Chapter 4: Chaos
Percy POV
When we saw the man walk out of the shadows, I immediately uncapped Riptide and got into defensive position thinking it was a monster. I quickly glanced at my two cousins and noticed that they had also taken out their weapons. The man was tall with black hair and broad shoulders, he was wearing a pitch black suit that almost blended in with the shadows but when I looked closely realized that it had tiny white dots moving all around it. He approached us with his hands raised as in surrender and calmly said, "I'm not here to hurt so please put up your weapons"
"who are you?" I replied but still didn't put up Riptide
"I am Chaos, the Creator of the Universe" the man explained
I stood there confused trying to remember who he was but Thalia gasped, bowed and said "Chaos! um what are you doing here my Lord?" while putting up her bow and relaxing.
I looked at Nico and we both relaxed and put up our swords figuring that he wasn't going to hurt us, since apparently Thalia knew who he was.
"I am here to offer you a proposition. I would like for you to come with me and become the commanders of my army" Chaos answered.
I was shocked at the answer and looked at Chaos trying to see if he was lying or not, but he looked like he was telling the truth.
"But...why us my Lord?" Thalia asked, confused.
"Well I've been watching your journey here and the previous events for quite a while now and finally decided that you three have the potential and the drive that I want the leaders of my army to have" Chaos replied.
"Um...wow...well...um thanks?" Nico said
Chaos chuckled, looked at us and said, "Don't mention it, so what do you say? Do you agree to come with me and become the commanders of my army?"
I thought about what would happen if we left, but realized that Camp Half-Blood didn't need us anymore and that Camp Jupiter is perfectly able to manage by themselves. I turned to look at Nico and Thalia, and I knew we were thinking the same thing so I said, "Well, why not?"
Chaos smiled and beckoned us forward into the portal he had just opened, and with that our new lives started.
I smiled as I remembered all the hours of training we had to go through to finally achieve our full powers. Thalia noticed me smiling and asked, "what are you smiling about?"
"I was remembering the things we had to go through to get here" I replied
She smiled and said, "Yea me too, but by the look in your face I thought you were daydreaming again" at that Nico let out a short laugh and said, "When does he not?"
I glared at them for a bit and said, "I don't daydream as often as you think you know, if you remember I also have the same responsibilities as you. Besides you guys know I could easily beat both of you in a fight and still be thinking about other stuff"
"Yea yea, but we're still nearly as powerful as you, the only reason why you're more powerful is because you were the oldest when we turned immortal" Nico said with a bit of annoyance.
I was about to respond when the doors to the command room opened and our Lieutenants and Generals walked in and walked to their seats. I looked at them as they filed in and thought they are not going to be happy about this, especially Reyna and Luke. Since they knew of the events before we became commanders, they had a grudge against Camp Half-Blood and the gods, especially the gods. Even more so because because when we returned to Earth three years later to get Reyna, we found out that the gods had been saying that Nicholas, Madison and Ryan were the best heroes to ever live and that they had been blind to call us their favorites. That got Reyna and Jason mad and when we offered them a place in the army, they gladly accepted. Luke had already been in the army before we became commanders, I was wary at first but we eventually became good friends again and I now see him like a brother, and when I told him what happened, he swore to get revenge on them for all the things that they did.
"We have summoned you here to tell you about the mission that Chaos has given us, and let me tell you some of you will not be happy." I said after everyone had settled down.
"Um, why is that Commander?" Thalia's general, Zale, asked politely
"The mission is to go to Earth and help the gods defeat Erebus, that has started to rise and is planning to destroy the gods" Thalia said before I could answer. Shocked and angry faces were seen all around the table as they registered what Thalia just said.
Nico, in an attempt to calm everyone down said "I know you don't like it, and neither do we, but orders are orders and we cannot ignore them. We all swore loyalty to Chaos when he took us in and he wouldn't like it if we broke that oath." That got through them and we started to discuss our plans.
"How many soldiers are we taking?" Tyler, my general asked.
"We will take 1,000 from each of our divisions, but we can call for reinforcements if needed" I replied
"So that means we'll take 3 ships, and the command ship right?" Alek asked. He was Thalia's Lieutenant and also her boyfriend, I still found it funny that Thalia had a boyfriend I never imagined her having one.
"Right you are Lieutenant" Nico said.
"When do we leave?" Alise, Tyler's twin sister and also Nico's general asked.
"We will be leaving tomorrow morning after breakfast, so we'll leave you to tell the rest of the troops and to prepare, while we do the same" I told them.
I sighed as they left and thought this is not going to be an easy mission.
