Percy Jackson's PoV
So what is up guys? Well, it's ya boi Percy here. And right now I am in front of the place where Grover was almost dragged down with the cursed winged shoes he wore which were given by my dear friend Luke when I was 12.
To elaborate on how I got here well, I bypassed the lane which was full of dead people. Then I got chased by skeleton soldiers which I assumed is their security or police here. Then I went to this place which I assumed was the entrance to Tartarus. Cause if I'm wrong I'll be hell diving without a parachute and end up with a splat.
"Man, if I die here it would be the end of me." I said to no one and realized how stupid my statement was.
Like it's literally the same! Ugh dam it, I'm getting sidetracked. Stupid ADHD!
Anyways, let's just get this over with. I tightened the strap of my backpack so it does not fall off.
"Wait a minute... Maybe I could shadow travel or fire travel to safely reach the bottom!" I said to no one, again.
"Brilliant, now focus Percy, and picture the place." I addressed myself in the third person.
I pictured Damasen's hut since that was one of the places which I consider as a safe haven in the wretched place called Tartarus.
But it didn't work, neither shadow traveling nor fire traveling works when wanting to get inside Tartarus. It seems like a powerful barrier is blocking me and is keeping me out. I could even assume that the barrier also prevents me from getting outside of Tartarus once I get inside.
I guess I'll have to go the hard way and hope that Cocytus is still beneath this entrance.
I backed away a few steps away from the sinkhole which leads to Tartarus and when I got a good distance I ran at full speed then jumped towards the hole while performing the most magnificent cannonball.
And when my descent began I shouted.
"GERONIMOOO!"
Third Person's PoV
OLYMPUS-
The gods were still assembled despite their meeting being adjourned quite early than expected.
They were no longer arguing but discussing plans in an organized fashion.
Then all of a sudden Hades stood up as if stunned by something. His action caused silence to the loud courtroom of the gods.
"Is something wrong brother?" Hestia who was beside Hades asked worriedly.
"Are you alright Hades?" Demeter asked.
"I just received a piece of news, and I think I should bring this up." Hades said as a cold sweat formed on his forehead.
"Is this regarding those power surges." Zeus asked curiously.
"Or is this about Perseus?" Poseidon said inching forward.
"It's about Perseus." Hades said finally. "Charon told me that Perseus visited the underworld."
"And?" Zeus said curiously.
"And it seems that he went to Tartarus." Hades said with grim.
"How do you know of this!?" Aphrodite shouted as she stood up, clearly distraught of what might happen to Percy.
"Well, one is I'm the God of the Underworld and two is that my skeletons spotted him." Hades said sarcastically.
"Did he just went now?" Poseidon asked.
"Yes." Hades answered.
Everyone that remained in the council was left speechless. Some are worried but some are happy. Then 15 minutes later.
A flash occurred and Athena and the others came back from the investigation. But by the looks on their faces, it seems that they have the answers or not.
"Lord Zeus, we have come to report." Athena said as she dipped her head.
"Go on." Zeus said.
"We didn't encounter anything on the various places that the energy spike occurred. Except for one place." Athena said.
"And where is it?" Zeus asked. And by now everyone on the council had their curiosity at the highest.
"Central Park. But I could not capture the man since he was fast and was gone even before I knew it." Athena said.
"How could that man outrun Hermes!? The literal Flash!?" Demeter said as if she could not believe it.
"Well, we were at Manhattan since we were investigating another energy spike." Hermes reasoned.
"Yes, and it was too late to call him. Or any backup." Athena said.
"Why did you go to Central Park though? Why didn't Artemis go?" Ares said as it baffled by their placements.
"Well, some idiots here thought it was fun if we had our assigned places be chosen randomly." Athena said as she glared at Hermes and Apollo intensely causing them to shrivel. "So I got Central Park, Artemis got the place near Percy's apartment and the idiotic duo got the dead-end alley located near the Empire state building."
"Oh, is that so." Was all Zeus said. "So what did you got?"
"Well, the powerful energy that we felt could be a dimensional distortion or a portal." Athena said as she came to a conclusion.
"Why do you say so, Athena?" Hera asked.
"Well, I just assumed. Since a person was thereafter the energy vanished after appearing instantly so I assumed he was the person that came out of the portal." Athena said her assumptions.
"About the man that you saw. What did he look like?" Ares asked.
"Well, he had a robe and the hood was up so I could not see his face but he was wearing a gray shirt and a camo pants as well as combat boots that the author forgot to mention." Athena reported.
"Who?" Hephaestus said, confused by what he just heard.
"No one." Athena said coolly.
"Did he have weapons?" Poseidon asked.
"Yes, he was brandishing his sword and was clearly confused about where he was, he also had a bow and a quiver full of arrows." Athena answered.
"How about the others? What did you find aside from the places you went to being empty." Zeus asked.
"Well, the place that we went to was really empty and nothing was left." Hermes answered.
"Okay, how about you Artemis?" Zeus asked.
"Well, no person was there but I noticed that there was an iced path as if a goddess of ice passed by it." Artemis reported.
"Are you saying Khione?" Hera asks.
"Possibly." Artemis said.
"Curse that upstart, what is she up to now?" Hera cussed.
"You can take your seats now. Thank you for your reports." Zeus said which made the gods and goddesses raise an eyebrow because they know many things about and him saying thank you was nearly impossible until now.
"Are you sick brother?" Poseidon and Hestia asked at the same time.
"What kind of stupid question is that? Of course not!" Zeus said, clearly irritated by his siblings' antics.
Then the gods continued their meeting and the gods that left to investigate were informed of Perseus well being causing them to sob a little due to the hardships their loved one is undergoing.
SOMEWHERE NEAR NEW ROME—
A tear in space occurred very far away from the other distortions, and out came a man wearing a purple t-shirt, pants, and a toga as well as a laurel on top of his head.
Unlike the others who came out of the portal, this man was composed and deadly calm.
"Now, where am I now?" The man said as he walked to survey the area and noticed he was near the Wolf House.
'Interesting, I was just in the middle of a senate meeting.' The man thought to himself.
He trekked the familiar path and arrived near the Wolf House. The wolves noticed him and alerted Lupa.
Lupa came out in her human form and inspected the man. Meanwhile, the man just looked at Lupa with an unreadable face.
"Who are you? You are not one of my cubs. Though you looked like the one I trained years ago." Lupa stated immediately.
"Oh come on now, no greetings?" The man said which irrated Lupa but she hid it well.
"Well aren't you harsh. Didn't you train me since I was 8?" The man said making Lupa confused.
"I don't remember you." Lupa said.
"Really? Hmm, is this related to the thing that sucked me here?" The man mumbled but Lupa heard him because of her enhanced hearing.
"Sucked you here?" Lupa asked curiously.
"Yeah, anyways. I'm going back to New Rome and see if something has changed." The man said as he began to walk away.
"Stop." Lupa commanded.
"Hmm?" The man halted and looked at Lupa.
"Before you proceed, I'd like to test you if you are worthy of serving New Rome." Lupa said and as if on cue, the wolves surrounded the man.
"Sigh, are you really underestimating me? You yourself should know that I really don't like it when I'm being underestimated." The man said with a calm demeanor, then he let loose of his killing intent which was strong enough to incapacitate Lupa's wolves
"Who are you!?" Lupa asked as she struggled to stand straight.
"Me? Well, I'm the Caesar of New Rome." The man grinned at Lupa which scared her even though she was a goddess that trained countless soldiers.
