Chapter 4 –Percy's POV-
When I came out of the portal I found myself standing in some sort of room. It was a bedroom that connected to a mini beach. The bed was king sized with black silk sheets and an ocean blue comforter. The headstand of the bed was polished oak wood, and carved into it were mini tridents. The floor was wooden and the walls where black. Across the bed mounted onto the wall was a giant flat screen television with a wooden desk that matched the bed's headstand.
I walked over to the desk and opened one of the doors. Inside was every game station, and a whole pull out rack of the best games. In the other drawers were black, grey, red, and dark blue clothes. I checked the size of the clothes and they were my size.
"Whoa." I said, breath taken.
I got up and looked at the rest of the room. On another wall next to the bed were two wooden doors. I opened them and gasped. Inside was a walk in closet. To the left of the closet were a bunch of black hoods, and a cloak. I looked at the cloak, it was pitch black except for the lining. The edges were sea green, like my eyes.
To the right of the closet was racks and racks of weapons. Swords were hanging up, some with shiny black blades, and others silver. There was also a shelf full of daggers and throwing knives. Then there was a stand that spun, and on it were a bunch of bows. In the middle of the spinning stand were hundreds of arrows.
I walked out of the closet and down a small hallway that connected to the room. To the right was a bathroom with a giant tub, a shower, a sink and obviously a toilet. All the tiling in the bathroom was sea green and black checkered. The sink counter was marble, and there was a drawer with different soaps that haven't been used yet.
I exited the bathroom and looked into the right room of the hallway. I froze. A mini fridge! I love mini fridges, okay? I opened the fridge and inside was a bunch of different foods. Sweets, fruit, meat, you name it. For a mini fridge it held a lot. The mini fridge was on a counter, and next to the fridge was a microwave. There were also cabinets with a few plates and bowls and cups. Then something caught my eye.
It was a coffee cup, except it was blue and said, Percy, son of Poseidon. There was a note attached to it. It read,
Percy,
This is a special cup. It reads your status, so at the moment it says 'son of Poseidon', but it can be changed. You don't need to fill this cup up, all you have to do it think about what you want it to be filled with. It's like the camp half-blood cups. Anyways, enjoy the cup.
-Sincerely yours, Chaos
I looked at the cup and thought, blue coke. The cup was now filled with my favorite drink. I smiled. So if this cup is mine, does it mean this room is mine as well?
"I'm glad you asked." Said a voice.
I jumped and spun around. Chaos stood before me an amused glint in his eyes. "Percy, I'd like to have a word with you." He said.
I shuffled my feet nervously. "Um. Okay Lord Chaos. What is it?"
"Please, call me Chaos. Anyways, I have decided to start my own family. Skylar, is my daughter. She was supposed to be kept safe at Camp Half-Blood while I dealt with... things... here. Now I have decided to bring her home. But you see, I fear she will be lonely here, causing her to be depressed. So, I came up with a solution! I'm going to build an army."
"Um, sir, Chaos.. sir. I don't understand. Are you saying you're gonna build and army to entertain your daughter? Or, are you sticking her in an army?"
"I'm not just sticking her in any army. I want you to lead, and I would like for you to pick some trust worthy, strong fighters. They need to be dead though, it would be too suspicious if a bunch of demi –gods suddenly disappeared. The dead I will be able to sneak out and bring back to life. Then their identities can stay a secret on missions! Percy it could be wonderful, I could train you all and then you could go to different galaxies and planets to keep peace. The army can be like an all new family, not just for Skylar and me, but for you."
I found myself nodding at his words. It sounded good, but could I do it? Could I really lead an army, and start a new life?
As if reading my thoughts, which he probably was, he said, "Yes, I think you can do this Percy, you're a natural leader and don't even deny it because I'm sure Kronos and Gaea would even agree."
"Yeah I guess I lead against them, but those were my friends."
"And the new army will be your friends too. Just tell me who and I'll go get them Percy."
"What's the catch? Why me?" I asked.
Chaos sighed. "You are very strong Percy, that's why I chose you. Plus you were abandoned, and you didn't deserve that." He smiled. "And as for the catch? I want you to be my son as well. Skylar could be your sister, and I your father. I could give you my powers as well, and I can train you along with Skylar. We can be the most powerful family ever known."
"Y-You want to adopt m-me?" I asked, astonished.
"Yes, Percy." He replied with a smile.
I studied him for a moment. His eyes sparkled with generosity, and I believed that he cared. "Yes, I will be your son, and leader of your new army." I said.
He enveloped me into a hug. "Welcome to the family, son."
I hugged him back. "Thank you father." We broke apart and I couldn't help but ask, "Where is Skylar now? Is she okay?"
"She is fine, she's in her room at the moment still asleep, but the spell should now wear off in a few days. Once she wakes up we can fill her in on the army and our new family. We will also pick code names, for the new secret identity. For now, let's start with gathering the new soldiers for our army, shall we?" And with that, he walked out of my new room and led me down a series of hallways, to discuss who to break out of the Underworld.
