"Perseus Jackson, for aiding Gaea and Kronos in the wars we are banishing you to Tartarus. Goodbye!"

Cedmi

Planet Zircon

I was walking through the streets of Ion city, the capital city of Zircon, the planet I created. There was a military coup by the general of the army and I am assassinating him. 

He was gonna give a speech to the public on 'if you betray me I will have your head' and 'nobody can go against me'.

I was on the roof of a small building and I notched an arrow in my bow and released it.

It hit his leg and he fell. I teleported to him and he screamed at me, "Who are you! Guards kill him."

With a single twirl of my fingers, they fell down, unconscious. I walked to where he was and unsheathed my sword, God Slayer, and held it at his neck. Most of the people who knew the sword gasped. 

He asked me, sweating with fear and paling at the sight of the sword, "Wh-where did you g-get that sword from?". I just glared at him and pulled down my hood. Now everyone gasped. He told me, "lo-lord, to what do I owe this pleasure." I replied, "Oh nothing, just wanted to kill you.

Well, I guess you know what you've done, so, blah blah blah I arrest you for blah blah blah, and your sentence is instant death." And then I sliced his head off. I looked back to see everyone bowing to me. 

After telling them not to bow, I heard a girl ask her mother, "Mom, why were we bowing?"

Her mother then replied, "He is lord Cedmi, son of Chaos. He is our creator."

I looked at the girl and walked towards her. The mother apologized to me, "Sorry if I offended you sir. Please don't hurt my daughter." I looked at the girl and smiled.

Right at that time, a council meeting was summoned. I ran my hand through my  hair, sighed, and then teleported to right outside the council room.

The seraphim were standing behind me, waiting for orders or something. This was probably all for an execution or something.

I opened the doors and walked in.

Artemis

Mount Olympus

Apollo was screaming something at me. 

Athena was nearly crying, shouting at father that he was an asshole, and the rest of the Olympians had their eyes wide open and jaws touching the floor.

I was surprised. I tried to get a few words out of my mouth but they came out all raspy and distorted. 

Balance

Primordial Council Room

As Cedmi entered with his cloak flowing backward and crown on his head, I just couldn't help but admire him, he was tall, handsome with his blue eyes and brown hair, his jawline was strong, and muscles well defined.

He was the type of guy girls would swoon over. He was scarred. He had killed so many people, remembering all their faces, each time losing a part of him.

The only people who helped him were us, his family, and friends who stood in the council room. 

What I didn't know was that we all were going to hurt him so much now, killing him more as loyalty is his fatal flaw.

A while back, Chaos started, "Now onto the important stuff, we are here to discuss Cedmi's punishment." To say I was shocked was an understatement. "What evidence do you have that he committed such crimes, Mother!", Nyx yelled. 

"Well Nyx, the members of the Seraphim, Adrian, and Emmeline have given us proof."

The seraphim? I'm pretty sure Adrian might have done this as he was only a stuck-up pompous brat and wanted all the attention to himself, but Emmeline? She was Cedmi's girlfriend, how could she betray him, but I for a fact knew she had cheated on him with Adrian.

Cedmi knew about this and acted as if he does not know about it. He was acting colder and colder every day. "So, he will be banished. " Order ordered. Right at that time, Cedmi entered the room.

Cedmi

Primordial Council Room

My cold facade wasn't going to last. I was chained and taken to the front of my parents' thrones. 

My mother was muttering, or what I thought was muttering, "This will teach you to never betray us."

Chronos and Ananke showed me all of the bad times I had. Every moment of my past that they knew would break me.

They carved words into my body. My clothes were torn.

But at last, everyone parted ways for the members of the seraphim. Each of them came forward and punched me or kicked me. David, who was my best friend kicked me so hard my ribs broke.

Then came Adrian. He punched me and broke my nose. Then finally it was Emmeline, I knew she wasn't going to come and help me or do anything for me.
She just slapped me so hard that my jaw got dislocated. She then went back to Adrian and kissed him.

All of them were looking at me to be surprised or start crying. But no, I started to laugh.

I was in so much pain, my leg was twisted, my right shoulder and jaw were dislocated, and my nose and many other bones were broken.

I was laughing so hard people looked at me like I was mad. I subdued my bloodlust and looked at them.

I sighed and looked at the fates. They just nodded. My parents disowned me cutting off all ties to me except blood. Perfect.

"Goodbye, the people I called my family. You all will learn of the truth very soon. And when you do, you will never find me. And I swear this on your name mother, I will never shed a drop of blood in your name again."
