บท 91: Aether and Hemera
(On Olympus)
"Do you feel that Lord Zeus?" Hera said, emphasizing the Lord.
The Olympians all say in their thrones, Argen's accomplices in chains in the middle of the floor and camp half blood circling around them as they awaited judgement.
"Tiamat? You mean the Abyssal Dragon?" Mordred said in shock, he'd only heard of the dragon in legends and fairytales, but with a little more thought he supposed it made sense it existed considering he was surrounded by a bunch of beings he never thought to be real.
"Artemis your spawn is infinitely more annoying than I could have ever imagined…" Zeus grimaced, standing from his throne and looking down at Kratos.
"Surprised to see you here, and not using your power? Such a terrible use of my seed," Zeus said as lightning struck him, his armor appearing strapped on him and his lightning bolt in his hand.
"Gods of Olympus! Half-Bloods! We are now fighting for existence rather than our lives! Tiamat was a being sealed away long ago because she can decide the rules of the world. How Argentum managed to summon her I'm not sure, but do not go into this battle expecting to live, it's time to end this terrorists life once and for all, hopefully Tiamat leaves with him-"
"Stop that!" A voice yelled. "You fucking bastard! Stop calling him a terrorist!" Megan yelled, fury in her eyes as she readied a spell.
"Woah Woah!" Percy said, stepping in front of the enraged girl as Annabeth joined him, followed by Thalia Grace.
"Megan what's gotten into you?" Annabeth questioned, a shocked look on her face.
"Argen has done nothing wrong, the truth is Zeus wants to get rid of him only because Artemis is his mother! I've been talking with some of the spirits, you just want to get rid of Argen to make up for your daughters mistake!"
No one said anything.
It had been revealed Artemis had a child to the demigods, but for many of the Olympians this was the first time hearing it.
"The terrorist is the son of Artemis?" Athena said with a confused expression as you could practically see the gears in her mind turning trying to process that information.
"How does she still have her immortality?"
Zeus clenched his jaw before pointing his lightning bolt. "Your mistake has cost a lot covering up daughter, there's nothing else we can do," He said, casting an angry glance toward Aphrodite.
Artemis didn't say anything, but the hunters all stood in front of her minus Thalia, bows out as if they were prepared for battle.
"Lady Artemis has done nothing wrong," Zoe Nightshade said, "Her lady was tricked by the witch Aphrodite!" Zoe exclaimed, aiming her bow at said goddess as Olympus yelled in unison.
"Everyone quiet!" A voice pierced through the noise, quieting the gods, hunters, and demigods as they all turned toward the voice.
"The truth is, I was tricked, not only by Aphrodite, but also someone much more dangerous… Since before we were born there was evil. Beings called Devils… They are our enemy, and Argen's father is one of them."
Artemis began to explain the king tale of Argen, all of his origin, adventures, and true goals, which she knew due to his numerous subconscious prayers to her that she listened to anytime she was feeling down.
…
"Reign Havoc Tiamat, devour the void and reset the rules of the world... I have someone to meet."
"Do you think we're done son?" Valefar said, not even glancing at Tiamat, who broke out of the crack in the sky, diving down and grabbing devils and spraying energy everywhere, it's screech shaking the heavens.
"You have lost relevance... Go live a useless life and die, there's no reason for me to kill you anymore," Argen said, turning his back on his father.
"You... You dare!" Valefar yelled, lunging at Argen with his mouth open wide.
"Stop," Argen coughed, the metallic taste of blood flooding his mouth as he gave the command, he needed to act fast before his body gave out. He could finally rewrite the laws of the world, and with Tiamat's help, the history.
His selfish plan, the plan he'd began thinking up the day he'd lost Law, was finally a possibility.
Valefar was suspended in the air, frozen in time due to Argen's command, using such abilities was beginning to have its toll on Argen's mortal body. Though he wasn't supposed to be able to die in normal circumstances, he could feel his very soul burning each time he used godly or demonic abilities of his predecessors.
"How… Long?" Valefar said, moving sluggishly in the air as Argen coughed up a little blood, wiping it on his shirt and turning away.
"Long enough to keep you there until I see her…"
Valefar didn't respond, only continuing to struggle as the devils screams echoed in Argen's ears, Tiamat's judgement not to be laughed at.
Argen walked many miles, but it didn't feel like much to him after everything he'd done.
"Law, I know you're here somewhere, your soul was damned to hell, so I'm here to free it," Argen said, walking farther and repeating Law's name over and over again, yelling, screaming as Tiamat's rage grew more feint with each passing second.
"Law…" Argen said as he got down on one knee, breathing heavily. Asfalis had helped heal and replace the dead parts of his soul, but it could only help so much.
"I'm here Argen."
Argen widened his eyes as he felt the warm arms clasp around his neck, the small head of his friend pressing into him as her legs wrapped around him.
"Ah… I missed you," He said, staring down at Tiamat as she flew through the sky, chasing the stray demons.
"Yes I know… I've been watching you when I could, but this place is weird, and you know…"
"Yes, you don't have to explain, I'm just glad you're here… Do you know what I mean to do?"
Argen threw the question out there, his eyelids heavy as he felt law hold onto him tighter.
"I do, and I'll help you however I can, no matter the sacrifice… but Argen, are you in any shape to try this? What more can you sacrifice to change the world?"
Argen sat in silence for a second before standing up and turning around, looking at the smiling man made of shadow, accompanied by a red skinned orange haired woman, who smiled brightly at him, though he eyes showed fear, brokenness, and misery.
"What more do I have to give up? What more do I have to sacrifice? The truth is Law, if it means changing all this… I'll even give my very existence…"
Aether smirked at Argen.
"Truly? So much pain you have boy, you'd make a great god… If you truly wish to visit the creator you're going to have to beat me… you understand this correct?"
Aether crouched, the whispy shadow of a man spreading around Argen, darkening the area before the boy held his hand up.
"Not with law,"
"I see now Argen, yes I'll help you, I see what you want! It's in reach!" Law said as her spirit glowed, her pupils infinity symbols as she made a gesture with both her hands, light flooding the entire area, enveloping all of hell in one swift motion.
"I, Lawmaker of the realm use my 2nd knot to change this law, people no longer need to beat Aether, Guardian of the void, the entrance to the gates of Heaven, in order to gain council with the creator…"
Law spread her arms out, clapping her hands as her pupils returned to normal and she dropped down onto Argen's back again, her spirity body fading and being replaced with a solid flesh and bones one.
"This is my last Argen, and I'll use it for you vision…"
Aether stood there, shock clearly expressed on his shadowy face as Hemera smiled, her eyes full of hope as she looked at Argen.
"You…" Aether paused, "are granted entry, Who knew an Original would be around, thought they had all been used up by now, how lucky" Aether said as he looked at Law as Argen walked past him, carrying the girl on his back.
"My blessing was not wasted on you my chosen, go, make the world a fair place, rid it of unnecessary misery, and live the life you deserve.
Argen paused as he looked at Hemera.
"Lady Hemera, I thank you for protecting me throughout these years, with this council I will make things right, you do not deserve to be forced into marriage with someone who will only abuse you for the rest of eternity… there are a lot of people suffering, and I plan to make this all right."
With this Argen looked at the golden steps in the gate that Aether had opened. "Finally," He said to himself as he stepped on the first step, plopping down as his consciousness was yanked elsewhere.
"Ah… Welcome at last young anomaly, I have watched your journey, now you are here…" A man with a face Argen couldn't make out said as he towered over him. "Now speak, what is it you want?"
——
So scratch what I said before. Any extra things would have been drawing out the story more, There will probably be at most 5 chapters left.
