I sighed before looking back at Artemis, "you're a lucky bitch today, but next time don't count on surviving." With that said I flung Artemis towards the campers and my teammates who were all staring at me in shock as Artemis hit a tree. As soon as she hit the tree it cracked and broke as Artemis crumpled to the ground and I opened a portal and left, Eris following behind me.

~~3RD Person POV~~
After Eris stepped out of the portal into the main room of the mansion the portal closed. Lucifer was standing in front of his master and was looking at being as Eris stood next to him, the being emitted a lot of power. More power than a Titan, which Lucifer quickly figured out it was a primordial but didn't know who. "Good job Lucifer and Eris, but you could've drawn out the fight a little bit longer with Artemis. We can't let the gods know just how well you are now can we?" The being said looking down at the tall demi-titan (titan? or demi-primordial? I'm not sure which I should go with yet. But I'll let y'all know soon.) who in turn just raised an eyebrow at the being.
"Really? Against that glorified cavewoman with a bow? By the time she was ready to fight me she was going solely off of anger. That fight was me taking my time, and I was holding back. If I wanted to I could have left her within an inch of her life, literally, in 3 minutes." Lucifer told the being as he crossed his arms, already having enough of the person's attitude. The person didn't say anything for a bit before nodding. "Be that as it may, still good work you may leave Lucifer but Eris you stay, I need to have a word with you alone." Lucifer nodded before walking away and leaving the room, not fully closing the doors behind him unbeknownst to the other two.
Eris bowed to the being before looking up at it "What do you wish to speak about master?" She asked the cloaked figure, "I need you to keep an eye on him, I don't think he's fully on our side yet. So when you can, keep sewing the discord in his mind and if possible do it while he's sleeping." The person told Eris who in response gulped nervously before nodding. "As you wish master, and I will have more monsters ready as soon as possible." The being nodded before motioning for her to leave and she did so rather quickly to figure out what to do.
~~Lucifer's POV~~
After the primordial was done talking to Eris I quickly teleported to my room and sat down on my bed. "Dammit, what am I going to do? I can't keep holding her magic back, and how am I going to rescue my mother?" I asked to no one as I laid down on my bed, trying to come up with a plan. I laid there thinking for gods know how long and I slowly fell asleep, as I was sleeping I dreamt that I was in the primordial throne room. I walked around for a bit before Chaos appeared in his throne and I looked at him. He was in his 15' human/primordial form, he had tan skin, pitch black hair that was slicked back, a black three piece suit that had galaxies on it, and a black tie that was the same way with a white button up shirt and black dress shoes.
"Lucifer, this is not a dream well it is but it isn't, but that's not important. Look, I know you hate the gods but what you're doing right now will not end well for anyone. You need get your head straight and fight against that being, not join him." Chaos spoke as I looked up at him, I bowed slightly to him before sighing and shaking my head. "Yes I know Chaos, I'm trying to figure out who it is, and I'm trying to save my mother from it. But look, I need either Nyx's or Tartarus' blessing, Eris is here and she's trying to make absolutely sure I'm on their side. I need away to regain energy because being down here in Tartarus (being in Tartarus and hoping to get the blessing of Tartarus, how fun) I can't get enough fast enough. I can keep repelling her magic but I have to let some in to make her think it's working and I can feel it working very slowly." Chaos nodded in response and took a few minutes before replying, "Alright I'll think of something, just hold her off as long as you can until then. But for now I must go, before anyone gets suspicious." I woke up and shot up into a sitting position as I took a few deep breaths. Holy fuck, he has to stop with that stuff, makes me go into a fucking death state when he does. I thought to myself as I looked around my room, it wasn't bad, it was big enough for a queen sized bed, a nice big tv, a walk in closet on one side of the room, and a connected bathroom on the other side.
I got up and stretched with a yawn before stripping as I walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on. As I waited for the water to warm up I checked myself out in the mirror, I had three long scars running from my right shoulder, across my chest diagonally, going to under my left pectoral. I had gained a bit more muscle mass over the year as I also had 8-pack abs and nicely muscled calves and legs. My back had all sorts of scars from many battles and from once being captured on purpose and tortured for a mission. I touched the scar that ran over my right eye and I winced slightly as it still hurt sometimes, once the water was hot enough I jumped in and started washing my body. Afterwards I got out and dried off my hair a bit before wrapping a towel around me and walked into my bedroom to find Eris sitting on my bed, who blushed slightly after looking at me and scanning my body.
I walked over in front of her and crossed my arms, as I looked down at her. "What do you want Eris? I've told you before that you're not allowed in unless it's something serious, or unless master needs me." She continued eye fucking me for a bit before responding and looked up at me. "Oh but it is serious, I know you're teammates nicknamed you beast, and I was just wondering how you" by this time she had her hands on my stomach and were sliding them down to my towel slowly. "Got that nickname, like if you really are a beast, or if you're a beast in bed." With that she pulled my towel off, only to be disappointed to see that I had boxers on and I smirked down at her. "Better luck next time short stack, now get out before I throw you out." With that she huffed before standing up and walked out, slamming the door in the process. (What did you really think I was going to do a sex scene ya perverts? Well, I might, I might not, you'll have to wait and see ;))
~~3RD Person POV~~
It has been a week since the battle and Artemis still isn't completely healed from the one sided fight. All the gods were in the throne room, even Artemis who was wincing here and there. Max, James, Elisa, and Luna was standing in the middle of the room, looking at a pissed off Zeus. The god was looking down at the figures in the room, he was pissed but also had a bit of nervousness for the four powerful figures. "Where is Lucifer and why aren't you all looking for him so he can be punished rightfully so for attacking a god!?" Zeus screamed/asked to which Luna replied.
"First off Zeus, we don't know where he is or how to even find him. Second, we're not looking for him because you can't boss us around, we're only here because our bosses said so. Third, he will not be punished for what he did, it was a fair fight albeit one sided. So you can fuck off and stop trying to tell us what to do we're here to take care of the threat and leave, that's it. We will take care of Lucifer if and when he gets in the way so don't try to command us to do anything, you are in no position of power over us." Luna crossed her arms as the other three nodded in agreement, even though it may seem Lucifer has joined the other side they know deep down that he hasn't.
Zeus' face was red with anger but he didn't say anything as he didn't want to be on their boss's bad side. The throne room was silent for a few moments before Athena spoke up, "Moving on, what do you four suppose we should do now? We clearly don't stand a chance now with Lucifer on the bad side, and seeing as he nearly killed Artemis it's obvious that he can, and if given the chance, kill us." She looked down at the four beings as they looked up at her. "Your best bet right now is to apologize for all you have done to him and to everyone else like him. He may not forgive you all, hell he'll probably want to beat the shit out of y'all before he even thinks about it. But, if you all actually start being better gods and start caring that will be the step in the right direction and there may be less wars." Elisa spoke up, looking at the gods who looked surprised at what she just said.
With that said the four people left as the gods were left speechless in the throne room. Back at camp Half-Blood the team walked into the big house and into the main room and looked over the map of the camp. They were talking about defenses for the next attack, after a while they sighed before looking at each other. "What are we gonna do about Lucifer? It's going to take all of us and at least a few gods to just subdue him without killing him." Max spoke up first, looking at the others they shrugged before looking back down at the map. "We'll deal with Lucifer the next time he shows, but we need to be ready and possibly have one or two gods with us just in case." James said before looking at everyone and they all nodded before leaving the big house to go do whatever they wanted to.
Back in the throne room of the primordials, they were discussing what was going on down on earth as the room started to get colder and darker, making everyone quiet down. After a few moments a tall cloaked figure appeared out of the shadows in the middle of the throne room, he radiated a lot of power, just as much as Chaos and Order, if not more. The figure looked around before looking at Chaos, "Hello brother, how are all of you doing today?" The being spoke with venom in his voice to which Chaos replied with just as much venom. "Hello Abyss long time no see. What brings you here today?" The being, now known as Abyss lowered his hood, revealing a pale face with two long scars over each eye, his eyes were pitch black as if looking into an abyss. His head was completely bald along with the rest of his face, his nose looked as if it had been broken multiple times, his teeth were yellow and crooked as he had a sinister/psychotic smile on his face. "Oh I thought I'd just stop by and say how much I'm loving my time on earth, and that once I'm done with it, you all are next."

And with that I'll leave you all with a cliffy. I hope y'all like this chapter and can help me decide on what Lucifer should be, Demi-Titan, Titan, or Demi-Primordial? Anyways as usual, have a good night/day!
