Hi guys! sorry to have been gone for so long. I had a temporary case of writers block but I am back again. I have a new chapter here for all of you as my apology. I will try to update within a week!

Alpha's POV

I stare at this strange boy-now Axel-in shock at his statement. He knows who i am? How does he know? Who is he?. These questions and more buzzed around in my head while I try and succeed in maintaining my stoic face as he continues to stand there holding an impish smirk plastered across his face. He finally broke me out of my mind stupor by waving his hand in front of his face and saing,"Hellooooo? Earth to Alpha!"

I slap his hand out of my face and say," That hero Is long dead."

His smirk-if possible-grew even more.

"Oh really? I've been to the underworld and I've searched for his soul, well sort of. I never found even a trace of it. So I searched and I searched and I finally-"he disappeared and reappeared behind me pulling down my hood before I even reacted-"found him."

He reappears in front of me a grin still plastered all over his face. "How...How did you know it was me?" I ask in shock.

"Please, you may be able to fool the gods but I am not so arrogant. I just had to use my head not my ego."

I stare at him trying to deceive any lies from his words. Not detecting any I am about to speak before he says," Don't worry just like with Hestia your secret is safe with me. And just to make sure that you trust me I swear on the river Styx to keep your identity secret from all mortal and immortal beings."

Before i can begin to talk he starts again. "So how did the mighty and watchful assassin of chaos miss a loud hellhound sneaking up behind him?"

I didn't know why then but as he asked me that all of my suspicions of him seemed to simply disappear from my mind and i felt as if i had met him somewhere before and that i should trust him.

I sigh and simpily tell him," I had a lot on my mind at the moment."

"Like how a bunch of hellhounds planned that attack? How did i not sense them? What was that strange green claws that that hellhound had?"

I stare at him in shock-again!- and say something smart like, " Uh...yeah."

"Well i can answer one of those questions. The young hellhound was using this", he pulls out a small clear vile with a green claw in it," It's an extremely rare form of venom that comes from a monster that used to live in tarturus but faded millions of years ago. It has the power to make any almost any immortal save chaos himself fade. I haven't a clue how that creature got it's...erm...claws or paws on it but i can tell you this. Whoever did do this was an immortal none other could have."

He moves over to where the remainder of the cloths are and as he starts talking again he starts to clean some of the hunters cloths that remain there," So do you have any ideas of who might have done this?"

As I told you guys before his presence made me feel like I could trust him with anything...so I told him all about the so called new threat for this planet as he continued to beat the grime out of the huntresses uniforms. When i finally finish my explanation he sighs and says," So to me...it sounds like theres a lot that the gods and chaos aren't telling you. I mean from what you over heard it sounds like they are keeping you in the dark over something major. Something that happened in the past that they just don't want you to know about. And if you ask me it sounds like it has something to do with this so called 'forgotten war'."

He put air quotes around the forgotten war part and gave me a knowing look. It was at that time right there talking with Axel that for the first time in my thousand year existence that I had my doubts about chaos. About what he was telling me about himself and the gods. About the past about everything now!"

Axel smiles sadly at me before saying," Well it is starting to get late and you probably have to get back to the hunt and cook their dinner. Oh and if the hunters question how you were able to finish the cloths in such a short time don't tell them that I was here okay?"

I look down to where the remainder of the hunts cloths were sitting in neatly stacked piles looking as if they were fresh out of a dryer. I look over them before snapping my fingers causing them to appear in the middle of the hunters camp.

I look back over to Axel and say," Alright I'll say I did it alone. Thanks for the help and the talk. I guess that I'll see you around."

I give one final nod to Axel before teleporting away missing the Cheshire grin he gives seconds before I go back to my 'job'.

?s POV

I can see it in his eyes. The seeds of distrust have finally been planted. Now all I have to do is let them grow and spread to all those around him. But before I do that I shall need to shatter that pesky demigod camp.

There you are guys! I am sorry if it is a bit of a short chapter and may seem useless but I swear that if you stick with me it will all make sense in the end...or will it? (chuckles darkly) well anywho I will hopefully see you guys again in a weeks time. Adios
