2. Chapter 2

Hey guys, sorry to take so long to update. I left for Canada just after putting the first chapter up and in that week and a half in Canada, I didn't write at all. Seriously, the longest fanfiction thing I wrote in that time was reviews and they weren't much. Plus, school has started up again so I've been caught up in that as well. Also this chapter just took a really long time to write, it was really hard to get past quite a few parts, but as you can see I was able to get over them. Thank you so much for all the reviews, I've never ever gotten so much on the first chapter, I mean I almost reached 100! So thank you.:) Well, you guys should know that you now have someone very important to me on your side: my little nine year old sister Jade. While we were driving home from Canada, we were both bored so I got her to read the first chapter of this story and she apparently loved it so much that now she keeps pestering me every day, at least five times, on whether I've finished this chapter so she can read it. So good for you, I'll probably update faster now.:) Hope you enjoy this much awaited chapter!

Chapter 2
Percy's P.O.V.
~~~~500 years ago~~~~

The pain of Zeus lightning bolt hitting me was intense, almost as bad as when I bathed in the river Styx two years ago. But suddenly the pain started to dim, to the point where I wasn't screaming anymore and-and I was moving. I could feel myself move through the air, at the speed of light. Then suddenly the blue sky around me turned black and I felt a complete difference in the air, actually there was no air. It was then that it hit me, I was in space. What am I doing in space? I'm supposed to be heading down to the underworld! I exclaimed to myself. After a few seconds of shooting through space, I slowed down until I came to a complete stop. As I looked up, I gasped in astonishment at the sight I saw. It was like Olympus yet a thousand times better. There were buildings around me, some shops, and other houses. They were all different types of buildings: cottages, farms, apartments, skyscrapers, little houses, hotels, any type of building you can think of. Way in the distance behind me were fields and fields of flowers, varying in color and going for miles.

"I'm guessing you are Percy Jackson." I heard a voice say behind me. I immediately turned around and came face to face with a girl. She was looked about 16 and was 5'11'. She had tan skin, raven black hair that went reached mid-back, and sapphire eyes that sparkled with mischief and excitement. She was wearing a navy blue shirt, dark blue jeans, and black boots.

"Um…yes, and you are?" I asked politely.

"Sophia. I've been asked to bring you to the castle." She stated, pointing to the tall and gigantic castle right in the middle of the city. It was pitch black and was the tallest structure I've ever seen, about 900 feet tall. It reminded me of the medieval castles you'd hear about and see in the movies. Though it's definitely a hundred times better and cooler than the Disney princess castle, I thought to myself. It was like the Zelda castle yet taller and wider, just darker. Though it was pitch black, it twinkled as if thousands of little diamonds were in it but when you looked closer they were moving, "Come on, let's go." Sophia said before walking down the path. I stood there for a second before I fallowed after her. As we walked through the town, little kids ran by, laughing and playing while parents stood close by watching the kids and talking to one another.

People carrying newly made food walked along, the delicious smell of their food wafting into my face. As we were walking, I looked up and my eyes widened as I saw the sky. It was nighttime so the sky was dark, but that is not what fascinated me. Way up there, covering the sky, were millions of stars, more than I've ever seen in my lifetime. They twinkled and glowed as if no pollution was hiding them. Now that I think of it, I don't see a single car or light around here, all the lights are fire. Looking at them, I now know why Zoe hated pollution so much, how could you live through this and not love it more than the polluted sky Earth has now? Finally we reached the castle and came face to face with a ginormous doors about 18 feet tall.

After waiting a few seconds, the doors were fully opened and we walked into the castle. I felt like was in an old 1400's movie as I walked through the halls, seeing all the suits of armor, stone walls and floors, and paintings around me. We passed by a few people and they all bowed to Sophia and looked at me curiously, apparently, from the confusion in their eyes, they don't know what I am doing here either. It's strange though, usually from the second someone tries to bring me somewhere, my ADHD goes crazy and I fight them(or become really wary), but I didn't feel wary or in danger, for some reason, I felt like I could trust Sophia so I just followed her down the hallways.

Finally we stopped in front of these two large doors like the entrance ones and, after a second of standing there, they opened and we walked in. The room was about the size of a football field with tile floors, brick walls, and three thrones across the room from us. At the moment, all three were empty and, now that I look around, there was no one else in the room other than Sophia and I which confused me. We stopped in the middle of the room and the doors closed with a thud behind us. Just as I was about to speak up, a dark cloud appeared on the middle throne and when it disappeared a man was there, the same man that had been in a demi-god dream of mine two nights ago.

~~~~~~flashback~~~~~~

As I fell asleep, I was pulled to a room that was pure white, no walls, windows, doors, or furniture around me. As I stood there, a man appeared out of nowhere, making me jump and reach for Riptide. Yet as I did that, I couldn't seem to find it anywhere.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you harm." He stated in a sincere and deep voice which, for some reason, calmed me.

"Who are you?" I questioned, relaxing my stance a little bit.

"I am Chaos, creator of the Universe." He introduced and I stared at him in shock.

"W-what am I doing here Lord Chaos?" I respectively questioned and he sighed.

"I have brought you here to prepare you." He vaguely stated, "As you know, rumors have been circling around concerning you that say that you have been conversing with Gaea behind the gods backs." I looked down at that but nodded in confirmation, "Well, I have come to warn you that, sadly, those rumors will cost you something very dear and important to every person who has ever lived, immortal or mortal." Chaos explained, "In two days, that event will come true, but I have come to tell you that, even though that happens, it will not end your life, actually, once it does your life will be changed forever." With that, he stepped back from me, "I must go now but good luck Percy." And with that he disappeared and I woke up.

~~~~~~flashback~~~~~~

"You're Lord Chaos, creator of the Universe." I stated. He smiled while Sophia's eyes widened in shock, probably not expecting me to know who he was.

"Yes Perseus, I am." He stated. I smiled bitter sweetly at that.

"Thank you for warning me, it helped me get through the pain." I thanked sincerely and Chaos smiled sadly.

"You are welcome child, I'm sorry for what happened, you didn't deserve it at all." He stated and I sighed, shrugging.

"Well it had to happen." I stated and he nodded, "So, I'm guessing I'm here for the last thing you told me." I guessed and he grinned, chuckling.

"I have to say Percy; you are a lot smarter than people make you out to be." He stated and I blushed at that, "But yes, you are here for the last thing I told you." He stated. Sophia glanced between both us, completely confused yet not wanting to interrupt I figured.

"What is it?" I questioned after about a minute of silence. Chaos smiled slightly here.

"Perseus, would you like to join me in my city as part of my army?" He wondered and my eyes widened.

"You'd...want me to join you?" I questioned and he nodded enthusiastically.

"Of course, I'd be honored if you did." He agreed. I thought for a second before smiling and nodding.

"Great!" Sophia exclaimed, desperately wanting to be part of the conversation, "Come with me Perseus, I'll bring you to-" She continued, starting towards the doors, but stopped and turned to face us in confusion as Chaos interrupted her.

"Not yet Sophia, I still have yet to ask Perseus one thing." He stated. She looked confused, but nodded and walked back to my side, "Perseus," I snapped my head over to look at him as he continued to talk, "I don't want you to go to the usual place." Sophia and I were completely confused at that.

"Then where do you want me to go?" I questioned and Sophia nodded in agreement. Chaos smiled at that, a mischievous glint in his eyes which made me wary.

"Perseus, I want you to join to Seven Guardians." He admitted and Sophia gasped sharply and loudly at that, her eyes widening to the size of saucers which confused me, from her reactions, joining the Seven Guardians must be a big deal. With that revelation, I felt flattered that he wanted me to join it even though I didn't know what it was yet.

"But Lord Chaos, the only spot left in the Seven Guardians is-" She started to exclaim but Chaos interrupted her.

"Yes Sophia, I know what spot is left. It is about time it is filled, don't you think?" He inquired. She opened and closed her mouth, seeming to want to say something yet nothing came out. I was completely and totally confused now and decided to interrupt the conversation now.

"Ummm..." They looked over at me at that, "Sorry but, what is the Seven Guardians?" I asked. Chaos, who still could talk unlike Sophia, smiled and answered my question.

"The Seven Guardians is the highest group in my army." He started, "It is composed of, like the title states, Sven Guardians who are in control of the army and are like gods. Sophia here is one of them, number 2 in fact." He added.

"And you want me to join them?" I guessed.

"Yes, as number one, the second-in-command of my army and the only remaining spot in the Seven Guardians." He admitted. My eyes widened and I gasped in shock at that.

"N-number 1-1?" I stuttered and he nodded, "You want me to be in charge of your army?" I questioned after I was able to talk.

"Of course! Who better than the greatest demi-god to ever live?" Chaos stated instead and I blushed crimson.

"But what about the other six Guardians? Wouldn't they be mad if you made me your second-in-command without their consent?" I inquired and he smiled slightly.

"Good question. In this army, we have a certain rule. To join, you have to have one of the Seven Guardians consent, if you don't, you don't join. You see," He continued at my confused look, "The army in made up of seven groups: Peccata, Vipengele, Céadfaí, Iuominen, Cambiare, Scelta, and Sapere. Each group is controlled by one of the Seven Guardians, except for Iuominen who are number ones group." He added, "Now, to join you have to have the consent of one of the seven Guardians and whoever gives you that consent will bring you into their group. Now, since you are becoming one of the Seven Guardians, you just need the acceptance from one of them and you are in. Luckily for you, one of the Seven Guardians happen to be standing right next to you and even escorted you through the city. Number two in fact." He finished, gesturing to Sophia. At that, I glanced over at Sophia to see her reaction. She was just staring at Chaos and I in complete and total shock, not believing what was going on at all.

"Are you ok with that Sophia?" I questioned lightly, hoping she'd say yes. After a few seconds, she spoke.

"I-I've heard about all your heroics on Earth and they are definitely amazing," I blushed at that, "If anyone is worthy of the spot, it's you." She stated and then smiled at me. My eyes widened at her acceptance but I smiled back.

"Ok, Perseus, if you'll step forward please." Chaos ordered and I obeyed.

"Perseus, do you promise to fight for this army no matter the odds?" He started.

"I do."

"Do you promise to follow all my orders and listen to your comrades?" He asked.

"I do."

"Do you promise to go to ever mission I send you on without any hesitation if it is the right thing you need to do?" He wondered.

"I do."

"Do you promise to be a just and humble leader no matter what?" He inquired.

"I do."

"Then welcome to the Army of Chaos." Chaos finished and lifted his hand towards me. A second after he did that, a black force came out of his hand and swirled around me, creating a sort of black spherical bubble, blocking everything from my sight. I slowly felt myself change from the outside as the black force aligned around my skin and clothes. Then, when I thought it was done, it penetrated through my skin and I felt myself change from the inside now. I felt stronger, more invincible, smarter, and so many other things. Even better, there was no pain at all, just a sense of calm and happiness. Finally it ended and the ball of force disappeared. I found out that I was lying on my back on the floor so I rolled up to my knees and stood up. As I brushed myself off, I realized that I was wearing something new and, guessing from Sophia and Chaos' reactions, it was very different. Sophia gasped loudly as her eyes widened and Chaos grinned proudly.

"What?" I questioned. As an answer, Chaos made a mirror appear before me. I gasped and my eyes widened as well when I saw it. Instead of my camp half-blood shirt and ragged blue jeans, I was now wearing a completely black outfit. My shirt was a black and long sleeved buttoned up shirt that fit my stomach and arms nicely and was very comfortable. My jeans were black as well and were slightly baggy yet not so much that I look too informal. Lastly my shoes were brand new black Nikes. My hair seemed to be darker than before but it was just as messy and the same style as always. My eyes seemed to resemble waves even more than before, they were deeper, a darker sea-green, and seemed to flow like waves. My tan was even darker than before and my muscles were more defined. All in all, I looked pretty stylish and handsome.

"You have now been given all the powers my second-in-command should have. Now, each of the Seven Guardians has a certain group of offices that they and their group own. As the number one of the Seven Guardians you have time," My eyes widened at that, "Humanity -which involves things like feelings, thoughts, and memories-, life, power, justice, faith, and loyalty." He explained and I was shocked at all my big time powers, "So you can control and see time, justice, faith, and loyalty, watch humanity -including feelings, thoughts, memories, etc.-, and watch and see all the life's ever known. Lastly, each of the Guardians has a certain power, yours is Creation, in other words, you can create anything you want to." He stated, "Understand?" I nodded at that, "Great. Now Sophia, can you please bring all the Guardians here?" He questioned and she smiled.

"Of course Lord Chaos. Come along Percy, it's time for you to meet and see all the rest of the army and city." With that, she walked out of the room and, after a second, I followed her. We walked down some new hallways we hadn't been down before. As we walked, I decided to ask her something.

"Sophia," She hummed to show she was listening, "What are your guardian offices and power?" I questioned and she smiled.

"I am in control of the four elements, love, war, and nature. My power is Transportation." She stated and my eyes widened.

"Four elements as in water, fire, earth, and air." She nodded to confirm that, "And Transportation? Does that mean you can make a bus appear or something?" She laughed at that and shook her head.

"No, it doesn't mean that, it means that I can make myself, and sometimes other, appear where ever we want to. But being able to conjure up a bus would be nice." She explained further in amusement and I blushed in embarrassment at what I had said. After I got over my embarrassment, I decided to aske her something else.

"Sophia," She hummed again, "How old are you?"

"I'm 16." She stated.

"How long have you been with this army?" I wondered and she smiled.

"525 years." I was even more shocked at that.

"5-525 y-years? You've been 16 for that long?" I exclaimed and she laughed.

"Yes, I have." She giggled, clearly finding my reaction hilarious.

"Wow, talk about staying young forever." I muttered and her smile widened.

"Well I have to say Percy; you aren't the hero I expected." She stated and I grinned.

"I get that a lot." I said.

"Come on, we are almost there." She stated, walking faster.

"Where?" I questioned, not knowing who she was talking about. But instead of answering me she just smiled and walked faster. After about a minute we made it to enormous golden double doors. Sophia stopped for a second before taking a step and pushing the doors open. Either she's extremely strong or those doors are lighter than I thought they were, I thought to myself as I followed her into the room. As I looked around I saw it was about ten stories tall, books everywhere. It kind of looked like the library from Beauty and the Beast except about four times bigger and taller.

We walked up the stairs to about the third floor and walked towards the right corner of the floor towards a group of tall bookshelves. As we got through them in the middle was a table where a girl sat. She had brown hair that was in a braid and cream-colored skin. I couldn't see her eyes because she was looking down at a book on the table in front of her. But she was wearing a light blue dress with a dark brown cloak, like the kind girls would wear in England all those years ago. As if sensing us, she looked up and her blue eyes rested on us.

"Hello Sophia. Who is this you have brought with you?" She questioned and just by the way she spoke I could tell she was extremely smart. Sophia smiled at her and I could tell, just by her mood, that they were close friends.

"Hi Ziana. Percy this is Ziana, Ziana this is Percy, our new recruit." She introduced, gesturing to one another during our introduction.

"Oh, so he is part of your team?" She questioned and Sophia's smiled stuttered a little bit.

"No, he isn't." She stated. Ziana's face seemed to light up with an idea.

"Oh, so you must just be wanting to get all the Seven Guardians to see who wants to recruit him." She guessed. Sophia sighed.

"Yes, I need to gather up all the other Guardians but not to see who wants to recruit him." She stated. Ziana looked confused but nodded, standing up.

"Very well, let us go find the other." She stated, putting her book back in the shelf next to her. A minute later we were out of the library and walking back down the hallways we had come from, "So I don't think we have been formally introduced. Yes, I know you first name," She continued at my confused looks, "But that is all. I am Ziana Partolai number 3 of the Seven Guardians, keeper of knowledge, peace, believing, childbirth, discipline, fighting, and abilities, leader of the Sapere group. Power is speed." She stated, smiling at me. I smiled back.

"HI Ziana, I'm Perseus Jackson, but you can just call me Percy." I stated and her eyes widened as she stumbled in her tracks.

"Percy Jackson? As in, Son of Poseidon? Rescuer of Zeus' lightning bolt, Hades helm, and the golden fleece? Bearer and survivor of the Achilles Curse? Defeater of Atlas, Hyperion, Kronos, most of the Giants, Gaea, the minotaur twice-" I blushed deeply at this and interrupted her before she could continue.

"Yeah, that's me." I rushed. Luckily, she seemed to realize I didn't want her to brag and stayed silent, looking like she was lost in thought. We were now walking down a long hallway and way at the end was two normal sized doors. As we reached them, Sophia slowly and quietly opened the door. My breath caught as I stared at a huge coliseum in front of me, three times bigger than the first one. With a start, I realized that Sophia and Ziana were way ahead of me, heading towards the doorway of the coliseum so I rushed to catch up with them. When I walked into the building, I saw that it was empty, save one person. In the middle if the place, surrounded by dummies, was a boy. He looked about 13 years old, 5'9', and tan. From where I could see him, he was wearing black jeans, black Nikes, and a black buttoned up short sleeved shirt with thin and light gray strips going vertically and horizontally across the shirt.

He had black hair like mine(except less messy) and chocolate brown eyes. In his hand was a black sword liked none I have ever seen, it flowed and drew darkness in as if it was alive, like a black hole. After analyzing him, I felt a panging sensation in my heart at how much he looked like Nico, a complete replica, not including the eyes, shirt, and skin. As soon as we spotted him, Ziana's face lit up and she smiled brightly. As if sensing us here, he stopped slashing dummies and looked over at us. Right as his eyes landed on Ziana, they widened slightly and he almost dropped his sword. I wonder what is with them? I thought to myself. Sophia grinned as her eyes bounced between the two which confused me even more.

"H-hi Ziana." He paused, staring at her before realizing we were here too, "Sophia, and-" He paused at me and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "Who are you?" He questioned. I opened my mouth to answer, but Ziana interrupted me, excitedly and hurriedly walking towards him.

"You won't believe it Jordan!" She exclaimed and he raised an eyebrow in surprise, "He's Percy Jackson and he's joining our army!" I blushed at that as Jordan's -as he is now known as- eyes widened as he started at me in shock.

"You're Percy Jackson?" He questioned. My blush deepened but I nodded, "Wow!" He exclaimed walking towards me, "I've heard so much about you." He stated which made me blush even more, "So you're joining the army?" He questioned and I nodded, "In what group?" He asked. I was about to answer but Ziana did before I could.

"Not exactly." She stated, causing him to look back over at her, "Apparently, Sophia needs to gather all us Guardians together for some reason." She started and he nodded, looking over at Sophia in question. As if knowing what he was going to ask, Sophia shook her head.

"Nope, I'm not going to tell you until we gather up the rest of the Guardians and go to Chaos." She stated firmly. He looked like he wanted to protest but just sighed, nodded, and followed us out of the room to find the last three Guardians.

"So what are you Guardian of? What number? And what's your power?" I questioned Jordan and he smiled lightly.

"Death, judgment, trust, dark, strength, perseverance, and freedom are my offices. I'm number four and my power is," He paused, thinking before continuing, "More of a gift. I have wings so I can fly." I was shocked at that.

"Really?" I questioned in disbelief and he nodded.

"Yeah." He stated. I accepted that after a few more seconds of disbelief and the conversation didn't continue. After about five minutes, they came across a girl with long brown hair, hazel eyes, and tan skin who was wearing a blue short sleeve shirt, white skinny jeans, and white tennis shoes.

"Corina!" Ziana exclaimed and the girls head snapped up to look at us.

"What Ziana?" The girl –Corina- asked, walking towards our little party. She grew even more confused as she saw most of the Guardians and then I standing there, "Who are you?" Ziana sighed.

"Corina Nicona, meet Percy Jackson," Her eyes widened at that, "Percy Jackson, meet Corina Nicona, the fifth Guardian, Guardian of five senses, lying, and truth, and her power is Magic." She introduced, gesturing between both of us. I was surprised at all those things, the five senses don't seem like a big thing but we depend on then just as much as water and oxygen. After all, what would we do without hearing, touch, smell, taste, and seeing? And lying and truth? The whole universe revolves around lying and telling the truth so those are some big offices. And Magic? A big power as well. Ziana obviously just wanted to find out what was going on then take time to introduce us instead. Corina opened her mouth but Jordan, realizing what she was going to ask, spoke before her.

"Yes, he is the Percy Jackson you're thinking of." He confirmed and her eyes widened. She was about to speak again but this time Ziana spoke before she could.

"We don't know what is going on either," She glared sternly at Sophia and me at those words, "But if you follow us then we'll find out sooner." She nodded and with that we left to find the last two Guardians. About a minute later, we were out on the streets of the city. Every person who we passed, stopped what they were doing and looked at us, after all, it must be weird seeing most of the Guardians together and most of them are confused and with a stranger no less. Finally we reached the town square which was just a square with paved sidewalks and little platforms full of flowers and some trees. Kids were running all over the place, laughing and just having a blast which made me smile. Right now a little boy, who was most likely it, was chasing after a little girl about seven with short curly blond hair, pale skin, and sparkling blue eyes in a cute little pink dress, a pink hairband, and pink slippers.

"Juliana!" Sophia called, looking at the little girl. Hearing her name, she stopped, causing the boy to ram into her and they tumbled to the floor. After a second they both started giggling like crazy, clumsily standing up. She walked over to us, smiling brightly, still giggling slightly.

"Yes Sophia?" She innocently questioned.

"We're gathering up all the Guardians to meet Chaos." She summarized and Juliana nodded in agreement.

"So now we just have to find Kiani!" She exclaimed in her small little voice. She spotted me while she was looking over everyone and beamed at me, "Hi, I'm Juliana Monai, #6 of the Seven Guardians. I'm Guardian of youth, creatures, reality, feelings, light, forgiveness, and dreams. What is your name?" She questioned politely, holding out her hand. I smiled at that.

"Percy Jackson." I stated, shaking her hand. Her eyes widened at that and she gasped.

"The Percy Jackson?" She demanded happily. I blushed but nodded.

"Juliana?" Ziana stated before Juliana could start to talk, "Sorry, but we really need to find Kiani." She apologized. Juliana nodded enthusiastically.

"Ok! Let's go!" She exclaimed, turning around and skipping towards her friend who was dusting himself off, "Bye Austin, see you later." She stated. Before she left though, she pecked him on the cheek before skipping away happily, not even realizing Austin's eyes widening and a dazed and happy smile growing on his face. I smiled lightly at that before continuing on, following after her. Juliana finally stopped skipping when we reached a pavilion of sorts. There were teenagers and kids everywhere, standing in a circle. Right in the middle of the circle was a boy with brown hair, gray eyes, and tan skin who was wearing blue jeans, a dark blue shirt, and some blue Nikes. He was demonstrating a sword move to them all on a partner. As I watched the move, I felt a pang in my heart as I realized it was the disarming technique, the same one I was taught the first day I got to camp. As we got closer, you could finally hear what he was saying.

"-Move your sword down and-" He cut off abruptly as he looked up and saw us, "Oh, hey guys, what brings you all here?" He questioned, bringing his sword to his side.

"Chaos wants to see us." Jordan called shortly. Kiani nodded before turning back to his group.

"Sorry guys, got to go." He stated before going through the crowd towards us. He stopped in front of us and looked from face to face, growing confused when he reached me.

"Oh, new recruit." Corina stated, seeing his look, "That's why Chaos wants to see us I'm guessing." She stated and he nodded. At that we continued on back towards the castle.

"Hi I'm Kiani Jumalikai, #7 of the Guardians, Guardian of wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony –in other words, the seven deadly sins. Powers invisibility." He stated and my eyes widened.

"Wow. And invisibility?" I stated ad he nodded, "Well, I'm Percy." I stated and he raised an eyebrow.

"Now, I know I'm not one to say this what with my name but Percy? How did your parents come up with that?" He questioned and I sighed.

"It's a nickname, my real name is Perseus." I frowned at my full name. He nodded in understanding.

"After the famous Perseus, son of Zeus I'm guessing?" He questioned and I nodded.

"Yeah, she hoped that I would have a demi-god life like his, not like Hercules or any of the others." I explained.

"Oh, so you're a demi-god?" He questioned and I nodded, "Who's your parent?" He wondered and I sighed.

"Poseidon." I stated and he seemed to stumble in his steps at that.

"Posei-" He started before interrupting himself, "You wouldn't happen to be Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, would you?" I sighed deeply at that.

"Yup, that's me." I confirmed and he seemed shocked.

"Wow, it's an honor to meet you." He stated and I smiled lightly.

"And I to meet you." I countered. He smiled at that before it became quiet again. Finally we reached the room Chaos was in and opened the doors. He was still on his throne and, as we walked in, he smiled brightly.

"Hello Guardians." He stated warmly as we closed the doors behind us, "I'm guessing you are all wondering why you are here?" He questioned and Jordan, Ziana, Kiani, Juliana, and Corina nodded their heads, "Well, as you know, Percy Jackson," He gestured to me, "Is here and has decided to join our army." He started, "Now, you probably would all love to have him on your groups," They all nodded in agreement at that which made me blush, "But I have to say that none of you will have him in your group." They were completely confused and disappointed at that which embarrassed me; I didn't know they'd want me in their group so much.

"Oh!" Ziana exclaimed, realization on her face, guess she isn't the Guardian of Knowledge for nothing, I thought to myself, "He's joining the Iuominen(group #1), isn't he?" She guessed and Chaos smiled.

"Yes, he is." Chaos stated.

"I don't understand Lord Chaos. If he's joining Iuominen, then why have you called us up here?" Jordan asked, genuinely confused.

"Because, he is not just going to be a regular member of the group." He stated. At their confused looks he smiled and continued, "Guardians, meet Percy Jackson, the newest Guardian. Guardian of time, justice, faith, loyalty, humanity, and life as well as the power of creation." He introduced and all of them –except for Sophia- gasped loudly, their eyes widening. Sophia just grinned. After a few minutes of shocked silence, Ziana spoke up.

"I was wondering how he was so gorgeous already." She wondered to herself without thinking before blushing. Jordan frowned at that for some reason, "I mean," She recovered, "When are we going to tell the rest of the army?" She rushed, wanting to get the attention off her. Chaos smiled and stood up.

"Right now, it's dinner time." He stated and with that we were all surrounded by a cloud of darkness. When it had disappeared, we were sitting down at a high table. We were split down the middle by Chaos and his throne. On my side(which was his right) there was me(#1), Ziana(#3), Juliana(#5), and

Kiani(#7). On Chaos' left side it was Sophia(#2), Jordan(#4), and Corina(#6), so pretty much it went back and forth from number to number. There were seven table across from us, going for about one or two hundred feet down, each filled with kids ranging from ages five to maybe 22. Each table was directly in front of one of the seven guardians so it was probably each of their groups. OF course, Chaos didn't have a table full of people in front of him; his part was the table full of food, going all the way down the table, not a spot shown.

As we finally were fully in the room, everyone casually looked up at our table, expecting only seven of the eight chairs full though that was not the case now. They looked away though, before freezing and snapping their heads to look up at the table, it growing quiet as everyone in the room glanced at me in complete disbelief and shock. I itched to shift uncomfortably and look away from their glances but I knew that that wouldn't be a good first impression so I stayed the way I was, staring back at them. Chaos cleared his throat and, after a second, they looked over at him.

"As you all see, we have a new addition to our table." He started and everyone glanced over at me, "Iuominen's meet Perseus Jackson, your new leader." He introduced and everyone gasped loudly at their suspicions being confirmed. After a while, they groups called down and smiled slightly, well, only six of them, my group was just scrutinizing me, probably wondering if I was trustworthy or something like that. I smiled at them and waved a little which seemed to relax them, "Now, I know you will want to get to know him, but not right now, just wait till tonight in your group quarters. Now, begin eating." He said and, after a second, we all did just that. After dinner, we all split up; the Vipengele(group 2) transported away, the Céadfaí(group 5)used magic to shot to the castle, the Cambiare's(group 6) turned into birds and flew to the castle, the Scelta's(group 4) opened their wings and flew there, the Sapere's(group 3) super sped to the castle, my group(Iuominen) used our creation powers to create a portal to bring us there –luckily I paired up with someone who did it since I didn't know how to yet-, leaving the Peccata's(group 7) to walk their since invisibility didn't really get them anywhere fast. Apparently, the seven group's have different sections of the castle belonging to them; the North tower is group ones, Northeast tower is group two's, East tower is group three's, Southeast is group fours, South tower is group five's, Southwest tower is group six's, West tower is group seven's, and Northwest tower is Chaos', the rest of it(pretty much the middle and hallways between the towers) belongs to everyone. Right as I fully materialized in, I was bombarded by enthusiastic questions from my peers, they wanted to know everything about me; especially my adventures as the famous demi-god son of Poseidon. So, as I sat down to start the stories, I smiled as I realized that I had finally found a true family and this time, I feel like it's going to stay that way for a long time.

Song I'm listening to right now: I am listening to the beautiful sound of silence as my sister tries to concentrate on her homework…
