Hi, this is me trying to update more frequently, I want to get this back story over and done with so we can move on. I have an idea for the end but not the in between part, so if you would be so kind, I am open to ideas. So, I hope you enjoy...

Chaos POV
I feel really bad about Percy, I said that too soon. Though he does need to get over the memories, this was way worse than I thought. But I just hope he gets here soon, these primordials don't have a long attention span.

Percy POV
I woke up and rubbed my eyes, I rolled out of bed and looked in the mirror. I had bed head and my eyes were blood shot. Looking back to the bed I could see the book Chaos was talking about, I decided to have a shower. As the warm water ran down my face, I relaxed and let all my problems wash away. I just hope I can get some rest before they come back again. After a sigh, I stepped out and dried myself. Wrapping a towel round my waist, I walked over to my wardrobe. When I opened it, it was all the same outfit, guess this is what I'm wearing for the next millennia or however long I'm staying here. I got dressed and brought the book to my desk and opened it up. Surprisingly the living room as the first on the page and then turned to check what the bathroom looked like... just in case. After putting on my sword and dagger scabbards, I took a deep breath and stepped out into the corridor. Two steps later a door appeared when I recalled the image of the living room. I opened it and sighed in relief when it was the room I was looking for. Chaos was sitting on the sofa (A/N yeah, I'm English) turned away from me, I got an idea. I let the door creek open a little more but flew up to the ceiling before Chaos could see me. He cocked his head in curiosity and walked over to the door. While he was checking the corridor, I quickly but silently took out the cushion in the sofa spread across the floor then flew back up to the ceiling. When Chaos turned around he was shocked  to see what had happened  but started to cautiously put the cushions back. I dropped down behind him and blew in his hair, he squealed and kicked his leg out behind him. While he did that I nudged his straight leg and he fell over. I burst with laughter. He slowly stood up and I stopped laughing thinking I committed some sort of treason by playing a prank on the creator of the universe. But when he turned around he had a weird frown that looked like he was trying to hold in laughter. Then we both started to laugh. "Man," Chaos sighed "you really got me."
"Well you did also get me with the whole 'everyone is dead' thing." I said in a serious voice with a frown and Chaos looked worried. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. But seriously we need you to not be squeamish otherwise you couldn't go on missions without throwing up everywhere." He already said this on the phone. I sighed, "Y'know, I'm just gonna let this one slide, but if you do it again without telling me, I swear to the gods." Chaos just chuckled and clicked his fingers to set the cushions right. He went to the fridge and got a coke out, "You want one?" He asked.
"Nah, not in the mood," I said. He then sat down then patted the space next to him. "Why didn't you do that in the first place?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" Chaos said, confused. "The clicky finger thing," I answered.
"Ooh, probably because I didn't want to make a sound," it didn't sound convincing and the nervous laugh afterwards didn't help. I just looked at him with a 'really' face but didn't say anything else.
"You're meeting everyone else today," Chaos said, obviously wanting to change the subject. "What do you mean everyone else?" I was genuinely confused. Suddenly there was movement from all over the room, people coming out of hiding places. They all did something amazing like flips or teleportation to get to the place before Chaos and I. Slowly I realised these were the people 'dead' in my room, Gaia was also in front of me. "Percy," Chaos said, "These are the primordials." With my small knowledge of Greek mythology, I knew these guys were important. I quickly got of the sofa and bowed. "Now Perseus," said a deep voice, I wanted to say 'just Percy' but it seemed like now was not the time.
"You need not to bow before of us, you are our equal." I looked up with a confused face. The person who spoke had golden eyes and wore a black toga that had a gold buckle at the side. "Chaos you did tell him, right" the man said. I looked to Chaos, he had just taken a sip of coke then his eyes widened and he spat out the soda all over the floor. "Oh my gods -" he said acting like a mother who'd forgotten their child at the shops. Placing his coke on a table he continued, "Uh, Percy I have to tell you something."
I stared in anticipation.
"I-I.. I uh.." Chaos sighed and took a deep breath, "I am your father... Percy..." there was silence.
After a few moments the realisation kicked in and I stood up and yelled "WHAT?! Wh-what about Poseidon?! How? I have- I have water powers, that was like.. my whole thing?!"
"Percy, I put mist on him to think that you were his son. You do have powers that resemble Poseidon's but I also locked most of your alternative powers so that it wouldn't cause suspicion. I did this because it was too dangerous to have you around, who knows what could have happened if I kept you here." Chaos explained.
"I'll try and compose myself as this is... is quite a lot." I sighed, "So um, why... did you not tell me this before?"
"W-well," Chaos stuttered "there was a series of events that made me accidentally completely forget to mention it."
"What about the disowning? I lost all my powers after that." I asked.
"First of all I think that kelp head was stupid for doing that. I mean betraying them with Gaia? You're fatal flaw is literal loyalty, I mean-" Gaia interrupted him "Wwwait, they thought you helped me? I actually can't believe them, if I ever see that crab fish again I'm gonna punch his face." I laughed at this, to be honest, I wanted to do the same thing, though I never wanted to see him again. "Right Percy, lets start. The primordials want to show their gratitude for what you've done for them" Chaos said, clapping his hands together. "What? I haven't done anything that significant,"
"Nonsense, Percy. You don't even know." Gaia chuckled.
"Well then, I guess that mean you're first up, Gaia, do what you need to do." said Chaos gesturing to her.
Gaia stepped forward and produced a green glowing orb. It then floated towards me, I was already aware this was how they transmitted power so I just stood there and the orb entered into my chest. It was the same soft punch feeling as last time. Gaia seemed to be waiting for a reaction but got none, she looked a bit shocked. Then Eros came forward and did the same but with a hot pink orb. He just winked, I felt worried. Then the rest of the primordials came and gave me orbs with corresponding colours. My chest only just started to feel sore. It then came to Chaos. "Percy, this is returning your original power, so just be, y'know, prepared." Chaos warned. As the orb entered my body I felt a twinge of pain and I touched my chest with my hand, then the pain disappeared. I started to feel much colder but powerful. "Percy, I hope you are okay with this but you have a new role," Chaos said.
"Yeah, I understand with the whole mission thing," I said.
"Well, you are Winter, you travel around the world and help young demigods and also spreading the cold, the blessings you have just been given have been customised into powers that fit with your winter theme. While you're not Winter, you are Nero, mostly known for his great, versatile power and for being, well, son of Chaos." He said with a smile. I staggered back a bit, I had been given so much power, I hadn't known it would be that much. "I-I don't know if can do this, it seems like so much, maybe if I was Winter or Nero, both just seems.... overwhelming." I said.
"No, n-n-n-n-no, you can choose who to be at different times, your troubles, if not too big, will not bother each other's aspects." Chaos explained further. "Oh, so would it be like Roman and Greek sides of a god?" I asked.
Chaos hesitated before saying, "You could say that, however you're personality doesn't change, of course unless you're into that."
I breathed in, this will take a long time to get used to....
