Son of Odin

Back In Black

Chaos sat in her throne, eyes closed and just focusing. Forcing Percy into his surge had taken so much out of her, but it was something that she believed was necessary. It was necessary but at the same time had its consequences. Chaos was pushed further into slumber and at this point was only just strong enough to make herself a physical manifestation.

Sitting in her throne she felt stronger, she reached out and felt the power of the Gods. She could feel Odin's ambient wrath sitting comfortably at a feasting table in a white gold kingdom, filled with Vikings. She could feel Artemis and her growing worry for her fiancé's state.

She could feel Zeus throwing a thunderbolt to the mortal world, seemingly arguing with his daughter, Thalia grace whom had gotten very powerful in her own right due to becoming one of Perseus' generals.

She could feel her sons and daughters in their Primordial elements, but the one thing that she couldn't feel worried her the most. She knew that Percy had awoken, but because of the surge his new power was going haywire and he wasn't even able to control it. Worst of all he was subconsciously hiding it. He would appear as a mere mortal to almost anybody, except for those who knew his face personally.

He was dipping into dangerous waters going around on his own with the Horsemen still after him. They had shown themselves to be a lot stronger than anyone had given them credit for. They had mentioned serving a higher purpose, there was only one that could have been able to outright manipulate her apocalypse children but it was impossible, the incarceration that she had created for him was ever lasting, unbreakable by all.

Slowly she reached out and felt the presence of the one being in the universe constructed of pure evil. 'Hello sister' she heard the deep voice vibrate through her entire being. Evil at his core, he had somehow managed to find a way around his restraints and manipulate some of her strongest sons and daughter.

'Abaddon.' She responded to the voice. Her anger grew, she made a promise to never let him surface again. He had corrupted and eroded her universe once before and she'd had to sacrifice so much to put him in a place that he could not come back from.

'The surge of your champion has broken my bonds. You placed me in the black hole in hopes that I would forever be locked away, but evil cannot be stopped, I will see your champion soon, sister.' The voice responded before going cold.

Chaos opened her eyes. They were covered in wisps of pure purple energy. It was Abaddon, and he was slowly climbing out of the personal hell that she had put him in. There was no way for her to help Percy any more than she already had. Perhaps if he could control his power he would have a chance to fight back. Only a being with an incorruptible heart could prevail against evil in its purest form.

Meanwhile, Percy breached multiple dimensions and found himself suddenly plummeting towards the busy streets of Asgard. He was surrounded in pure black smoke that seemed to be trailing off of his body with minimal effort.

"Stop! You're breaching my kingdom!" He heard a familiar voice call out to him. It was the voice that he'd fallen in love with. Seeing his chance to make one hell of an entrance he surrounded himself in the black smoke entirely and rocketed straight into the ground, causing a decent sized crater in the middle of the street.

That had hurt, he wasn't sure why, but his natural healing abilities were acting up and he had actually put himself through stone with that little entrance. The dust and smoke slowly cleared, giving Artemis a clear view of who it was.

"Percy!" She shouted in what could only have been an odd mixture of anger, sadness, relief and affection. She was at his side in an instant and pulling him into her arms.

"Hello moonshine." He grinned through tired eyes. Artemis shook her head in disproval before whispering something to her handmaiden. The girl looked oddly familiar to Percy for some reason.

"Calypso, send word that Perseus has returned." Artemis whispered. Just then Percy was glowing a strange mixture of purple and black before his hair changed and his eyes were no longer sea green a vibrant purple.

"And me, I'm back as well." Armageddon grinned childishly. Artemis sighed before smiling sadly at her mix fiancé. Soon enough they were in their bedroom and Artemis was putting his tired body on a long sofa that overlooked the entire kingdom's northern side.

"It's beautiful." She heard him whisper.

"You've been back for five minutes and already I'm patching up your wounds." Artemis sighed happily. She was glad he was back and didn't care what she had to do.

"Actually I've been back for thirty five minutes. I woke up in Nyx's realm, subconsciously killed all of her shadow warriors because Chaos has forced my purge meaning that I have to rediscover my power. I then went to Olympus and accidentally stopped gravity, found out that I was invisible and undetectable to the Gods and broke a pillar in the throne room. Spoke with Zeus and Poseidon, then Hestia then crashed into our kingdom. I'm back, surprise." Percy grinned. When he said surprise he created a shower of confetti that faded from view after a few seconds.

"You... Are an incredibly special man." She sighed with another smile before curling up into his arms on the more than sizeable sofa.

"And you're THE most special woman to me." He responded, turning the situation to his advantage. Artemis' grip on him tightened at the compliment. They stayed that way for who knows how long, it didn't matter to either of them thought because they were finally back in each other's arms.

"Percy?" She whispered slowly.

"Artemis?" He responded easily.

"I want a child."
