The Purely Dark Demigod

Fate is Fate

"Welcome children of the Prophecy."
The fates chimed.

Nico scowled and muttered something about creepy old ladies.

Ella coughed. "Okay, fates Im just gonna get straight to the point-"

"You want to better understand the prophecy-

"And the mission we sent for you-"

"So you came here."

                                                                 Children of the Sea, Beware the Pit
 
The Crimson, and evil that dwell.           within it

      Shadows deep, an utter fright

       Healing Light within our sight

The world  could end, Immortals fall

 The Fates quest , in the end could save us all

   But Purely Dark, beware the Pit

  The Insanity that dwell within it

The fates chanted altogether.

"Okay thats it creepazoids!" Percy glared. "No more riddles. What does Tartarus want?"

The fates laughed "What did Gaea want? What did Kronos want? Everything. Rule over the world. Destruction of Immortals. Puny Demigods too."

Nico frowned. "Firstly, we arent 'puny demigods'. Saved you ungrateful immortals enough times to contradict that..."

"And secondly, why does Tartarus hate the immortals so much? He is one himself.."

Ella shook her head. " Nuh uh. Tar Tar sauce ("Worst nickname ever...." Percy laughed) is a primordal."

"Explain."

*sigh* "In the beggining, there were 2 primordal brothers: Chaos and Order-"

"Wild guess, but is chaos bad and order good?" Will interrupted.

"Opposite."

"Well that makes no sense with their names..."

"Deal with it. Anyway, chaos made Gaea, Tartarus, Eros, Aether, Nyx, and Erubus from thin air and took them in as his kids."

"Woah. Time out." Nico said.

"Eros is an immortal!"

" The mortal view on immortals makes them seem like that. If a mortal thought Zeus was dead, then he would be. The only reason they still exist is because one can never kill a story..."

"But they can change it.." Percy finished.

"Exactly. Eros is a primordal, but since mortals think of him as immortal, then thats what he appears as."

"Anyway, Chaos eventually had this huge fight with order and chaos won. Then he checked out his kids and noticed EVERYTHING WAS NOT OKAY."

Percy frowned. "Define 'not okay'."

"Look immortals have a horrible sense of time. Gaea takes a catnap, several millenia pass. Chaos takes a wok break several centuries pass. You get the picture." Ella shrugged.

"And if I was an immortal that just came back from a vaycay only to find my kids kinda faded from the picture and replaced by some new bratty immortals....one of which kinda stole my son... Then I'd be pretty pissed."
Will concluded.

Ella coughed. "Yeah, Chaos and Aphrodite dont get along... Their still fighting over Eros.."

Nico snorted. "Sorry just unbelievable that someone would fight over that jerk..."

Percy raised an eyebrow. " Hey, why do you hate Eros anyway?"

At that Nico went quiet.

Will poked him. "You okay?"

Ella was confused for a second. "Ohhh... Its because of what happened in  The House of Hades?"

"What?"

"Yknow the book-Nevermind. Anyway, Chaos realized that the immortals ruled Earth better than the primordals so he let them stay. He only sends help and stuff if absolutely neccesary. Chaos hates nost of the immortals, but not the good ones."

Nico flashed a grateful at Ella for changing the subject.

Percy nodded. "Okay. So Chaos likes the nice ones like hestia and hates lightning lose-

"I wouldnt insult him in his domain sea spawn." the fates warned.

"Right. Sorry. But what does this have to do with Tartarus?"

"No villian is without a backstory. Im telling you this in case primordals get involved. If this is a full- blown out war, then they might get involved. Emphasis on might."

Percy groaned. "But... Tartarus might attack camp by then!"

At that Will straightened. "Guys," he began nervously, "Isn't it wierd that nothing happened yet? I mean nad guys always send a threat to show how powerful they are..."

Ella paled and turned to the fates. "You've been awfully quiet." she looked at them to see snipped pieces of yarn on the floor.

Purple yarn

Rome

"What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" Ella demanded angrily.

The fates simply smiled. "Death is death, and fate is fate."

Will turned to Percy. "Make a rainbow for an Iris message! Quick!"

They made a rainbow. "Iris goddess of the rainbow, show me Praeator Reyna at the Roman Camp!" Percy said worry in his eyes.

The image shimmered to show...

Blood everywhere.

Dakota was impaled with a spear, and one of his eyes were missing. There was blood in his hair, and fear on his face.

He was dead.

Bodies were everywhere.

They could only hope that some had escaped

Will gasped and pointed at a tree in the Iris message. A note was stuck on thw tree, it said few words, but conveyed so much.

I am Tartarus
And I am coming.
I see you.
