The new hunter (PJO Fanfiction)
CHAPTER 2
Percy P.O.V.
As I heard these words, my sword slipped from my grip and I instantly dropped to my knees. The figure, Chaos, shifted until it took the form of a tall well defined man.
"Stand" he commanded.
All of a sudden, he started laughing, then fell and literally rolled on the floor laughing.
"Oh my! You should… have seen the… look on your face! Hahahaha!" He said between laughs.
"wow... I never expected the creator of the universe to, no offence, act like a little girl." I said with a smirk on my face.
"yeah, well I have an offer for you." He responded seriously
I cocked my head to the side "what is that Lord Chaos?" I asked
He looked at me and a smirk crawled onto his face "I would like you to join my army, I would take you to the void to train with me personally and you would work your way up the rank to become commander of my army. Will you accept?" he asked slowly "Also no titles, I don't like the formalities" he quickly added
I thought for a moment, after the betrayals and losses, it would be nice to get away for a while. But then again, I swore an oath to protect Olympus and remain loyal to the gods, which I cannot go against. I wouldn't like a new life; I would rather have no life at all. I looked up from the ground and said "I am sorry Lo- Chaos, but I must decline your offer. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm honoured and everything but I would like to stay on earth as much as possible" I answered
"I understand Percy, but I must at least give you something if you don't join my army." He said before raising his hands and a blast of darkness struck my chest.
I instantly felt stronger than before, but I noticed some added weight to my clothing. I looked down at my attire to see me wearing a pair of black high-tops with a small knife sheathed on the outside of the shoe (inside of my leg though), I wore a pair of flexible black skinny jeans that seemed perfect for running and fighting in, and black t-shirt with a coffin printed on the front, I also wore a jacket that had twelve throwing knife sheathes on it (three on each shoulder and three on each side of my waist. I almost missed the cloak that almost wrapped completely around me. Guess what! That was also black…
Then came the pain, I felt a sharp burst of pain in my back where my shoulder blades were but I gritted my teeth and didn't scream. I felt something on my back. Wait. Make that two things. They felt like extra limbs but I knew better. Like a pro, I wrapped my newly acquired wings round to see them properly. They were so black that light almost got devoured by them. They had white specks on the feathers that looked like stars.
"I give you these as a gift to help you on your travels, you have other abilities but they are for you to figure out. I shall protect you from Zeus' wrath when you fly too"
I looked at him in shock "Chaos, I cannot thank you enough but may I ask you for two more things?" I asked
"of course Percy"
"could I perhaps have a tent that I can fold into a small square to fit in my pocket that is bigger on the inside?" I asked hopefully, it is painful sleeping on the hard floor every night.
"sure thing, and the other thing?"
"could I have one free pass for swearing an oath on your name too?"
He looked at me cautiously "you know that I must reward any hero that survives when swearing by my name, right?"
My eyes widened "I didn't but that is still what I ask for, the Olympians do not know what occurred here and I feel like I am going to be needing an oath stronger than the Styx when they catch up with me."
"very well, you wishes will be granted, now I must leave. Goodbye young hero, may the fates have pity on you." He said, before opening a vortex of darkness and walked in.
I took a moment to check out my new clothes and found my tent square in my back pocket. I put it back in my pocket, fished out riptide from my pocket, uncapped it and walked back into the forest and away from a clearing.
After a little bit of walking I sensed something coming towards me, I quickly deflected it to my right before it happened again. I looked down to see a silver arrow in my left shoulder.
