"It's you." Percy said as he looked at the man on the throne.
"Yes. It is me. I am Chaos." He spoke with the voice Percy couldn't recognize. The one that led him to his allies. "You should feel lucky, Perseus Jackson. You are the first demigod in millennia to hear my voice. The only one, come to think of it."
"Now, you're probably wondering why I've led you to your new friends here. The thing is, I think the Olympians need to be put in there place. But I can't do it. I'm all nice and forgotten, and if I came back it would dredge up all kinds of drama. You're the first ones who aren't fighting for their power. I respect that."
"I will give you some supplies, some gifts, and one last member to your rebellion." Chaos said.
"AZRAEL!" Chaos roared. The front doors opened to reveal a demigod. He stood in the doorway, dressed in all black. He wore a black button up shirt and black pants and boots, with black hair. His tanned skin stood out against the black. What really stood out were the large black wings on his back.
"You called?" He said.
"Azrael you are to join with Percy Jackson and his rebellion." Chaos said. "Azrael was the first servant I created. Eventually he grew into a son to me, much to the jealousy of my other servants Urian and Xavier. When they learn of this they may side with the gods. Now onto those gifts." Chaos said.
As soon as the word "gift" left Chaos's mouth everyone fell to their knees in pain. Percy pulled off his shirt to watch the skin over his left chest burn into a dragon design. Seth took off his to see a dragon burn itself onto his lower back. Matt ripped his shirt off to see a dragon burn itself onto his shoulder, it's head curling around to rest on his heart.
Nico pulled up his right sleeve to see his dragon burn into his forearm.
Azrael's dragon burned itself on his neck, the face resting on his right cheek.
"If you will follow me." Chaos said. They followed him outside, where they saw the sky was solid black, yet everything was bright as day. "Please distance yourselves. It could get rather crowded." He said.
Percy looked up and saw a line of things flying towards them. The first one landed in front of Percy. He saw a sea green dragon looking at him. He looked over at the others. Jason had a sky blue one, while Thalia had on that was mixed black and blue. The Stolls had matching gray ones. Will's was yellow. Seth had a solid black dragon, and Madelyn had a bright white one. Noah had an earthy brown dragon. Alyssa had an orange dragon, and Topher had a sapphire blue one. Azrael's dragon was black, but had a nebula of golden stars in its scales. Nico's was the strangest of all. It was a living dragon skeleton.
"You will have to stay here for the next several weeks, to train yourselves and to train your dragons. Your quarters are past the hill over there." Chaos said, pointing to the east. Most of the group walked to there new home, and Azrael flew with his wings, but Matt tried something different. He climbed onto the dragon, just behind its horns. The dragon stood, stretching its wings, and leapt into the sky. They soared over the others, and Matt took in everything there was to see. There were fourteen cabins with a large stable each, one for each person and dragon. There was a lake, and a large field. He landed near the red cabin with the green door. He slid off the dragon and led it into the stable. The dragon promptly collapsed into sleep. Matt went into the cabin and did the same thing.
Several hours later Matt woke up. He found a pile of supplies in the cabin, as well as a store of food. He picked up a note.
'This will unlock any stored away powers.' As soon as he read that he felt a shock, and dropped a smoldering piece of paper. Confused, he picked up the paper, and it burst into pink flames. 'Strange.' He thought. He went in to the dragons stable and led the dragon to the empty field.
"Now show me what you can do." Matt said. The dragon reared back and let loose a torrent of pink flames.
"That's cool. What else?" He said.
The dragon shrank down, its form shifting as it wrapped itself around Matt. It's head rested on Matt's left shoulder, it's tail covering his right arm. Spikes went up the arm. It's wings folded under his arms to cover his chest. The dragons legs moved to protect his legs. His left arm was covered by scales, ending in a large, clawed hand. The scales covered his head, making a helm.
"Woah." That was all Matt could say. The dragon unfolded itself and grew to its proper height again.
"You know, I should give you a name. How about Agapi?" The dragon snorted and shook its head in approval.
"We have to show the others." Matt said. He climbed onto the dragon and they flew off in search of the others.
Matt and Agapi gathered the others into the field. Matt stood with Agapi behind him.
"Watch this." Matt said. Agapi roared and began to shift. His wings curled around Matt's body, his head on Matt's shoulder, his tail on Matt's right arm, his legs over Matt's legs, and Matt's left arm covered in scales, with a clawed hand.
"Awesome." Connor whispered. The wings unfolded from his chest to reveal the dragons ribcage. The wings pumped several times, and Matt rose a few feet in the air. He glanced down when he saw his friends getting shorter. He screamed and fell to the ground, with Agapi shifting into dragon form. Seth was the first to laugh.
Two months later everyone had perfected fighting with their dragons. They fought as a mixture of man and dragon, decimating their opponents. Chaos called them into the main hall.
"Before I deem you ready to fight the gods, I want you to prove yourselves to me. You will fight as a team, and if you cannot do this you will never beat the Gods. Your task is to bring me the head of the titans Krios, Coeus, Hyperion, Oceanus, Perses, Pallus, Atlas, and Epimetheus. And by the way, you can't use your dragons. Dismissed."
*Authors Note*
I decided to redo this chapter a little and release it again. The next chapter is still in the works, and should come out soon.
