Hero of the Damned

Chaos?

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Percy Jackson, nor Heroes of Olympus, Rick Riordan does.

Percy's POV:

Today was the day Zoe was going to meet with the gods who sided with me on the day I got banished, I was currently unable to go and see them because I had to go on a mission for Tartarus. I looked at Zoe and smiled as we pulled our hoods over our heads.

"Talk to you later Umbra, don't get yourself killed alright?" I say and I sense Zoe roll her eyes

"Same to you Shadow" Zoe said and I chuckle

Since Zoe found out that I have been going by the name of 'Shadow' she suggested to go by the name of Umbra, or shadow in Latin. People who didn't know what was going on would just assume we didn't know what the translation of Umbra was, but people who knew us, like Tartarus, Hades, and my mother Styx, they were all in on the dam joke.

Once Tartarus showed up to take Zoe to the meeting, I walked out of my hut which now had a garage so I can work on being a mechanic. I had built the garage out of fallen logs that were scattered throughout the swamp as well as some pelts I had collected while out hunting. After I walked out, I started heading towards the location where Tartarus said he felt the biggest power surge. Small Bob had followed me out and I smiled.

"Looks like it's you and me again buddy" Small Bob shrinks into a tabby cat before jumping onto my shoulder before I take off at a sprint towards the location of the power surge

As I travel I pass a few monsters which I easily take care of with a quick stab of my hidden blades to the back of the throat. I continued to run until I realized where I was heading and I clenched my fists.

"I can't believe I'm coming back here." I muttered to myself as I reached a stone pathway that lead into a black nothingness

I slowed to a walk and Small Bob jumped off and turned into his Saber Tooth tiger size. I glanced around cautiously until I reached an altarlike structure with a shield on it. Standing next to the shield was good old misery and her hideous self.

"Hello, Shadow. That is your name correct?" Akhlys said through a half-choked sob "Because that is what the Monsters say you call yourself."

"Yes, my name is Shadow, what of it?" I say impatiently

"I sense you've been through much pain, so much pain and misery... why don't you join my army? Together we can escape this infernal damnation. Mother would be proud to finally rule instead of those puny gods of Olympus. Mother would even allow you to make them all yours if you wish." Akhlys said with a sniffling that got annoying, it was as if she had horrible allergies and decided that others liked the sound of her sniffling

I crossed my arms as Small Bob got ready to pounce. I looked around and noticed a group of monsters starting to surround us, but they looked hesitant for I knew that they either heard the rumors spread around or they have faced my ruthlessness.

"It would be wise to join the army" Akhlys said through a stuffy nose and a question popped into my head

"Wait, do you represent the worst misery someone can think of? Because you sound like you have the worst of all allergies. And I absolutely Despise allergies, I feel it's worse than being sick..." I asked and the monsters looked at me like I was the weird one

"Yes, I do. And I must say these are miserable. In fact, I should thank you for helping the cause already, I will cause the Demigods and Gods to have the absolute worst allergies!!!" Akhlys announced and the monsters gave a nervous shout of agreement and I laughed which caused Akhlys to cringe sharply
