Sorry, Olympian spawns. They promised me no punishment after death; and only peace, plus I heard that Hades was siding with the Titans."

"You are lying." Annabeth spoke.

"No, I am not. Ask your gods. Now, I may rest in peace."

And, then he vanished into dust, his body broke apart.

"Now how will we go back?"

"We could take those wings," I thought. ,"Good idea."

We took those wings, to fly back to Long Island, and then hailed a cab to Half-Blood Hill.

This quest was a waste of time.

-OO-

Perseus was enjoying the final days before the war. In a few days, the final moments of the second Titanomachy were going to come upon me.

In two days, I am going to reveal myself to the camp, and then go to the camps of my soldiers, and brethren. Plus, I wanted to talk about some punishments for the Olympians, and Titan-hood for Zoe.

Right now, I was on top of Olympus. The gods had called us campers, for a very 'important' meeting. They wanted to talk about the war, and some strategies.

Ting, the bell of the elevator of the Empire State building rang, as we reached the entrance of the house of the gods.

Bright light reflected off the golden mansions and temples of the gods, and seared into the eyes of -The so called strongest demi-gods- us.

Present here were Annabeth, me, Clarisse, Luke, and Will. Luke is supposed to take the Titan allied demi-gods to Mount Othrys tonight.

As a bright hue enveloped my retina, I closed my eyes, not being much of a day person, being the Titan embodiment of Darkness.

Beaming ahead, I stepped foot on enemy territory, conversing with myself to destroy this city, right here, right now.

But I kept myself back, and walked behind my centaur nephew. As Chiron walked ahead, and toured us around the golden city, he told us many facts, and the palaces of many gods.

But I noticed something strange. The house of Hestia was dark, as if nobody had been in there for a long time.

I should check it out after some time. As Chiron led us to the Olympian throne room, a room full of hated immortals, we washed ashore the stream that went from Greece, to every place Mount Olympus shifts.

My basic plan, shift Mount Othrys back to its original territory, Greece.

The throne room doors opened with a loud bang, just to see all the gods; including Hestia, sitting in a U.

The gods looked troubled, why shouldn't they be, they are back on war with the mighty Titans. No Metis this time to stop me.

"Welcome, Demi-gods."

We bowed, "You are the strongest of your race, and have been called here for a special discussion."

Athena continued, "Demi-gods, we have a special tip from someone, a spy in the Titan ranks, who has told us that, Perseus, the Titan of Darkness and Death, the strongest of them, is going to give one-fourth of his power to Kronos, and one-fourth to Typhoon, that means he will be weaker. Hence, with a few connections, two Primordials are going to be helping us."

Oh fuck. The fates actually hate me.

In two bright lights, two Primordials, the son and daughter of my Aunt Nyx and Uncle Erebus, flashed inside the building.

Aither, and Hemera. My cousins.

Aither is the Primordial of Light, and Upper Air, while Hemera, his wife, is the Primordial of Day.

The pre-descendants of Apollo.

"Milord, and Milady." We, and the Olympians recited.

"Rise Olympians, and mortals." Aither said.

"We have brought some details about the Titans, and would like to talk to just you gods. I would like your children to go out." Aither ordered, but politely.

We were flashed out of the room, as we sat down at the steps of the gigantic room.

"What will we do now? Why can't we listen?" the always-curious daughter of Athena pouted. I chuckled.

"Come on Annie, they are Primordials, immortals before the Titans, their secrets cannot, and should not be heard by us."

I know, I was a hypocrite, I was secretly listening to their conversation inside, using the shadows.

"Zeus, the Titans are planning to release Typhoon, and then march to Olympus, on Gaia. They want to distract you, for an easy win." I gritted my teeth.

"WHAT? How will we win, Milord?"

"Hemera will take care of Typhoon, but the main problem will be Perseus. He is much stronger than us, we may not be able to defeat him, even with trickery. He is too smart for us," I smirked from the shadows.

"-I do have a plan though," he said looking at the loss of Hope, "we shall trap him in a celestial bronze cage. When we are fighting him, someone, from the back, preferably Hermes, being the god of Thieves, should trap him in the cage we give you tomorrow. But, Briares, the only left Hekatonkheires is siding with them. So, they have many stronger allies. I shall try to persuade some possible allies, but other than that, we cannot do more. Now, call the demi-gods in."

I came back to my side of the wall, "-I think we should sneak,"

We were flashed inside, as Annabeth's voice faded, "-in"

"Demi-gods, I hope it wasn't a long wait, but we have some news."

"We have strategized a possible survival plan. We want all the demi-gods to stay and protect the gates of Olympus, while we defend it from Typhoon. Then, we shall come to your aid. Poseidon will not be participating in coming events, as Oceanus is on his tail, hence we need to secure all possible allies. Go see that everybody is not going to betray us. Take Will with you, he can detect lies. You may go now."

-OO-

I immediately flashed to the Titan throne room, and called a meeting.

"Why have you called this meeting, Perseus?" asked the Titan of Gravity.

"Brothers, and sisters. This war has just gotten more difficult, and now, I cannot give my energy to you Kronos, and to Typhoon."

"Why, brother?" asked Kronos, worriedly.

"The Primordials have joined the war."

Just this sentence, sentenced Chaos to the council of immortals. Rumbling around, all started talking about their chances, and as Oceanus was not here, the wisest of us could not give his opinion.

"Brethren. Stop this at once!" I yelled.

"Are you fucking mad, Perseus? This war is now much beyond us, the Primordials, beings much stronger than us -3 Titans could barely take on one Primordial- have joined this war."

"Yes, it is quite worrisome for our side. But, do not fret... much. I have a few favours; I will go call them right now. You try to get more allies. Meeting dismissed."

Before anybody could answer, I flashed to the mansion of Night, the house of the oldest child of Chaos, Nyx.

My vision was disrupted for a second, but quickly adapted to the shadows. I was their favourite Nephew, and let's just say, more than favourite for Aunt Nyx.

"Aunt Nyx, Hello."

I spoke to the empty void of darkness.

In a dark whoosh, Aunt Nyx entered in lingerie. I sighed; the Primordial of Lust is always trying to seduce me.

"Come on, Aunt. I told you No so many times." I spoke in an exasperated tone.

She pouted, and snapped, as her dress changed back to the normal, dark pyjamas.

"Fine, Perseus. But, just this time. I will make you have sex with me, at least once. Now, what are you here for?"

"Can you call Uncle Erebus here too."

"Sure."

In an instant Uncle Erebus teleported inside the room.

"Hello buddy." He fist-bumped me, which I returned. He sat on the soft sofa, with a big sigh, and asked. "Why have you called us, Perseus."

"As you know, Uncle and Aunt," though, at being called Aunt, Nyx pouted, on which I chuckled. "-We are having the second Titan war. But, your children, Aither and Hemera have joined in, and are supporting the gods."

"I fucking told them not too." Whispered Erebus.

"So, I would like to call in your help, nothing much, but to keep the days we fight, only at night, so I can perform to my full potential."

"That is ok. But, as you are our favourite, and a child to... at least to me," he said looking at Aunt Nyx. "-I shall grant you your wish. And, ask some Primordials to also assist you. But, what about your mother?"

"As you know, she is still asleep. And, she stopped contact with us, after the first war. She has given birth to a new race of Giants, and well, she has never talked to us since."

"I see. Well, no worries. I shall ask my brothers and sisters. And, you should know, Darkness and Night support the Titans." At that, I smiled.

"Thank you, now I must go. Need to call in my favour with Uncle Tartarus. Bye."

"Bye, Perseus" they recited. Then I flashed to the throne room of the owner of the deepest part of my mother.

There lay the purplish body of the greatest swordsman the world has ever seen.

He sat on his throne, as if knowing and waiting for me to come.

"Hello, Perseus."

"Hello, Uncle Tartarus."

"What can I do for you, Perseus?"

"I would like to cash in my favour."

"Ok, and what would you like me to do?"

"I would like your support in this war. Aither and Hemera are supporting the gods, and are calling other Primordials to their side. And, I want you to help us."

"Yes, I know that. They had just come to visit."

"And, what did you say?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"That, I will not support the gods, and I will support you." A sigh escaped my lips, one that I did not know was there.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"No problem, Perseus."

"How shall I contact you?"

"You just chant my name, and I shall come to the battleground. Now go, I have a lot of paperwork to do."

"Thank you, Uncle." And then I flashed away to the upper world.

The time for revelation, and the time for taking the traitorous demi-gods was now.

As I walked in classy steps, the camp became quiet.

"Perseus. Where were you?"

"Tartarus."

"How did you come out? Why did you come first at camp? Why not Olympus?" said Annabeth.

"This is why."

I snapped my fingers, as the shadows mixed with the atmosphere, and started to darken the sky. Not even Aither and Hemera could break through this darkness.

My form changed to that of my normal one. The body of-age-23, Vantablack eyes. Black-messy hair, my skin changed to its normal pale shade.

I stopped my motion, and stood still. My form flickering to that of a grim reaper.

A creepy smirk escaped my lips, "Come on now. Lieutenant of Kronos, come forward, and bring all our allies."

All in all, 16 people came forward. Luke, 13 unclaimed children, a child of Hermes, and a child of Demeter.

All were nervous, but came towards me. Nobody made a sound, and many were looking at the traitors in shock.

Shadows enveloped them, and they were gone. Transported to the throne room of the Titans.

-OO-

Annabeth was paralysed. Her brother, and her new friend, both were traitors. Her new friend was Olympus's strongest enemy. The Perseus.

The hunters were suddenly teleported in the middle of the large dome.

Artemis, while looking around, caught the eyes of Perseus. Silver, and Black stood transfixed at each other.

The king of Grim reaper's gave a creepy smile to the Huntress.

"Artemis."

"Perseus."

There was silence for a few minutes, before he spoke again.

"Now."

Her 3 most trusted hunters, including her best friend, came out. They walked to Perseus's side.

"Z...Zoe. You too?"

"Artemis, I was wrong to betray the Titans. They were the best rulers, Mother Gaia flourished under their rule. I made a mistake once, not again. Plus, what girlfriend would I be, If I didn't support my boyfriend."

This shocked Artemis. Zoe was clutching onto Perseus. It broke her heart; Zoe knew of her crush on him.

"Just know, you may have some Primordials. Weak Primordials. Most of the elder Primordials are supporting us. Best of luck... not."

What? An immortal can be childish. He flashed away, taking the Titan-sided hunters to the Othrian throne room.

-OO-

It had been a few days since he collected the demi-gods from the camp.

No new demi-gods were showing up there.

Today was the day where some of the allies were being ascended to Titan hood.

He was sitting on his throne. We permanently set up on Mount Tamaulipas. Othrys is being rebuilt there. The throne room would be set up on Olympus. Once the Olympian throne room is demolished.

Though, their original thrones were present, and he was sitting on it, after so much time.

Kronos yelled from his call, "Let the ascension to Titan hood begin. Zoe Nightshade, daughter of Atlas. Please come in the middle."

Zoe clutched Perseus's hand, but then went ahead. I was sitting at my mortal height.

The Titans, sent an energy ball towards her, as she screamed in pain.

Her physical features started to change. Her eyes started to darken, her muscles looked more visible, though her lean body stayed the same.

"Rise, Zoe, Titaness of Hunting, Endurance and Beauty."

After a moment, she rose up, smiling at Perseus. After Kronos's speech, she ran to her lover, and hugged him tightly.

"Hades, my son, Co-Titan of the Underworld, and the Co-Titan of the Dead. Rise."

I could immediately feel more power radiating from Hades, his senses and godly abilities were heightened.

"Rise, Hestia. Titaness of Family, Hearth and Peace."

-OO-

Hestia stood up, morphed into her 18-year-old form, and came to my side.

Eros, the Primordial of Love and Procreation, talked to me about multiple lovers. A polymerous relationship. If the girls were okay with that, I was too.

"Now, the meeting has been dismissed."

We flashed away, as we went into the mortal world. Our army was setting up places, and we were going to help.
