Chapter 1


It has been nearly twenty years since my banishment. Twenty years of hiding and traveling around the world, strengthening my skills, sharpening my mind. I am Percy Jackson, and this is my life.

While this whole thing started with my banishment, I won't bore you all with the details. If you want, go bother the author about the details. Anyways, after my banishment, I ran into a bit of trouble with a large group of monsters. Afterward, well, I barely managed to survive and that is when I met her. Chaos, the Primordial of Creation. And that is where my story really begins. Everything before, well, it was just the prologue.

Third PoV

Percy was leaning against a tree at the edge of a clearing, bleeding heavily from wounds inflicted upon him during the battle against a small army of monsters. A woman in a galaxy and star littered, black satin dress then walked out of the forest and into the clearing, just as Percy's wounds healed.

"Hello Percy," Chaos said, an amused expression on her face. "It's been too long since we last spoke. Did you enjoy your time as a Demigod?"

"What do you mean?" Percy asked, confused. "Who are you?"

"Of course," Chaos said, placing her hand on her cheek and gaining a thoughtful expression. "How could I forget. I always wipe your memories so that you can live a new life when your previous one ends."

"What?" Percy's eyes went wide.

Chaos smiled at the demigod. "You would always return to my realm whenever you died. Along with your lover. I think the previous time was the universe that I call the 'Potter-verse.' yes, you were Harry James Potter and your lover was Hermione Jane Potter nee Granger. Before that, you were Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure and your significant other was Uzumaki Kushina the second Jinchuuriki of Kurama, the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Before that was your life as Kirigaya Kazuto or Kirito as you were known as, and your wife, Yuuki Asuna. Then your first life, which is when you and I met, was in the universe that I call the 'Natsuverse.' You were known as Emiya Shirou and your significant other was Tohsaka Rin. You have always been special. A child of Prophecy and my favorite Mortal."

Chaos looked at him in his sea-green eyes.

"I have watched you for five lifetimes," she said. "And you never cease to amaze me."

She then placed a hand on his cheek and her eyes flashed before she said, "There. Your memories of your previous lives will begin to return to you over the course of a four year period for each life."

"So it'll take about sixteen years to regain all of my memories," Percy stated. "Thanks."

"You are welcome, Percy Jackson," Chaos replied. "Now then, you get one gift. What do you want, Percy?"

Percy frowned as he got to his feet, and made a fist.

"Bring back my friends Luke Castellan, Charles Beckendorf, Silena Beauregard, Bianca di Angelo, and Zoe Nightshade," Percy told the Primordial. "I have a feeling that I'll need them in the future."

Chaos just smiled and snapped her fingers. "There. It is done."

"Where are they?" Percy asked. "If they are at the places they died, then Luke will not survive for long as he died on Olympus, and Beckendorf died at sea. And Zoe died on Mount Othrys. And Bianca-"

"Enough Percy," Chaos interrupted him. "They are all in Olympia, Washington. I used the mist to make it seem like they lived there their entire lives. They are also the ages they should be after their deaths with the exception of Zoe who will be twenty-one years old and Bianca who will be eighteen years old. Understand?"

Percy nodded.

"Good," the Primordial said with a smile. "Now then, I will send them a message, telling them what they all missed. Afterward, you may do whatever you want. Whether you want to go abroad for sixteen or so years so that you may train as you remember your past lives and sharpen those skills that you will gain as well as those powers. Or if you want to live the quiet life after fighting in two wars just over a year apart, you can settle down in Olympia."

Percy nodded and Chaos sent his reborn friends a message. Afterwards, Chaos turned to Percy and asked, "Have you made a decision, Mr. Jackson?"

"Bet on it," Percy said.

20 years later, Artemis PoV

My Hunters and I were following a pack of werewolves when we heard the sounds of metal clanging.

"Who would be doing this out here?" a Hunter asked.

"No ordinary person," I stated. I then knocked an arrow and slowly crept towards the sound. I hid behind a tree, and barely looked around it, and saw two men sparring with each other. One had blond hair, wearing a blue jacket with a pair of jeans and tennis shoes, wielding a sword that was icy-blue in color, and had a rose on the crossguard. The other had dark raven hair, wearing a black jacket with dark pants and tennis shoes. He was wielding a pitch-black sword that has a black hilt connected to a hand guard that drops down on the right side.

Artemis motioned to her Hunters to move forwards a bit and they did so, hiding behind trees so that they could stay hidden from the two swordsmen.

"Is that you've got?" I heard one of the men say. "Cause I can do this all night."

The other man chuckled.

"We'll see who's still laughing when you are on your back with my blade at your throat," the raven-haired male said. I could practically hear the smirk the dark-haired boy had.

"Come on and face me, you damned swordsman," the blond said. "Unless, of course, you are scared of hurting me because of my wife."

My eyes widened though when I saw the dark-haired man look directly at the trees me and my Hunters were hiding behind.

"We've got company Eugeo," I heard him say to his companion.

"What is it Kirito?" the blond man, Eugeo, asked immediately.

"A group of at least fifty," the dark-haired man, Kirito, stated, his pitch-black sword disappearing. "Immortals."

My eyes widened. 'How does he know?' I thought.

"Monsters?" Eugeo asked, preparing his sword.

"Worse," Kirito said, bringing out a tri-pronged kunai. "Hunters."

With that word, Kirito threw the kunai. It sailed past my tree, getting me to release a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"This'll be all over," Kirito began appearing in a dark flash, getting looks of fear and awe from me and my Hunters. "In a flash." he finished. And just like that, Kirito summoned dozens of tri-pronged kunai out of thin air and without a single physical movement, shot the kunai all over the area.

'Who was this mortal? How can he do this?' I thought.

"Who are you?" I managed to ask.

Kirito smirked. A smirk that felt familiar to me.

"Who am I?" Kirito repeated. "That's simple, Arty. I'm a Hero."

He then vanished in a flash and knocked out all of my Hunters with ease. He reappeared in front of me and whispered, "Do not come here again. You will lose all of your Hunters the next time I see you. You can bet on it." He nodded towards Eugeo who summoned golden portals around them and chains came out and wrapped me up in a cocoon.

'Why do I feel weak?' I suddenly thought. And it was the truth. I could feel my strength, my power, leave me as I was wrapped up in these chains.

"Those chains are like the net your brother Hephaestus used on Ares," Percy said. "But they also weaken you to the point of unconsciousness. Goodbye, Arty, I hope for both our sakes we never see each other again."

Those were the last words I heard as my vision went dark with my last thought being, 'How does he know me? Who is he?'

'Kirito' PoV

"Let's go home," Kirito turned back to Eugeo. "Luke."

"Yeah, Perce," Luke said, his eyes shining. "Let's get home."
