Chapter 4 - Entries No. 21, 881 and 21, 882

I do not own Percy Jackson, it belongs to Rick Riordan and Star Wars currently belongs to Disney, as well as any other elements that appear here, credits to their respective creators.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Log of a Sarcastic Demigod Among the Stars" will basically be told from the recorded log of everyone's favorite sarcastic son of the sea, Percy Jackson, who has lived for almost 500 years.

It will be a few "entries" before Percy reaches the "Galaxy Far, Far Away."

Percy's Log: Entry No. 21, 881

[Click, Buzz, Crackle, Static]

[Pause, static.]

[Click, sigh.]

[Noise... Snap...]

I want to curse in every language I know, whether it's the modern ones or the supposedly dead ones, to unleash a storm or earthquake to release my anger, because after also trying some tricks I learned with the Chinese and Japanese... I finally discovered whoever was here has an essence, although almost erased... is older than that of Artemis, Apollo and Hermes... And all three are more than five thousand years old, although they often like to act like irresponsible or mentally immature teenagers or adults.

Also the essence I found feels a little similar to Artemis and other deities related to the night sky or the stars, but the deities of each divine pantheon have something in them that identifies them to which group or faction of gods they belong and when you learn to identify it like me... for having been dragged into situations with various pantheons for having an absurd luck in life... It's quite useful.

But now what I want to do is go to Olympus and kick the gods in the ass, because the essence is definitely that of a Titan and I have a good idea of who it is.

But.. CHAOS!

Are we about to have a third war against the Titans?!, What the fuck are the gods who according to them rule the world and claim to be omnipotent and all powerful are supposed to be doing?!

ALL POWERFUL MY ASS!

Uncle Hades is the only one I can't blame, because I know how busy he is ruling the underworld and he's the only god who has always taken his job seriously. But the rest?!

There are over 600 Greco-Roman deities as far as I know that have not vanished, none of them noticed?

That's great!, Just great!

[Pause, static]

[Click, sigh]

I'll have to see what happens tomorrow. I'm too tired to deal with this shit now, so I'll follow the advice a dwarf gave me when I was 55, sleep and think about the problem with a clear mind tomorrow.

I will update this record in the morning, if I am still alive.

Percy's Log: Entry No. 21, 882, Day 6

[Click, Buzz, Crackle, Static]

Date: September 20, 2483

Location: I'm still in the Canadian forest, but rested

Percy Jackson here. Sixth day. I have finally been able to sleep a little... As it turns out, sometimes all you need is a good eight hours to get your head back in place. Anger, stress, all of that... clouds your thinking, you know? Block out the good things, the things that help you outsmart a, crazy, or annoying titan.

So yes, sleep worked. My brain finally feels like it's not filled with headaches and rage.

Now, let's talk about Krios. That is the immediate concern. That cocky, star-obsessed titan... He is the only one I can think of as being responsible for the disappearance of Artemis, perhaps also that of Apollo and Hermes... Or at least the most likely candidate based on what I found out yesterday

But when did he escape from Tartarus? And the question is, what is he up to?

Is he working alone? Is this a single-Rebel Titan operation, something smaller than a full-blown war? Or... Did the old Kronos manage to pull himself together enough to be conscious?

It's not impossible, given all its problems I've witnessed or heard about when traveling the world and the different realms under other pantheons.

Besides that, I'm talking about the son of two primordials, one of the strongest Titans or at least he once was. They can be surprisingly resilient, even when they have been killed, I mean, my cannibal grandfather and fan of filicide remained alive and conscious for more than five millennia despite having been dismembered into several pieces.

However, it is concerning if that is the case. If the ancient king of the titans managed to pull himself together so quickly after being defeated nearly 500 years ago, it might be more dangerous than last time.

And that's not to mention the possibility of an "army" on the side.

Are they trying to build another one? Are they gathering forces for a new attack against the Olympus and the camps?... If they are organized, they are a huge threat and I can't ignore the possibility that they are preparing something big.

I also have to catch up on the news about monsters. Having spent the last seven years mostly in Asia, I am not up to date with what is going on inside the Greco-Roman pantheon. So I don't know if there are more attacks of dracaena, cyclops, lestrygonians or others than usual, if the monster attacks have decreased or there are more sightings of them.

I need to catch up with Chiron, Thalia, Reyna, and the campers to find out what the latest news or rumors are that they've heard, going to the underworld to talk to the souls of the last demigods who have died, I also have to see if some of the gods are behaving out of the ordinary. And then there's Mount Otris... That needs serious verification.

I have to see the old palace of the Titans... I need to find out if it is... well... rebuilding, if they're regaining their power, that could be an important indicator.

And, Artemis, well, everything seems to be connected. The last time she was kidnapped... It was for her to hold up the sky. And now, Artemis, Apollo and Hermes? They're missing. What is it about? Has Atlas been freed from the weight of the sky? That is an extremely worrying possibility. If he is free and potentially angry, we have a whole host of problems on our hands.

Or maybe I should say that I'm the one who has those problems in my hands, because the gods only show me that they're incompetent and the least suitable beings to have any kind of power.

(Note 1) Then again, maybe I'm being too paranoid and worrying unnecessarily, after all I'm not the same teenager who, despite others believing me to be the best swordsman of the last 300 years when I was only 18, I didn't really know how to fight and had barely touched the tip of the iceberg about what I can do. But like many of the lessons I've learned throughout my life like during my time in the navy in the late 21st and early 22nd centuries, I can hope for the best, but I must prepare for the worst

Or maybe I should say that I have those problems on my hands, because the gods only prove to me to be incompetent and the least suitable beings to have any kind of power.

But honestly, the amount of problems that occur are like facing an endless hydra. If you cut off one head, two more appear. And this time, it could be much more dangerous than the last war against the titans, because of the current problems campers have in trying to blend into today's human society, they have basically lived confined for the last 300 years in New Rome, New Argos, and the camps.

I hope it's just Krios, but I'll prepare for the worst...

Note #1

Even though Percy became the best swordsman among the Greek and Roman campers, Chrysaor disarmed him with ease in a couple of minutes or seconds,
