Legacies: Primordial Awakening (Legacies/PJO/HoO)

12- A New Quest

Percy and Jason were arguing with Kendra in a very one sided argument.

"You tried to kill the entire demigod community as we know it." Percy said angrily.

"Why should we trust you?" Jason chimed in.

Kendra just rolled her eyes.

Vince bounced off the tree he had been leaning on enjoying the conversation in front of him.

"How long has this been going on?" I asked stepping up next to him.

"About ten minutes." Vince said holding out his hand. "It's nice to finally meet you in person."

"You as well, Chaos." I said to him.

"Please, call me Vince."

I shrugged as we stepped up to the group.

"That's enough." I said to them.

Percy and Jason looked at me.

"I understand your anger, but I think we have much bigger problems at hand." I said to them.

"Like what?" Percy asked confused.

"Cha- Vince." I corrected myself. "Doesn't have his powers."

"You're the literal child of Chaos, how do you just not have powers." Jason said.

"When I refused to take the throne, my father stripped my powers from me. He tied its essence with his throne and hid them away from the rest of the council until someday I fulfilled my destiny." Vince said to the group.

"So, where do we even start?" Hope asked.

"Chaos, told only one person the secret of the throne." Vince said.

"He told me the area, not the exact location. Too much of a risk to send a primordial into Tartarus with so much information." I spoke.

"Where is it? Rome, Greece, Asgard?" Landon asked confused.

"We're standing above it." I said to them.

Percy's face paled. "How? The labyrinth, it was destroyed."

"It's not Daedalus's Labyrinth." Vince said. "It's my fathers. Who left us with no way in."

Olivia face suddenly lit up.

"We were chosen for a reason as Primordials but not because of our character traits but because of who we are. What if, there's an entrance to the Labyrinth for each of our origins. One in Asgard, One in Salvatore, and one in." Olivia paused. "Never mind."

My mind pondered.

"That wouldn't make sense, because if there was one for the Greeks, the entrance should be here." Percy said. "At Zeus's fist."

"Any ideas?" I asked the God in my head.

"Only one." He replied. "You're not going to like it."

I winced. "Do it."

I lurched forward as Chronos took control of my body.

"Achilles." Hope asked. "Are you okay?"

I nodded as I held my stomach before I fell backwards onto the hard grass. Only it wasn't hard at all and I sunk right through the floor and onto the ground before.

"Where are we?" I asked as I guided my hand across the hard stone walls. Torches lit the way as I walked. A cold breeze blew over the room.

"We're in the Chamber of Chaos." Chronos said as I entered a large chamber. A dark cloaked man sat with his head hanging down. His cloak was littered with stars and galaxy's, and his sunken old eyes looked on the verge of dying any second.

"Ah, Chronos." The man said in a raspy voice. "My old friend, how are you."

"Our plan is unfolding, Chaos. We lack information." Chronos said to him.

"Have you found my son?" Chaos asked with hope.

Chronos nodded. "Yes, he is ready to accept who he is."

Chaos suddenly whipped to his feet with new vigor revealing some sort of cage behind him, the black throne stood calm, a small vial was tied to the arm rest as a swirling purple energy moved inside of it. On the outside of the cage three key holes shimmered.

"Three keys to reclaim the throne.
One shall be hidden in a World of Gold
Another one found in a World of Old.
The third will be right under your nose.
Law and Order shall come to pass.
A world reborn, one to last."

Then Chaos disappeared and I opened my eyes still standing in place.

"What happened?" I asked panting.

"Nothing." Olivia said confused. "Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

I wiped the sweat from my face as color rushed back to my skin.

"I think I did." I said to them.

"What did you see?" Vince asked crossing his arms.

"I saw Chaos, and his throne. Located somewhere in this labyrinth. I think Olivia was right. I think there's three entrances to the maze." I said to them.

"What are you talking about?" Kendra asked confused.

"Chaos's throne and his essence. It's locked in some sort of cage Chaos made. It's opened with three keys. He. . . Uh. He started talking in short sentences, some of them rhymed."

"He gave you a prophecy." Percy said to me. "What did he say exactly?"

I looked around the group before I spoke. "Three keys to reclaim the throne.
One shall be hidden in a World of Gold
Another one found in a World of Old.
The third will be right under your nose.
Law and Order shall come to pass.
A world reborn, one to last."

"I hate prophecies. Why can't they just speak normal." Percy said rubbing the back of his head.

"World of Old." Hope said thinking.

I rubbed my eyes. "It's getting late and I need to nurse a god like headache, so I think we should get some rest. We have a couple days to figure this prophecy out." I said to them.

"We're going to head back to Salvatore. See if we can figure anything out. I think you should come too." Hope said looking right at me.

I looked at Percy and Jason.

"Don't worry, we'll handle everything around here. Hopefully, we can figure something out and get Vince and Kendra settled in."

"If you don't mind." I said as the others left just leaving me, Hope, Landon, and Olivia in the clearing. "I'd like to meet my daughter before we head out."
