SilverMoon Mercenaries

Remembering the Past

Nex POV, Same Day

Unknown Location

As we warped away, I looked at Artemis. Her pleading eyes asking me to tell her where Percy Jackson is. I wished I could just take her in my arms and say everything's okay. I was mulling over this when Archangel punched me in the arm. "Hey Commander, we're here." I looked around, the bustling city of Chaos was busier than ever, at the rush hour of today.

Chaos City was the Primordial Chaos' personal city, a pinnacle of architecture and technological advances. It was in the Void, unreachable and nonexistent to those who are evil. I stepped forward, followed by Archangel and Moros. The civilians parted for us, they knew our fearsome reputation. We walked the streets, until we reached Chaos' palace. It was made of the Void and Universe, literally.

The palace was pitch black, covered in stars and universes. As we stepped in, the guards bowed to us and let us through. As we walked through the palace corridors to the throne room, I remembered the events that led to my banishment and rise as Nex. I scowled under my mask, I had flashbacks like this that reminded me of my past, never setting me free of my burden.

-Flashback-

"You must come with me Perseus." said Hermes seriously. It was sunrise after I had professed my love to Artemis. I was in a bed with the Goddess of the Hunt sleeping on top of me, and Hermes decides to go and crash the party.

I glared at him, and he cringed under my gaze. Artemis shifted on top of me, her auburn curls splayed across my shirt. I played with them, twirling them with my finger, still glaring at Hermes. "Ugh, Percy, stop moving around..." Artemis muttered. Hermes stifled a laugh, and I gently shook Artemis. "Arty, time to wake up, we have a visitor." She opened her eyes, and as soon as she saw Hermes, she shot out of bed, grabbed her bow, and shot him in the place where Apollo doesn't shine.

"Argh, Artemis, you didn't need to do that..." Hermes said, clutching his jewels as Artemis and I laughed our butts off. "But seriously, Zeus wants you on Olympus. I believe he recently discovered you and Artemis eating each others' faces out, so be careful." he warned. We got all armored up, and Arty flashed us to Olympus. We walked in the throne room, and she flashed into her throne. As everyone else flashed into their thrones, Zeus began talking, in a very dangerous tone.

"Perseus Jackson, I have recently found out a shocking revelation." I looked at him incredulously. "Are you dating my daughter Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt?" The Olympians that didn't know gasped, Apollo was outraged. I simply nodded and in a flash, Apollo and Zeus had their weapons aimed at me, at full power. My mind was calculating millions of percentages, options, and chances of survival in seconds. I opted for the once chance that would probably get me killed. "Zeus, Apollo, why are you so angry at me? Artemis' life is her own and she can date whomever she chooses."

They got even angrier, and my dear Artemis looked scared, probably scared that I would get killed and gone forever. "Perseus Jackson, you have condemned yourself to death, anything to say before you die?" Zeus said, boiling my blood. Hermes, Hades,Hestia, Demeter and Artemis tried to come to my defense, but I stopped them and flipped Zeus off saying,

"Indeed my Lord Zeus. You are a load of bullshit that controls his own daughter and lets her make no life decisions." I glared at him with as much menace I had in me. "And on top of it all, you make that Nathan asshole a GOD!" The said god flashed in immediately. "Who said my glorious name? Oh you, my asshat brother. I bet you don't have half the guts to court that whore Artemis." By now I was angry, seeing this (Insert very colorful language x1000) and on top of it all, he was insulting Artemis, my love. I became practically invisible, slashing Nathan brutally all over his body, and when I was finished, he looked unrecognizable.
