The Time Before 『A PJO/HOO Fanfic』❕ON HOLD FOR REWRITE❕

Luke ~ 13

《ℒUᏦℰ》

"Luke" A voice echoed in the quiet night. No one was up, and those who were were in their cabins. "Entlukei!"

I looked down to the gem on my wrist. In the opal gem was the image of Ilex. Her hair plated with silver jewels, the gold tiara pressed against her head and protected the conite at the edge of her hairline. The periwinkle chiffon dress blowed in every which way, and a gold light blinded her from the left. A strained expression dawned her face,"Entlukei! You must hurry!"

"Why, what's happened?"

"It's begun, Estora." She says. "You must bring him back now! Or it will be too late and our worlds will be over!"

"Ilex, I can't bring him back." I answer in a hushed whisper, hoping not to reveal my location to the harpies. "I don't know if he remembers. But the others do."

"Then send them back first, they need to fully remember and Gaea has fallen. Her powers have weakened."

"What about Helios? And Selene?"

"The Queen is almost dead, and Helios is trying his best to keep her alive as long as he can, but I doubt he'll be strong enough to fight if Dymitro does not return now!"

"I'll do what I can." I turned off the communicator and made a b-line for my campsite. I didn't care now if the harpies saw me. If Chiron saw me as I passed the big house. It doesn't matter now.

The satchel with the potions lay secured by the roaring fire, each bottle capped and sealed. Quickly I disassembled the camp and ran to the hades cabin. I knew Nico wouldn't question my hurried state too much, and Luseke would understand. The Hephaestus cabin were shaken up by my presence as well as the other campers. Each of them protecting the young campers and cabins, ready to strike me if needed.

"Please let me go!" I shouted trying to release the ares campers grips on my arms. "I need to get to Percy! It's an emergency!"

"Luke! How are you here, you should be in Tartarus with Kronos." Chiron spoke, quieting the murmurs and whispers of the campers.

"I don't have time, please, I need to see Leo, Hazel, Piper, and Percy. The fate of the world depends on them." I say.

"I doubt your lying mouth." Chiron nods tot he ares campers. I struggle more, hoping that some sliver of my strength could lessen the ares campers grips just some. "Send him to the labyrinth."

"No!" I yell

"Chiron! Let him go!" Piper yelled pushing past the crowd, Hazel and Leo right behind her. "What he says is true."

"Are you working with him? Piper? Hazel? How do I know that you're not working with him to bring the end of the world here again?" Chiron says.

"Because if we don't leave, the end will come quicker than you think. We're the only ones who can stop void from destroying all you love." A voice from the very back of the crowd echoed.

The campers parted like the Red Sea to reveal a man white haired and powerful. His stature was the same as the son of Poseidon but he held himself differently, more mature and brave. The black hair and green eyes were traded for bright white locks and ice blue eyes that could pierce you if he glares. "Chiron. Let him go."

"Percy?" Annabeth spoke out of breath.

"No." Leo says the first to speak as silence plagued the campers. Everyone to stunned to speak nor move, but kneeled knowing he was stronger than any of them could ever be. "That is the heir to the galaxy, true king of the gods—Prince Dymitro Estora, first son of Chaos." Leo bowed to him, reliving the speech that was spoken on the day of Dymitro's coronation.

The area campers who held me released their grip with out warning, letting me fall face first. I groaned in pain and dusted myself off, "Dymitro. It's time." He nodded and walked to me, Leo, Hazel, and Piper stood near me as well. "We'll be back."

I handed out the bottles and watched as they drank theirs. Their faces scrunched as the bitter taste hit their tongue, but they still drank it. And one by one they fell to the ground. Bodies enveloped in a fine mist and swept away in the wind. Looking at my own, I uncapped it, ready to face the trouble I was gonna get into when I returned.

My eyes opened to a flower petal logged in my throat. Eyes wide open and clutching my throat as I coughed it out. "Ugh."

"You're back!" Bianca hugged me. She looked the same as when I left. Dark brown plaited hair and the uniform I gave her, but it was decorated with flowers and the intricate designs indicating that Estora was starting. She released me from her hug, "the king wishes to see you."

I got up and helped her, even though I know she could get up on her own. "What, why?"

"Something about Percy." She says. "But I don't think it's Percy, he looks different."

Nodding, I make my way down the long hallway from the physician's office. The pillars that held the ceiling up were wrapped in gold vines with water lilies on it in a brilliant white. In the opposite direction, silver vines with soft pink hibiscuses contrasted with the lilies, but gave the effect of a peaceful time. Uranian blue carpets ran down the center of the hall, a striking pop of color in the marble floors.

Maids and staff ran around hurrying to put something away or to set something up. Each welcoming me to the hall they worked and continuing their duty. Some soldiers stood guard every other pillar and saluted to me as I passed by. Over the few years I've been on Eskriya, this planet hasn't been all to bad. The army is hard and brought me back to post-Kronos influence, I smile often and I joke around as much as I can, that broke and bruised me to become the general of the army.

"Sir, Chaos is requesting your presence immediately." A solider down the hall from the throne room told me. I just nodded my head and walked into the room.

Chaos was on the ground, arms around the white-haired man. His shoulders bounced and his voice cracked when he whispered. No one but us three were in the cathedral like room, so his barely audible whispers echoed loudly. And Dymitro held his father close. The camp half-blood orange shirt was traded for alabaster white robes. They kind of looked like prince Eric's wedding clothes from the little mermaid.

"Sir?" I broke the silence.

Chaos looked at me and stood. Smiling he thanked me fro bringing Dymitro back to their family, though he seemed on edge when he patted my back.

Somewhere else

An evil chuckle echoed through the endless sea of stars. The light around him glows brightly, feeding him power as he engulfed them in their demise. Behind his shadowy figure was nothing but pure darkness. No light could be seen. Nor could you tell where it started or where it is, all that gave you an inkling of where the bringer of emptiness was the steps of the man.

 His eyes shone through the darkness like a flashlight. A dark orange that was unnatural and a cunning smile that would send everyone cowering to their mothers. "Little Prince, Little Prince.."

"It has been a long time since I've returned, I hope you didn't forget our deal."
