Asgard

Percy knew that it was getting stronger. It was a part of him and seeing as he'd recently become as strong as a number of Primordial Gods, it wouldn't be long before it came to fruition. It was already on talking terms and had explicated brief control over Perseus before.

'I'm bored.' It told him.

"You're always bored." Percy replied casually. He was getting himself ready for the battle at camp Jupiter. He'd arrive a day early so that he could ensure that everyone was ready. Of course he could just assume his ultimate power but he'd be confined away from the demi-Gods if anyone realized truly how powerful he was.

'Nyx is approaching by the way.' Percy's other aspect informed him.

Percy suddenly looked up into the mirror that adorned his bathroom wall. Standing lazily against the doorframe was Nyx herself.

"You put on a good show Percy, I'm impressed. All of that sheer power. It was very... Alluring." Nyx almost swayed from the door in her slightly swooning state.

"With respect Lady Nyx, I'm already spoken for." Percy straightened up. He donned his armor and started to place himself around his homestead, making sure that he was ready for the battle.

"Yes well, getting back to the point. You put on a good show Percy. Your fight with Galo didn't do so well for Gaea. It currently stands at Gaea alongside Tartarus and Hydros. Chaos cannot fight in this battle but we have you, it is evident that from the way you threw around Galo with no effort at all, you are clearly as powerful as a number of us. My husband put sixty percent of his power into Galo, and Aether did the same. Percy you demolished an immortal who was a fifth stronger than a Primordial." Nyx started to explain.

'Galo, what a shit name.' Percy's Greek side chimed in. Percy expertly ignored him.

"Your aspect is growing fast and he raises a solid point, though I believe that Galo's true name is something far removed, I think it starts with an A." Nyx mused to herself before getting back to Percy's alternate aspect, "He shall need a name soon." Nyx commented casually.

"You can feel the aspect?" Percy was shocked. Was she that powerful?

"Indeed. I suspect that it is only because of how powerful you are Percy. You need a name that will reflect upon what he will be symbolized for. He is very dissimilar to you though. He has a burning desire for destruction. He is what your Viking nature should be but for some reason, you have come out as the gentler being while he is the one who yearns to fight and destroy. How about, Armageddon?" Nyx smiled to herself.

'I like it. Tell her she's hot.' Armageddon said without missing a beat.

"I CAN hear you Armageddon." Nyx scowled.

'Well shit.'

"Indeed. Now hush before I separate you two and strike one of you down." Nyx grinned.

'Scary lady... She's turning me on to no small amount.' He laughed so wickedly that Percy was certain he was highly amused by the entire exchange.

"Back to the point at hand. Your show of power helped me to convince my husband to join the fight. Aether has pledged a number of troops to our cause and Hemera has offered her daughter's assistance." That was great news. Not only was camp Jupiter going to be fighting against the army at full strength, they had Nyx, Percy, Hemera's daughter and a thousand of Aether's soldiers. It should help balance things out.

"One last thing before we go Percy." There was a certain sadness in her eyes.

"Gaea, Tartarus and Hydros will be there fighting. I will also be there but as the ancient laws state, neither I nor any of them can engage each other in combat." Nyx frowned awaiting Percy's reaction.

"Fan fucking tastic. So it's up to me and Armageddon to defeat THREE Primordial Gods. Great." Percy quipped. He knew that he would soon be forced to show his true power. A thought suddenly struck him.

"Come, maybe we can even the balance. There is one God that is stronger than all of the rest, apart from Chaos herself of course." Percy chuckled.

"What? No, that's not possible, who could you claim to be such a God?" Nyx stuttered. Percy walked over to the back wall of his home where they were standing above a beautiful waterfall overlooking Asgard itself. Inside the shining walls of Valhalla there was a magnificent golden tower.

"Odin. The king of Asgard. I do not know whether he will truly want to fight though. My brother Thor, was sired through a union with Gaea herself, but it's worth a shot." Percy stroked the small bristles of his chin. Perhaps if he survived this entire ordeal then he'd try his hand at sporting a beard. A long majestic beard that strung out a strong raven color like his hair.

"Excellent. We still have time, we can go now. Except, your kingdom is not a place that we can go uninvited is it?" Nyx frowned once again. Before Percy could answer they felt the presence of another extremely strong immortal entering the hunter's camp.

'Woah, that feels like fun!' Armageddon started laughing. So it was true, he just wanted to fight for the rest of his life. Great, now Percy had to share a mind with a psychopath.

"That would be Hemera's daughter. I forget her name but we can easily go and find out." Nyx led the way out of Percy's tent and slowly fell into a puddle of shadows. Percy followed suit, turning into his winged iron man mode before quickly flowing down the ridge he was perched on. Artemis was stood off to one side watching the exchange between Thalia and the immortal.

"Lady Nyx." The woman in white armor kneeled.

"Daughter of Hemera, whose name is?" Nyx prompted.

"Selene milady." She stood. She was beautiful as daughters of Goddesses went, but she was clearly as deadly as Artemis when she needed to be.

'Isn't Selene a Titaness of the Moon?' Armageddon voiced his opinions. He wans't exactly wrong, Selene WAS a Titaness of the Moon, it just wasn't THIS Selene.

'Wrong Selene' Nyx's voice was heard clearly inside Percy and Armageddon's shared mental space before she put her actual voice into use to speak to the daughter of Hemera.

"Well Selene, we are not going to the camp just yet. Percy has had an idea to gain more allies." Nyx explained. Artemis' interest picked up. She walked over to the group. This was a group of full immortals and the allied power of them was growing ridiculously fast.

"I'm taking us to Asgard. If my father can help, then we will be a lot better off." Percy explained before his eyes wandered to his fiancé.

"Lady Artemis, would you accompany me on this journey?" He asked her, being careful of his words in front of the hunters.

"Of course Percy." She remained calm but secretly she was excited beyond belief. In her entire existence she's seen a great deal of this world and the realms surrounding it, but Asgard was something new entirely.

"Are you all ready? The Bifröst can be disorientating on the first go around." Percy warned. They all nodded. Thalia resumed command of the hunters and gave everyone chores to do while Artemis was away.

"Heimdallr, it is I, Percy Jackson, I request access to Valhalla!" Percy shouted into the sky. A moment later they were seemingly engulfed in a rainbow and Artemis was forced to shut her eyes because of it. When they arrived they noticed that the place made Olympus look like a dirty sidewalk. The place was magnificent even more so than the view from Percy's room.

Standing in the center of the path that led to the golden city was a man dressed in heavy golden armor, holding a horn between his hands.

"Perseus Jackson. I have awaited the day that I receive your summons. Though I regret to inform you that it is not your day to return, so what business might you seek with your father? If I find your cause to be worthy, I shall take you straight to him." Heimdallr explained calmly.

"Heimdallr, it is an honour. Meet Nyx. The Primordial Goddess of night. Selene, the daughter of Hemera. And Lady Artemis, the Goddess of the hunt. I seek aid for a battle on earth. Gaea is waging war against Olympus and has massed considerable forces. I fear that if we do not receive aid, then we will be killed, every last one of us." Percy explained. Heimdallr looked stoic before a huge gruff man with dark red hair and a great beard approached them.

"Brother, what business do you have today? Heimdallr, I shall takeover from here." Artemis put two and two together and realized that this must be Thor. He didn't look anything like the Marvel character, she was disappointed.

"Thor, it has been too long. I need aid for a battle on Midguard. Your mother threatens Olympus and if we cannot hold her off, we shall all surely die." Percy couldn't have looked any more different from his brother. Every aspect of them was different apart from the fact that they were both obviously powerful, though Percy was undoubtedly stronger.

"I am aware brother. Heimdallr has allowed me to watch over your journey. Explain to father, introduce your vast titles and achievements and prove that you're worthy of leading the army." Thor waved his hand and the bridge they had been walking on morphed and the next minute they were walking a short distance towards the golden towers themselves.

"I hate to ask you this, but when we meet my father, please kneel. He is a king, and more powerful than all apart from Chaos." Percy explained seriously.

They walked as a unit towards two thrones in the middle of the grand hall.

"Allfather." Percy kneeled in front of his father.

"Rise Perseus. This may not be the day you walk these halls to become their king, but these are still your lands, and I am still your father. You and your friends do not need to kneel before me." Odin's smile spread warmth throughout the grand halls. Odin gave Artemis a knowing look out of his uncovered eye. It was as if to say that one day she would be sitting by Percy's side in this kingdom.

"Yes father. I came on business as you know. I am in need of aid. One of the battles is about to take place. I fight a war against the earth mother, the rivers of the lands and hell itself. I have aid from the Gods, but they are no Vikings. Lend me a thousand good men and we will set the record of who were truly the best warriors to have lived." Percy exclaimed. Artemis could see a whole different side of him that had previously been covered. There was a clear likeness from him to his father and it was evident that he was going to be a natural leader.

"Is that you talking Perseus? Or is it the Greek blood that has started to fill the spaces that you were lacking in being a warrior? A true Viking Perseus. I am aware that these are not qualities that you will be judged on when I decide your worthiness of the throne, but it still has a fierce attitude." Odin stood, power seemed to shroud him completely. He walked closer and Artemis felt the hairs on her arms pitch straight. His mere presence was intimidating, even to a God, but Percy didn't even flinch.

"Speak with me, Armageddon." Odin commanded. Artemis wondered how he'd known about it already, but she remembered the old Norse legends. Odin had an all-seeing eye.

Percy's form flickered and he hunched slightly, clearly trying to fight off the remaining transformation, but he glowed a brilliant black. It seemed that Percy's Greek form had been given inherited blood, his Greek aspect was created purely from Chaos herself. Where Percy had long wavy black hair, Armageddon had midnight purples streaks in his hair and obsidian black eyes as dark as volcanic rock.

"It is an honour, Allfather." Armageddon bowed with respect.

"You are my son just as much as he is, but your blood means that he can only rule this kingdom when he is in his Norse aspect. I suspect that you understand as much. You were birthed through the mixture of Chaos' power and Perseus'. Yes, you would do very well to complete my judgment. We shall see how well you lead your soldiers into battle, then we shall talk my son. Armageddon nodded and Percy changed back into his Norse aspect.

"Thank you father. I fight for your honor, I will leave as soon as our soldiers are prepped." Percy bowed once again.

"Of course, ah in the mean time, would you allow me to speak with you directly Lady Artemis?" Odin turned directly to the Goddess of the hunt. She was a little bit shocked at first.

"Of course my lord." She managed after she got over her surprise. Frigg, Odin's wife, and the queen of Asgard came over and immediately had a connection with Nyx.

"Lady Nyx, I am Frigg, the queen of Asgard. I believe that we are both quite good with creation. Please, come with me, I would love to show you the flowing gardens of Yggdrasil if you would let me?" She asked the Primordial Goddess.

"Lady of the heavens. I would love that." She nodded respectfully. She couldn't believe how polite everyone here was, especially for a race of Vikings.

"Well then, I guess you're more militaristic as opposed to walking around gardens. Let's go and see to it that my soldiers are prepared." Percy said casually as he turned to Selene.

"Of course Lord." Selene said at once.

"What? Why did-"

"You are but a demi-god on Earth yet you have risen to be the champion of Chaos herself and more powerful than a number of the Primordial Gods themselves. Firstly I respect power and strength, secondly you are a prince, the heir to an entire realm. Thirdly we are in the realm that you are going to become the king of, therefore you are a lord at least." Selene told him like it was common knowledge. Percy considered this for a moment.

"If you call me lord again I'll force you to go on a date with Apollo." Percy grinned at the horrified expression Selene had donned.

Feeling triumphant, Percy high-tailed it down to the barracks of the golden city with Selene in tow.

Line Break.

"I should probably point out that this isn't for decoration." Odin pointed to his eye patch, "No, it is my all seeing eye. I am omnipotent just as much as Lady Chaos is. I have seen what my son feels for you. I believe that once he rises above the true challenges that I had given him, he will ask for your hand in marriage. Your Olympian Gods will not like it and will try their hardest to prevent it, some of them will at least. But he will fight until his dying breath to have that which means the most to him in this universe." Odin explained slowly, he didn't want to freak her out or anything.

"That is a lot to take in my lord." Artemis started to fan her face. The thought of becoming Percy's wife had sent her senses into over drive.

Odin waved it off, "I know my own son, Artemis. I promise you that he'd never have found what he has with you in any other woman. He knows this in his own heart as well. What you have to be careful of is his other aspect. That one will cause trouble. Ah, I had best return you though, my son will want to get to battle as soon as possible. Thor might be the renowned warrior, but Perseus is just as fierce and as of lately, much more powerful. I, unlike your Gods, was aware of his battle in Alaska. Ask him, he will show you." Odin smiled once again before leading them back towards the main barracks where he knew Perseus would no doubt be.

What Artemis didn't expect to find was her boyfriend in a fight with thirty Vikings. Selene was leaning against a doorway inspecting her nails, bored of what was going on.

"Perseus, do you really need to canonize them? They are our best, they've already proven themselves worthy of fighting in your war, you do not need to brutalize them any further." Odin moaned. It was only then that Artemis noticed that none of them were even close to landing a single hit on him. Percy was fighting with a spear and was beating the tar out of all of them.

"Sorry father, you can never be too sure. Plus, we're Vikings, this is what we do." Percy shrugged. That was the first time Artemis had ever heard Percy calling himself a Viking.

"Are we ready to depart Percy?" Nyx rounded a corner with Odin's wife. "Yes, of course. I shall tell the men." Percy responded before catching his breath. Artemis only then seemed to notice that he was somewhat shirtless with many small beads of sweat starting to drip down his perfectly chiseled body.

"Today we fight against Gods and monsters. Today we show them that mankind, demi-Gods and Olympus are not available for being taken over. Today I shall show you all the meaning of first in last out, and in turn we will show the Romans what true power is. I would not have you all gloat about it but we are Vikings, and we show no mercy to our enemies. When the fighting begins you will be on the right flank of the battlefield, placed in front of the Roman demi-Gods. They are but teenagers and young adults, you are battle hardened warriors that have achieved Valhalla. The left flank will be covered by a similar sized group of immortal Greek soldiers. They are warriors of light, so do not stare too long, for you will surely be blinded by their armors. Warriors, when I summon you it will be straight down to business. You have two days men." Percy received a ferocious round of cheers and applause. Some even started shouting in appraise for their future king.

"Come on girls, we need to get home." Percy smiled as he led them all back to Heimdallr who would take them back to earth.
