   Nothing more fun that charging at a giant figure, who also happens to be a primordial.

   I ran towards Tartarus and he did the same. When in range, he swung his large scythe at me. I bent back and it barely missed me. I ran forward and before he could swing again, slashed at his leg.

   The sword easily cut through the coffin sized boots and into the skin, leaving a huge gash that started bleeding a blackish-red-silver liquid. The hellfire of the sword charred the area and some weird kind of smell filled the air.

   Tartarus roared in pain and kicked me with his giant foot. I was sent flying and I was pretty sure that I would have broken a few bones, had I not braced myself with my wings.

   I got up and patted the dust off my clothes. I decided to get serious. With a huge flap of my wings I took into the air and hovered a few meters away from Tartarus's face-like vortex.

   Tartarus let out another roar before trying of snatch me out of the air. I just sped towards him and prepared to end the battle. I flew under his arms and over his shoulder.

   I flew behind Tartarus and thrust The Sword Of Eden to where his heart would be, from behind. Tartarus roared in pain before the ground started to tear open.

   Black smoke escaped from Tartarus's maw and he started dissolving. A bright red light emitted from him and he started to shrink down.

   In a few seconds...a whimpering, frail-looking body on the ground was all that was left of Tartarus. I looked around and saw that the entire monster army was gone and dust flew through the wind. 

   I noticed that the demons were standing a little away, watching my fight with Tartarus with a smirk. I smiled and them and they bowed their head. I rolled my eyes at the bowing and turned towards the body that was Tartarus.

   I approached him and observed that his form was burnt in various places. I grabbed him by the neck and supplied some of my powers to him. His wounds healed and his eyes opened.

   He started to choke on my hold and I let him go. He was strong enough to walk, but if he tried to attack me, he would lose badly.

   "So...you gonna tell me where Hell is now? Or do you need convincing?" I asked lighting my hand on hellfire. Tartarus looked at it fearfully before nodding furiously.

   "Chaos's realm...that's where Hell begins." He said and my eyes widened a bit. The last time I had been there, the experience wasn't pleasant, with nix trying to kill me and all.

   "You must go to the mansion of night. Only through that can you find a passage that will let you travel between existences. But know this, the gateway is a threshold for powers that I couldn't dream of. Not even I dare to enter through the gateway. The gateway will drive you insane." He said in a tone filled with fear.

   "Very well Tartarus. Leave, I will not let you again. And make sure to keep monsters away from my path." I said with authority. Tartarus nodded and dissolved into the ground into black smoke and cinders.

   "My Prince, that fight was indeed one to watch." One of the demon stepped forth and said.

   "Please, don't call me My Prince or anything. Just Percy is fine" I said. The demon smiled and spoke.

   "Di furorial was right, you indeed are modest. He told us of your conversation when you summoned him to the camp of the Greeks" he said and I nodded. 'Di furorial' I must talk to him sometime.

   "Tell us one thing Percy, is it true?" Asked the demon. I raised an eyebrow.

   "Is what true?" I asked. "That you fought the Archangel Uriel and won and also have been chosen by The Sword of Eden?" The demon asked.
