Chaos was sat in her eternal gardens with Artemis and Nyx. All three of them were still bleary eyed at their loss. Chaos had explained that while Tartarus was using his own life force to keep Percy trapped, that there was nothing that they could do to free him. Chaos herself was beyond all other Primordials in power, but she was still technically stuck in slumber, and just didn't have the power to do anything.

"Mother, did you feel that?" Both Nyx and Chaos shot up immediately. Artemis didn't know what was going on, but looked hopeful none the less.

"Yes I did. This is both good and bad." Chaos frowned. Artemis was quick to follow.

"What is it?" Artemis almost hissed. She needed to hear something good after all that had happened. Chaos frowned, perhaps she should not be the one to tell her, but if not her, then who? Nyx had lost a brother, Artemis had lost a lover, and she had lost a son.

"Percy has made an allegiance with Kronos. The Titan King has changed from his old ways there is no doubt about that. I would not say that he has become good, but neutral. He has broken Percy out of his captor's hands and rejuvenated him. They have fought side by side for the past couple of minutes which I suspect down there is several hours." Chaos' eyes went white as she was relaying what she saw. Nyx could feel the immortals fighting but could not see it. Chaos gasped. Even Artemis felt that one.

"He has found Yggdrasil and Baninir. And spoken for the first time in two years of Tartarus." Chaos' yes returned to their sad composure. Artemis cried. Weeks for them mourning had been two years of Percy's torture.

"I am not Perseus." Nyx said calmly but with a frown.

"My name is Armageddon." Chaos continued. "He just killed thousands of Tartarus' hellguard by raising his hand. Nyx shuddered at the power that they could all feel.

"But that means that he'll come out of Tartarus." Artemis looked up hopefully, she was uncertain in her words and they appeared as more of a question than a statement.

"Indeed. But the years of torture have changed them both. While Perseus remained solid, his thoughts anchored on only one person, Armageddon just had a pent up silent rage, a fury unseen for thousands of years. I fear that Armageddon may turn into a scourge that we will have to defeat, and from his show of power, I am unsure whether we truly can. Gaea and Tartarus were some of the strongest there were and with other Primordials they could not kill Perseus, the best they could do was hold him in Tartarus, and even so two years was nothing compared to what they should have been contained for." Chaos' eyes turned cold, Perseus would have to defeat his own inner demon to protect those he loved, but she, and only she could foresee another great sacrifice on his part being necessary.

"Nyx, have Apollo inform our demi-gods to seek out the doors of death. We need them to be ready for the day the Prince and the King return." Chaos stood as well. Nyx disappeared in a show of shadows.

"Come, Artemis, we need to speak with Odin." Chaos extended her hand. Artemis shakily stood up. And they both immediately reappeared in the throne room of Asgard's golden towers.

"Lady Chaos. It is a pleasure to see you, what might you be in my kingdom for?" Odin asked. He had just sat down on his throne.

"Lady Artemis, so nice to see you again, but so soon I fear that our business today is not one of leisure." Odin confirmed his own thoughts when he noticed Percy's presence wasn't with them.

"Chaos where is my son?" His voice was calm and collected but held a dangerous amount of power within it.

"He fought his battles and won. Did Thor not tell you of what transpired?" Chaos asked. Odin leaned back into his throne.

"He has had no chance. An occurrence had called him away before he could even return to Asgard. He mentioned it being something about hunting a Galo, though I do not know what a Galo is." Odin shrugged. Artemis felt the slightest bit of humor briefly exist in her mind.

"Perseus defeated Hydros Gaea and even Tartarus, but the malevolent being used his own life force to permanently trap your son in the pit. He has been there since the battle, but he has recently been freed from his confines and awaits himself to be freed from the pit entirely. I am sorry that you were not informed until this ordeal had nearly been finished, but as it were a great number of us were mourning the loss and could not seem to find the passages of time any interest." Chaos motioned to herself and Artemis.

"I see. I cannot condemn you for your actions, had I known I would also have been sent into sleep from my own loss but hearing that he is about to be freed has prevented that. Maybe my son did not tell me of this for that reason. I thank you, but now I need to speak to that pompous king of gods." Odin stood, his throne briefly changed from what it was used to into one much less like that of Odin's liking.

Odin noticed Artemis' eyes wander with curiosity. "Ah, so you have noticed what will become Perseus' throne? Yes, it seems that your fates have a great sense of humor as they have begun to change our thrones already to the next rulers of Asgard." Odin explained. As he moved out of the way, it became clear exactly what reflected in Perseus' life. The throne itself depicted a thunderous set of battles all encrusted within lightning bolts while the rest of the throne remained the gold of Asgard. Frigga smiled at Artemis' wide eyes as she too stood and let slide a view of her throne.

"Artemis, the fates have also decided to cater for the throne of the Queen of Asgard. It's changes have only become more rapid with the proximity of their future rulers." Frigga explained. The Queen's throne shifted from Asgardian gold into a stunning silver throne that had visages imprinted upon a crescent moon that rested above the head of the throne. Around the rest of it lied various bolts of lightning that depicted a fondness for the Queen's king.

"It's beautiful." Artemis' gasped, holding her hands to her heart subconsciously.

"I'm glad you agree, it wouldn't be fitting if you did not like your own throne." Frigga smiled. Artemis froze, "My-" She couldn't get it out, she had literally been frozen with shock. Percy really did intend to make her his own, a Queen among Gods. She couldn't process it properly.

"Odin, I must hurry our trip to Olympus. We need to speed up the demi-god who voyage across one of the continents of Midguard for they are the ones who are to open the doors to Tartarus from the outside." Chaos spoke softly but with authority that not even Odin could deny.

"As you wish Chaos." Odin stood straight before battle armor formed out of nothing but air. Artemis was still trying to force her heart down from her throat as she stared at the throne that Frigga had known from the start that would become hers. Chaos almost laughed at the shell-shocked Goddess before her before they all flashed out to Olympus.

Line Break.

Odin burst through the air and within seconds was in front of a terrified Zeus. His mere presence had ripped everyone from wherever they were and into the throne room. Apollo was the last to arrive, clutching his head after he'd told the demi-gods where to go.

"IN TARTARUS! AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO TELL ME!" Odin boomed angrily. This was a lot different from the calm collected Odin that Artemis was used to, it was evident that despite where his sons may be from, he loved them both dearly. Except for the one that defected. He'd sought to kill him himself.

"Odin, with respect, with Percy gone we had no way to communicate with Asgard. We knew that Artemis was with Lady Chaos but none of our Iris messages were going through. There was no way to reach you." Zeus told him back, only just saving his dignity. Odin backed off for the time being.

"OK, so what did you do instead? I know your ancient laws and what they prevent you from doing." Odin explained before Zeus opened his mouth once more.

"The doors of death are being voyaged to and Nico Di Angelo, the son of Hades has volunteered to go into Tartarus alone to free Perseus and take him through." Zeus explained. Odin seemed to relax at this.

"They'll never make it." Odin paced the throne room.

"Zeus, Nico hadn't even reached Tartarus' darkest parts yet, you'd better hope that Perseus can find him or he'll be lost forever. The son of Odin has broken free and travels to the doors as we speak." Chaos explained.

"He escaped the confinement that Tartarus himself set? Impossible." Zeus bellowed.

"No, he fights side by side with the Titan King who has turned a new leaf." Chaos explained.

"IMPOSSIBLE I SAID!" Zeus stood bolt at the ready. Chaos grew to twice the size of the God and plates of armor seemed to form around her. Her eyes blasted pure purple fire out of them as she took on a spectral aspect.

"DO NOT DEFY ME ZEUS!" Her voice boomed.

"IF I SAY THAT HE IS AN ALLY YOU WILL NOT BREAK THE ONCOMING PEACE AM I CLEAR!?" Chaos was the most terrifying being the Gods had ever seen. Odin just laughed, it was only like this that Chaos overcame him in power, he knew his place but not even the personification of power itself would stop him from laughing at Zeus' cowering form. Chaos quickly returned to her regular godlike state.

"The Titan King has helped Perseus every step of the way, and he will be vital for what is to come. Many of you will disagree but a new threat looms over us and I cannot defeat him." Chaos explained.

"And what threat would be so great that not even you can defeat 'him'?" Apollo asked bravely from his throne.

Chaos hesitantly looked around them all.

"Armageddon. He cannot be stopped by any single being. If he continues down his current path he will not be satisfied after he defeat Tartarus, but he will seek more bloodlust until there is nothing left and we all remain in the depths of my void." Chaos explained. That was heavy.

"Well shit." A voice called out from behind them all. There stood two more Primordials, both of equal magnificence, but between them stood an insane immortal. Galo's voice was the one that called out. Behind him stood Aether and Erebus, primordial brothers that personified Light and Dark. They both stood in full armor, identical except for the way it faced and the colors. Aether donned pure light whereas Erebus donned pure darkness.

"I may be insane lady Artemis but I also have an intelligence on par with Athena herself." Galo explained.

"Now THAT, is impossible." Athena told them with aggravation from her throne.

"It is not, and I shall provide you with sufficient evidence towards that later, for now I am offering cooperation, together we will no doubt be able to understand a solution to the impending problem." Galo told her. It was solid, and if he was lying about it she would simply kill him anyway.

"Fine, we will cooperate, but if you are stupid, I will smite you." She told him casually. Galo just shrugged like it meant nothing to him.

"What is to be done first of all?" Poseidon asked them, making himself known in the conversation.

"Firstly Perseus and Kronos must be freed from Tartarus. I had word sent to the demi-gods to make their way to Greece but with the progress the Prince and the King are making, they will not get there in time. We must aid them in any way we possibly can." Chaos explained. Apollo and Hermes fist bumped immediately.

"What was that for?" Aether asked him curiously.

"We wondered what people would start calling their badass tag team. We totally called the Prince and the King." Hermes grinned. Aether and Erebus fist bumped once Hermes had explained his.

"What was that for?" Apollo grinned, already knowing what they were going to say.

"The same thing." Erebus grinned with shadows curling around his lips.

"Oh no." Artemis grounded loudly, "NOW THERE'S TWO APOLLOS!" She almost cried. She truly did not know what would hurt her more, Percy's imprisonment or the rest of eternity with two Apollos.

Three green swirls of smoke made everyone aware of the fates arrival.

"Fuck." Ares muttered on the far side of the room. The fates had brought their cudgels and it was well known that they had on multiple occasions easily beaten the shit out of Ares.

"Relax war God, we did not come for you." One explained.

"But if you annoy us we will beat you." Another quickly added.

Zeus stood proudly and respectfully, "Ladies, to what honor do you grace us with today?" He asked curiously, adjusting his suit in the time he stood.

"You need to know just how accurate Chaos' words are Zeus. Only with the combined might of the Gods, Titans and every immortal we have available to us, can we hope to defeat Armageddon. His namesake is the truest there ever was... Unless you were to name him Apocalypse, but that's just lame." The fates explained together. So that was their grand plan, Gods, Titans and Immortals versus The Prince of Asgard.

"You believe Percy Jackson to be THAT strong?" Zeus shifted uncomfortably.

"No. Percy Jackson is extremely powerful yes, but he dispelled is rage a long time ago, he focused on the one being that anchored him to our world. Artemis." The fates explained, pointing at Artemis as they did so, she was glad that it had already been revealed or that would have been extremely awkward.

"But Armageddon thrived in the pain, the blood lust had only grown in a silent fury that has overcome him. Many factors go against you but time is not one of them. Perseus has been able to contain Armageddon's fury. Do not mistake us, Armageddon is by no means an evil being, but he will stray from his path like many, but he will inevitably reach a point that he cannot be contained, and the unbridled rage will fill him until he cannot be stopped." The fates' words were dark and true which only served to make the situation that much more dire.

"But he can be defeated in one single eventuality. When they both become too strong to be contained in one body, they will spit. They can do this now but as explained, Perseus can contain him. When the point comes, you must fight as a united brethren. Gods of Olympus, Asgard and Primordials. You will need Titans and immortals. Together you can defeat this new scourge but only with a single being leading the charge. The one who knows the risks and will still dive head first into it in order to save the one he loves." The fates explained. Many looks all went to Artemis.

"Then it is obvious what we need to do. I feel that my son already knows this much so lying to him will not do. The time is nowhere near upon us which is fortunate. We must keep things in motion for fear of directing it down a different path. For his trials he will be made the King of Asgard once he escapes his hell." Odin explained with such authority that even Chaos wanted to bow down to him.

"You would have the most dangerous being in existence governing your people?" Athena asked incredulously.

"You forget Goddess. Once you get to the very barebones of it, we are Vikings a proud warrior race, we would rather nothing more than a leader that could wipe us all out with the raise of a hand. Vikings strive to be like their lords, and Perseus will be a far better King than I ever was." Odin explained with pride.

"Well if this is all done with, I am going to go and help the demi-gods." Apollo was acting more like an adult around anything that included the immortal that had become one of his closest friends. He abruptly turned to where the fates were staring at him curiously.

"And I will be doing things that break the ancient laws." He said slowly so that they understood.

"We are not going to stop you sun God." The all told him immediately.

"Good, because I have literally only just got the sun chariot back form Hephaestus, and I'd hate to have anyone break it again." He explained with a satisfied sigh.

"You broke your sun chariot? That must be why the moon was dulling slightly." Artemis asked him.

"Yeah, Perce tried to kill the Kraken." Apollo grumbled.

"So, what does that have to-"

"He used a bow." Apollo muttered unhappily. The entire room burst into a fit of laughter. Only Perseus could try to kill a Kraken and instead of even remotely hitting anything near the water, end up shooting Apollo out of the sky. After everything was said and done, everyone left to go and attend to their duties. It was only them that Artemis realized that in her own mourning she hadn't seen any of her hunter's since it happened. She immediately flashed to where she could feel the presence of her sister, Thalia.
