The Broken Hero

Chapter VIII

Due to the ideas of InspiredTheDreams I have decided to turn my story in a new direction than I originally planned. I hope that you will all like the new thought process I now have for this story. Because of this I changed the first paragraph from the last chapter ever so slightly. I will not tell you which part, just yet because I fear that will give away too much. Thank you for all who have read and voted. A big thank you for InspiredTheDreams. I hope that you like what I will do with your idea. Me no Rick Riordan.

If you remember I had skipped five hundred years with Destruction's POV. 

Four Hundred Years In Past

Third Person POV

Chaos was getting worried. It had been one hundred years since he had rescued Perseus Jackson. During that time all Perseus had done was slept. Since Perseus hadn't woken up in all that time he had to keep the boy as healthy as he could with IVs and exercise. Finally, when Chaos thought that he would never wake Perseus did.

"Perseus Jackson." Percy flinched at Chaos's voice, but looked at the man he recognized as the man who had talked to him in his cell. 

"How are you feeling Perseus?" Percy again flinched at the sound. Chaos was confused why was the boy flinching. He had saved him and hadn't harmed him. He decided to look into the boy's head and saw the reason. 

"I am sorry Percy, I did not realize calling you by your full name hurt you so." It was rightfully so after all his enemies had called him by his full name, all the people that had tormented him. Chaos felt Percy accept his apology and sense his hesitant manner. Percy believed all of this was not true. That he was still in his old cell, that this was all an illusion. Chaos was going to have a tough time with convincing him that this was all true. He decided first things first was to get Percy back into fighting condition. Percy was going to have to fight Destruction and save the Universe. 

"Let me re introduce myself. I am Chaos the creator of the Universe. I have saved you from the torment of my brother Destruction. He captured you one hundred and thirty two years ago after you defeated the Titan's and Gaea for the final time, putting them to sleep for good. He made you thing that you were in your old cell being tormented by your old captors for thirty two years. I finally convinced you to come with me and you have been resting for the past hundred years to recoup from all the torture you put up with from Destruction. You see before the I made the Universe there was myself and my brother Destruction. We were great friends, until I decided I wanted to make the Universe. Destruction grew angry at this, for he didn't want to share me. It was one of those things, how do you Earthlings put it, if I can't have you than no one can. We battled and I was able to scatter him.  Now Destruction has come back and is seeking revenge against me. When he first started to reform I ignored him and for this I am sorry. I knew that he would recruit the Titans and Gaea to try and take over Earth, you see he needs the power from Earth to fully reawaken. I also knew that one of my great great grandchildren would have to battle to stop them from doing so. That was you Percy, the reason you went through all the pain and hardship was because I ignored my brother's escape instead of immediately scattering him again. I regret my actions, but cannot go back and fix them. This is where you come back in. I cannot fight my brother again without us erasing the Universe. I need you to save you family, the Earth, and the Universe from Destruction by permanently putting him back to sleep. This will most likely cost you your life, for this I am truly sorry. You will, in the end, sacrifice yourself for everyone in the Universe." Chaos could feel that Percy understood the information he had just been given, but still did not believe that this was real. 

"We will now start your training." Percy sat up and nodded. He could understand that. Chaos tilted his head. 

"Let's start with an examination to make sure you are in proper order to start." Percy's clothes disappeared to his surprise, it didn't really embarrass him, since much of the time he had been tortured he had been naked. Chaos looked him over to see that there were many scars.
