Prologue

He sat in the wilderness, feeling at peace, and at pain, he looked into the fire and thought back at what had happened millennia ago.

Flashback

A single figure stood in the middle of a throne room, beings fifteen feet tall sat in them, looking down on him, their aura of power seem to make the room hum with power.

"Do you know why you are here?" Zeus bellowed, his master bolt sparking with lightning.

"No." the figure said.

"You are accused of treason." Athena said glaring at him; no one noticed the smirk behind her eyes.

"What!" the man cried out in shock, "Treason to what?"

"You are a spy for Gaea and Kronos are you not?" Athena stated.

"I am not!" he growled at her, "How dare you accuse me after what I did for you all?"

"We are merely stating the truth." Athena declared, her chin in the air.

"Truth? Your mind of anger and hatred has blinded your eyes to the world." The man said glaring at the goddess.

"How dare you talk to me like that!" Athena bellowed.

"Because I saved all of you not once but multiple times from mortals and immortals alike, and you have the audacity to say I'm a traitor?" he growled.

"We have proof." Athena said as she waved her hand and a screen appeared in the middle of the throne room, images recorded on it. The image of the man, he walked into darkness, even through the recording the voice seem to draw light out from the room.

"Why have you come?" the deep voice asked him.

"I'm here to give you information." The man said.

"Why would you do that?" another voice said, this one more gravel but more lady like.

"Because I hate the Olympians." The man stated as though it was that simple.

"What about that Artemis?" the deep male voice said.

"Oh her? Just a play thing." The man said as he twiddled his thumb.

"Oh really?" the gravel voice asked him.

"Yup." He said as he looked around, "Look I need to go if you ever need information you now how to contact me." He said as he walked away, a booming laughter could be heard as the thing faded.

"Do you see now?" Athena asked them, Artemis had tears falling down her face.

"What? That never happened!" The man raged, "Athena why do you hate me so much? Tell me what have I done?"

"What have you done? You betrayed us; you played with Artemis's feelings and you lied to every single one of us here. Is that not enough?" she said grinning.

"I never did that I swear on the Styx." The man hissed at Athena, "I swear on the Styx that it is Athena trying to get me in trouble and –"

"How dare you accuse me?" Athena growled at him.

"How dare you accuse me of being a traitor when you are letting hatred blind you?" the man growled back.

"I should smite you now!" she screamed at him.

"Go ahead oh wise Athena." He said in mock.

"You –" She began.

"Enough!" Zeus thundered silencing the two of them.

"Apollo tell them was that video a lie?" he said not bothering to look at Apollo.

"Well … um … er …" he said stuttering.

"Apollo?" he said turning around and looking him in the eye betrayal shining through the mans red eyes, "Don't tell me …"

"It was the truth." Apollo finally manage to say not meeting the mans eyes.

"What! How could you? After everything I did for you and Artemis!" the man cried out to him.

"Did for me?" Artemis growled, "You played with my feelings boy." She sneered, her eyes betraying pain.

"Do you really think I would do that Artemis?" he asked her quietly, silence followed that question.

"I say to put him in Tartarus." Athena said suddenly, destroying the silence.

"I second this." Ares said.

"All in favor?" Zeus asked as twelve hands rose.

"What … why?" the man asked them quietly, he was on his knees now, "I thought you all knew me …" the man said tears streaming down his face.

"Ares shackle him." Zeus ordered. Ares shrunk down to human size only for the man to stand up and punch him in the face.

"You dare hit me mortal!" Ares bellowed.

"Yes." Was all the man said.

"Taste my blade fool!" Ares shouted as he lunged at the man, only for the man to block with a sword that seem to appear out of nowhere.

"Really Ares?" The man asked him, "You can't beat me." He said as he disarmed Ares, only for him to be pushed forwards by arrows raining down upon him. The man turned around and froze in shock seeing both Apollo and Artemis firing at him, their arrows bouncing off him as their blunt tip bruised him over and over again.

"Just leave." Artemis said as she shot him, "Just leave." She was crying.

The man was so shocked that he didn't hear Ares come up to him and shackle him with Celestial Bronze, "I win punk." The war god said.

"For betraying Olympus, you are now banished to the depths of Tartarus!" Zeus bellowed, his master bolt pointed at him.

"I, Poseidon, god of the sea's second this." Poseidon said as he pointed his trident at him.

"I, Hades, god of the underworld allow this to enter the domain of Tartarus." Hades said as he pointed his hand at him.

"Do you have any last words demigod?" Zeus said lightning sparking.

"I didn't do it, I thought that you would've been more level headed Poseidon, after I save you life, your wife's life and your child's life. I guess it wasn't enough. Artemis," he said turning to look at her, she couldn't meet his eyes, "I thought that you would've stayed by my side, I thought that you would've known I wouldn't do something like this, I guess I assume wrong, to think you actually cared for me." The man said with such venom in his voice, such pain, he glared at Athena, "I hope you are happy Athena." He said venom dripping.

"Oh much happier now that you get what you deserve." Athena said grinning evilly.

"I will have my revenge on you, mark my words Olympus, you have made me your enemy, I will not help Kronos nor Gaea but do not expect me to help you. Tell Chiron the truth Apollo. I know you know this isn't correct, that this is a lie, I thought you had better backbone then this." The man growled and screamed in pain as Zeus fired, so did Poseidon and Hades. The man screamed his skin glowing as a hole opened at his feet and he feel through it, his screams of pain ripped at Artemis's heart; the gods flashed out as Zeus dismissed the council.

Flashback end

He remembered his dream, watching the fight between Artemis and Apollo, his heart soften at the memory.

Flashback

"He didn't do it you know." Apollo finally said to Artemis when they were alone, "He would never do something like that."

"Then explain to me the video!" Artemis cried at him, "I don't want to believe it, but it happened!"

"It was false." Apollo said, "Athena did that."

"Wait … you're saying." Artemis said, her eyes brimming with tears again.

"Yes Artemis, we just condemned an innocent person, who saved us over and over again, to an eternity of torture." Apollo said, his normally cheerful demeanor gone, "And I'm sure the next time there is war, he won't help us."

"How do you know there will be war?" Artemis questioned, her voice soft.

"God of Prophecy at your service." Apollo said with no sarcasm at all, "He won't help us next time, why would he, we just condemned him."

"If that is true, why did you say yes to banishing him?" Artemis questioned him.

"Because if I didn't father would've killed every single on of your hunters!" he yelled.

"Wh-what." Artemis asked, not believing what she just heard.

"He would have followed it up, you know father, paranoid for power." Apollo growled.

"B-b-but h-he –"

"He didn't do anything Artemis." Apollo said sternly, "Athena came up with this, it is all her fault. All we can pray is that when the war comes, he will appear." Apollo said.

Artemis said nothing as she sat there silently and wept.

Flashback end

The man shook himself out of that memory, he didn't want to feel that pain again, she had actually thought he would hurt her, anger flared. The man looked a this hand, rolling up the sleeve, the black swirls that tattooed his arm but ignored that little part on his hand; he clenched his fist and the black swirls moved into his palm, a whirling shadow appeared in his hand and dispersed, in its place stood a sword the blade black as midnight with the edge seemingly milky white. The man smiled, the blade was frozen Soul Fire with parts of Primordial essence infused with it, the edges had been dipped in water from the Styx which had then frozen over it. The man then looked at his left hand and the exact same thing happen, an identical sword appeared, he thought back to when he had actually made the sword, his gaze lost in the fire once more.

Flashback

He was screaming as pain filled every part of his body, he could see the light seemingly to disappear as the hole from Olympus to Tartarus was closed. He landed with a crash creating a miniature crater, a rock cut his arm and look down his eyes widen and rage filled him. His blood was fully red, the normal golden red mix was gone, they had removed his immortality, and rage filled him how dare they take away his immortality, even if it was partial, after they had taken everything away from him. He sighed and got up only to find himself in a throne room, a red and black throne in front of him and in it sat a thirty-foot being his hands rested on the arms of the chair. The being lunged forwards in his hand a double handed sword, a whistling sound followed its trail in the air, the man back flipped away his hands reaching for a weapon that was not there, he cursed the gods again for taking his weapon, they wanted him to die. He looked at the being, his eyes narrowed and then widen at the realization of who it was.

"Olympians send an unarmed assassin against me?" the being roared, "Do they take me for a fool?" he bellowed, the force from that send him crashing into the walls of the throne room wall.

"I'm no assassin!" the man shouted at him.

"Of course." The being said as he charged forwards again his sword swinging in a deadly arch.

"I am no assassin!" the man shouted again as his hand came up and a force of energy surrounded him.

"What is this!" the being shouted as his sword rebounded off.

"I am the first mortal who has the ability to control energy, entirely." The man said grinning.

"So what!" the being roared.

"I think you know what Tartarus." The man said as he charged forwards, his right hand formed an energy blade.

"You will die mortal!" Tartarus bellowed as his sword came down to slash at the man, only for the man to swing his sword up and cut Tartarus's sword in half, the man ran up Tartarus's arm and swung the sword cutting his neck as he ran under the water fall of silver blood, Tartarus gurgled as ichor filled his throat. He cupped his hands and drank a little of it, partial immortality, the man grinned, he had taken back what was his in the first place. Quickly the mortal created a sphere of air vacuum and drained large quantities of the ichor, leaving the rest so that Tartarus could reform and do his job. The man grinned, this was good.

Line break

It had been thirty years since he was banished into the depths of Tartarus and another twenty years since he escaped and during that time he had been taken in by a being powerful enough to kill the gods, the man grinned; he had manage to do things that were deemed impossible, killing the Nemian Lion, catching Arion the steed, managing to slay Tempest the air spirit and his best feat, becoming the heir slayer to the Black Dragon. He looked around, his latest task was to create twin swords, seemed simple enough, only that the blade had to be infused with the blood of a Primordial and he had to somehow freeze Soul Fire, and then dunk it in the river Styx and again freeze that. He sighed, this was hard work. The man looked around and spotted something that he had missed, he grinned, yup that was it.

Flashback end

He shook his head looking away from the fire, his eyes going dry; he tensed, he'd heard something. Immediately the man jumped up his eyes darting around looking for an attack, a figure lunged forth from the tree shadows, he side stepped and smashed down with his elbow snapping the man in half as he sat back down. He turned and looked in a direction that he felt someone was watching, stretching his senses he knew no one else was there, it had to be a demigod. The man grinned as he felt the demigod's soul watch him as he slept, what was it called? Demigod dreams, the man looked at the direction and waved his hand over that direction, he felt the soul depart. He sighed, memories. He looked back to the other side of the fire for the first time in a while, there lay a child, son of Apollo by the look of it, the man sighed as he carried the child up the hill and gently lay him down on the hill, the border to Camp Half Blood. He turned around his eyes darting looking at the shadows, looking for anything, when nothing turned up he looked around again, his fire already dead, and he faded into the sky, his orange eyes bore the pain of a man betrayed by everything he loved; and then they too disappeared.

He opened his eyes and had to adjust to the lighting, heavy black clouds covered the sky, he looked around only to see Apollo fighting off a group Burning souls, they were basically spirits which were on fire, extremely annoying and impossible to kill unless you have a child of Apollo who could control the sun, which hasn't been seen in centuries, or having a son of Poseidon, neither was there so he had to stop it. He smiled thinly as he watched Apollo burn one to crisp and then get blasted back by the other ten. Apollo got to his feet, his chest was burnt and golden ichor flowed out of it. The man simply waved his hand from under the shadow and the spirits fires turn black before they disappeared, Apollo turned around to see where it had come from, only to see a pair of orange eyes as they faded away, they held such pain that Apollo felt as though he would die right then. Apollo fell to the ground, his hands splayed out in front of him, it was him, he was back, he couldn't believe it, he was back, after all they had did to him, after he and Artemis had betrayed him, he was back. Tears fell down his cheek, "Forgive me." He begged as rain fell from the sky, disguising his tears.

The man reappeared to watch as the Hunters of Artemis were fighting off a horde of monsters, he sighed, so close yet so far. The Hunters were shooting arrows and speeding through the monster army, hellhounds, Cyclops and a drakon surrounded the Hunters. The man simply shook his head in amazement that Artemis and her hunters had been surrounded, he thought, should he help her? He looked around and shrugged, might as well. He jumped down and the ground cracked under his legs, he could feel the Hunters aiming their bows at his back.

"Put down those bows Hunters if you want me to help you." He said, he smiled a little as he heard Artemis gasp, he was surprise, he didn't think that she remembered what he sounded like at all, he turned his head back wards and looked at Artemis in the eye, "Long time no see Artemis." He said, he then turned back at the monsters and mumbled softly that no one could hear besides Artemis, "No one touches her, no one." He smiled sadly as he heard her gasp again, he lit his left hand with Soul Flame and swung, a wave of flames went forth from his hand, incinerating everything that it touched.

"Wait!" she cried running towards him before he could disappear.

"I'm sorry Artemis." He said as he looked at her, "I'm sorry." He said as he faded away, his eyes, those orange eyes looked at her with such pain and longing that Artemis fell to her knees, sobs escaping her lips as she cried, the first time in a millennia, pain ripped through her body.

"No I'm sorry, she said tears falling down her face, "I'm so so sorry." The Hunters stood off to the side, unsure what to do, their leader, their head figure, was broken and they did not know what to do.

Unknown to them the man was still there at the tree line, just out of sight, "I'm sorry Artemis, I'm sorry." He whispered one last time before he disappeared again.

Line break

Artemis lead her hunters to Camp Half Blood, her aura sad, her Hunters seem down, she looked up to see Apollo, his cheerful demeanor gone and in replace a face of sadness, regret and longing to right what was wrong was there. Both knew they were thinking of the same person, only one person like that could affect them like this. The other gods slowly flashed into Camp Half Blood, each taking a single look at the twins before pain, shock and confusion lit their faces.

"M-my lo-lord Ze-Zeus …" a little girl asked up hugging her teddy bear closer to her chest.

"Yes?" Zeus said not paying attention to her at all.

"Wh-why ar-are y-yo-you all he-here?" she asked.

"Because Artemis and Apollo called us." Zeus said looking at the child, causing her to yell and scurry back to the campers.

Suddenly Artemis and Apollo's head perked up, they could feel it, that powerful aura that rivaled if not surpassed theirs, they look to Athena too see a look of disbelief on it, "It can't be. He's dead." She whispered over and over again trying to convince herself.

Artemis and Apollo just stood there excitement and fear running through them, "Do you think he'll …" Artemis trailed off.

"He still loves you." Apollo said, his playful demeanor gone entirely, "He loves you." He said again.

Artemis blushed, "But we banished him." she said, causing many campers to look at her in confusion. But before Apollo could respond they saw him, a single figure walking down the hill, he wore a T-shirt, his black sweat pants was lose around his legs allowing him to move freely, he wore sneakers and on his hands were two gloves, each one allowing the finger tips to show, black spirals could be seen circling around his arm from the glove to his elbow, the T-shirt did nothing to hide it, his bright orange eyes looked at all of them, pain and betrayal right behind them.

"Who are you?" a boy demanded, it took Artemis a second before realizing it was Jarred, son of Poseidon.

"Me?" the man asked, all the gods were shocked, the campers didn't notice this.

"Yes you, are you stupid or something?" another girl spoke up, her blond hair and blue eyes looked at him with a gaze that would've send most people running, but all he did was look at her and she flinched. He just looked around starting and glaring at all the god's faces.

"Oi answer her!" another voice cried out at him, the girl had dark hazel hair and near black eyes.

"Who are you people?" the man asked them.

"How dare you ask us when you come in here!" Jarred yelled at him.

"Who are you?" the man said looking at Jarred and causing him to cower before the mans eyes.

"I am Jarred son of Zeus, and one of the three Saviors of Olympus." Jarred said proudly his nose in the air as lightning sparked and arched around him.

"I am Tyler daughter of Poseidon and one of the three Saviors of Olympus." Tyler said water danced around her hands.

"I am Alicia daughter of Hades and one of the three Saviors of Olympus." Alicia said as a dark aura surrounded her.

"Now tell me who you are." Jarred demanded.

"No." the man said.

"No?" Jarred asked him back, fuming, "You dare say no to me? I saved Olympus what have you done I bet you haven't even done anything good for this world, you don't even have a weapon you are a worthless –"

"Enough." The man said in a normal voice, Jarred shut up, he could feel the power behind that voice, "Sit down and stop bragging about what you have done, there are people who are better then you and done more then you." The man sneered.

"How dare you talk to him like that?" Tyler and Alicia demanded.

"And what relation do you have to him?" the man asked bemused.

"We are his girlfriends." Both girls said glaring at him.

"Good for you now go join your boyfriend there." The man said as he flicked his wrist and sent the two girls crashing into the boy.

"Don't you dare treat Tyler that way!" a girl shouted at him, her blond hair and grey calculating eyes flared his anger.
"Shut up and sit down spawn of Athena." The man growled.

"Or what?" the girl demanded from him.

"Or I force you." The man said turning away from her, as she gulped and sat down.

"How dare you show yourself back here again after what you –" Athena began.

"Shut up Athena before I kill you." The man said his anger rolled of him in waves that shocked many people.

"You cannot order me around! I am a goddess." She declared proudly.

"Still as proud as ever Athena, and the proud must fall." The man said as he flicked his left wrist at Athena, a jet of black singed Athena's left arm, her cry of pain shocked the gods even more.

"How dare you!" Athena hissed at him.

"Because you betrayed me even after everything I did!" he bellowed as he looked at her full on, causing her to flinch and take a step back, "It is all you fault!" he said with silent fury. Athena, like her child gulped and sat down, "Weak, like child like mother I guess." He said with venom and disdain in his voice.

"W-who a-are y-yo-you?" a little girl asked him her eyes wide.

The man chuckled as he squat down so he was the little girls height, "What is your name little one?" he asked kindly.

"Maria." The little girl said turning side-to-side and hiding behind her teddy bear.

"Don't worry Maria don't fear me I wont hurt you, I promise." He said looking at her.

"Promise?" her eyes going as wide as dinner plates.

"Promise." The man said as the little child squealed before running back into the crowd.

"You didn't answer her question!" Jarred growled at him, standing up now.

"Which was?" the man asked him.

"Who are you?!" Jarred growled again, he hated being played around with.

The man merely smirked, he looked around at the gods and said nine words that cause all the gods to go white, "I am Perseus Jackson the first god slayer wielder." Everyone looked at him, "But you can just call me Percy."
