Chapter 12



Chapter 12

Percy POV

I appeared in the council room of the primordials as they sat there with intense and raw power rolling off in waves. "I see you have completed the tasks we gave you, if we ignore that you revealed yourself to a certain someone" said Nyx with a glare.

"It's not like I could help it" I replied back while returning the glare. "So, are you going to make me a god now? Otherwise I won't have enough time to train."

"Yeah, about that.. you now hold the essence of two different primordials, as well as the various blessings and abilities you already have. Such power is immense and your body is barely keeping itself from being torn apart have. Your only option would be to reincarnate into a god strong enough to handle this power before training you" said Chronus as he stood up and started to walk up to me. "But that's going to take years and we don't have that much time!" I said as I coughed up blood all of a sudden with large specks of gold in it.

I looked at my blood confused to why it was mixed with golden blood. "What's wrong with my blood?"

"You have too much godly power inside you as I said before, which is turning your blood golden faster than I though, and once it turns fully into the blood of the gods you will die since your mortal body won't be able to handle it. The reason you coughed up blood earlier is because your body is trying to get the power out of its system" said Chronus as he summoned a chair for me.

I sat down as my head started to get dizzy. "How long do I have till I die and reincarnate? What will happen to the world? Chaos will destroy it before I'll be back!" I coughed up more blood which had even more gold in it now.

"I know that it will take a while that's why I will speed up the time flow around so that instead of eight years it will take you only eight months" said Chronus as my vision started to get blurry.

"It seems we don't have much time left before your mortal body destroys itself. We should get ready since we will have to turn you into a primordial while you are reincarnating. So that when you are reborn you will be reborn as a true primordial and have enough power to rival Chaos."

Chronus opened up a swirling portal of sand as the other primordials got up and went through their own summoned portals. "Let us begin, the faster we finish this the more time you will have to train after this. Lets just hope it will be enough."

With those words Chronus helped me get up as my body began to paralyze and the last thing I saw was the swirling pool of sand before I lost my vision.

3rd POV

After Percy's disappearance, Chaos's forces attacked a few days later. Both of the camps had been destroyed after being overwhelmed by Chaos by the immense number of her armies. The number of campers had dropped to almost one third of what was there originally.

The hunters and the amazons were in a bit of a better shape but still lost a great amount of people. Olympus was slowly being overtaken as the gods grew weaker by day.

The world that we once knew was now a living hell. The mortals had started their own war, most likely influenced by ours. Earth, which was once full of life was now an endless wasteland of corpses and waste. Oceans, which were once full of life and had clear and beautiful waters were now black bodies of water filled with blood and bones

The people who had survived were either enslaved by Chaos's army or went into hiding. The technology that the mortals once had and were so proud of had been wiped out leaving nothing behind. The world had once again returned to the stone age.

Life as we knew it had ended, people kept dying and the new generation of mortals possessed no information about anything that they had achieved throughout time. Not even one scrap of paper remained with information but if only we knew that everything was about to change soon.

(7 years later)/Artemis POV

"Retreat! We must regroup or we will all die!" I shouted to the few of the hunters that were still alive.

I watched as another one of my hunters was overwhelmed and ripped apart by the ghouls. I looked away as tears kept running down my cheeks like an over flooded river. I notched two arrows as I saw another hunter struggling. I released the arrows at the two ghouls behind her and flashed to intercept another.

"Stay near me, we must regroup with the others! I shouted over the cries from the ghouls. The huntress nodded as she sliced the throat of a ghoul.

I searched the battlefield which was more like a massacre now. Bodies lay everywhere and the ground that was once full of life was now ran red from all the blood that had been spilled on it.

We fought through an endless army of ghouls as we finally managed to regroup somehow. "Try to hold the back for a bit longer I need to gather some strength before I can teleport us away" I said as I closed my eyes and concentrated on my powers.

I felt a faint resonance of my power which used to overflow with raw energy. I reached towards it and felt it faintly rush through me as I gather it and flashed us away with one line in my head. "Wherever you are Percy, please hurry we need you!"

(1 month later)/3rd POV

The primordials stood around a glowing purple flame. They had been giving energy to Percy as he was reincarnating so that when he was reborn he could rival Chaos in power.

"It is almost time" said Chronus whose form was flickering. "After he is reborn I'm afraid that I will fade since I was already fading before all this happened, I shall have him inherit my power and be the next Lord of Time."

"There must be another way, we can't lose you brother, especially that we will have to fight back now" replied Aether with sadness in his voice.

"Don't worry brother we will meet again, after all, we all fade at some point" replied Chronus as his body was now almost transparent. "Now lets finish what we started brother."

As the primordials continued to give energy, the purple flame started to glow brighter and bigger. "It is time, prepare yourselves or he will absorb all of your power with his rebirth" said Nyx as she stepped back, followed by the other primordials except Chronus.

The flame kept growing and growing before the whole room was engulfed in a bright light and all you could see was a bright purple light.

When the light cleared Percy lay in the middle with Chronus nowhere to be found. His hair was darker than before with streaks of white in it. His white wings were longer and looked more magnificent than ever before. However what surprised everyone was that the arm that he sacrificed to the Phoenix was engulfed in raging purple flames.

"It can't be, it's not possible" said Erebus as he stared at Percy's hand. "But it's exactly as the prophecy said" replied Nyx as she walked up to Percy to examine him more closely. However before she could Percy opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes it was a sight to behold. His eyes kept changing color every few seconds. At first they were sea-green, then black, blue, red, and gold followed by many others.

"Where am I?" said Percy as he got up and examined himself, before stopping at his arm. "What's wrong with my arm?" asked Percy as he looked at Nyx.

Nyx looked into Percy's eyes before starting to speak. "There is a prophecy that existed since this world was first born from Chaos. It was said that one day a being would be born with a fraction of power from a being that was even greater than Chaos. The being would have part of his body engulfed in the flames of life and death."

Percy looked at Nyx dumbfoundedly, "Are you serious or are you just messing with me?"

"What I said is the truth. We didn't believe it all these years but in our whole lives we have never seen a flame of that color which only leaves it to that option" said Nyx. Before Percy could say anything else the three fates flashed in.

They looked worn out and older than before. "We must hurry!" said one of the fates. "We must give you your titles" said one of the other fates. "Perseus Jackson, you are the primordial of elements, beasts, life, death, destruction, and time."

"Time?" said Percy confused. I thought Chronus had that title, and speaking of him where is he?"

"Chronus has faded and passed on his title and power on to you" replied Aether with a sad expression on his face. "Oh" was all Percy managed to say.

"We must hurry, you need to train and we are running out of time as we speak" said one of the fates.

Percy looked at them with determination, "then we should start don't you think?"

Line Break/Percy POV

I had to admit I had way more power than before. Being primordial of elements was a big advantage since I could control everything. In addition I could create anything from nothing by gathering the atoms in the air.

I've been training for about two months now and my training was now almost complete and it was almost time to put chaos back into his place and free this world from chaos.

My arm which was covered in purple flames was a great part of my fighting style now. I had developed a new fighting style where I would attack with my sword or any other weapon I had until I was close enough to the opponent. Then I would grab them with my arm which could either kill anything or bring them back to life.

However, the thing about me bringing people back to life, is that it took a great amount of energy and it didn't heal them more than instantly fatal wounds. So, if their head was cut off it would reconnect, but if they were dealt many smaller wounds and I revived them they would die again almost instantly of blood loss and I could only bring back a person back to life once.

Well enough of my achievements, I wouldn't wanna give away all my tricks to you because then it won't be as exciting for you later.

I grabbed Chasm as I walked to the Arena to practice my sword fighting for the last time before I had to leave and get the army together.

When I arrived there Lancer was already slashing at dummies. "Hey Lancer, lets have a duel" I called out to him. I watched as he stopped and looked into my direction. "Hey Percy and sure I was getting tired of these dummies anyways, they're not as fun."

After I became a primordial and started to train Lancer left my shadow to get stronger himself.

As we got ready I pulled out Riptide and uncapped it. If you're wondering about the flames on my arm, I have a special bracelet on when I don't fight to control the power just incase I don't kill someone by touching them.

We circled each other before Lancer lunged at me with his spear. I sidestepped and sent a fast kick at his chest which he dodged by rolling away. This time I lunged as I slashed with my swords which he parried with his spear, but I predicted this and kicked his legs which sent him falling to the ground.

What I didn't expect though was him falling through a shadow he made in the ground. "Not bad" I said as I tried to find out where he was. "You're not bad yourself" I heard his voice around me.

Before I had time to react Lancer's spear flew out of the ground and pierced my shoulder. I grabbed my shoulder in pain and tried to pull out the spear, but before i could it dissolved into shadows.

"Didn't think you would be able to hurt me Lancer, seems that you have improved greatly." I felt a small tingle on my back as I rolled to the side to see Lancer with his spear pointing at the exact place where I was just standing. I stood up and lunged at Lancer who charged at me.

I grinned as I teleported right behind him and drove my swords into both of his shoulders. He let out a cry of pain as I gathered the air and pushed him into the wall with the swords pinning him to the wall. "Seems like I won again" I said as I walked up to him and took out the swords.

I summoned some water and began to heal him. "You're good Percy, you think you could beat Chaos at your level?"

"I don't know, Chaos is strong, the original of the primordial and I've only trained for two months" I said as i finished up healing Lancer.

As we were getting ready to leave the Arena a vortex appeared and Nyx stepped out of it. "It is almost time to begin, come with me there is one more thing we must do." As she said that she stepped back into the portal. "Well seems like its about to begin" I said before stepping through the vortex.

Sorry, that it was kinda short and hope you enjoyed it! Until next time!
