Chaos was sat in her eternal gardens with Artemis and Nyx. All three of them were still bleary eyed at their loss. Chaos had explained that while Tartarus was using his own life force to keep Percy trapped, that there was nothing that they could do to free him. Chaos herself was beyond all other Primordials in power, but she was still technically stuck in slumber, and just didn't have the power to do anything.
"Mother, did you feel that?" Both Nyx and Chaos shot up immediately. Artemis didn't know what was going on, but looked hopeful none the less.
"Yes I did. This is both good and bad." Chaos frowned. Artemis was quick to follow.
"What is it?" Artemis almost hissed. She needed to hear something good after all that had happened. Chaos frowned, perhaps she should not be the one to tell her, but if not her, then who? Nyx had lost a brother, Artemis had lost a lover, and she had lost a son.
"Percy has made an allegiance with Kronos. The Titan King has changed from his old ways there is no doubt about that. I would not say that he has become good, but neutral. He has broken Percy out of his captor's hands and rejuvenated him. They have fought side by side for the past couple of minutes which I suspect down there is several hours." Chaos' eyes went white as she was relaying what she saw. Nyx could feel the immortals fighting but could not see it. Chaos gasped. Even Artemis felt that one.
"He has found Yggdrasil and Baninir. And spoken for the first time in two years of Tartarus." Chaos' yes returned to their sad composure. Artemis cried. Weeks for them mourning had been two years of Percy's torture.
"I am not Perseus." Nyx said calmly but with a frown.
"My name is Armageddon." Chaos continued. "He just killed thousands of Tartarus' hellguard by raising his hand. Nyx shuddered at the power that they could all feel.
"But that means that he'll come out of Tartarus." Artemis looked up hopefully, she was uncertain in her words and they appeared as more of a question than a statement.
"Indeed. But the years of torture have changed them both. While Perseus remained solid, his thoughts anchored on only one person, Armageddon just had a pent up silent rage, a fury unseen for thousands of years. I fear that Armageddon may turn into a scourge that we will have to defeat, and from his show of power, I am unsure whether we truly can. Gaea and Tartarus were some of the strongest there were and with other Primordials they could not kill Perseus, the best they could do was hold him in Tartarus, and even so two years was nothing compared to what they should have been contained for." Chaos' eyes turned cold, Perseus would have to defeat his own inner demon to protect those he loved, but she, and only she could foresee another great sacrifice on his part being necessary.
"Nyx, have Apollo inform our demi-gods to seek out the doors of death. We need them to be ready for the day the Prince and the King return." Chaos stood as well. Nyx disappeared in a show of shadows.
"Come, Artemis, we need to speak with Odin." Chaos extended her hand. Artemis shakily stood up. And they both immediately reappeared in the throne room of Asgard's golden towers.
"Lady Chaos. It is a pleasure to see you, what might you be in my kingdom for?" Odin asked. He had just sat down on his throne.
"Lady Artemis, so nice to see you again, but so soon I fear that our business today is not one of leisure." Odin confirmed his own thoughts when he noticed Percy's presence wasn't with them.
"Chaos where is my son?" His voice was calm and collected but held a dangerous amount of power within it.
"He fought his battles and won. Did Thor not tell you of what transpired?" Chaos asked. Odin leaned back into his throne.
