《Perseus Jackson: A New Order》I'm Omnipresent and we have a new threat
Advertisement
Once the meeting was over, the Primordials all teleported away, leaving me on my throne to test out my new powers as a Primordial. I was able to look into the lives of any mortal, demigod, monster, Titan or god on the Earth. I was quite creeped out by it.
I watched the son of Poseidon who I saved who's name I figured out was Noah Freshet. A lot of the campers were weary around him because he had been saved by me. He seemed to be doing well enough so I switched my attention to my domain. Every now and then, I noticed Ananke or the Fates intervening and changing the course of actions. I started to influence the minds of corrupted people and put in pure thoughts in their minds. Everyone deserved a second chance and because of this belief, millions of humans' lives changed for the better.
The remaining Olympians were doing a good job by making people take care of the earth. Poseidon had started to clean the oceans and punish those who dirtied it. Hermes had reduced the usage of plastic worldwide. Hades and Hestia were protecting forests and wildlife along with Grover, who was ecstatic when he heard that I was alive and was bringing up a change in Earth. Apollo and Hephaestus were working together to reduce pollution in the air and soil.
The humans were listening to the gods without them even knowing it and we're bringing up a change for the better. Despite being slow, the Earth was healing. It was tantalizingly slow but it was still progress. I sat on my throne for approximately a week, keeping an eye on mortals and bring about a balance in the world. Slowly but surely, one day there will be order on the Earth and in time, the entire universe and Void.

I then looked at what progress Artemis had made and surprisingly, she had learnt her lesson. Her first step had been to go to camp half-blood. There, she helped train demigods and treated them all equally. I decided not to be evil and returned her immortality to her. She would realize once she awakens. I also brought back her hunters and placed them in the Artemis cabin along with their mistress.
Holding grudges was not possible for me and even if it was, it's not right. I was the Primordial of balance and order. Once someone pays for their crimes and learns their lesson, they are a clean slate in my book.
I got up from my throne to teleport to my room and almost collapsed from how tired I was. I realised that spending so much time drawing power form my domains drained me.
I sat back down on my throne and watched things progress in the earth. Every now and then, a demigod would pray to a god for help but would receive nothing. I was tempted to help them in every step but I didn't. I knew the consequences of interfering. It would disrupt the balance in the universe and anger the Fates. I wasn't someone who wanted three angry grandmas after me.
Every once in a while, the place a throne was supposed be in, would tremble or flash with lightning. I suspected that it signified when a Primordial was angry or using their powers. I still needed to ask mom about this.
As I was watching a group of demigods go on a quest, Chronos and Ananke flashed in along with their thrones and looked at each other in worry.
"You felt that too?" Chronos asked Ananke.
She nodded, "Something powerful and unpredictable just entered the known part of the Void." They looked at each other in fear.

"What?" I asked them. As I asked the question, I felt something wrong with the balance. It was too much power and it was kept unchecked. They nodded knowingly. It was not hiding itself anymore. Almost as if it wanted to be found.
Tartarus flashed in with his throne, looking worried. "It's very malevolent. So much like the power of Chaos but much more unpredictable," he stated.
A lot other Primordials flashed in. Nyx, Erebus, Aether, Hemera, Pontus, Hydros, Thalasa, Gaia, Ourea, Ouranous and Chaos were present. The thrones of other Primordials like Hypnos and Eros flashed in. I'm guessing that their thrones being there was part of their consciousness so they could listen to what we were going to do about the new power in the Void.
Aether nudged me from his throne. "The thing knows where it's going and is using light to travel. It's not lost like any other foreign thing in the Void."
Chronos leaned in towards us, nodding. "I'm not able to use time to slow it down either," he said, looking very worried. Everything in existence was effected by time.
I wasn't even able to track the being or object, let alone try and stop it.
"I'm not able to transport it here," Chaos said, looking extremely puzzled.
"It's not effected by darkness or shadows," Nyx said.
"I need some help," Ananke said to me and Chronos. "Give me some of your energy." Chronos leaned over and touched her throne. I got up and did the same, willing some of my energy to move into the throne. As I did that, Ananke glowed and as she did, a vision was formed in front of us. It showed us a a being of some sort, surrounded by light, travelling through the Void. It had almost reached the edge of the known universe. We knew it wouldn't get through. You needed permission from a Primordial to enter. Without it, you would fall back into the Void. It was very confusing but I knew it needed permission to enter.
We watched as it neared the border. As expected, it crashed into the protective shield. It then tumbled back into the Void.
"What was that?" Ourea asked, looking at chaos, fear evident in her voice. I was afraid too. It avoided the powers of all the Primordials.
"Whatever it was, it was not one of my creations," Chaos said.
"Then what was it?" Gaia asked.
Chaos shrugged. "The void is filled with many forces. Whatever it was, it wanted to get through into the other side of the Void."
"Should we go out into the unknown parts of the Void and search for it?" Erebus asked.
"No. Absolutely not," Chaos said. "The Void is never ending and whatever that was, it could be anywhere. I will not risk any of you going there. Despite the Void being ours, it is dangerous to venture so deep into it."
We nodded. "I want all of you to stay alert and I want someone to always keep an eye on Void. Tartarus, Erebus and Nyx especially." They nodded and the entire council flashed away.
"We need to tell the others," mother said to me as we appeared on the same spot of the mansion. I nodded and walked off towards the dinning area where everyone would probably be. They needed to know about this. It was both exciting and scary at the same time.

Jeremy Finds A Dragon
Jeremy, a teenage boy with a freakish talent for the clarinet, is less than thrilled when his mom announces that they’re up and moving to a tiny village on a tiny Scottish island the summer before his senior year of high school. But Dunsegall turns out to be an okay sort of place, if you like cliffs, sheep, and small-batch ice cream made by a family obsessed with Ray Charles. Two teenage locals — Colin and Aggie — quickly pull Jeremy under their wing and decide to give him a summer he’ll never forget. Everything is mostly fine until one day, in the depths of the woods, they stumble across a two hundred year-old monk and a living, breathing — or, rather, snoring — dragon who need their help. Together, Jer, Col, and Aggie delve into the hidden history of the island, getting up to their elbows in heresy, Highland Games, and, somehow, romance.

They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.
