The Court of Nyx

The Birth of Mordred

Luke/Alucard: P.O.V

After Lady Nyx left to investigate the source of the energy that entered Tartarus near het castle about 4 months ago, I left to tend to the others of the court. I walked to the meeting hall and saw the 6 others whom I call brothers and sisters. Lord Pyrum, Lord Nexus, Lord Sol, Lady Vigil, Lady Shadow and Lady Avalon.

"Alucard my brother." Lady Vigil said.

"Hello again sister how are things?" I asked.

"The usual dear brother, slow. Where is milady, surely she is present?" She inquired.

"A strong energy presence appeared nearly 4 months ago near her domain so she went to investigate. She claimed she knew what it was and went alone. I suggested any of us go with her but she said that this was a task better handled as a mother than a queen." I explained.

"I wonder what would cause her to act like that." Pyrum said.

"No clue brother no clue." I said.

With that I took my seat and polished my sword, Persecutor.

30 minutes later

"My knights." Lady Nyx said as she approached us.

"Queen Nyx, you have returned and unharmed. That is a relief." Avalon said as she knelt.

"Rise my knights...meet your new brother in arms." She said as a person walked up from behind her.

"No way." Pyrum said.

"Impossible." Avalon said.

"What...this can't be real milady." Vigil said.

"By the Sword of Night." Sol said.

"Is....is it really?" Shadow asked.

"This can't be true....can it?" Nexus asked.

"Percy...is that really you?" I asked walking up.

"Uh...yeah. How do you know my name?" He asked cautiously.

With that I motioned to the others who removed their helmets.

"Perce, it's us." I said.

No. Fucking. Way" he said.

Percy P.O.V

"No. Fucking. Way." I said as a the people in front of me removed their helmets...revealing themselves to be old friends whom I thought were dead.

"Luke, Charlie, Silena, Ethan, Michael, Zöe, Bianca, what in the fuckin Hades is going on here?! I thought you all were in Elysium." I shouted. "The gods secretly cast us out for reasons unknown. But Nyx found us. Gave us a home...a purpose." Silena said.

"Well, this will make being a knight 10 times easier." I said.

"Indeed young hero. But two things remain...your armor and weapon, and you identity. I already have the perfect armor and sword for you.

"And I already have a name my Queen." I said.

"Oh...and that is?" She inquired as did the others by their looks of concern and confusion.

"Mordred, the name of the Knight whom was betrayed by Arthur because of who he was...a righteous man. I am Mordred now. Percy Jackson is dead to all but who resides in this room." I said with a new found authority.

"Spoken like a true King." Luke said.

"What?" I asked.

"You hold the seat of the king...the seat that is reserved for the true heir to the Throne of Nyx...the Throne of Shadows." Luke said.
