Chapter 1:

Nico Di Angelo was in his cabin, practicing with his powers. His patrons was Nyx, the primordial of the Night, and Erebus, the primordial of Darkness. They had blessed him and made themselves his patrons. Nico had advanced senses in the night and dark, his power over shadows raised to a powerful standard.


He didn't dare to tell the gods or anyone in general. Zeus being who is would try to shoot him down in the spot if he found out.


Nico didn't really know why he was blessed and such, but he figured something was coming. He got his answer on that one day in camp half-blood.


In his cabin, he suddenly heard it, the sound that ran through camp. The warning that someone was attacking camp. He grabbed his sword from the shadows and ran out of his cabin. Running down the steps he could see the others running to their weapons and armory.


Nico didn't bother with running to his armor, his armor already appeared from the shadows and attached themselves to his body.


He ran to camp border along with others who had their weapons and armor ready. What he saw their shocked him, and probably everyone else on the field.


On the fields, all around camp half-blood was monsters. Not a few hundred, a few thousands. A was an army and they were breaking the borders.


Him along with many others ran forward and started to attack the monsters. Him self quickly stabbed an empousai, it exploding in a pile of dust as another monster took its place.


He continued forwards though, he swiped and stabbed at the monsters and kept going. He created chasms, sucking down some monsters that over whelmed others. He sent up some skeleton soldiers, the soldiers immediately went and attacked the monsters.


He heard the ringing in his ears and he knew people was going to die if the monsters wasn't destroyed.


He keep going forward and met with a power source. He was basically looking at a bright white sphere that was floating and constantly growing larger and larger by the minute. He wasn't stupid, he knew exactly what it was.a


The primordial God of light was trying to rise and taking form. Unfortunately, the figure emerged from the sphere, a smirk broad on his face.


Aether had risen.


Aether clapped his hands and they glowed, the second take it sent out a sonic boom. The demigods fell back a bit at the movement but monsters took this to an advantage.


Nico didn't care at the moment that he was blowing his secret, he just wanted to save his friends.


Raising his hands he stuck his sword in the ground, causing cracks to spider web around him. The moment causing some monsters to look at him and hiss, growl, etc.


He raised his hands in front of him, shoulder length and palm up, and focused. He closed his eyes and felt out with all the shadows on the battle field. He closed his fist and felt as the shadows and darkness on the field grab onto the monsters, holding them in place as demigods killed them. Some of his shadows even went as far as sucking out the monsters life force.


Demigods looked at Nico, glancing at him in silent thanks before going to kill other monsters.


Nico opened his eyes, very aware of the fact they were pitch black with no whites in them, giving him a demonic look.


Using his powers on a large scale gave him a rare adrenaline rushing through his veins. He could tell the gods above was shocked by his show of power when he did what he did next.


Using his power of the Night from Nyx, he turned the time of day into the time of Night. Stars appearing in seconds as the daylight was drawn out by the night in mere seconds.


He could feel Apollo and Artemis making a storm up on Olympus but couldn't do anything as Aether suddenly grabbing him by his neck, lifting him up a couple feet. Aether glared into the pitch black eyes of Nico. Some of the fight in the battle stopping as they looked at the scene confused as everyone was frozen in place, even the demigods and monsters together. The only thing they could see was Nico and Aether, no matter their position.


"How?! How do you have their blessing?!" Aether yelled, angered.


Nico smirked, his black eyes on his face making him looking even more demonic at the moment.


"What is this blessing your talking about?" He said sarcastically.


Aether dropped Nico on the ground, Nico smirking up at the distraught primordial. Aether glared down at the son of Hades.


Nico then sunk into the shadows and disappeared in the floor. Nico reappeared from the shadow of Aether, taunting him. He tapped his shoulder before reappearing a few yards away and in front of Aether.


Aether growled, eyes blazing, "this is not possible! Why do you have the blessing of Nyx and Erebus?!" He yelled, the gods above gasping in shock.


Aether formed a bright sphere, and threw it at Nico, who in turn raised a wave of shadows that swallowed the bright light in darkness. Causing as explosion with the two opposites.


Aether shot a dozen of bright spheres at Nico who wrapped himself in a blanket of darkness, the light bouncing off like hitting a force field.


Nico dropped his shield of shadows, smirking.


Aether blasted a sonic boom in Nico's way, causing him to drop down before getting hit to avoid the hit.


Using hell fire, Nico slammed his hands on the earth ground, the fire burning the grass and shooting toward Aether. Aether teleported out of the line of fire and looked smug, before the hell fire shot at his back.


Aether fell in shock before he glared at Nico who glared straight back with his demonic eyes. They were both down on the ground, they both stood quickly and in an ironic sync, they both punch at the air, in which light came from Aether and Darkness from Nico.


The impact caused an powerful explosion, dust blew, hiding the two opposites from view.


On Olympus, things where in Chaos. Zeus and Poseidon yelling with Hades, asking why they didn't know of this sooner. Hades yelling that he didn't know in the first place, etc. Overall, gods and goddesses were fighting, asking why did they not know of the rise of Aether.


Nemesis however, was intrigued. As the goddess of balance, the Goddess can sense how evenly matched the two beings was. The blessing of Nyx and Erebus causing Nico to be just as powerful or maybe even more as a god. Plus the fact he is a child of the Big Three, that causing him to be extremely powerful.


When the dust below was clear, both figures that was opposites was gone. The fighting on Olympus stopped, looking down at the scene confused and shocked.
