The moon shone brightly in the night sky, the stars twinkling happily, as if they were bidding me goodbye, and I wondered if this was going to be the last time I would ever see the sky again.

Íroas's POV, now

I woke with a gasp.

I shot up of bed, body covered in a thin layer of sweat.I was gasping for air as I recovered from that memory.I chocked down a sob that welled into my throat.

Why that one, why?

The space beside me shifted and the sound of bedsheets moving filled the air.I glanced down and saw a pair of golden eyes staring back at me.

"What wrong?"Kronos enquired.

"It's nothing,"I lied, looking anywhere but at Kronos.He must've heard through the lie, but he didn't press.

I glanced at the clock on the table beside me, 9.52 a.m.

"I should check on Sam and the others,"I said while getting out of bed.

"Or you could stay here,"Kronos said lowly as his hands snaked around my waist and pulled me back onto the bed.His lips immediately finding its place against mine.

"Kronos, no,"I said while pushing him back to prevent him from distracting me.

"Why not?I'm sure the others can take care of them,"Kronos demanded as he continued attacking my mouth.

"I'm not staying in bed after someone close to me was just saved," I said breathlessly when we finally parted for breath.

"Alright, fine.Just don't take too long,"Kronos obliged reluctantly.He shifted up to rest on his elbows, observing me as I got out of bed and put on a fresh new set of clothes.

"You should get up too, you know,"I glanced at Kronos, temporarily stopping the action of putting the various weapons I owned into their respective sheaths.

"But I don't want to,"Kronos flopped back onto the bed and rolled to the other side of the bed, his back facing my direction.

"Sometimes I think you're a five year old kid instead of a several thousands of years old immortal,"I said, eyebrows raised in amusement.

"Fine,"Kronos grumbled and rolled his eyes while getting up.He snapped his fingers and was suddenly dressed in his usual attire.His weapon, which was the same one he had used years ago, was sheathed across his back.

Backbiter

How he got the sword back?I had no idea, but whatever happened, Chaos must've been involved.

"So, do you know where they are?" Kronos asked while opening the door which led to the corridor of the main hallway.I thought for a moment before answering.

"Maybe they're at the infirmary, to, you know, check on Sam, Victor and Luciel," I said while walking.

Kronos nodded thoughtfully and we made our way towards the infirmary.

All of the other commanders and Chaos were crowded around a door which obviously led to where Sam was staying at the moment.Luke, Xin Ru, Aideen and Eriline, who must've just came back from her mission, looked very focused as they pressed their ears on the door.

I should probably explain the way Chaos' army works.When you first join the army, you will obviously start at the lowest rank.Every mission completed will allow you to go up one rank.The highest rank is the commander position, which includes me, Eriline, Sam, Luke, Xin Ru and Aideen, while the lowest rank is the soldier position.But, to become one of the commanders, you will have to battle one of the commanders and win.

As I was about to greet them, Eriline put a finger to her lips, eyes sparkling in amusement.I was confused but complied.However, I understood when I was closer to the door.

The door leading to the room Sam was currently staying in was closed but I could clearly hear shouting behind the closed door.

"I'm fine," A annoyed voice rang out. It was definitely female.

"Being able to walk after spending a night in the infirmary, and after I healed your various cuts, bruises, broken bones and even more stuff which I can't even pronounce, doesn't mean you're fine.You are not getting out of this room before you heal completely, and that's an order from Chaos themselves," An equally annoyed female voice replied.

"I can walk properly and I am not going to stay in bed when my girlfriend is already back from her mission," That is definitely Sam. "Hel to what Chaos orders, I am going to getting out of this room no matter what and nobody can stop me."

An exasperated sigh could be heard.

"I give up, you're as stubborn as Íroas."All of us heard footsteps.And the door opened forcefully and we were met with a really pissed Kandice.

"You guys can take over her, but I am never going to be her doctor ever again," Kandice jabbed her thumb towards a equally annoyed Sam behind her, before stomping away.

"Should we go after her?" Luke asked after a moment of silence passed.

"She will be fine, she just needs some time to cool off,"Chaos assured Luke, but it didn't look too sure either.

Based on how formal Chaos is now, I'm assuming he is in his male form.

Eriline wasted no more time and ran towards her annoyed looking girlfriend and pulled her into a long and passionate kiss. The annoyance immediately wiped off Sam's face as she lifted her arms and laid them around Eriline's neck and deepened the kiss.

Cough

Eriline and Sam immediately bolted apart, face red with embarrassment, as if they suddenly remembered they had an audience.

"While I do not want to interrupt your happy moment, all of us need to know what my sibling plans to do,"Chaos said apologetically.

"Wait a moment.You have a sibling?" Eriline asked incredulously, "Since when?"

Huh.Guess no one told her about what happened.

"Order plans to recruit your family members and turn them against you. And, the Commander's name is Alexia,"Sam informed, ignoring her lover's question.

"And what about your team?"Chaos asked Kronos.

"We know that Order has already recruited Moros, Thalassa, Pontus, Tartarus, Gaea, Erebus, Achlys, Chronos and Porphyrion.They have also recruited leaders from countless planets,"Kronos informed.

Chaos furrowed his eyebrows, and frowned slightly at the black marble floor, deep in thought.Finally, he nodded and looked up again.

"We shall decide on further plans after Sam is fully healed," Chaos looked at Sam meaningfully until she sighed and nodded.

"But for now, rest and train until there are further missions,"A portal suddenly appeared next to Chaos, he entered and the portal disappeared in a flash of light.

"Since that has been settled, all of you, shoo,"Eriline said as she herded all of us out of the room.Sam rolled her eyes fondly as she observed Eriline.When all of us were out of the room, the door closed shut.

"So, we check on Victor and Luciel now?"Luke asked.

"I heard from Kandice that they were placed in the same room, and I do not need to know what they're doing right now,"Xin Ru said as she shivered.

"So, training anyone?"Aideen asked.Luke and Xin Ru answered with a nod.When they looked at me, I was about to answer when Kronos answered.

"I think we'll go back to our room and rest first,"Kronos replied for me. Aideen, Xin Ru and Luke smirked at one another knowingly.

"Make sure both of don't do any strenuous activities,"Luke teased and took off towards the direction of the arena.

My face was red and I was gaping as I glared at Luke. But Kronos seemed to have no problem with conveying his message.

"Luke Castellan, you are so dead," Kronos growled as he chased after the laughing commander.
