Chapter 29

Samuel POV

I woke up with head pounding 'what happened' I thought. Everything from the past day came back all the way up to me exploding "Holy!" I shouted. I looked down to see my still my body still intact and not even the least bit ghostly "How the Hades am I alive?" I said to no one in particular.

"Oh good you're awake." a tall man in black said walking into the room. At least I think it was a room, honestly the whole place just felt off.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Erebus god of darkness and your girlfriend's father and the beautiful lady in the corner is my wife Nyx".

"Come again?". I sputtered not sure what was weirder the fact that I'm in a room with two primordials or that they know who my girlfriend is.

"We should probably tell you that all primordials except Gaea, Tartarus, and Uranus all have the ability to see into the future. You haven't even been born yet but I can see the man you'll grow up to be and I am proud that you'll be my son in law." Nyx said.

"You mean she says yes?" I asked.

"Um um well." Nyx started to say before Erebus cut her off.

"Well there goes that secret." Erebus said.

"Sorry." Nyx said "I sometimes forget exactly how far in the future you're from.".

I nodded "Okay but where am I".

"You're in our palace, you needed a safe place to reform." Nyx said.

"Reform?". I said not liking how it sounded.

"Yes when Clytius hit you with that blast he undid Hera's spell thinking it would weaken you. He didn't understand what the magic actually did. Your body then exploded in an attempt to speed up the change from mortal to god." Erebus said. "And I do have to say I like the new look.". I gave him a puzzled look, he shook his head and summoned a mirror.

"Sometimes when mortals become gods your body physically changes to match your domains. That didn't happen to your father because he already embodied his domains. If your born a god said changes would happen as you grow.".

I looked in the mirror and all I have to say is I looked awesome. My facial features looked the same but my canines were longer, my hair even more unruly almost wild not to mention the silver flecks in it, and then there was my eyes. They had roughly the same with slight changes in color. My left eye looked like a sea illuminated by a winter moon while my right eye was like the moon reflected in that same sea.

Being the the smart guy that I am my first words "Whoa." and yes I did sound totally high. Erebus just started laughing.

"Sorry." I said sitting up a little straighter "Just wondering do you know what my domains are?".

"Well that actually part of the reason you're here." Nyx said "One was because I wanted to meet you on account of your relationship with my daughter and the rest is due to the fact that you are the god of night, you'll learn the rest later but for now that's all that matters. Traditionally gods would learn how to use their domains from their predecessors and as I am the only god of night to come before you I will be the one to train you. I would have preferred to take a full year to teach you everything but due to your particular circumstances I'll have to do this the fast way.".

As she finished Nyx put her hand on my forehead and I felt a rush of information followed by a massive headache "The rest will have come later but that should do for now. Now stand up your family is going need your help in a moment but first take these." she said handing me a piece of paper, a star'd cloak that actually looks like the night sky, and a set of car keys.

"The paper has Kronos' current location and the keys are a little surprise from me." Erebus said looking pleased with himself. "Just don't push the red button before you get back to your time. The cloak is the same one your mother gave you when you became her champion. We just fixed it and enchanted it so it can be either silver or star'd."

Erebus said as I put on the cloak "Just so you know if you hurt my daughter and I will kill you and if you don't have an actually wedding my wife will kill you, now be safe and good luck.".

My vision darkened and I felt like I was falling mixed with a little bit of shadow traveling. When my vision cleared I was on the beach behind two idiots and Triton was babbling something about immortals. The situation was pretty obvious because of the swords against the hunter and campers neck so I did the obvious thing. I pulled out my twin swords and stabbed them in the back.

"Who do you think you are?" Triton shouted at me.

"Triton I'm hurt, you can't even remember your own nephew." I said pulling down my hood.

I saw my family's eyes light up when the saw me while Triton's only held hate and disbelief "H-how are you still I SAW YOU DIE!" Triton shouted regaining his composer.

"Not exactly, you may have seen my body destroyed but no I didn't die." I said "In fact your little plan backfired on you completely. Instead of killing me you turned me into a god.". After a few very satisfying seconds of stunned looks Triton finally managed to speak up.

"That explains the new looks, guess I'll just have to settle for sending you and your sister to Tartarus." he said aiming his spear at Luna.

'Not a chance.' I thought closing the distance and driving a throwing knife into his side, pinning him to what is probable the only boulder on the beach. "Never threaten my family." I said twisting the knife.

I raised my sword aiming for his heart and Triton just laughed "I know you can't do it you nor your father can bring yourself to kill other descendants of Poseidon.".

I got within an inch of his face and said "True but there's one thing you've forgotten. You disowned us, all of us.", Since I'm not a fan torture I ran him through and watched him dissolve. Oceanus flashed in startling us all but he stayed just long enough to see Triton die before leaving with Khione.

Luna POV

I was practically screaming for joy in my head and I couldn't stop myself from running up to Sam and hugging. "Miss me?" he laughed hugging me back.

I pulled away just long enough to punch him in the chest then hugged him again "Never do anything like that again." I said.

"Sam!" Zoe shouted as she tackled us.

"Zoe what are you doing here? I thought Phoebe told you to stay in the infirmary." I said and of course Zoe just ignored me and hugged Sam tighter. I don't know how but Zoe has a way of reading people she probably already knew something was up.

The shadows started to collect a few feet away and Jace and the others popped out along with Grandpa Poseidon and Grandma Athena as well as Amphitrite who was out cold. "Um where's Triton." Jace asked.

"Beaten." I replied.

"Who are you?" Grandpa asked.

"Well that's kind of hard to explain" I said "We're.." I paused looking at Triton's former captive who were currently lying unconscious in the sand.

"We should should talk about this somewhere else." Sam said, he snapped his fingers and I had this sensation, it was like I was moving hundreds of miles per hour yet freezing.

We appeared in dad's palace "Everyone find a seat we've got a lot to talk about." Sam said. I know this may sound weird but looking at my brother now I felt like this was the real him, like his looks and the type of person he is finally matched rough, powerful, yet kind and comforting.

"Did you just shadow travel us here." Jace asked.

"Uh-huh" Sam replied fist bumping Jace.

Before anyone could ask how the Fates appeared with a very sick looking Drake"I hate time travel." he wheezed slumping to the floor.

"Time travel!" Grampa exclaimed.

"Please hold off on the questions till after we're done." the Fate on the left said. The three of them stopped in front of me and Sam "All hail Samuel Jackson, first born of Artemis, God of Night, Destruction, Wolves, and Winter.".

"All hail Luna Jackson first born of Perseus, Goddess of Forests, Rivers, and Time.".

"Okay clearly I've missed a few things, anyone care to bring me up to speed." Drake said from his spot on the floor.
