Hie, as I promised, here's chapter 2. Now I've been receiving comments that my chapters are awfully short and that they're rushed (no offense meant, PercyJacksonfan4life). I realize that, but if the chapters were longer, they'd get long winded and have too many confusing details. Excuse my incompetence, but I've no one to support my work but my loyal readers. For that, I thank you.

As for my requested number of reviews, right now I have 8, for chapter 1 alone. Prologue chapter 3 had 5 reviews, prologue chapter 2 had three and prologue chapter 1 had, well, one. See, only if I make such a demand will you review. I'm sorry, but it's true.

Anyway, review answers:

SONxOFxCHAOS: Thank You very much. True, I'll have to keep writing, but then that's what this website is for right?

TheShadow207: Thanks, you too.

JennStarr: Don't you worry about him, he's perfectly fine. And thank you.

Booklover0608: Thank you for your numerous positive comments. I'll make sure to have Percy confront them in a calm manner. Oops, spoilers.

smegol26: Haven't decided who to put him up with yet. Will decide to go with the flow, or the number of votes on my profile, if anyone votes at all.

Kingofpop12345: You obviously haven't read 'Athlon, Chaos' Commander of the Universe' by Lmb111514. This author's story is downright amazing.

PercyJacksonfan4life: As written above, no offense meant in any way. Too many details makes a story cheesy.

Goddess of the Dark Flame: Here you go, then.

Chapter 2: Major Council

TIME SKIP (10 HOURS)

Lukewarm finally arrived within range of Chaos and I gave my passcode to the traffic controller. Lukewarm was allowed in and she docked beside my quarters. As Chaos' Assassin, I was allowed certain privileges.

Barely a minute after I entered my quarters, another agent came to find me.

"Agent Sigma, Lord Chaos requests your presence in the council chamber immediately. And prepare yourself, he said." The attendant said, clearly worried about something.

I got worried too. Maybe Lord Chaos found out about my little visit to Earth and was planning to punish me for being discovered by Blackjack. I thanked the attendant as he left and quickly changed into some formal wear, namely a suit and my personal mask to hide my face.

I arrived exactly three seconds early and rushed to my designated seat. That way, Lord Chaos can't scold me for being tardy anymore. I got an unexpected shock suddenly when I touched my seat, literally an electric shock, like the ones Thalia used to give me.

Lord Chaos appeared out of a portal and smirked at me, because I was flat on the floor due to the shock. Then, his expression turned serious and he motioned for me to stand beside him. I was thoroughly confused now.

I promptly ran to his side and he sat down with all the other agents. The 7 other agents were varied. I was the only assassin, while there are also 2 peacekeepers, 1 negotiator, 1 warrior, 2 swordsmen, and 1 strategist.

Chaos stood up, all eyes fixed on him. "I have an announcement to make. As you all know, Agent Alpha, the General and Agent Micro, the Commander-In-Chief of my army are soon to be retiring and I need replacements for them."

"Would any like to volunteer before we start nominating people for the task?" To no one's surprise, not a single hand went up. The General and Commander-In-Chief positions would earns you a lot of respect, yes, but the responsibilities that came with it were stressful enough to put you at wit's end. And maybe even at the end of your life. Just joking, the powers that came with the positions made you practically immortal and invincible.

"Alright then, let us begin nominations." I felt really uncomfortable having to stand up while everyone else was seated. It seems Chaos can sense our emotions too, because he told me to sit at the far end of the table, where Agent Delta, the strategist, usually sat. Today she was away, revising a strategy on the planet Neptune which was at war with Saturn over some crazy item. It was an enchanted weapon. I forgot what the weapon was. My seat remained empty as Chaos resumed the council.

For the General position, Omega, Epsilon and Gamma were nominated and Gamma got the job, as she was the best negotiator found so far. It's true, nearly every negotiation she oversaw was almost too peaceful even without any armed guards around. It was as if she could convince them to agree just by suggesting the solution and looking pretty.

For the Commander-In-Chief position, Beta, Lambda and surprisingly me, were nominated and the vote was tied between me and Beta. In the end, Beta received the position albeit begrudgingly.

"Why me?" A low voice sounded from behind Beta's mask.

I admit, I was kinda disappointed, yet at the same time, relieved for reasons stated earlier.

With that, the council ended. As I got up to leave, Lord Chaos called out to me and requested that I stay with Beta and Gamma for a moment. I got real worried as I watched my other comrades leave.

A moment later, Chaos cast a silence spell on the room walls and beckoned the three of us nearer.

"Agents Beta and Gamma, congratulations on your promotions. The reason I told the three of you to stay momentarily is so that I may convey a special piece of news to you."

"Excuse me, Lord Chaos." I interrupted him. "I understand the reason that you called Agents Beta and Gamma, but why me?"

"Good question, Agent Sigma. That reason is because I want you as my apprentice." Chaos said with confidence. My jaw dropped. If my jawbone could reach the floor, I'm sure I would have heard a loud "Thump" echoing throughout the chamber.

"Lord Chaos, what do you mean by apprentice?" I asked worriedly. Chaos laughed "Goodness, my boy. Why do you think I fetched you from Earth myself 300 years ago? To make you a heartless assassin? I have been watching you from the moment you entered camp and I feel that you have the potential to do it. Do you accept?"

Agent Beta was staring at Chaos open-mouthed. Apparently he didn't know of my being from Earth or that Chaos fetched me himself. Chaos snapped a finger and Beta's mouth shut with a snap. Gamma on the other hand, was staring at me as if she'd known all along and this just confirmed it.

"Very well, I accept, Lord Chaos. But why did you not inform the entire council of this?" I responded finally.

"Do you really want everyone to know of your apprenticeship? This position after all, would put you at the top of the list of powerful people in the Void below me." I didn't answer. "Just as I thought." Chaos smiled the first real smile I'd seen in a while.

"Ah, yes, I'd forgotten. What were you doing on Earth without specific orders? You usually avoid that planet like a toxic spill." Chaos asked, nearly menacingly, then with humour.

"Uhm, I missed it there...?" I stammered. "I'm so sorry, Lord Chaos. I didn't mean to disobey your orders. It's just that I felt a little homesick and needed some relaxation time, so... I'm so sorry, Lord Chaos, it won't happen again." The words came out my mouth like water in a waterfall after a rainstorm.

Chaos stared at me for a moment before voicing the question I feared from when I left Earth.

"Why did you let the pegasus see you?" I was shaking like a leaf by now and answered the only way I could.

"It was ... an accident?"

Chaos looked at me for a moment them burst out laughing. "Heavens, your expression is priceless. I should have brought my motion-catcher to make fun of you for a couple more centuries."

I looked at him, disbelief spelled all over my face. If you don't believe me try imagining the letters D-I-S-B-E-L-I-E-F written in marker on someone's face. That was what my face looked like. Why? Don't ask me. Ask the creator who had a crazy idea to know what people in the Void were feeling at the time.

Chaos turned serious mode and put on a grim smile, like the one he usually wears before facing me again.

As always, I'm well aware that the chapter is pretty short, but I've elaborated from the original. I'll try to elaborate more next time. Still have the flu. Head spinning etc etc etc. Do review. As noted in the last chapter, 16 reviews or more are required for updates. Until we meet again, ta taa, LJ signing off.
