《Perseus Jackson: A New Purpose》The Visitor
Advertisement
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of voices. I thought I'd asked Zoë not to allow anyone in other than one of our siblings or someone sent by the Primordials into the cabin.
I looked at the bunk opposite to me to find Zoë and a girl who looked a lot like mom talking. Zoë looked at me and smirked. "The sleeper awakes", she mused. I reached up to wipe away some drool. "This is Hayami, she's a daughter of Nyx and Erebus."
"Pleased to meet you", Hayami said. "I haven't seen you before", I said.
"Oh!", she giggled, "that's because I was locked up in my room by mom for umm.... certain reasons."
I smirked at that, mom can give some serious punishments. "So...who sent you?"
"Dad", she said. "Something about watching over you guys so you don't bring darkness over this planet."
Zoë nodded, "She is also the goddess of torture and specialist of magic, trained by Hecate herself."
"Cool", I said. Hecate doesn't normally teach people magic so this is sorta special. I'm also guessing that like any child of Nyx and Erebus, she also has powers over the darkness and shadows.
"Alright", Zoë said, "we need to go to the dinning pavilion for breakfast."
We walked out of walls of our cabin, scaring the underworld out of Nico, who seemed to have set up camp outside our cabin.
I looked at him questioningly. "Look Percy, I get why you're mad at Annabeth, but why me and the rest of the seven?"
I glared at him, "you were all present when the gods threw me out, yet you didn't say a thing. You were too proud to step up for a mortal weren't you? You forgot about me. Now that I'm powerful and important in order for you to win the war, you want me back." A crowd of campers had gathered around us. "None of you deserve any of my attention. I'm here under the orders of my mother. I will not be helping you in the war against the Giants and Titans."

"Who's that?" Annabeth asked pointing at Hayami, "She has no right to be in here."
I smirked, "She has the right to be anywhere in the universe", I said, "Kneel before Lady Hayami, the goddess of tortures and daughter of Night and Erebus." The campers all kneeled. All but my ex-friends. I could see Hayami was pissed, so I flicked my finger, letting her know she can do as she pleases. She created two blades of pure darkness and threw them at the immortals, causing them to teleport away to heal themselves.
"These campers are pathetic", Hayami said, "they only respect beings with power."
"Yep", I confirmed. "The gods are worse, they despise those more powerful than them."
As we entered the dinning pavilion, Mr.D, stood up."Get out Peter! Take your escorts and return to the dump you came from. "I laughed, "This escort Dionysus is a goddess of horrors and I suggest you apologise to her before she decides to erase you from existence."
He snorted, "This is my camp, she has no power here."
I sighed, "Have you ever dealt with a child of Night before, pest?" I asked. He stood up, causing grape wines to start crawling around us. Hayami seemed to be done with playing around. Her body levitated off the ground, all around her was an aura of darkness that would make any amature mistake her for Nyx. As she released her built up power, the grape wines disintegrated. Her very presence seemed to make Dionysus look like an ant compared to her, who was leaking darkness. "Enjoy Tartarus, little bug", she said in an extremely menacing tone that sent shivers up my spine. As she said that, the wine gods body disappeared into the shadows with a panicked scream.
The campers looked at her in shock.
All of a sudden, thunder boomed and in a flash, the Olympians minus the wine dude stood before us.
"You", Zeus spat. "What did you do to Dionysus?"
I smirked, "He disrespected my friend, who also happens to be the goddess of tortures. She just sent him to Tartarus for him to learn his lesson."

"Without even a snap of her fingers", Chiron added.
The gods all pointed there weapons at Hayami who just shrugged and flicked her fingers, binding the Olympians in Stigian Iron chains. "This is our business. We are not fighting in the war or helping. We are not spying. We're here keep an eye on you and maintain a balance of power. Don't anger me or I'll send you to my uncle as well."
Ares looked confused, "Who is your uncle, why should I the greatest warrior of Olympus and God of war be afraid of your uncle?"
"Idiot", Athena hissed at Ares, "Her uncle is Tartarus." It was to late for him to take it back now. I watched with a sick fascination as the war god's form flickered and he was sent into Tartarus.
Hayami then snapped her fingers, sending the gods back to their dump. "Percy", Annabeth said, "If you know about the war, tell us the enemy's plans and at least train us."
I looked at her in disgust, "Don't call me that name, it's Perseus, nothing else. And we're here just to keep an eye on you. We don't care about what happens to you or if your race perishes." She looked as if she had been slapped and was speechless.
The three of us walked on into the pavilion. "There's no table for Nyx", Jason said. Zoë simply waved and a table appeared at the centre, a little away from the fire. We then grabbed our plates and sacrificed some of our food to the Primordials.
After we finished our meal, we went towards the arena to practice and whoop the campers' butts. "Percy, I need to go, the other Primordials are calling", Hayami said in my head.
"Ok, see ya later", I replied.
We entered the arena to find Jason defeating some kids at sword fighting. When he saw us enter, he raised his arms, showing off. "Come on Jackson, I challenge you to a duel."
I shrugged, "Why not?"
"Why are you at camp anyways?" I asked, "aren't you guys supposed to be on Olympus?"
"We were asked to help the train the demigods as we are the best", he said with a confident smirk.
"Let's see about that shall we Grace?" I asked as I created a well balanced sword for myself from the shadows.
He took out his Gladius and charged me. I decided that he needed to put in his place. As he slashed at me, I blocked his strike and hit him in the head with the hilt of my blade. He dropped on the ground, out cold from the impact of my single move.
The demigods looked at me in awe. I don't think they have ever seen anyone as skilled as Jason be defeated in just one move.
As Jason recovered, he looked at me with pure hatred in his eyes. "You all hate me don't you?" I asked in an amused tone. "Tell me, what did I ever do to any of you for you to hate me so much?" The demigods looked among themselves in confusion.
Piper came to their rescue, "Since you're so good with the sword, why don't you help us?" It was heavily laced with charmspeak.
I saw the eyes of all the kids in the arena glace over. She thought she'd swayed me, but I just laughed, "Your charmspeak won't work me daughter of Aphrodite. I've already stated my purpose."
With that I walked away to the archery range where Zoë was nailing bullseyes, one after the other. I took about ten shots before calling quits. My archery had improved by a lot but I didn't feel like letting the campers know that I had learnt even archery.
I then made myself a black throne and levitated in the air, watching the pathetic campers 'train'. It was truly entertaining. At this rate, there was no hope for them in winning the war.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
