have much time left in this realm.
She moved the King piece, Percy to the left while Tartrus continued to study Bianca saying with a grin "Well Love, family, my brother and brother-in-law being total badass But you wouldn't that You're just a pathetic immortal after all."
Taurus snapped up to glare at her but said nothing, he didn't need to the glare told Bianca and Zoé everything they needed to glow. He turned back to the board and said with a deep growl that trembled the realm "Make your move, Demi-titan"
Zoé chuckled and stretched back hiding her legs from the primordial "You're getting slow. I've already made my move." Just as she finished glowing there was a flash of light and standing just off to the side of the group of 3 stood Percy Jackson his eyes closed and breathing steady.
He opened his eyes slowly "Tartarus." Zoé studied Percy carefully and noticed how solid he looked, his physical body had entered the primordial realm. She had not been expecting that but it explained why she could actually touch her feet again for the first time since she died. Her plan to return to the real world was returning.
Percy's sea-green eyes darted around the room before his eyes settled on Bianca and Zoé, Zoé could barely hear it but she heard his voice crack slightly as he said "Zoé…Bianca…oh don't tell me Athena finally killed me."
Bianca chuckled "Not dead yet Kelp-Head." The 13-year-old got up and hugged Percy who held her tightly "It's been a long time Binca. I thought you went for a second life." The girl looked up at him and said "Chaos had other plans."
Percy slowly let go of her and went up to Zoé and kneeled "Zoé…I'm sorry, it was my.." Zoé rolled her eyes "It was not thou's fault Perseus. The fates had decided my fate. Now stand up and give me a hug. Talking to you as a sword spirit isn't the same." Percy hugged the immortal 15-year-old "Wait so the spirit that's inside is actually you?" She shrugged her shoulder "Not quite but we're connected."
Percy let go of her and stared at Tartarus "I'm surprised you aren't doing anything." The Promdoiral being stayed silent as he glared at Percy and the two immortal teenagers. Percy pulled out Riptide from his pocket "So are we going to end this here?!"
The primordial stood up slowly "Trust me, pathetic demigod. If I could I would. But even I do not dare defy Chaos in her sacred realm!"
Percy's eyes widened as the amount of raw energy flowing around him finally hit him and he struggled to not fall to the ground "Chaos's realm? How's that possible? Nobody meant to be able to exist here. Every being is meant to fade from existence."
Tartarus chuckled "That they are, as a Primdorial my powers are heavily weakened here while these two pathetic heroes are already dead. They don't have much from the creator to drain. But you! You should be dead, obliterated from this realm. Wiped from existence. No…Chaos herself is protecting you! Is that how it is?! The faceless creator picking a side in his creations battle! When my raw power is fully unleashed I shall slaughter this precious champion of yours."
The entire realm shook violently and everyone including Tartarus was thrown to their feet before there was a flash of light and a blinding being spoke in a voice that was neither man, woman, God, Titan or Primdorial. It was as if when they spoke a new galaxy was formed into existence.
Do not dare challenge me Τάρταρος, A reign by you will see the chaos known as order shattered and all of creation burn. This future will not come to pass. Ο Περσέας Τζάκσον, γιος του Ποσειδώνα, σήκωσε τον Ανάκλωστο σε μένα.
The Greek that the creator spoke was broken and fractured but Percy could gather what they were saying and lifted Riptide up to her, kneeling down as he did so. The creator tapped Riptide with their finger lightly and the sword glowed brightly
Let my power flow through your blade into every attack you make Son of Ποσειδώνα.
Ζωή Στρύχνος Daughter of Άτλας And Μπιάνκα Ντι Άντζελο Daughter of Άδης I grant you new life."
The three of them started to glow as Tartarus screamed "NOOOO!"
Percy struggled for his breath as he opened his eyes back open, Harry and Tracey before having handed on him shaking him gently in concern. He had just been to Chaos's realm…He had just seen the creators themselves, stood in the same room as Tartarus and seen Bianca and Zoé for the first time properly in over a decade.
Controlling his breathing he said "I'm okay…I'm okay." Harry stared at him in disbelief "Are you sure Sir, You were violently shaking and your eyes were glowing with bright light. We've spent nearly 20 minutes trying to snap you out of it."
Percy blinked several times at this before staring at his hands "20 minutes huh…Sorry for scaring you guys." Tracey sighed in relief "Well at least you seem like yourself big bro….but what happened?"
Running his hand down his face Percy struggled to find the right words until they escaped his lips "I met god."
Harry tilted his head confused "Sir don't you meet gods all the time? That's not something special." Percy shook his head "No…not the Olympians, nor the Titans or even the Primdorials. I'm talking about the original one. God with a capital G."
Tracey raised her eyebrow "What like the Christan's god?" Percy nodded "All faiths share one original one. We know them, by different names and have different origins but they are all Original Creator, The original God…Chaos."
His sister's eyes widened in shock "You met Chaos?!" Percy nodded "I was in her realm…Tartarus dared to question her and she appeared…She infused Riptide with her power."
Harry and Tracey looked between themselves "Is that why there these two girls passed out here?"
Percy tilted his head. Chaos had mentioned giving new life to Bianca and Zoe. Standing up he said, "Where are they?" He was led to a large walk slightly further across the peak where Zoe and Bianca rested their heads against each other, unconscious but certainly breathing.
Keeping an eye on the two demigods he didn't look at his two students as he told them "Pack our things. We need to get back to Hogwarts!"
Harry asked firmly "Why? What about the third temple?"
Percy's voice got caught in his throat for a second before he regathered his posture "Because the Final battle is almost upon us and we need to be ready, there is no need for the 3rd temple anymore. Riptide as the power of creation flowing through her."
Malfoy Manor
A shadow filled one of the remaining demigod corpses that Voldemort had managed to find thanks to Tartarus and the Dark lord of Magic's eyes narrowed "A New body Primdoiral"
"Unfortunately so Mortal. But we must prepare the final assault on that pathetic institute of learning before Perseus Jackson learns to harness his new power and wipe me from existence before my true reckoning." Tearing off the eyepatch that had covered the dead demigod's damaged left eye prior to his death showing the shadow's filling the void "It's time to end this."
A/N
TWO MORE CHAPTERS REMAIN...PLUS AN EPILOGUE.
It feels weird to be nearly at the end of this story. I started this story back in August of 2020. Just over 3 years ago now back on ; When I started this I was just starting College and now 3 years later I've left Uni with a degree in Music and this story is wrapping up. Within this story, I can see an evolution of my writing style and how I've changed as a writer.
But it also feels good. Over this past year, I've felt like this story has been a burden. I've wanted to move on from it but I've refused to let myself abandon another story so I've continued on. But with the end in close sight. I feel my creative passion for stories starting to flow once more. As this chapter of my life ends and this story ends I find both my own life and stories entering the next new exciting era.
Sorry for rambling I hope you've enjoyed these past 32 chapters and will stick with me for the final battle and epilogue in chapters Ch33-35 which will be coming soon (Before November 2023)
