Chapter 2: The Beginning

Previously...

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, a dude with sunglasses appeared, making Percy jump.

"Suppp broooo????" was the first thing he said before turning to the primordials. "So this the kid that jumps around and saved world twice, huh?"

What the hell? Was Percy's thoughts. Who the heck is this guy?

"Percy," said Gaia. "We'd like you to meet Chaos, the creator of the universe, the first Primordial deity."

***

"That's me!!" said Chaos jumping around.

Percy was confused. If you don't understand why, you have the same problem Chaos has. I mean, Chaos was acting like a teenager with hormones!

'Why is the creator of the universe so... retarded?' Thought Percy.

"Right, now let's get to the point!" Chaos's face changed. He looked more serious than Zeus when he said he wanted Percy dead and trust me, Zeus wasn't kidding.

Percy was too afraid to speak. He just nodded his head.

"You must be wondering why you are here," said Chaos. "Well there are more than a few reasons but the one you need to know right now and the most important reason- or maybe the second most important reason- is that you are here to train. Now that I think about it, it's probably the third most important reason, but never mind that.

I understand that you are trying to put some things from your past behind you, staying here will also benefit you that way."

"Train for what?" Asked Percy. "And what's the other reason that could be the most important reason I am here?"

"Don't worry about the other reason for now, but you are here to train for war Percy."

"War?" Percy thought out loud.

"Yes child, war." This time it was Gaia. "Even though Nyx and I gained control of our kalόs side, Tartarus still hasn't. He is trying to awaken Chronus too. If that happens, they would be unstoppable!"

"There's only two of them right? So I don't understand why you are worrying since there are three of you and of course, Lord Chaos."

"You don't understand Percy," input Nyx. "When two Primordials combine their kakόs power, it would even over-power our father's own power."

Percy, being the clueless person her is, said one of the cleverest thing in his life, "that's bad, right?"

"Not bad," came the smooth voice of Ouranos. But before Percy could even be relieved the slightest, Ouranos finished off his sentence. "Worse. A lot worse than bad."

This Ouranos guy, god I should say, was mind-confusing Percy. You can't blame the poor Seaweed Brain though; who would say something so disastrous in such a serene tone?

"Um... then it's very bad!" gulped Percy.

"No, even worse." Ouranos again.

Then Chaos, back to his old self, "kid have you never seen a thesaurus before? Just look up one of the most evil sounding word and times it by, let's say, 200,000. It should be something like that."

Noticing that this conversation's going nowhere, Percy decided to move on. "So... When do I start my training?"

"No, no, no kid. Chill!" Said Chaos. "Don't get ahead of yourself."

"What now?"

"Well first things first, I don't just want to train you, I need you to lead my army as well."

"Army?"

"Yup, my Chaos army."

"Well I am sorry but I am not really a leader type of guy, you know?" said Percy

"Oh stop being modest Perseus, if it weren't for your leading skills, you would've lost the titan war, the giant war and my kakόs side would've still been in control," Gaia inserted.

"Well..." started Percy.

"You get to be immortal," added Nyx.

Percy thought really hard about this option. "Well..."

"Then it's decided!" said Chaos enthusiastically, I have found myself a new commander!"

"I didn't say yes yet-"

"Okay lets go," Chaos cut him off. "Before I start training you, I need to give you my blessing. With the power you have now, you won't last 3 seconds out in the universe."

"What do you mean universe?" A curious Percy asked.

"Earth is not the only planet with life forms."

"Wait then where am I right now? Which planet?" asked Percy.

"Chaos Palace in the planet called, Celestia. The first planet I created."

"How many-" Percy wasn't done with his question but Chaos cut him off straight away.

"Enough with the questions already... let's get on with the training." They ditched Nyx, Gaia, and Ouranos and started walking.

They probably walked for about 5minutes but it felt like at least 20 minutes for Percy since they were walking in a white space which can even be described as void. The white-void-like-place had no end, no beginning, no nothing!

"Can't you just flash us or teleport us or do whatever you do? Asked Percy. "because this is starting to get a little tiring."

"What's the fun in that?" retorted Chaos. "Plus you're gonna need to know what the place looks like coz you are gonna be training here for a long time. You need to explore the whole planet Percy."

"If the whole planet is like this, I have explored it already." Said Percy

"Just wait, you will see. Plus, you can't flash from here anyway."

"See what? More white space?"

"Do you never stop asking questions?"

That shut Percy up.

After another couple of minutes of walking, Chaos stopped walking. "Why did we stop?"

Then a 20 foot door from nowhere opened slowly. You wouldn't have been able to tell the door opened if it wasn't for colours that were on the other side of the door.

Percy was expecting to be taken somewhere like the throne room, but he was taken outside of the palace instead, or what looked like an outside. The place was like a field but you probably wouldn't really call it a field in Planet Celestia.

As he stepped through the doors, he was shocked by the beautiful scenery. There was a river going across the ground. I was just admiring the smoothness and calmness of the river when I spotted three figures already standing there, the three primordial that was with him earlier.

'How did they get here before me and Chaos?' Percy thought. 'Didn't Chaos and I leave before they did? And I thought Chaos said you couldn't flash away from the white space.'

Percy was seriously confused. When Percy looked at the Lord of creation for an explanation, he was trying really hard to hold in laughter. It was at that moment he realized, he's been played by Chaos, tricked into walking for so long.

Chaos, who couldn't hold in the laughter any more, burst out laughing. "You fell for it, haha! I was only joking when I said you couldn't flash away!"

"What was the point of walking for so long, if you could've just flashed us here?"

"Just felt like it." Said Chaos, with an evil grin.

Percy was really annoyed, but he wasn't stupid enough to get angry at the primordial in particular. True, Chronus' and Tartarus' kakόs power put together outweighs Chaos' Kalόs power, but that doesn't change the fact that he is still the strongest primordial alive, and Percy knew that very well. He heard a lot of myths and if they were all true, he would be dead in no time.

"Haha, you got me there! I totally fell for it!" said Percy sarcastically. "Now shall we get on with the training?"

"Alright, take a dip in the river." Replied Chaos, almost before Percy even finished speaking.

"What?!"

"He said," began the creepy Ouranos, "'Alrght, take a dip in the river.'"

"What's so special about that river?" asked Percy, not remembering a river to do with Chaos in the myths.

"That, my boy," inserted Nyx, "is the River Chaos."

"The first river, the first source water in the universe." Added Gaia.

"That's a big thing, right?" Percy the idiot asked.

"Very" Said Chaos.

"Oh..." was all Percy could come up with.

"Okay now jump in to the water." Said Chaos.

"I don't know if that's a good idea," replied Percy. "I mean the last river I took a dip on, almost killed me."

Talking about river Styx, Percy remembered Annabeth. Nico had told him that he needed to think of something that makes him want to stay mortal. He thought about Annabeth. She was the most important reason he wanted to stay mortal, and that was when they were sixteen. Now she meant more than anything for him. It was his fault she was no more.

'No it isn't,' he told himself. 'I shouldn't blame myself. Annabeth wouldn't have wanted that.'

He forced himself back to present. They were all staring at him like they were waiting for his reply.

"What?" he asked sheepishly.

"Weren't you listening child?" asked Ouranos.

"Sorry got a little distracted."

"I was saying," began Chaos. "That this river isn't like the Styx. You won't feel any pain without my permission. So right here and now, I give you permission to enter River Chaos. Now are you going to swim or not?"

"What does this river do?"

"Well basically I am going to give you my blessing but right now you are too weak. So I need you to be stronger to give my blessing to you. The river is basically like the Styx, except it makes you even stronger and you won't have a weak spot."

"Cool, I am in."

"Then Jump already!!"

"Okay, okay!" and I jumped.

Percy felt nice to be in water. It was warm and chilling. He felt like he could stay in there forever. It reminded him of the beach in Long Island, where Percy and Annabeth often went for a picnic.

"You don't want to stay in there for too long, by the way," called out Chaos. If you stay in there for too long, it would be too much for you to handle and you will disintegrate."

'Oh Crap!' was all Percy could think of.

***

Percy was in the throne room with Chaos. The room was at least 60 feet tall, when they entered. Now it was shrunken down to 14 ft. tall room. You couldn't really describe the room. It was absolute perfection. The only word one might use to describe it is, majestic, but that wouldn't cut it. It was at least a million times better than majestic, no exaggeration.

"Do you, Perseus Jackson, accept the blessing of Chaos, the creator of the universe?" asked Chaos.

Percy winced at the mention of his full first name. "Yes, I do."

Did I mention that Percy is super strong now, since he took a dip in the River Chaos? He is strong than Zeus by far, but still nothing compared to Chaos. As soon as Percy was blessed, he became even stronger, perhaps stronger than most of the primordial.

"Percy," said Chaos. "You are now the second most powerful being after me."

"Say swear!" blurted out Percy.

"Swear, unless you count the some of the other primordial's kakόs power. But you are still stronger than some of the primordial's kalόs power.

"Cool!"

"Now Percy, come with me. This matter is rather important. You will be my first commander; you are going to need an army to lead. I can't let people know about this army, because you will be targeted. That means you can't choose anyone that's living, at least not until the living are aware of it. You have to choose an army of dead."

"What like Nico's skeletal army?"

"No, but dead people with real bodies."

"You mean I can bring back Annabeth?"

"One second, let me check." He closed his eyes for a couple of seconds and then opened again.

"I am sorry Percy, it is against the ancient law to bring a great hero like her back to life."

"But didn't you create the laws? Can't you change it?"

"Well Percy, I am going to tell you something even my children aren't aware of. You see, when people say I was the first primordial. Well, that's not exactly true. I had a father. His name was... Void; the darkness."
