Percy Jackson Is Betrayed and Goes Back in Time as a Son of Chaos Fanfiction
Chapter 5: Chapter 5
It's just another Summer Solstice in Olympus. Percy Jackson, now 19, was at the throne room with Chiron, Annabeth, and the other campers.
The throne room never changed after the last solstice they attended. And it's last year. The thrones were still the same, forming a semi-circle with the gods sitting on their respected thrones. Except one.
Now is the third year of Apollo's punishment. Helios had been driving the sun chariot temporarily while Apollo was in exile. There have been no quests and although that may benefit the safety of the demigods, it does not mean that they don't feel restless. News about monster activities increasing yet again has reached them in Camp Half-Blood and they couldn't move without the accurate guidance of the oracles, as stupid it may sound since oracles can be as confusing as a disabled GPS.
Percy was snapped out of his thoughts when Zeus began. "Now that we are here –" He was suddenly cut off by the air pressure that built up inside the throne room. Every one of them reached for their weapons, Percy slipping his hand in his pocket to touch his pen. Their gazes landed on the corner of the room where the air pressure built some swirling mass.
The gods and Chiron, knowing who or what that would be, tensed.
"Relax, children," a booming, gruff male voice echoed across the throne room and it jerked some of Percy's nerves. Whatever or whoever was in that swirling mass, he sure is powerful. "I have not come here to start a war that will soon take place anyway, so you can calm down."
That put Percy in an immediate distress. A war that will soon take place anyway... oh gods, no, Percy thought numbly, not another war. He caught Annabeth's eyes and he knew she's thinking the same.
It was Athena who recovered quickly and warily asked. "Who are you? And what do you mean by a war that will soon take place?"
"Ah! Athena. I have witnessed your wisdom and abilities from the day you were born. A magnificent child, you are." Athena was clearly flattered but held her head high in pride. Percy glanced at Annabeth who had a smile graced on her face and he knew she's proud of her mother. "Well, I am Chaos. Creator of all things that surrounds your universe and the universe itself."
Percy nearly dropped his jaw if only it was not hinged to his own bones. But their mouths hung open in disbelief. Chaos? THE Lord Chaos? The void Chaos? What is Lord Chaos doing here?
As if not aware of their shocks, Chaos continued, "You see, when my grandson and my daughter Earth rose, after each other the dome of the other Protogenoi had opened. We were released and finally able to go wherever we wanted. However, some of the Protogenoi and I chose not to come near this universe as we know that, ah, you Olympians wouldn't like that and so we stayed away. Forgive me for not appearing before you in an appropriate form. If I did, the Earth will collapse, not going to handle my presence much."
Percy saw the gods rising and dropping on their knees, bowing low in front of the primordial god. They followed the gods' example, not wanting to be blasted for being disrespectful.
"Oh, please rise and take your seat. Where's Apollo? My dear enthusiastic Apollo should be here," Chaos inquired in quite... cheery tone.
Zeus rose from kneeling, apparently not comfortable to be on his knees, and tried hard not to grimace. "Apollo has been... doing some things in the mortal world, my Lord."
"As a punishment, I take it?" Chaos asked in a knowing manner. Zeus' face turned red and Percy thought the thunder god would explode that moment. Before he could retort, however, Chaos chuckled. "As much as I don't want to interfere the way you handle things, my dear Lord of the Sky. But I think it is better if the Olympians are all complete. Can you do it for me?"
Somehow, Percy knew that the question was not an 'I would like to ask you' but a 'Do it or else' behind that carefree voice and he could see that Zeus knew that very well. Even Ares, the arrogant god of war, was clearly afraid of the Protogenos of the Void.
Zeus raised his lightning bolt. The lightning zapped at the center and within the smoke stood a young guy, blinking his blue eyes.
Apollo must have felt the pressure and he widened his eyes at the swirling mass. He bowed low, already recognizing the presence of Chaos without being told. "Lord Chaos, what brought you here?" he asked in a child-like tone.
Ares snorted while Aphrodite giggled at Apollo's misery. Artemis regarded them coldly.
"Ah, Apollo. I cannot help you with your... misery as I am not allowed to intervene with the business of Lord Zeus. It is not good. However, we do really need our oracles back now that the world is again in danger. Perhaps my beloved Lord Zeus can alter it?"
Percy wasn't a moron to catch some ridiculous hint from Chaos' request. I cannot help Apollo since the King for now is Zeus, however, I can make this arrogant King of the gods step on his pride by making a simple, urgent, and innocent request in front of an audience and ta-da! He can't defy it without looking like a bad Dad and ruin his image. Oh wow, he has a good image in the first place, take note of the sarcasm.
Zeus gritted his teeth as he turned Apollo back to his old several feet form. Apollo looked at his body before his megawatt grin resurfaced. "Yes! Back to the old times. Wait, I can feel a haiku coming –"
"Brother," Artemis icily reprimanded.
Apollo seemed to remember where he was and he scrambled to his throne and sat. "I'm sorry Lord Chaos, you can continue."
Chaos chuckled at Apollo's antics before he quieted and then talked in a serious voice. "As you heard or – as some point – seen, the monsters activities has increased. However, that's not the only problem." Chaos paused dramatically before continuing, "They are led by my son, Erebus."
Just like that and it stunned all of them. All of them heard of Erebus, of course. Tartarus and Gaia's brother, and the protogenos god of darkness.
"What do you mean by that, Lord Chaos?" Athena tried to clarify.
"My son, Erebus, has escaped his dome of darkness within Tartarus, my dear Athena. My daughter, Nyx, had helped him rise during the second Gigantomachy. He had not shown his self fully because he believed it was my daughter Earth's time. And now, it is his."
The gods had gone pale. "Why are you telling this to us, Lord Chaos? You had never interfered when Gaia attempted to rise," Zeus managed to say.
The swirling mass shifted. "Erebus is much more dangerous, dear Lord Zeus. We know very well that he has the darkest goal among all Protogenoi. Much darker than Nyx and Kronos combined. However, my daughter and I sensed that he has other agenda."
Athena obviously caught a clue. "Daughter?"
The creator laughed a bit. "My youngest daughter who was not known but one of the Protogenoi, dear Wisdom goddess. She chose to serve as my Commander of an army of so many universes."
Ares, of all people expected to react, perked up at the mention of the army. "Army? Cool. I want to meet this daughter of yours, Lord Chaos."
The swirling mass slowed a little as Chaos spoke slowly. "She will arrive shortly after I leave. But I must warn you all. She never liked to be here if not because of her brother. Her powers are equivalent with mine in addition to her own power over life force. She will use her human form to avoid ruing the planet. It's strictly not advisable to trigger her anger while her stay here in Earth."
The gods clearly didn't like the sound of the warning. They apparently don't want another Chaos minding their businesses. But if it's against another Primordial god then they will need as many help as they could get. And having Chaos and his daughter on their side is a huge benefit and advantage.
"What's her name?" Hermes asked in curiosity.
The swirling mass swirled faster that it made Percy feeling dizziness. Seriously, this vortex should slow down. "She goes by the modern name, Celestine, when she is in her human form. But she's known to you as Omega."
"End..." Percy heard Annabeth mumble in translation. When he turned to her she looked as pale as a paper.
Nico, who was there as the representative of the Hades' cabin, grimaced. "I don't like the sound of that."
Despite the discomfort of the name, Zeus said, "thank you for the, lending hand, Lord Chaos. We will expect her."
Chaos hummed in approval. "As long as you heed my approval, you will be alright. I will be off now." Once again the gods kneeled low followed by the demigods.. The air pressure dissipated and when Percy looked up, the vortex was gone.
