Chương 107: Chapter 104: So, what have you been doing?
The red hot air made the group immortals feel sick, true. Nyx was used to Tartarus and Hemera was immune to heat, being the primordial of day and all. Yet it made them feel sick. Along with the fact that they had to drag/guide a struggling primorial with them wasn't making it any better.
Hemera held by his right arm while Nyx had taken his left arm.
"Stop struggling." Nyx snapped as Aether when he suddenly had a spasm attack. Nyx accidently dropped Aether and he fell face down on the red glass that was littered all over the place.
Aether let out a coarse scream. Hemera quickly pulled him up while Nyx cursed.
"Damit! Just stop struggling!" Nyx yelled in Aether's ear.
Hemera glared at Nyx, "He's not in control." she said while trying to balance Aether.
Aether groaned and muttered, "The sky-The chariot."
Nyx stepped forward and helped Hemera guide Aether. "Don't worry my dear." Hemera whispered while she kissed Aether's forehead. "We'll fix you soon enough."
Then she shot a glare at Nyx, "You better hope it works."
Nyx sighed, "Trust me. This will work."
She then turned to Aether, "Come on boy, just a few miles."
Together they struggled through the hellish landscape of Tartarus.

(Magnus POV)
We let Percy have the rest of the goat meat as we exchanged stories.
Halfway through Percy's explanation, Sam shot out of her seat with a look of utter shock on her face.
"You had to escape from Nidhogg?!" said Sam, in surprise.
"Yeah," answered Percy, casually.
"Geez," said Blitzen, "The entirety of Norse mythology seems to have a personal grudge against you, kid."
It's probably because he's a Greek. Signed Hearthstone
"So," I interrupted, "You managed to evade, Nidhogg was it, and used the World Tree to meet up with us using plant teleportation?"
"Sounds about right," said Percy.
"Anything else you want to clarify?" I asked.
"Nope."
I shrugged, seeing no further reason to question him. Sam, however, lowered her gaze to stare at him, as if she could tell he was hiding something else.
"Well then," said Percy, cutting me off from my thoughts, "I have one, very important question regarding your story."
We all slightly leaned forward, curious to hear what Percy had to ask.
"Is this the best goat meat or what?" said Percy, grinning like a doofus.
Sam was the first one to groan, "I'm turning in for the night,"
"Wait, don't we still have a plan to, you know, plan?" I asked.
"We can come up with one in the morning," said Sam, "Not to worry Magnus, none of this is your fault. I simply think it would be better to discuss after a good night's rest."
"I guess you're right…" I mumbled.
"Besides," Sam looked over at Percy, "I think it would be best to leave him to his food, which he seems to think is more important than the fate of the world."
With that, she walked past a door that presumably led to the room we would be sleeping in for the night.
"Wow," said Blitzen after what had happened, "Is she always this cold to you?"
"She is!" exclaimed Percy,
To be honest, you do provoke her, though. Signed Hearthstone.
At that, Percy crossed his arms and pouted his face like a little child.
"If we're going to be working together, we have to have a good synergy." I said
"Percy, can you promise that you'll try to get along with Sam?" I pleaded.
"Fine." He grudgingly accepted.
"Well, with that settled," said Blitzen, yawning, "I think I'll be the second to turn it in for the night. Goodnight…"
Blitzen would've fallen out of his chair if Hearthstone hadn't scooped him up.
We are both very exhausted from the recent events. Signed Hearthstone with difficulty, especially with Blitzen.
I nodded, knowing exactly what he meant. Without Blitzen, we never would have made it as far as we have, and that's excluding the workshop battle. And Hearthstone, without him, we might as well be dead.
I felt sorry that I'm going to have to keep pushing them both for my sake.
"Thank you both," I say, wholeheartedly, "I hope you get the best of sleep."
You too, Signed Hearthstone while nodding as he rounded the corner and disappeared.
"I might as well do the same." said Percy, grabbing my attention.
Judging by how he got up from the table, and the multiple little cuts he had, there was no doubt that he had been through some stuff as well.
"You coming?" asked Percy.
"Yeah," I answered, getting up to catch up to him.
As we headed for our own rooms, I couldn't help but think of how I was the unspoken leader of this team. Though it was never said, everyone looked to me as the bridge to connect their differences.
From a (fired)Valkyrie who knows of the Norse world, Percy with as many secrets as a villian from Sherlock, and me and my friends.
And all because I had the Sword of Summer.
The pendant of Jack pulsed lowly on my neck, the various runes shifting from green, to pink, to a deep red.
Perhaps tomorrow, I'd ask Jack how he felt about my father.
"Mmm, Riptide." Jack murmured slowly.
As I laid down, though I was an atheist, I murmured a low prayer to my father.
Because, as of late, we could all use a stroke of luck.
...
(Percy POV)
As I closed my eyes I heard a cheerful voice in my head said, 'I'm back!'
Chaos had a proud smile on her face. And yes, I know I technically couldn't see her but I just knew she had a smug smile.
'Chaos? You're back!' I mentally cried out.
I had really missed Chaos, true the creator of the universe might be a little bit eccentric but she had grown on me. Like a mother figure, or a dog.
'Missed me?' Chaos asked.
'You wish.' I said sarcastically, though I couldn't stop a smile breaking through.
Chaos let out a greek curse, 'Damit, fixing the black hole took a lot from me.'
'Black hole?' I asked confused.
'We messed up,' Chaos said, 'In clear words, we broke reality.'
I was not sure if she was joking or not, so I asked; 'What do you mean?'
'Well, when your shield and Magnus' word clashed. You created a paradox. I tried to fix it but we might have caused some troubles.'
'What kind of troubles?' I asked concerned.
Chaos shrugged, 'Honestly I have no idea, we broke reality pretty hard. Maybe we randomly teleported a few people across time and space. Maybe we broke time, for all I know the devil herself could be after you.'
'Herself?'
'Anyway,' Chaos said ignoring my point, 'I don't know. Just keep your eye out for aberrations.'
'Got it.' I replied.
'For now,' Chaos said, 'Just try to rest a little. We got a long climb ahead of us tomorrow.'
'Good night Chaos.'
