《Perseus Jackson: The Last Stand》I visit some friends
Advertisement
After my 'talk' with Nyx, I felt bored and decided to see what End and Destruction were up to.
I teleported to the throne room and found the two and Chaos in female form playing rock paper scissors. The minute they saw me, they started to talk animatedly, using their hands, with each other.
"Are you guys sure you aren't six year olds?" I questioned, trying to hold in my laughter.
"What makes you think so, Perseus?" Chaos asked with a straight face.
"Oh, I don't know, I replied. "Maybe just the fact that three super powerful beings were playing a three way rock paper scissors match with each other without inviting me?" I asked.
"Sorry?" Chaos said uncertainty.
"Sorry doesn't cut it," I exclaimed. "I was stuck in an alternate universe for six hours and you lot are enjoying yourselves here?"
Destruction burst out laughing at that. "Noob," she chuckled.
I growled under my breath.
"Alright, mature up kids," End said.
"Look who's talking," Chaos mumbled under her breath.
"What was that Chaos?" End thundered. "Wait till I get my hands on you. I'll scatter your remains across the void." The two then dissolved into stars and started to chaise each other inside the throne room, before whisking off thought the Void. Destruction grumbled under her breath about immature sisters, before turning towards me.
"So how was the alternate universe?" She asked, suppressing smile.
"Weird and now out of bounds," I replied glumly, recollecting Nyx preventing me from any more interdimensional travel.
Destruction mumbled something about kids and disappeared in a violent flash of red.
I shrugged to myself and teleported to Earth. I sat down on the beach and looked over at the vast expanse of the ocean. It was one of the places near which I always felt calm and could think.
I remembered all my days with Annabeth and Grover, when we used to sit down on the beach and look out to sea, recollecting all our adventures.
Some part of me still missed those days.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt someone sit down next to me.

I almost had a heart attack when I saw who it was. It's pretty obvious, knowing my luck. It was Annabeth Chase.
Unlike the Annabeth from the other universe, this one had a crazy look in her eyes.
"Miss those days don't you, seaweed brain?" She asked, leaning onto me.
I was feeling extremely uncomfortable and weary, as she had tried to kill me around five or more times already.
"What do you want?" I asked, gruffly.
She just kept quite and continued to lean on my shoulder. I was getting seriously freaked out by this behaviour. To preserve my own sanity, I dissolved into my shadow and reappeared in front of Frank, who freaked out and turned into a rhinoceros.
"Sup Frank?
The rhinoceros changed back to the good old Chinese Canadian baby man and gave me a wave.
"Nothing much. How about you?" He asked, trying to look as if he wasn't freaking out but failing miserably.
"The usual," I replied, trying to sound casual and not as if I had just recently been zapped into an alternate reality and had an encounter with my crazy ex.
"Well see you around Praedo," he said, giving me a cheeky wave, before running out.
I teleported myself to camp half-blood and walked into the forest, looking for someone in particular. I found him sleeping under a tree, snoring softly.
"Sup G-man?" I shouted.
The poor Satyr jumped out of his hooves and stared at me with a wild look in his eyes. When he focused on me, he eyes widened and his jaw fell open.
"Peeercyy," he bleated and hugged me fiercely.
"Percy, the gods are helping. They're helping the planet. They're helping us clean up and stopping humans from getting out of hand." He said eagerly, but his face fell once again. "The North African white rhino went extinct though," he said, sniffling.
I nodded and hugged friend close. "I know man, fifty three poached," I said shaking my head sadly.
"Gaia managed to save only two," I stated. "She went on a rampage. If it hadn't been for Ananke and Ourea, humans would be extinct by now."

Grover looked at me with wide eyes. "She saved two?" He asked shocked. "Those two could save the population," he said, jumping with joy. "I've got to let uncle Ferdinand and Mythas know. They're planning on leading an expedition along with Gleeson to bomb the so called wild life preservation organisations, who do nothing but make money and sit on their asses," he said, with a wild look in his eyes.
"Thanks for telling me Percy," he said gratefully.
I nodded to him and watched him running out of the forest, shouting the names of the two other Satyrs.
"Sup Perce," a voice said behind me, making me jump out of my skin. On instinct, I uncapped riptide and leveled it on the other person's throat. I quickly put it away when I realized that it was Jason. Silly me.
"Well, at least we know his reflexes are on point," another voice spoke from behind me, making me jump once a again. I looked around and saw that it was Luke. The two them burst out laughing.
"Very funny guys," I muttered, "very funny."
"Care to spar?" Luke asked.
"Sure why not? Jason you in?" I asked the blonde.
"Yep," he replied, pulling out his Gladius and running off towards the arena, while Luke and I sprinted after him.
"Powers allowed or not?" I asked.
"No powers for you. Just skill," Jason replied, taking a few test swings with his Gladius.
A tattoo on Luke's forearm with a swirling Galaxy glowed black and a sword formed in Luke's hand.
I uncapped riptide and took a relaxed stance. Once upon a time, these two would have been a serious challenge. Luke could probably still whoop my rear end if he tried. Now after my skilled based training with Erebus and stamina boost along with an increase in pain endurance from Algos, I was feeling confident.
"The two of you versus me," I said.
"Cocky are we Percy?" Luke said with a sly smile on his face.
I grinned back at him, waving my sword for him to attack me.
He charged me and feinted to the left, went right and slashed to my left once again. I was surprised by his speed and agility until I remembered that he was blessed by Chaos.
My ADHD kicked in and I observed Jason flying towards me while I parried a stab from Luke.
I switched Riptide to my left hand and wielded the Stygian Iron sword I got from the mansion of night in my right hand. It had actually been lying around in my room when I found it. Mother said that weapons always litter the house everywhere. She tries to ask the others to clean up, but they never do. Sorry, ADHD, concentrate!
I spun around and blocked Jason's strike with riptide and gave a powerful blow on Luke's sword with my other sword.
Luke fell back from the force of the Stygian Iron sword as it was covered in shadows, which amplified the power of the hit. I slashed towards blonde Superman, who veered away and crashed onto the ground, loosing his sword in the process. Luke came at me once more and we exchanged hits. He then performed the disarming move he'd taught me and my Stygian Iron sword flew out of my hands.
Give me a name for the Stygian Iron sword.
As Luke wasted time bringing his hand back to a defensive position, I used riptide's hilt and smashed it onto his hilt, making him drop it.
I then leveled my sword to his throat, waiting for him to yield.
"I yield," he relented.
"That was fun," I replied. "You good old man?" I asked Jason.
"Yeah, just pulled my back during the fall," he replied, wincing slightly.
I pulled him up and patted him down.
"Well, see you guys around," I said. I needed to get back to my Primordial work. That stuff isn't easy. Still easier than mortal jobs though.

Elrich Saga Yellow Springs Book One
A young college student gets killed and accidentally saves the world. As thanks, a group of gods decide to give him a second life. They send him to Elrich, a world with monsters, demons, and where adventures await. However, his goddess liaison is a bit of an airhead and messed up his reincarnation. What sort of place awaits him in this world full of danger and uncertainty?This world is harsh, not at all the fantasy fluff and harems he'd imagined. Will he be able to keep his sanity with death around every corner? This story has LGBTQ friendly themes. It touches on drug use, child molestation, rape, children committing murder, death sentencing as a form of punishment, and questioning one's sexual identity. There are some harsh themes, since this is meant to be a harsh world. Some themes touch upon the MC directly, the others happen to secondary characters. I try not to go into too graphic of detail and I believe that this story is 16+ friendly. I promise that these themes tie together in the end to make a cohesive whole and are used to provide back story for later developments.
