Chapter 5: An Interlude With Satan

Written By: Thomas
POV: Third person, centering on Percy.

The author declares his intention to go by his real name, Thomas Brown, which Fanfiction.net strongly discourages writers from doing, going on about how he's still a Believer In Christ, but he wants to somehow "separate" from that for some reason.

In rapid succession, BIC/Thomas denies being a "belieber," that he is "mocking" Percy Jackson (he claims he wants to make people aware of the evilness in it, like with Harry Potter, The Golden Compass, and The Chronicles of Narnia), and the accusations that he's a troll (which he defines literally as the creature of fantasy, and he claims that because they're not in the Bible, they don't exist)

The author tries to demonstrate that he speaks Latin by using a horribly phrased Latin sentence.

The chapter begins in the third person perspective, with Satan(who, surprisingly enough, only appears in this scene, despite being the devil himself and Bigger Bad of the entire series) and Percy Jackson talking in the latter's mansion in England, which the author apparently believes is the headquarters of evil in the modern world. The third person omniscient narrator goes off on many tangents about how it's an evil country and how Percy Jackson changed his last name to "Judas" to signify his betrayal of Christianity.

Percy, who is referred to by his original last name, asks what his master's bidding is, only to learn that Satan is in a bad mood over Percy's failure to kill "good hero Jerry". Satan, using a Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe and forgetting a comma, commands Percy to kill lest he die himself. Percy promises his obedience, "as omg you live."

A parenthetical note follows, apropos of nothing, saying that God told Jerry that there was a traitor the night before Percy attacked, while not telling him who it was.

Satan, dropping his earlier speech pattern, tells Percy to kill Jerry, or else his best friend Grover will be killed and Percy be subject to a Fate Worse than Death. Satan is no more forthcoming about the traitor's identity than God was, but he says that the traitor knows a phrase, "Deus Mortuus" ("God is Dead") that supposedly, no one else will understand. Percy then sets out to carry out his mission, which involves finding the traitor.

The author apologizes for the characters who said bad things about God in this chapter- hardly what he should be apologizing for.

Next Installment: The attacks against the Prayer Warriors continue, but while they aren't getting any more effective, Jerry is determined to find the traitor.
