Hey guys! DragonFire here. Like the sudden new book out of nowhere? Tell me in your reviews. Anyways, let's get right to it. This book has zero ties to the PJO and HOO Jack Edition storyline, so remember that. Also, I'll probably post one or two more chapters of this before I go back to PJO: TLT (Jack Edition) and write Chapter 5. Just a little variety. See ya! - DragonFire5218

Chaos's Chosen

Chapter 1: Regrets

Many died in the Second Giant War. Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter won, but with heavy casualties. All of the well known demigods died in the battle. All except one of them. Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, saviour of Olympus, twice. He had barely survived the battle himself. His own girlfriend, Annabeth Chase had blocked a spear coming towards his chest with her own body. She was hit in the heart, a fatal injury that killed her instantly. He went insane, killing monsters everywhere in his rage and sadness.

He was speared himself, so Apollo had to help him out and heal him since the Apollo cabin healers were out of commission. The gods finally managed to beat the giants and Gaea, but Percy went mad with grief. He declined godhood once more, and requested for Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter to be combined, to show that Greeks and Romans would finally get along. He was still haunted with memories of all of his dead friends from the war, so he decided to do something unthinkable, something so crazy that only someone whose loyalty stretch no bounds and had the most purest, righteous soul could ever do…

Percy's POV

I was walking around Camp Demigod, the newly christened name of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter together. I looked around at everything. It was beautiful, with Roman and Greek elements combined to make the best camp possible. But something was missing, and that was new campers. There hadn't been any demigods for a while after the war. I guess the gods are pretty depressed with all their children dying. The Fates could have never been crueler. The gods lose all their children, and I'm haunted by all their deaths until I die. I walked back into my cabin and sat down on my bed. I needed some time to think about all my friends. They all had died. Nico, Jason, Piper, Frank, Leo, Hazel and… Annabeth. She had took the spear for me. I wanted to use the physician's cure, but it got smashed in the midst of all the chaos when the Argo II got blown up from some giant cannonballs. One had hit the engine and it went up in flames. I could still remember all their dead bodies on the ground, and me not believing that they had all died. I closed my eyes as a tear slipped out of my eyes.

I had let more people die on my account, just like back in the Second Titan War and my quests before it. If only there was a way if I could bring them back, I would do it at any price. I caused many of their deaths. If not for me, they would still be alive today. Many had died for me. I got out of my cabin, ran outside and I started to shout at the Fates themselves. "How can you do this to me?! You take away all the important friends I have in my life and leave me here with their memories to haunt me for the rest of my life!? How cruel can you be!? Screw you!" I yelled. I'll admit, I wasn't thinking at the time. Yelling "Screw you!" at the Fates is probably a really bad idea, since, well… they are the guys who decide everybody's fate in the world. Right after I had my rage moment, I ran away into the woods, not heeding the looks other campers gave me. I ran through the woods for a while, until I stopped in a clearing next to a river. I stopped in the clearing, remembering that this was where Luke had betrayed me and Camp Half-Blood. But he was no traitor. He redeemed himself. I would remember him as a hero, no matter what others say. Suddenly, a bright light came out of nowhere in the middle of the clearing. It became brighter, so I covered my eyes as it shone even brighter. When it stopped, I opened my eyes to see the Fates standing before me. "Oh crap." I thought. "I'm dead." I guess the Fates got a little bit triggered when I said "Screw you!" at them.

"I- I didn't mean what I said." I told them, backing away into a tree. "I was just angry."

"We don't mean you any harm." said one of them. "We have come to give you an offer." "What is it?" I asked, curious. It's not everyday the Fates themselves come to you and give you an offer.

"We are giving you a chance to bring your friends back." another said.

"Wait, what?" I said. I had never heard of this before. "I can bring them all back?" I asked.

"Yes you can. But there is a price. A heavy price." said the last one.

"What is it? I'll pay any price to bring them back. It's my fault that they died. I wasn't strong enough. I couldn't save them. Tell me what I need to do. I'll do it." "We will tell you, but remember to think about it first. There's no turning back once you have made your decision." said the first one.

"You must sacrifice your soul. It will not go into the Underworld, but into the void itself, so you will cease to exist. That is the only way to bring back so many souls. It can bring back everyone back that had died, starting from your third quest to your last battle with Gaea. Make your decision." I just stood there, stunned. If I sacrificed my soul, I would bring everyone back, but my soul would be stuck in the void for all eternity.

"Is there a way for me to come back?" I asked.

"There would only be one way, and that is through our father, Chaos. He could interfere and bring you out of the void. Your friends would still come back as well. But no one has seen him for millennia. It is very unlikely." the last one said. I kept thinking. If I could save them all, I would do it. But then they would all be broken because of my sacrifice. After pondering for awhile, I finally made my decision.

"I'll do it." I said.

"Good." said the second one. They started to chant, and I just stood there, waiting for the chant to end. As the chant continued, I felt like my soul was breaking free from my body. I winced in pain as the chant continued. My vision slipped as the chanting started to fade. Once it stopped completely, my body crashed into the ground as my soul flew upwards, to the void. To Chaos.
