Child of Chaos (2)

-The other campers can't believe Percy lost a fight. Jason tries next. Some reslut hough less water and more wind and lightning -The gods are freaking out after seeing this. If the boy would ever get pissed, he could destroy them in a heartbeat -After Percy and Jason have recovered from their fights (and patched up their torn clothes) they look for the boy again -The next day the campers get not woken up by Apollo blasting Firework by Katy Perry while riding through the sky, but a rather large explosion. Turns out, Jason and Percy have sneaked out to train with the boy. Unfortunatly the resulting explosion blows some trees apart, almost sets the forrest abalze and shredds their clothes -After a few days life becomes somewhat normal. Some campers (mostly from the Ares cabine) decided to make it their morning routine to challenge the boy to a fight. None of them can land even a scratch on him (he doesn't even use his powers but doesn't dare to bruise their ego more than their bodies) -Percy and Jason start to train their powers even more, trying to grow even more. The images of Tartarus are coming back to Percy and Annabeth more frequently -The boy has his own cabin deep in the woods (as much as the other campers like him, they still fear him) and is sometimes seen sitting on the roof alone or patching up his wounds. Will once tried to heal them but they repelled him and caused a similar wound on his chest. It hurt liek hell but closed itself within seconds. He didn't tell the others though that he also saw parts of the ritual -Some campers swear that some nights they hear the woods shake and tremble. No one believes them until on night a child of Demeter goes missing. They find her the next morning, pale and expressionless. Her mind was shattered -They figure out that she was walking in the woods at night and the gods see their chance. They demand that Chiron exiles the boy, he is too dangerous. Chiron tries to reason with them but Zeus makes him. They march to the cabin. It has been burned down. The boy is gone. -The life of a child of Chaos is filled with misery and loneliness. The boy knows that. He watches as the gods and campers search the woods, passing by him but not seeing him. He can warp space and hides, watches. He knew what he had done, it was an accident but he know noone believes him. So he decides to leave -The next morning the screaming of the daughter of Demeter wakes the Camp up. No one knows how she regained her memories but what she tells them about that night makes them wna to lose their. She saw how the chest of the boy cracked open, his heart almost like a black hole and pure madness stitching him back together. They wonder in how much pain the boy was -Years go by and no one ever sees the boy. Percy and Annabeth are grown up, Jason long dead and only Chiron is still in the Camp, now guardingthe new generation of half gods, including the children of Percy and Annabeth. One day the walk in the woods when they see an old cabine, almost falling apart. They wonder and enter and see a boy standing in the charred and broken ruins, looking like he lost something -When he sees the two children he is flooded with their memories. He might not have aged physically, but he has a better controll of his powers. He plucks a piece of burned wood from the ground, presses it and a diamond is all that is left. He gives it to the kids before leaving -When the show CHiron the diamond he calls Percy and Annabeth. They arrive in an hour. The diamond shows the face of the boy when looking into it. He is still young, but his eyes look old, sad and lonely. -The gods hear about the diamond and turn pale. They have scowered the earth and have never foud a sign of the boy, yet he lives, right under their nose. They fear the day he will come. Come for them. Because he will.

Child of Chaos

-Chaos can't give birth to a human child, you are chosen to carry his powers

-If you want to be able to withstand his powers, you need to follow some steps: 1. Submerge yourself in the river Styx. Go down to the ground of the river. Your anker? Your humanity itself. No person, no place, no thing. It has to be your humanity itself. 2. Cut open your chest with a knife made from the same metal as the scythe of Thanatos. You will be in immense pain but not die. 3. Cut the sigil of Chaos in your heart. Yes, you have to stab your heart and cut a symbol into it. 4. If you are still counscious: good job. Now focus on that symbol. Imagine opening a gate, the symbol being the place behind the gate and let Chaos come through. Focus on your humanity to contain it inside your body. 5. Get out of the river.

-The powers of the other gods are dwarfed by Chaos. Percy can control water? Nope, no more. A snap of the finger and he drowns. Jason wants to strike you with lightning? Sorry mate, but your brain fries itself before you even blink. Plants grow and fight, darkness forms your weapon. -The child of Chaos is madness itself. It can barely contain its own powers and the gods are helpless. -He simply shows up one day and chaos errupts. Even the gods come down because the pre-immortal power that can destroy anything has come to the place where all of their kids are. This is the worst case scenario. -He knows what he has done but he is not really willing to fight anyone (the gods, especially Zeus don't trust him) -He simply wants to watch the other half gods and asks for permission to enter the Camp -The other campers are either freaking out or trying to check out his powers (Chiron is trying his best to not get him pissed or the lake will be filled with the childrens blood) -He is rather docile, barely speaks up and almost tries to hide -He has scars so large and deep averyone wonders if he was cut into two and stitched together by a blind man with razor wire -He agrees to limit his power to a millipercent and the gods ask Argus to keep his eyes on him. Now Argus is running around the Camp as well following the boy -He is sitting most of the time alone atop the hill overlooking the Camp and trying to meditate and heal his wounds -Percy and the rest decide one day to approach him. It goes surprisingly well until Leo asks him about the scars. Everyone fears for the worst. -He starts to tell his story, what he had to do to himself to get those powers. Half way through Will vomits, Piper runs away crying and Percy goes pale. Annabeth doesn't say a word for a day before she starts bawling her eyeballs out -The entire camp now fears him, some heared only parts but what they heared is so unsettling that Hypnos is put to work for some extra shifts -When they want to play "Capture the flag" some camper from the Hermes cabin asks if the boy is playing as well. Chiron looks at Argus, Argus noods but requests that he is not allowed to go over the limit. The boy agrees and is in the opposing team to Percy -The game is a horror show. Percy was almost drowned and Jason is still trying to calm Annabeth down. Some campers are crouched under the trees, trying to hide from the madness infecting the campers. The childern of Nemesis are somehow not affected and are trying their best to coax them out. The boy is nowhere to be seen. He comes back seven days later. After that no one ever asks if he wants to partake in any activity -Isolation is the most loyal companion for the Child of Chaos. Even the children of Nemesis struggle to block out the boy's powers but ironically it helps them to gain control of their powers. They start to ask him for help when they want to train their powers because the boy has literally no power limit. The children of Nemesis get better and even the godess herself come for a visit and watches them -Some other campers start to follow the children of Nemesis when the visit the boy. They are still terrified but the idea of getting stronger is tempting. A daughter of Demeter is the first to dare to ask him for help. He hears her out and gives some actual advise, surprising the others. He is, after all, the Child of Chaos, a power encompassing everything -After a few more days more campers ask the boy for help, still careful, yet not more hiding when seeing him. He helps most of them until Percy stomps up the hill, still pissed for almost being drowned (he takes that as a personal insult). "You. Me. Fight. NOW!" he demands -The fight ends as expected. Percy doesn't drown this time but after almost an hour he is drenched in water, has a red cheek (a fish dared to slap him across the face) and is covered in small cuts while the other boy is perfectly dry, smiling slightly and even pets the karp Henry like a dog (Percy is even more pissed at that because he was the best mate at Herny's wedding last year).
