Filius chaos

4 - Banished to Tartarus

Percy

I did not bat an eye when they spoke to me in that manner. "Percy, they asked you a question" the anger in the coach's voice was evident and I was surprised. Taking advantage of my surprise, someone immediately took to Olympus where I was put in chains and put before the council.

Looking around, I saw the gods and goddesses except for Hades and Hestia looking angry at me. even my own father looked furious.

Just then Zeus said, "Today, the court is in session for the crimes Percy Jackson has done during the War, for siding with Gaea". I looked around in disbelief that despite showing my loyalty to the Gods and my fellow campers, they accused me doing something that I would never dream of. Especially my father. As the Court started, Annabeth began to read out the list of crimes I was most certainly innocent of.

Zeus 's voice "The court has come to a decision. We will banish Percy Jackson to the depths of Tartarus to suffer for eternity". I had already been in Tartarus so the news did not shock me but what shocked me the most and broke my loyalty to Olympus once and for all was my father's voice "I disinherit you as my son."

Then, I heard two voices in my head 'Perseus, brace yourself. We believe that you are innocent'. I looked around again to see Hades and Hestia nodding discreetly and was too much in pain to reply them. I braced myself to endure Tartarus till the day I die.

Chaos

I and Sek looked on as we saw the mortal demigods accusing our son of things he was innocent of. When the Olympians save for Hades and Hestia voted that he be killed, especially his de-facto father, I told Tartarus to swallow him immediately and bring him back to us. I could feel Sek's anger rising and rushed to calm her down before she could shake the Universe.

Perseus

I closed my eyes when the hole opened ready to fall back into Tartarus. I felt air around me and it seemed cool. I was confused as I knew that such kind of air did not exist in Tartarus and opened my eyes.

Instead of the red hot land and monsters roaming around as I had seen earlier, I saw a place that looked like earth but with a little evolution apparent.

I looked around in disbelief and absorbed the surroundings to the point that I didn't recognise the stranger who approached me. I was taken out from the surroundings with a fake cough.

To my surprise, I saw Tartarus himself smiling at me and before I could get a hold of my sword, I fainted.
