《Perseus Jackson: A New Purpose》The Beginning of our plan
Advertisement
After a little nap, I paced my room. We needed a way to start the war. I knew Kronos had his own plan, but Gaia told me to orchestrate one of my own. After pacing the room for Chronos knows how long, I finally came up with a plan.
I transported myself to mount Othrys, suppressing my power to remain undetected. The Titan council was in utter chaos, Rhea was screaming at Kronos for starting the whole thing by swallowing their kids, Koios and Hyperion were talking among themselves. Iapetus was convincing Krios that Bob is better than being called Iapetus.
I revealed myself in the throne room. "Sorry to burst your bubble Rhea, but the gods were paranoid from the beginning. Zeus's hunger for power would have made him overthrow Kronos regardless."
The council quietened on hearing me. I noticed that the throne meant for Metis was empty. I snapped my fingers, bringing in the spirit of the Titaness. The Titans looked at me thankfull.
"Metis", I said, "are you willing to aid the Titans in this war?"
"Yes", she replied confidently. I nodded.
"I have a plan," I told them. Kronos beckoned for me to continue.
"The gods need to be scared to the point that they're wetting themselves. Kampê will lead an attack on camp half-blood." As I said this, Kampê was brought in. She nodded at me. "Next", I said, snapping my fingers, summoning Polybotes, "Polybotes will lead an attack on camp Jupiter." I continued, "try keeping the demigod casualty as low as possible. The more there are, the more afraid and disarrayed they'll be."
"I'm not your slave to do as you say," Polybotes rumbled.
"I'm helping you and I suggest you shut your trap and listen to me before I make you fade," I snarled, getting a little annoyed at the Giants' attitudes. The Titans and Giant nodded fearfully.
"Oceanus, gather the force of the sea wage war on Poseidon."
He nodded and then spoke up, "I feel like you should know this, but despite Poseidon seeming to have disowned you, the sea still recognizes you as one of its own, so you still have power over it."
I nodded at him. "I will be bringing Typhon back and he will start his march here and take a month to reach Olympus", I said. The Titans looked surprised at this but nodded their heads in understanding. I gave them a mock salute and shadow travelled away.
I then traveled to Olympus, hidden in the shadows around it. I released some of my aura. The Olympians started to appear in their thrones in bright flashes. I realised that this was nothing compared to Primordial council. The gods' auras were weak compared Gaia or Tartarus. If those two really do fight in this war, the gods are as good faded.
Zeus wielded his masterbolt and looked around the room, "Did anyone else feel that aura in the throne room."

All the gods nodded their heads. My plan was about to surface now. Poseidon yelped and seemed to age a few years.
"Oceanus has declared war on me," he said before flashing away.
Hermes stood up. "Father", he said in a alarmed voice.
"Yes?" Zeus asked.
"Typhon is back," he said in a mere whisper, but it was heard by everyone as they all paled.
"How?" Hades asked, "didn't Posiedon seal him up?" He questioned.
Apollo almost fell of his throne, "Mount Othrys has risen," he said, "It's clouded from my vision, but I swear on the Styx that I just saw the entire Titan pantheon there. Metis included," he added, looking towards Athena.
Athena seemed to become a few years younger and looked a bit emotional at the mension of her mother.
I felt the shadows shift. I knew this was Erebus and Nyx working together to overpower the Olympians completely. The sun completely disappeared. I just stood there in the shadows, I was amazed. She just brought in night, the day seems to have just left. I'm guessing Hemera allowed this.
The shadows slowly moved apart, reveling, Tartarus in all his glory. "Hello Olympians," he mused. The Olympians were wrapped by shadows, preventing them from moving. They all paled. Tartarus' aura was simply intoxicating. He seemed have his own gravity as the darkness leaned towards him.
"Don't worry, I'm just here for something," he said. He walked over to the hearth and clenched his fist, causing a bright ball of fire to come out of it. It had a thin thread of flames connecting it to the hearth. I recognised it as the flame of the west. If Tartarus destroyed the flame, the gods would simply seize to exist. I was about to intervene when he used a dagger to cut the thread of fire. "There now," he said, "you Olympians are now rooted to America, no running away." He then disappeared into the darkness.
I smirked. The gods need to change their ways. If they become good, the coming war could be avoided. Knowing the Olympians, it would take a lot more time. I sighed to myself and teleported to the mansion of Night.
I popped up in the throne room. I sat on my throne and kept my hand on my mom's throne, trying to reach out to her. Hey mom, you there? I was hoping if I could talk to you about some things and ask you a few questions.
My mom appeared on her throne in a few moments." What is it Perseus?" She asked.
"What's the plan now? Should I oversee what the campers are doing or should I keep an eye on the Titans?"
"Child, I know what I'm about to say may anger you a bit, but it was what Chaos had ordered. You are required to reveal yourself to the campers and stay there until the Titans attack. You must see if they realise their faults and ask for your forgiveness." My mother Nyx said gently.

"Alright, but if I kill someone, no complaints," I said. "I will also be sending Zoë to confront the hunters and let them know what really happened so they may choose their sides."
Nyx smiled warmly, which is a rare moment. "Of course."
"When do I got there?" I asked.
"I suggest now," my mother advised.
I nodded and dissolved into the darkness.
I needed to make an entrance worthy of Zeus. I appeared out of the shadow of Thalia's pine tree. I wonder what old pinecone face thinks about me. I walked past Peleus, who simply opened an eye to see me pass through the border and then went back to sleep. Monsters and animals are so much more loyal than people. I'm pretty sure it time for dinner at the camp so I can make an amazing entrance. I locked away my powers because I didn't want to scare the younger campers.
I walked over to the dinning pavilion to see Jason, Piper, Annabeth, the immortal cabin councilors, campers along with Chiron and Dionysus having their dinner.
"Well, this is a pleasant reunion!" I exclaimed as I emerged out of the shadows, thunder booming above me. My friends immediately went for their weapons.
"What do you want Jackson?" Jason snarled.
I was hurt by the fact that he spoke to me like this. After all I had done for them...
"I come in peace," I announced. "Don't make me fight you, you know I can beat you all."
Annabeth snarled in a very unhumanly way. I was about to say something when Zoë popped out of the shadows and stood next to me. Some of the older campers and my friends gasped on seeing her.
Zoë mind messaged me, The hunters will be coming to camp in a short while, I thought I'd give you some company. Seeing all this must be bringing back memories. I smiled at her. "Thanks sis, and yeah this does bring back some memories."
Suddenly, there was a hunting horn. Thalia emerged from the bushes. "Lady Artemis has given us some grave news and we are here to let you know about it. We will also be staying here," she finished.
"Why hello there pinicone face," I said. Thalia turned towards me wide eyed and leaped towards me, ready to gut me with her knife. If it wasn't for my training with Erebus I would be sheesh kebab.
The hunter saw Zoë and I and started to whisper among themselves, some taking out weapons, others looking at Zoë questioningly.
"Why are you trying to kill me? Why does everyone here hate me?" I asked in a pissed tone. "Do any of you even know what happened or have you all been listening to the lies that the Olympians and the daughter of Athena have been feeding you?"
That got them, my friends all sneered, pointing their weapons at me. Zoë, being the amazing sister she is, snapped her fingers, successfully melting all of their weapons.
"I DID NOTHING. JUST BECAUSE I DECLINED IMMORTALITY TO HONOUR MY FALLEN FRIENDS, THE OLYMPIANS, BEING THE PARANOID LITTLE SHITS THEY ARE, DECIDED I'M A THREAT JUST BECAUSE OF MY POWER AND EXILED ME TO TARTARUS", I screamed. "AFTER ALL I DID FOR THEM AND YOU. YOU ALL DECIDED TO SIMPLY HEAR ONE SIDE OF THE STORY AND SWARMED ME IN THE THRONE ROOM. DID NONE OF YOU SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THAT MY FATAL FLAW WAS LOYALTY? DID NONE OF YOU EVEN REMEMBER ALL THOSE THINGS I DID FOR OLYMPUS?"
After I was done, the hunters looked at Zoë, "Do you seriously believe him?" One of the asked.
"I saw it with my own eyes," Zoë said. "I was pulled out from the stars and cast into Tartarus, simply because I was the daughter of a Titan. I fought countless wars for the hunt and the gods. They didn't even let me rest when I was physically dead! I would have died if it wasn't for mother Nyx."
The hunters looked shocked at that, "The Olympians would never do that," Thalia said.
I snarled, "look what they did to me Thals, tell me, do you even remember me for who I was?" I asked. "What even made you all think that way? Don't you remeber how the Olympians decided to vote on our lives after we saved Artemis? You think they're good? There's no good or bad her Thalia, there are just two sides, each wanting to be in power. This is what our world has come to."
I then proceeded to plant the memory of my whole life in the minds of the campers and hunters.
Thalia looked like she had just been kicked, she sniffled and hugged Zoë and me. The cabin councilors looking extremely guilty.
"And where was this reasoning when you all decided to ambush me in Olympus?" I asked with venom in my voice.
I walked away to the cabins. Then, from the depths of our power, Zoë and I made our cabin, the Night cabin appear out of thin air. "We will be staying here," I told the campers. "Do not attempt to approach the cabin. If you do, you will fade and fall into the Void.
We then walked into our cabin, making the door disappeared so that the untrustworthy campers can't get in. I then crashed upon my bunk, silently praying to my brother Hypnos to give me a dreamless sleep.

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.

Nouvelle chance dans la fantaisie.
Alors qu'il meurt trop tôt, un homme est envoyé vers un autre monde pour achever sa vie. Par la volonté du dieu de la chance, rien de moins, il a maintenant une nouvelle chance...dans un monde de fantaisie. Certains diraient que c'est un véritable cauchemar d'être ainsi envoyé loin de tout ce que l'on connait, pour lui...c'est un rêve qui devient réalité. (Pour ceux qui sont déjà lecteurs de mon histoire "new chance in fantasy", il s'agit ici de la traduction française. Je ne comptais pas vraiment en faire une au début mais certaines personnes auxquelles je tiens ne sont tout simplement pas assez habile en anglais pour lire "l'original". Etant donné que google traduction, mis à part pour une bonne tranche de rire, ne fera clairement pas l'affaire, je vais me faire un plaisir de traduire mon histoire ici. Si cela ne permet même qu'à une seule personne d'apprécier mon histoire alors qu'elle ne le pouvait pas en anglais, je pourrais me dire que ça valait le coup^^. ps: il est fort probable que les noms, et de personnages, et des attaques, restent en anglais. Je trouve que cela à plus de charme. Au cas où vous auriez le moindre soucis de compréhension, je me ferai un plaisir d'expliquer ce qu'elles veulent dire, mais ce ne seront pas des tirades shakespeariennes non plus, rassurez-vous^^.
