Chapter 10
(Zoe)
Of course he had to weigh a ton, Percy's passed out frame was wrapped over my shoulder as I brought him to the infirmary. The dark walls seemed out of place for a clinic but in the rest of the castle it fit right in. I sat him down on a chair nodding towards the wide eyed doctors that patrolled between patients. I smiled and pointed to the sleeping form of Percy and turned to leave. The receptionist just cowered as I walked past knowing full well that I didn't have to sign anything after what happened before.
The main road stretched throughout the inside of the walls for quite a while the brick passed quite a few houses and smaller buildings leading to the keep of this castle. It's been quite some time since I had been out of the keep's walls the people who I protected thought I had faded back into legend, if it was this bad for me I wonder what it would be like for Percy when he woke up.

Muttering. That's all I could hear for quite some time until my eyes could finally opened showing black walls and the contrasting white lab coat that held an armband that I had hoped I would never see again, a black vortex the swirl outlined in a deep purple. Chaos, I looked at my arm, ignoring the smirk that the attendant gave me, the wound was bandaged but wasn't throbbing anymore which was good I guess, I ripped out the IV giving the look to the protesting doctor that rushed over. I walked out pushing the grabbing hands away onto the road, my shoes and pants were left on thank the gods, but the lack of a shirt left me at a bit at a disadvantage when trying to be discreet. People kept on staring but I doubt it was the lack of a shirt, they wouldn't have expected me to be back here anytime soon. The doors to the inside of the keep opened up as I came into view, the guards were probably alerted about me being here and Chaos probably wanted an audience.
The throne room was nice, the purple walls studded in gold seemed to go well with the red rug that lead form the door to the throne at the end of the room. Zoe was sitting down at a chair by the wall while the big cheese himself sat before me. "Percy quickly we must talk" He said shrinking down to my size "Ouranos is rising again and we still need you" he finished looking me in the eyes. "Didn't you already learn I'm not your pet?" I asked knowing that he would put up an argument, he really did need me, "Percy we need somebody to carry the sword" He said pointing to my pocket and therefore Riptide, "I know you don't like it now but in this time it's the last thing needed to finish him off!" I stepped back a few steps, "You want his soul?" knowing the powers he already held and that the fates wouldn't like this one bit. "Percy it's the only way" Chaos said lowering his head, the hood casting shadows over his face, "Or you! You could use it my boy!" lifting his head joyfully he approached me grabbing my shoulders and looking me in the eyes. "You can control it Percy! You have bonded with these souls already; as the sword's master you can control them." Riptide trembled as he said these words. The pressure was too much, the sword's influence and the power radiating off of the too excited Chaos, I crumpled.
(Percy: Some time ago)
The woods protected me, the camp hid us from people and the barrier kept out most of the monsters, but the woods kept me from the others. Zoe told me what it does, it takes souls. Annabeth is stuck there in limbo along with any demigods unfortunate enough to be reaped. Monsters aren't effected, the soul is already bound elsewhere for them, but Gods and Demi-mortals can be taken. She told me about a being, Chaos, the one who gifted it to her, he told her that it contained a power too great to let fall into the wrong hands. The soul reaper contained Ouranos, well at least a part of him, most people thought that he was placed in Tartarus but much like his son he was cut up into pieces, several were hidden away, the only way to keep him from fully reforming. This sword held a piece, one of the last remaining according to her. Chaos placed it in her care knowing she could take care of it but she handed it to Hercules thinking he was the next great hero, but in the end it worked out I guess.
(Percy: Present)
The world came back into view; I was in yet another dark room, not the clinic this one actually had windows. I sat up and turned to find Zoe and Annabeth in deep discussion, the other master of the sword looked over and noticed that I was up. "Percy I'm sorry, I didn't realize he was in that mood." She looked like she hadn't slept in quite a while then it hit me, "Zoe how long have I been out?" she sighed, "A week." I stopped, "Zoe what's been going on?" "Percy Chaos wants us to help again, he is pulling all debts for this one." "I can go free right? What do I owe him?" I said hoping that I didn't have to follow this whack job again last time nearly killed me. "Percy he healed your arm, you owe him your life." I sat back down after realizing that I had stood up while the discussion happened, "Ok, take me to him."
