So this is the first chapter of my sequel to Guardians of Chaos: Dark Skies. I was going to finish my other stories before writing this but in all honesty, this is my most popular story and the one I enjoy writing the most. I hope you enjoy it too. Oh yeah, you might want to read the first story in this series before this but it doesn't matter, if you don't you'll catch on fast. Enjoy!

Percy's PoV

I gazed around the battlefield a my wounded soldiers and friends, wondering what I did to deserve such a horrible day. I remembered it like it was yesterday. I won't bore you with flashbacks, but I can explain: It was a dark stormy day when Annabeth, Thalia and I went to Surfside boarding academy to retrieve my newest half-brother, Griffon. After our arrival, Poseidon sent Griffon and I, along with three new siblings, on the run. You see, Poseidon and Zeus had an… argument and Zeus declared that all children of Poseidon or Neptune be killed. We survived for months before Chaos found us and trained us, preparing us for our newest quest: freeing the Fates from Erebus and his Shadow Weavers. That's where we lost one of my half-brothers: Clayton. We didn't have much time to mourn because Zeus has declared war, and the Soldiers of Chaos are helping out Poseidon's side. But one factor lies in the background, and it rules my decisions at the moment. Poseidon is in Tartarus.

"Percy!" A voice snapped me out of my trance as my half-sister approached, followed by my other siblings. "Zeus's forces are retreating. We've won the battle."

"I would expect nothing less! We're the Soldiers of Chaos!" Seth exclaimed. He was another of my half-brothers. Normally I would have told him not to be so cocky, but he had recently lost his twin, Clayton. To clear any confusion, I shall introduce you to my siblings. Griffon, the one who I had rescued from school, was currently talking to his girlfriend Jenny. Griffon is the least Poseidon-ish of us all. He had blonde hair and sea green eyes. He was only twelve, so he was the youngest too. Then there's Seth, or Thing One, as Michaela calls him. He was Clayton's twin, but since Clayton's dead, he's just a high prankster now. He has the classic black hair and sea green eyes, but his skin was more olive than tan. Michaela, the only sister I have (unless you count Seth), was who you might call the security guard of the group. She has countless tazers, and is not afraid to use them. She keeps Seth's pranks in check. Michaela has black hair – with some grey streaks from the stress of dealing with Seth – and forest green eyes. So those are my living siblings. I don't like to talk about the dead ones.

"Percy, are you listening? Annabeth's hurt!" My head snapped up as Michaela and Seth carried Annabeth towards me.

"How did this happen? Who did this?" I yelled frantically. Annabeth smiled and clutched my hand.

"It'll be fine Percy. Just some odd trap that had some lions and tar," Annabeth explained. Seth paled.

"I have a confession to make," Seth said. "I set up a huge prank, with the help of the Stolls, to get Clayton back for our fight."

"And you didn't think destroying the prank after he died might save us some trouble?" I asked through clenched teeth. He shrugged and walked away awkwardly. I took a deep breath and rubbed my head, wishing my migraine would go away.

Annabeth's PoV

I had lied to Percy a bit. I couldn't move my left leg, one of Seth's stupid lions had snapped the bone. I could no longer fight; all I could do now was plan our battles. It was really disappointing. Thalia helped me into a wheelchair and rolled me into the Big House, where I would help Dionysus plan our next attack since he was filling in for Chiron, who had lost his immortality in a sad incident last month.

"Hello Annabeth, how are you?" Dionysus asked.

"Well a lion broke my left leg, I got stuck waist deep in tar, and a log smashed my favorite dagger how was your day?" Dionysus frowned.

"I know your disappointed Annabeth, but maybe this is a sign that you should rest. Take a break, go to the Aphrodite cabin and get a massage," Dionysus suggested. My eyes widened.

"I'll rest! Just please don't make me go to the Aphrodite cabin!" I begged. Dionysus shook his head and took a long sip of his diet coke.

"Go take a nap or something Annabeth." Thalia grabbed my wheelchair and pushed me to my cabin, where she helped me onto the bed.

"See ya Thals," I said.

"Bye Annie." Thalia left and Percy walked in.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Percy asked.

"I don't know. It feels good to not have to stress anymore, but I want to fight! It really sucks being stuck in here," I pouted. Percy sighed and sat next to me.

"Don't you worry Wise Girl, you'll be back on your feet in no time!" Percy said optimistically, flashing the crooked grin that I loved.

"Okay, okay, now get off my leg I can't feel my toes," I said. Percy grinned sheepishly and stood up.

"Well… I have to go. Hope you feel better soon Wise Girl." Percy left the room, and I looked down at the spot where he had been sitting. There was a card.

Dear Wise Girl,
Hope you feel better soon! Oh, and I might have lost your birthday present in the battle when that war elephant hit my cabin. Sorry! I'll get you a new one!
~ Love,
Percy

I closed the card and smiled before sticking under my pillow and falling asleep.

Griffon's PoV

"No! This is the worst day of my life!" I yelled as I saw the rubble of the Poseidon cabin. An enemy war elephant had crushed it, and broke my favorite spear in half!

"It's okay Griffon, Chaos enchanted that spear so that it would repair itself!" Jenny told me.

"Really?" I asked excitedly. Her face drooped.

"No, I was hoping he would hear me and fix it for you. Sorry," she said sheepishly. I sighed.

"Well, thanks for trying I guess." I sifted through the rubble until I found my pack. Inside I found my backup sword safe and sound.

"Oh, this survives?" I screamed. Jenny was sifting through the rubble closer to what used to be the fountain.

"Ooh, some golden drachmas!" She exclaimed.

"Hey, we use those for Iris Messages!" I complained.

"It doesn't look like you have a fountain to use them in does it?" I pouted and started collecting drachmas.

"Well maybe I thought purple dye would be appropriate!" I turned and saw Seth and Michaela arguing again, the later covered in purple feathers.

"Well maybe I should strangle you and we'll be even!" Michaela yelled.

"I think we should forget this whole thing," Seth replied.

"Run." Seth dashed off and Michaela chased him towards the lake.

"Kids these days," I muttered. Jenny laughed and we both got back to drachma-fishing.

Okay, we're done! I really enjoyed writing this chapter, so tell me what you think! Review! ~AssassinOfChaos
