The Message

This war has raged for far too long. Earth has become a battle ground, and as the war between Gaea continues on, the demigods are winning, yet there is another plan. Kronos has awoken, due to his mother. He swore he would get revenge and nothing would stop his rage. But help is needed, an army formed by the anger and vengeance that is chaos. The titaness Chaos herself decreed she would not rest until Kronos was avenged, therefore The Order of Chaos was created. This vow could not be broken being sworn on by the river Styx as it was made. But no side has given up, Greeks and Romans overcame their past and fight in the ongoing battle, monsters and demigods work together to make sure the Order is fulfilled and they get one thing in return; revenge. But now, a new day has dawned, and it is time to finally turn the tides. One side will either surrender or loose and only one side will gain victory.

The thunder of hooves against the ground echoed throughout the valley. A group of five midnight black stallions with matching riders crashed through the freshly fallen snow, the leader jerked his stallion to a stop and pulled out a wicked looking sword. Obsidian colored and quite dented from all the encounters he'd had with enemy forces, "Scout the underbrush." He growled to the scrawny swordsman to his left, "Yes sir!" he shouted and stalked to a large pine tree with another swordsman following him, after a few minute they dragged back two bodies. Two young male demigods from the enemy, the two swordsmen threw them to the ground and with a rough kick, they got the left solider to pay the leader attention, "Tell your army to send your strongest men to the front line." He kicked the left one's side again for an answer, "You can tell me to do your stupid plan all you want, but in the end we will win!" he yelled but not confidentially. Something in his eyes said he was terrified, "I'll give you both a chance." He growled and picked them up by their necks, "And if this doesn't happen," he threw the soldiers a few feet away, just to make sure they got the message, "Chaos herself will meet you in battle." With that they scrambled to their feet and started to run, "Parker," he asked the archer at the back of the group, "How many people does it take to deliver a message?" with a smirk, the archer pulled an arrow from his quiver and notched it into the bowstring, "Just one, sir." The leader chuckled for a moment thinking of his revenge, "Perfect." The archer let fly at that one word, watching in pure delight as the arrow whizzed through the air, lodging into one of the soldier's neck. The last sound he ever uttered was a cry of pain. But it was his time to let go. He'd seen enough war already. He was tired.

The son of Manea stumbled through the western borders of the Refuge. Like its name was a safe place for demigods, Greek and Roman alike, to train and live during the war. Both camps had been destroyed, therefore the Greeks and Romans combined both styles to make one camp, "Xavier!" he turned to face the speaker and almost collapsed in relief, "Tori,"

"Where is Foster?" she asked nearing the woods, "Tori, he-"Xavier cleared his throat before going on, "While we were scouting the borders, a group of Chaos's army came and…" but she already figured it out. The daughter of Nike was definitely smart, she didn't need to be told, and she could figure things out, "We need to go tell Cassandra then." Her voice cracked on the last word, "I think we should call a council meeting too, I have a message from enemy forces." Tori pursed her lips, "Alright, let's go." She started running towards the middle of the Refuge. Located there was a large building with Greek style columns, in the center of the building there was a large marble table with twenty or so thrones surrounding it. Ten for the Romans and ten for the Greeks. Only one camper from each parent was selected in both Greek and Roman form.

Cassandra was the main female leader of the Refuge. She was a daughter of Athena. The main male leader was Ryan, the son of Kratos. It was a perfect team. The daughter of a wisdom goddess and the son of the god of strength and power. Tori quickly told everything to Cassandra and Xavier's request, she nodded gave a salute to one of the guards who saluted her back and blew in conch shell to signal that a council meeting was about start. Xavier quietly sat down as the other minor leaders filed in, "Hey, where is Foster?" someone piped up, Xavier could tell Tori was trying her best not to break down; he was too, but it was hard. Foster was his best friend, 'It was my time anyway. The Fates planned out my life like they wanted.' Those where his last words, and he chose to tell them to Xavier. Only a few years ago he was claimed to Apollo. Only a few years knowing you had an Olympian parent, "Xavier, would you please tell everyone what happened?" Quickly Xavier stood up and cleared his throat, "Today, in the farther Western borders, Foster and I were discovered by a group of Chaos's army. Foster decided to be strong willed as always and…it didn't end well. One of the enemy archers," Xavier cleared his throat one more time to avoid choking up. He would not cry in front of everyone, "One of the enemy archers shot him. He spoke his mind, that's all. He was brave enough and it was his time to let go." With that Xavier quickly sat down. The room was quiet for a few minutes and the air felt thick. It was like all the noise in the universe turned off to mourn Foster, "Well, I believe there was something else you had to say, Xavier?" Cassandra asked, "Right." Xavier didn't stand up this time, "The leader of the group that attacked me and Foster told us to send our strongest men to the front line." Cassandra and Tori had contemplative looks on their faces. Their mothers worked together, both goddesses probably thought alike, almost as Tori and Cassandra did, "Jax," Cassandra said after a few minutes of pondering to the son of Mercury, "Yes?"

"Gather a search party and look for the nearest Titan camp, demand them to tell their leaders we will not follow their orders, we will fight how and when we want." A smile spread across his face before he responded, "This'll be bloody worth it." Tori had a hint of a smile on her face, "Great, have everything ready by evening, then you will head out by nightfall." After a few minutes of excited chatter, Ryan yelled "Council dismissed!"
