Percy POV:

Shit!

Was he waiting for us? How did he know we were coming? I thought Order had become to weak to interfere. Was it a bluff? I had to warn Lady Chaos!

"Fuck, fuck, fuckety, fuck!" I said.

"Percy, language!" Zoe remarked.

"Seriously! Look at the situation we are stuck in!" I shouted.

"We can deal with the monsters, don't forget we are Primordials now, but you will have to deal with him, when we are done we will come and help you." Artemis said while unsheathing her newly acquired chaos platinum hunting knifes.

Zoe brought out her bow, and focused her power into it. She let the string go and instead of arrows, it looked like she had just shot stars the constellations onto the army of monsters.

The arrows took care of the first and second line of monsters, but the rest were running towards us. I turned towards the two Hunters and they nodded.

I pulled my hood up and became invisible, I started running towards Tartarus at full speed. While I was running I tried to help the girls by killing some monsters, without using to much of my energy.

My sword left a line of monster dust behind me. As I got closer to the Palace I stopped killing monsters, I didn't want Tartarus to see that someone was already at the entrance of his Palace.

I decided that it would be best if I climbed, the less I got noticed the better. I reached the top of the right wing tower, Tartarus had is Throne in the central one. If I wanted to surprise him I had to approach him from behind.

I ran across the perimeter of his palace, as I did I couldn't help but notice the horrifying things that the building contained. Every nook and cranny seemed to be covered in blood splatters, bones and decaying meat was everywhere. You could see chains and torture devices attached to all the walls.

I reached the bottom of the central tower and noticed that I couldn't climb the walls because they were made of pure Tartarus steel, there was physically no grip.

I couldn't fly because it would have made to much noise, that meant I had to enter it. I activated my hidden blade and entered the tower.

Nothing.

No one.

Why would he leave the central tower empty?

Was he so confident that he thought that we wouldn't even be able to come close to him?

The walk was nerve wracking, the anxiety and stress were slowly creeping up on me. What if I failed? What did he know? What was their plan?

My brain was trying to analyze all possibilities and all outcomes.

I reached the top in what felt like hours. As I looked around all I could see was the massive Throne.

"Welcome, young Champion. You're quite reckless." The deepest and darkest voices I have ever heard said.

Tartarus got up from the Throne, his massive power output washing over me in fear form. I was about to run away, but I couldn't I owed it to the Universe.

He was a true monster, he was 10 feet tall and looked like an abomination.
