    Threadmarks: Chapter 11

    CHAPTER 11 The ride down from Olympus was strangely mundane. For all the pomp surrounding the throne room (the assembled Olympians, the prophecy, Zeus handing down a quest that would probably decide the fate of Western civilisation) we still ended up having to wait for the elevator. When...

    Son of Kaos (PJO Chaos Gacha)

    I understand where you're coming from but that feels a bit too unserious for this fic. Most of the protogenoi are antagonists, or so vast and alien that they don't bother with humanity or inadvertently cause them harm. Also most of the primordials are either asleep or chilling in their own...

    Yeesh, not sure even [Councelling Mastery] can deal with the aneurysm she'll get from that... The power of therapy triumphs yet again! This was something I ran into when writing the quest, but then again, in canon Zeus lost the symbol of his power and a weapon comparable to a nuke in...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 10

    CHAPTER 10 The words hung heavily over the assembly and for several seconds, nobody moved. Athena still stood half-risen from her throne. Hermes' perpetual smile had vanished without a trace. Apollo stared at the Three Sisters with an expression I couldn't quite decipher, though I was fairly...

    I'm kinda glad at this point that I have a rule that Ethan cannot roll a Familiar ticket. So Servants won't show up in this story. ... now they'll definitely not show up in this story.... I'm leaning very heavily towards yes, as Ananke would be a similar void-born being to Ethan, but...

    Son of Kaos (PJO Chaos Gacha)

    Woah, that's... a lot to unpack. I even understood some of those words. Funnily enough (and mild spoilers here) but Orion will actually feature in Arc 2 of this story. Might be something there to draw from, we'll see. While I like the idea of keeping Kaos as the ultimate beginning of...

    Son of Kaos (PJO Chaos Gacha)

    In mythology, there are different backstories for the Fates depending on the writer (as is the case for just about everything else, so that tracks). The older account from Hesiod states they are daughters of Nyx and Erebus and determine even the fate of the gods. They are thus sisters of Keres...

    Can you explain this part a bit more? Is it because you begin to pre-emptively qualify for the requirements to break the curse?

    Son of Kaos (PJO Chaos Gacha)

    Lol, I gotta say (over on SB as well) I didn't expect people to be this 'on sight' with the evil ass grandma's 😅 I feel like I gotta calibrate everyone's enthusiasm, Ethan's not going to punch an old lady in the face next chapter. However, considering how people are chomping at the bit for...

    CHAPTER 9 The next morning found me standing in front of Cabin Number Nine, having spent the night in the forest since I didn’t feel like overcrowding the Hermes cabin even further. It had been surprisingly comfortable thanks to [Nature’s Embrace] and all of the aches and pains from the past...

    Ouch... well, they do say the primary purpose of all art is to evoke emotions, the more visceral the better so... thanks for the compliment?

    Son of Kaos (PJO Chaos Gacha)

    I flip-flopped on this for a long time. In fact, I heavily leaned towards gold as well before ultimately deciding against it for a few reasons. Yes, breaking an Olympian's nose in a straight up brawl is hella impressive to show how much stronger he is compared to his fight against Cercyon, but...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 8

    Chapter 8 By the time I finally reached the beach, Camp Half-Blood had already started drifting back towards something resembling normality. Or, well, a demigod's idea of normal, at least. Swords clashed in the distance while the forge rang with steady, rhythmic hammer blows, and somewhere...

    Son of Kaos (PJO Chaos Gacha)

    So good catch on the continuity error. The snag is not actually in the fight, the problem is that Chiron shouldn't know what Combo is. Combo wasn't with the rolls Ethan got after waking up in Camp Half-Blood, so this is the first time that Dionysus sees it in action. So that part works and...

    Chapter 7 Getting into an (un)official brawl with the Mad God of the Vine, as it turned out, required a short walk to the arena. Chiron spent most of it making increasingly diplomatic (and desperate) attempts to persuade the two of us that settling disagreements through organised fistfights...

    Chapter 6 The silence lasted barely a heartbeat. Then one of the Empousai shrieked, her beautiful features twisting into naked fury as Cercyon's golden dust drifted between the trees. "Forward! Hold him!" The remaining skeletons obeyed without hesitation, throwing themselves at me simply...

    Friendly reminder that this week’s update, as well as the next two, can be read over on ScribbleHub and Patreon (as those platforms support timed releases). I currently can’t upload here as I am backpacking through Peru. Once I’m back, these three chapters shall be uploaded here as well. Cheers.

    Chapter 5 The group hug lasted exactly as long as everyone could tolerate admitting it was happening. Which, given the people involved, turned out not to be very long at all. Thalia pulled away first, wiping at her face with the heel of her palm like she was clearing soot and absolutely...
