This is the tale of one man who joined up with the Court of Nyx 8 years ago. Now he sits at the head as the heir tp the Throne of Shadows and leader of the Court of Nyx. But he wasn't always Lord Mordred, Heir to the throne of Shadows he was once known as the two time Savior of Olympus and one of the Seven of Prophecy, Slayer of Kronos and Gaia as well as one of the greatest sons of Poseidon as was once told and seen as a mentor to many...his name was Percy Jackson but now it is Mordred the Merciless...but this is the tale of how he became Lord Mordred...it started 10 years ago when he was sent on a quest by Lady Athena since he wanted to propose to her daughter Annabeth Chase, whom he was in love with, after 3 months he succeeds and arrives back at camp Half Blood...but he isn't welcomed warmly as his new half brother James Flint caused problems and spread rumors about him....

Percy P.O.V

"Finally I can now propose to Wise Girl." I said as I walked through the border.

"Look who it is...the outcast." A guard said.

I didn't let what he said get to me. I knee that many people were talking this way due to my new half-brother, James Flint, spreading lies and rumors about me. Soon many people saw me as an enemy minus the Seven, Nico and Annabeth...my Annabeth whom I was going to propose to.

As I walked through the camp people gave me cold stares and evil eyes but it didn't faze me as I walked up to the gang to see if anyone knew where Annabeth was.

"Hey guys." I said.

"Hey Perce you finally finished the quest eh?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, you guys seen Annabeth?" I asked.

"Yeah she went down to the beach." Leo said.

"Thanks Leo." I said as I walked off.

I made it to the beach and saw two people making out.

Eh this is a decent place to do that sorta thing. I thought to myself as I went onward....that is until I heard a familiar voice behind me.

???:Percy?

I looked to see Annabeth standing there...with James.

"Hey Annabeth, James." I said.

"James...can I have a minute?" She asked him.

"Sure thing babe." He said as he kissed her cheek.

"Wait....babe?! What the Hades is going on?!" I asked shocked.

"Percy...I moved on. I thought you left me." She said.

"Did you forget my fatal flaw....let me remind you what it is... Loyalty!" I said.

"You just vanished without word to anyone. I asked and asked but the others said they had no clue where you went! What was I supposed to do!" She snapped.

"I was on a quest that your mother gave me so I could do propose but I guess I don't have to now...James...take care of her ok man...I'll see ya around Annabeth." I said defeated. I walked up to James and gave him the ring and box and then walked off to my cabin.

The next thing I knew I was on Olympus infront of the Council.

"What is going on?" I asked.

"Percy Jackson due to certain events you have been deemed a threat to Olympus and as such must be dealt with and for that reason we have decided to banish you to Tartarus as well as make you immortal." Zeus said.

And with that I was turned immortal and then banished to the depths of Tartarus for all eternity.

"Well I guess now I really am alone." I said as I began my walk to Damasen's hut to live out my eternal solitude.

It has been nearly a year since my banishment and I have slain the Minotaur at least 500 plus times since I got here, as well as two Titans, Hyperion and Krios about 4 times each, and also many monsters but I made it to the hut. I took the meat left by the monsters and cooked it as well as used what was left to fix up the hut and expand a bit on it by adding a tanning rack to tan the hides of the Minotaur amd saved some of them as well as made a storage area to house what I make from the monsters I slay. But one day I awoke and headed out to finish tanning some hides.

Nyx P.O.V

"Queen Nyx, a new presence has appeared." A man said kneeling before me.

"I know Alucard....I will deal with it. I know who the person is." I said.

With that I got up and vanished from my Castle and appeared near a hut in the swamps.

"Poor young soul...lost whom he loved, betrayed because of his power and now abandoned...how the Fates and Gods can be so cruel I will never know." I said to my self as I walked up to the hut to see the person I was looking for kneeling down in front of a tanning rack tanning hides.

"And to think a great hero is here once again." I spoke making my presence known.

The person looked up at me with cold and hollow sea green eyes.

"If your looking for a hero your sorely lost Nyx for all that exists here is a mere warrior whom lost his will to fight. I have some Minotaur hides that I can make into rugs if you want. Only 20 drachma a rug.

"I am looking for the one known as Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon and the two time hero of Olympus-" I spoke as I heard a noise.

I looked to see a sword aimed at my throat.

"Don't mention that place or the people that reside there again." He said harshly venom in his voice.

"I am sorry about what they did to you Perseus, but I am here to offer you a second chance...at being a hero, a warrior with a purpose, but most of all...not a puppet or a pawn for others to use." I said.

He looked at me then sheathed his sword.

"Come inside then and we can talk." He said going inside the hut.

I followed him inside and saw a bed, kitchen and table with two chairs at it.

"Have a seat." He offered.

I sat down facing him.

"What is this offer you have for me?" He inquired.

"I have a group under my name...they call themselves the Court of Nyx. They see me as a Queen yet I see them as the demigod children whom I mother after they were cast out of Elysium for one reason or another. There are 8 in total...but I only have 7...then I sensed you being cast down here and I decided to come and visit." I said.

"Ok...what is the purpose of the Court?" He inquired.

"They serve to uphold justice and honor within the world of the Veil. They hunt the monsters that even Artemis won't as well as aid the other Primordials whenever needed to. However, though they see me as the Queen, they act and decide themselves what to do. My offer is that you take the 8th and final seat in the Court." I said.

He pondered the offer for a minute.

"One condition." He said.

"What might that be?" I asked him.

"I want you to promise me that I will not be a puppet or pawn." He said.

"Done." I said.

He stood up and kneeled.

"Then I accept the offer my Queen." He said.

With that I smiled and nodded.

"Come with me my child for the ceremony is to commence at dawn." I said as we vanished to my Castle of Shadow, where the 7 others await their new brother in arms.
