Percy Jackson, Betrayed
Found A New Dad
Chaos opened a portal behind him and stepped through. Since it seemed to lead away from Earth, Percy followed. He had no plans to ever return.
On the other side of the portal was a small village. It looked similar to Camp Jupiter. But the place was eerily quiet, only interrupted by the occasional bird call. Percy felt that he might not be able to get used to this.
"This is a little pocket dimension I created. It is where I bring demigods who have been abandoned. Much like you. They are strengthened, trained, and sent on missions. I have built an army, out of view of the all others except the inhabitants of this place. I call it Asteria," Chaos said.
Asteria, huh? Seemed nice enough, but rather empty. There couldn't possibly be this many abandonded demigods, could there? If so, the gods were definitely crueler than the Titans, and made Percy wonder if he should have helped in the first place.
"Come with me to my office, child. We have much to discuss."
====================
"I have been watching you for quite some time. You have saved the world twice, amongst other accomplishments. You are the greatest hero I have ever seen," Chaos said.
"Then why did the gods abandon me? They act like it was Ryan who did all that, when it was really me!" Percy replied.
"I was wondering when you would ask that. The gods have been convinced otherwise. It is the work of Gaea and Tartarus. They invade the gods dreams, alter their memories, make them believe you are worthless. It was the only way those wicked children of mine could think to get back at you. They probably never imagined I would intervene. And now, I have a proposition for you. Having you as the commander of my army would be wonderful. I would enhance your already incredible powers, and bathe you in the Styx so you will be almost unkillable. What do you say?"
Percy nodded his head in astonishment. The Creator of everything had called him the best hero he had ever seen. And this offer was too good to pass up. Become the commander of the best army ever? Heck yes!
"And, before you go, there is something else I would like to ask you. It is an offer I make to all who I bring here. How would you feel if I... adopted you?" Chaos asked.
Notes
