Chapter VIII
Due to the ideas of InspiredTheDreams I have decided to turn my story in a new direction than I originally planned. I hope that you will all like the new thought process I now have for this story. Because of this I changed the first paragraph from the last chapter ever so slightly. I will not tell you which part, just yet because I fear that will give away too much. Thank you for all who have read and voted. A big thank you for InspiredTheDreams. I hope that you like what I will do with your idea. Me no Rick Riordan.
If you remember I had skipped five hundred years with Destruction's POV.
Four Hundred Years In Past
Third Person POV
Chaos was getting worried. It had been one hundred years since he had rescued Perseus Jackson. During that time all Perseus had done was slept. Since Perseus hadn't woken up in all that time he had to keep the boy as healthy as he could with IVs and exercise. Finally, when Chaos thought that he would never wake Perseus did.
"Perseus Jackson." Percy flinched at Chaos's voice, but looked at the man he recognized as the man who had talked to him in his cell.
"How are you feeling Perseus?" Percy again flinched at the sound. Chaos was confused why was the boy flinching. He had saved him and hadn't harmed him. He decided to look into the boy's head and saw the reason.
"I am sorry Percy, I did not realize calling you by your full name hurt you so." It was rightfully so after all his enemies had called him by his full name, all the people that had tormented him. Chaos felt Percy accept his apology and sense his hesitant manner. Percy believed all of this was not true. That he was still in his old cell, that this was all an illusion. Chaos was going to have a tough time with convincing him that this was all true. He decided first things first was to get Percy back into fighting condition. Percy was going to have to fight Destruction and save the Universe.
"Let me re introduce myself. I am Chaos the creator of the Universe. I have saved you from the torment of my brother Destruction. He captured you one hundred and thirty two years ago after you defeated the Titan's and Gaea for the final time, putting them to sleep for good. He made you thing that you were in your old cell being tormented by your old captors for thirty two years. I finally convinced you to come with me and you have been resting for the past hundred years to recoup from all the torture you put up with from Destruction. You see before the I made the Universe there was myself and my brother Destruction. We were great friends, until I decided I wanted to make the Universe. Destruction grew angry at this, for he didn't want to share me. It was one of those things, how do you Earthlings put it, if I can't have you than no one can. We battled and I was able to scatter him. Now Destruction has come back and is seeking revenge against me. When he first started to reform I ignored him and for this I am sorry. I knew that he would recruit the Titans and Gaea to try and take over Earth, you see he needs the power from Earth to fully reawaken. I also knew that one of my great great grandchildren would have to battle to stop them from doing so. That was you Percy, the reason you went through all the pain and hardship was because I ignored my brother's escape instead of immediately scattering him again. I regret my actions, but cannot go back and fix them. This is where you come back in. I cannot fight my brother again without us erasing the Universe. I need you to save you family, the Earth, and the Universe from Destruction by permanently putting him back to sleep. This will most likely cost you your life, for this I am truly sorry. You will, in the end, sacrifice yourself for everyone in the Universe." Chaos could feel that Percy understood the information he had just been given, but still did not believe that this was real.
"We will now start your training." Percy sat up and nodded. He could understand that. Chaos tilted his head.
"Let's start with an examination to make sure you are in proper order to start." Percy's clothes disappeared to his surprise, it didn't really embarrass him, since much of the time he had been tortured he had been naked. Chaos looked him over to see that there were many scars.
"I am going to try and heal you." A black light enveloped Percy. When it was done the older scars were gone, but none of the ones that Destruction had left were. This was unfortunate since they were the worst. Chaos didn't understand why he couldn't heal Percy's wounds and decided to check his soul. What he found horrified him. Destruction had branded Percy's soul. That was the reason that he couldn't get rid of the scars. It would also Percy vulnerable to Destruction, which would hurt Percy in his upcoming battle with Destruction. He put Percy into some loose fitting, black workout clothes.
"I am sorry Percy, that is all I can heal you." Percy nodded his head in understandment. Chaos tilted his head. "Why haven't you answered me Percy?" Percy opened up his mouth and no sound came out. Percy was now mute after all his torture. Chaos made it so they could now talk to any being with his thoughts.
"You can now communicate through thoughts Percy."
Percy POV
I had woken up, confused and frightened. After all the last thing I remember was being tortured. I found myself in a white room with. I recognized him as the man that had supposedly taken me from my cell. The creator of the Universe, Chaos. He told me his story and I listened quietly. He then decided to do and examination and heal me the best he could. At one point I could feel that he was baffled by something and then horrified. I couldn't ask what was wrong, for I couldn't talk. I don't know how I knew, but I just did. I knew even if I opened my mouth that I could not make any noise. Finally he asked me why I couldn't respond and I opened my mouth. Just like I had thought no noise.
"You can now communicate through thought Percy."
"Really?"
"Yes, really." I was surprised that he answered, but then I was happy. I could communicate somehow. Chaos looked at me for several minutes, before his eyes lit up.
"Percy I am going to split you, just like when reformed from Tartarus. I am going to split your soul, but this time it will be more balanced than before."
"Why?"
"Because I need you to realize that this is real and before was too. I also need you to train with me at the same time and to gather power. I think this way will be best. I will split one soul to go to Earth and train with them. The other I will keep here. The part I will send to Earth will be blessed by the five primordials that you were before. That part of you will not remember though. The part I send to Earth will not remember any of this until you see your other half again. The soul I keep here, will thus have to suffer a little more with the pain between you two, but not so much like last time." With that a black light surrounded me.
Earth Percy POV (This is going to be confusing for just a bit until I separate them, sorry.)
When it died down I felt lighter, I felt happier, but at the same time sad. I looked over to my left to see a replica of myself. This replica, however seemed more hardened. Someone that couldn't feel anything, but was calm and controlled. It was weird.
"Percy." We both turned to face Chaos. "Percy I will now bless you." A black light enveloped my other half. He grew wings of black that had silver infused in them. They were beautiful. I looked at mine to see that they had changed even from the black and white they had been. They were both now fully black with gold infused in them. I wondered what else was different. Chaos handed the other me Reaper and Heartless. He gave me two new swords that transformed from ear cuffs.
"Their names are Righteous and Savior. Righteous is made of Celestial Bronze and Stygian Iron. Savior is Chaos Silver. I can't give you your others for they will be recognized. I will also give you armor made of Chaos Silver." A silver bracelet appeared on my left wrist. Then a ring of black appeared. "This is a bow that has unlimited arrows. Now one more thing to be settled. I will have Tartarus claim you for many of you powers can relate to his. Now all that is left is to pick a name and go." I thought about it for several minutes. I didn't want it to be obvious, but nothing dramatic. I would go with a totally mortal name.
"Dean." Chaos nodded.
"Good idea to pick a mortal name since you will be half primordial. Good luck Percy. I hope by the end of this peace will be made." I fell into darkness.
Third Person POV
Camp Olympus, as the two campus that joined together are now known as, were doing their daily drills. Bianca, Zoe, Nico, Annabeth, Thalia, and Aiden were training them. That is when the horn went off to signify a new camper. They rushed to find a small boy just inside the camp. The six immortals were confused and slightly alarmed. The boy was curled up. He had black wings with gold in them. One of them was tucked underneath while the other one covered him.He was wearing a black shirt and dark blue jeans. Bianca went to the boy and knelt down.
"Little one," she cooed at the boy. His wings fluttered. He raised his head, which was covered in dark black hair. His eyes of dark grey opened as he sat up. When he saw the others around him the boy grew frightened. His wings covered himself to block them out.
"Hey, it's okay. We aren't going to hurt you. We are here to help you." After a moment the boy's wings opened so that he could just peak out from them. "Hello little one. My name is Bianca. What's yours?" They were all surprised as a child's voice rang through there heads.
"Dean. My name is Dean." All looked at him hesitantly. Who was this child? Why did he have wings? Why could he commute telepathically? Who was his parent? Bianca recovered quickly.
"Well Dean, do you know where you are?" He shook his head. "Do you know where you came from?" He thought for a moment before shaking his head again. "Do you know anythings, besides your name?" Again the boy thought, but then shook his head. Annabeth let out a sigh, she didn't know what to do. Taking the kid in or not. He looked only four but no one knew what enemy they were facing. What if this child was part of their plan? A grey light appeared then and Tartarus appeared in front of the group.
"You have nothing to fear from this child. He is mine." The six looked from the primordial and back to the boy who was staring at the primordial.
"Why does he have wings? I thought that was Lady Nyx's thing," Annabeth asked.
"He is special. His lineage made him so. Now he will has no memory of his past. It is a painful one and I erased it for his own good. The child is six. He has no voice and thus I have granted him the ability to talk telepathically. He is to be raised here and trained. He will be a great assest to the coming war." With that Tartarus left.
"Who was that," Dean asked all of them. It was jarring to the rest. He was loud.
"He was your father," Annabeth told Dean. "Also can you please lower your voice. It is loud inside our heads."
"Sorry," he whispered. Tears started to well up in his eyes. "I didn't mean to hurt you." Surprisingly to everyone, Nico picked the boy up. Nico was used to taking care of his new younger sibling Natasha.
"It is alright Dean. We know you didn't mean to. It is alright." Dean hugged Nico who did so in return.
"Well Death Breath I think you have a new little one to watch over. He seems to have taken a liking to you." To Thalia's surprise and the rests amusement Dean stuck his tongue out to Thalia. Everyone laughed at Dean's antics. Dean yawned and snuggled into Nico. He fell asleep in Nico's arms.
"I'll take him to my cabin to sleep. I doubt Tartarus will have a problem with that. I think Natasha will like him. I mean she is only a year older." It was agreed and Nico took Dean to his cabin. He laid him down and then went to find Natasha.
Percy POV
I watched my other half disappear. It was weird to see a happier version of me. I wasn't all pain and suffering like last time, but I held the better part of it. This time I had much more calmness about me. I watched as my other half met our old friends.
"Are you ready to start your training Percy?" I turned to Chaos. He had granted me with his blessing. I felt stronger, but at the same time weak. This part of me was the part that still felt that this was all a lie.
"Don't worry about that right now. Your other half is working on that for you. You will gain trust in this world again. I hope that it isn't just your other half believing. I hope while you are here you also start to again." I doubted it, but nodded. He frowned.
"Let's start off with showing you around." I followed him as he showed me around his realm. It was one that only he and now I resided in. His palace was huge, it held many rooms and he told me they were portals to the other plants in the Universe.
"Can't you just teleport there?" I was confused at this.
"Yes, but it helps when I need people to come see me. The door to here moves on the planets, but when I need someone to come here I tell them where the door is at that moment." I understood that. He finished by showing me my room. It was like I was in space and I loved it. I was trapped in a cell and this room gave me the feeling of freedom.
"The training room is also on this floor. You can use it when ever you want. It will also be a great place to learn your new powers.
"What are they?" He laughed.
"That is for you to find out Percy. You can do whatever you want to tonight. Tomorrow the real training starts."With that he left and I was left alone.
Chaos POV
I hoped my plan worked. If not we were all doomed.
Dean POV
I heard giggling, a girl's giggle. I opened my eyes to meet a pair of black ones. A girl was smiling at me. I jumped back, frightened. I used my wings to cover my body.
"Natasha, that's not nice. You scared him." I heard the boy's voice. Nico. That is what the girl had called him. I opened my wings to Nico holding the girl who had been looking at me.
"Sorry Dean. This is my little sister Natasha. She will not harm you, she just gets excited easily. She is a year older than you are. I hope that you too can become friends, because you will be staying with me and her here in this cabin."
"Are there any others?" Nico shook his head.
"One other. Her name is Hazel, but she sleeps elsewhere." I nodded. Natasha squirmed out of Nico's arms and came back over to me. I was some what frightened, but I let her come near.
"Can I touch your wings?" I nodded. She carefully reached her hand out and stroked my wings. It felt great. I spread my wings out and she petted more. I heard Nico chuckle.
"That's enough Natasha." She stopped. It had felt nice.
"Well Dean let's show you around camp and explain a few things." That is what they both did. They showed me around the huge camp, the beach, the Big House, the rest of the cabins. He told me about the gods and that there were two cabins for each god. One for their Greek and Roman aspects. The campers could intermingle if they wanted. It wasn't like they were enemies, he explained, but that the two groups needed their own space. He then told me of the war to come and the important people in it. He told me of the sacrifice that a hero named Percy Jackson took. That one took the longest, as his deeds were the greatest. It seemed that everyone in camp looked up to him. That everyone wanted to be a hero like him, to follow in his shadow. He told me of other heroes, such as a person named Luke, the girl Thalia, Jason, and many others. It was dinner time by the time we finished. My head was swimming by with all the information that Nico had given me.
Okay everyone here you are. Sorry that this one is more of a filler/set up. I am going to skip some years next time so it should be more action filled. Big question is should I have Natasha and Percy/Dean get together or not. Letting you know straight up that it is probably going to be impossible for them to stay together once the two halves reunite. One more thing I might have started another Percy AU, I need a nick name for Hermes that other adults can call him. Any idea's please let me know. Again thank you all!
This has been edited please let me know if I missed something!
