Chapter 2: I Have Answered the CALL
It has exactly been 4 years since I have accepted Reyna and Silver's offer to serve Lady Chaos, I was expecting I will be directly transported to her and start training but what I didn't expect was that I have to train and study (I spat at the word) in the Twilight Zone, the place where Reyna transformed and where I met my annoying, carefree, reckless, troublesome yet loving brother Silver (son of Neptune by the way).
Silver isn't actually his real name it's just a nick name for him because of his eyes, his eyes were supposed to be icy blue but when the moonlight shine through it turn literally Silver (I don't know what the fuss was all about it just turn silver what special about it?). His true name is Kalthar Lycian he was a soldier, a knight and also Praetor before he served Lady Chaos (and he is as old as the Roman Empire though that is another story) and also he is the Lieutenant Commander of the Night Cavalry under the command of Lady Nyx.
Reyna is still Reyna she just joined Lady Chaos when (Annabeth and I, it still hurts to say her name) destroyed her home she also trained here with Silver and another girl (she said I need to ask Silver for that information she won't tell me why, personal I guess) for 4 years she trained here also and when she met me she already finished her training and got her position as the lieutenant of the huntress under the command of Lady Nyx
I gained answer on some of my question like what is Twilight Zone. Twilight Zone is the forest sacred to Lord Pan and Lady Nyx (Primordial Goddess of Night, met her once and almost got hunted, it scared me how she looked like Lady Artemis and acted like her) Lady Nyx blessed this forest so that it is always night and a sanctuary for us who is serving under Lady Chaos.
I also ask what is the rules though Silver just laughed at me "Why brother are you going to follow them?" he asked me grinning which made me blush in embarrassment
"Of course I will" I said looking at my shoes but then heard Reyna answered my question though I still heard Silver snickering in the background
"The rules depend on what group you will be assigned after your training" Reyna said before a howl pierced the night
Reyna looked at the sky then disappeared in the night; I looked at Silver hoping he's going to explain he looked at me then said "The Huntress are moving out, ready to hunt, do not worry they will not attack unless they are threatened" and that was the end of the conversation
Ok back to the topic my training was supervised by the Praetors (Reyna and Silver if anyone is asking) 1 year of training in Twilight Zone was to enhance my physical capability, Oh Joy, work outs, yippee see how happy I am (note the sarcasm please)
3 words to describe my 1 year training with Silver alone, listen carefully for I will not repeat this again (inhale and exhale) THIS IS SPARTA! Meaning hell! Have you experienced waking up 3 o'clock in the morning with an ear splitting howl right beside your ear and practically run 100 laps around the Twilight Zone (every part of Twilight Zone had specific area and this area a specifically used for physical training Silver told me) and you think it's clear? HELL NO! It's like an obstacle course evading branches and gnarled root as well as killing all beasts that thinks I'm breakfast.
After that warm up (yes people it's just a warm up) I have to do push up until Silver said enough and trust me Silver is the kind of man who always said "NO PAIN NO GAIN" meaning looooooonnggggg time before he said enough
After he finally said enough he gave me one minute water brake and let me do curl up and like push up I can't stop without him saying enough (if I try to stop without having him said enough I felt as if I took a dip in the river of Styx again except 10 times worst)
After that he let me punch or kick a big rock to crumbs and that create a bloody hand an feet and a whole lot of pain (Regire instinct, my power of numbness seem are not enough to numb this pain) after that he let me go to sleep and that is only the first day of training.
As day go pass the training got harder 100 laps are added every day, push up and curl up are longer and the rock grew bigger until the day came that my 1st year training ended, but it doesn't end there.
My 2nd year training started 2 weeks after the first one and this time it focuses on developing my senses and making my instinct grew stronger.
Reyna is the one who will be teaching me this year, she's strict but not as strict as Silver so it was not totally hell but her ways are enough to make it count.
First day she made me explore the Twilight forest (this is a different area used for this specific training) and trust me I got lost the first step I taken in this forest in took me a while before I expand my senses and found my way back after that she made me different exercise, not as hard as Silver exercise it's just weird.
Like making me focus on my breathing whenever I sleeps (I planned on just snoozing off but then I felt a shock run through my body the same voltage Thalia used on me every time except more painful, so I obeyed her command) and other stuff like that
3 month before my 2nd training ends Reyna told me about Regire Instinct
"That instinct on which you called Regire" Reyna said sitting cross legged at a flat rock patting beside her indicating me to sit down beside her.
"Is an instinct that we Humans have lost centuries ago" Reyna continued "That instinct is used for hunting and for sensing danger but that instinct is not lost to us demigod because it is awakened by our God side"
"Though it is greatly weakened because we rarely awakened it and only used it when we are in a battle or war" Reyna said standing up then faced me "Yours is awakened by your anger and for the breach of you personal flaw which not only awakened your instinct but also make it stronger"
Then I remembered the fire that slowly kept getting hotter and bigger is that by any chance…. And then I remembered when I took a dip in the River of Styx the instinct that made me defeat Lord Hades…
"Did you know why sometimes other humans said to those who are brave, stubborn and courageous that they have a hot fire burning in them" Reyna asked me
"Yes" I replied
"That is the 7th sense, they call it the hunter's sense, it is in the form of a fire" Reyna said smiling at me though it is not a friendly smile "Because they used it when Humans are still hunting for their food"
Then as fast as lightning Reyna throw her dagger at me with great accuracy then my Regire instinct came to action I tilted my head and as the dagger pass, I twist my body grabbing the dagger by the hilt and return it back to her with an equal force but she caught it by her hand then sheathed it back.
"I have trained your other senses now it is time for me to train your Hunter's sense" Reyna said she looked at me, then softly a strange light, dark fire started in her eyes then slowly spread to her whole body.
I stood there, shock on what is happening then I snapped back to attention, I was about to find some water but then the flames slowly formed a shape.
The light black flame detached from Reyna's body and slowly form and solidified into a shape of a wolf the size of a horse and then what shocked me most, Reyna's shadow is slowly mixing with the strange fire creature until finally it became a real creature.
There stood a wolf black as midnight with 2 eyes that is gold and silver looking through me and with a cross scar in its face and the size of a horse looking down at me.
"Percy meet Blackfur, Blackfur meet Percy" Reyna introduced looking at me smirking, I stood there still processing what happened
"Every Hunter's sense form a shape Percy" Reyna explained to me "And its shape coordinate on many things like your favorite animal or something"
"Try to call your hunter's sense and let it be solidified in its shape" Reyna instructed me
I took a deep breath then slowly let it out; I repeated the motion until I calmed down and tried what Reyna had said (It's no use asking because it will only result for more question)
I closed my eyes and looked deep inside of me, on where the flame I felt in my body
I concentrated all my mind and will to look in that place and I noticed the flame for the first time
It was light green with specks of red and blazing around like the sea and then I noticed the chain, some black chain is surrounding the flame always moving never stopping and then I was lost what will I have to do now?
And then Reyna's fire Blackfur came to me, it stood there looking at me and then in the chains, then slowly he bit one of the chains and pull and I felt turmoil inside of me, Blackfur kept biting and pulling until it said in my mind "You have to let go of your anger and sadness demigod" it said to me
I looked at it and it looked at me then growled and when he bit it off I was pulled in a vision, there I found my anger at Gladius for stealing my life and sadness for feeling alone, it was so powerful it made me want to destroy everything in my path kill everyone for leaving me, I will slowly cut them into pieces burn them an-
A light distracted me from my thought and from that light slowly stepped out a magnificent beast it is a combination of a half black wolf and half silver scaled dragon
The wolf is like covered with a dragon scale armor, its head upper snout to ears are dragon and the teeth are slightly longer, the underbelly and front neck are dragon scale as well as its paws and tail, it also have a dragon wings
It looked at me and I saw my happiness, when my parents celebrated my birthdays, all my quest and many more, slowly I felt the chains weaken and melt as the fire burst through at off me and before I came back to the world the wolf-dragon beast slowly disappear in blue with speck of silver flame.
When I opened my eyes I felt it glowing feeling as heat rushed through my body growing hotter and hotter until I felt I was burning alive but slowly I felt it detached from myself and I felt something move from my inner self and when I looked beside me a found myself facing a green eyed girl.
The girl is as tall as me (and that is telling something) with Dark green hair, the color of leaves with a stripes of red she's wearing the same suit as Reyna and Silver except her is dark blue and silver, she have 2 hunting knives as long as her arm in her waist a quiver in her back and a bow in her arm.
I felt bonded to her like she's my everything; we kept looking at each other until Reyna cleared her throat.
"I believe you have a name for your instinct right?" Reyna asked
We both looked at her then said without thinking "Regire"
Reyna and her bond (that is what they called at their own instinct who have been freed, I knew it as the word popped in my mind) looked at each other before they grinned at us (yes Blackfur also grinned) "That doesn't like a girl's name" Reyna said before I throw my sword and Regire throw her knife and from that day on I found the thing that made my life complete
After my 2nd year training I was given 1 week rest then my 3rd year training started and this training was something I was grateful for.
Silver is my mentor again which made me tense this must be hell again I thought but then Regire calmed me down thinking this must be different (I learned many things about Regire in my 2nd year training and they are like living beings who you can count to and also have their own mind and feelings)
Silver looked at me his face expressionless and said in a monotone voice "This year I will train you how to master your emotions and you're bond will be a great help on this one" he said then walk through the forest.
I followed him and stopped as we came on a clearing with a waterfall falling down from the cliffs and a deep pit at the other side
Silver stopped and then looked at me slowly he sat and motioned me to go to the waterfall
As I got there he told me to sit in the rock on the middle of the waterfalls and as I followed his order he looked at me then said "This is the start of your training" and I blacked out
(A/N: I don't want you to bore on this type of things so I'll just skip it, it's about all his challenges, pain, misery and many more there's nothing important about this later on so I will skip this one)
I woke up sweating and tired and found myself in the middle of the waterfall and the bottomless pit I froze but my face showed no expression, I looked at Silver who is standing looking at me with a smile on his face
"You survive" he said
"What do you mean you survive?" I said looking at him
"Many died at this type of test, sometimes they never woke up or drown or fall at the pit" He said
"Why?" I said confuse but not showing it
"Don't know" Silver shrugged his powerful shoulders "I just know its mechanics but don't know how it works" Silver said
"Once you let your emotions over power you, you will slowly make way and fall to that pit and if you let it kept pouring in you yet ignore it you will slowly drown you need to balance it, not too much and not too few, got it?" Silver asked me
I smiled and nod
"Good you can have your 1 week rest and your last year training will start" Silver said
"WHAT!" I yelled confused
Silver just smirked at me and said "You have been asleep for 1 year brother" and then he left
I spent my 1 week vacation eating and training sleep doesn't, come to me that easy considering I slept for a whole year and the day came for my last training year.
Reyna is going to teach me this year and she's going to teach me knowledge (I spat at the word) ugh after seeing the incident in the Zeus fist I practically hate that word.
So basically she just forcefully read me some thick books let it burn through my mind and then answer the question like schooldays I guess except the only subject are Math, History, Mythology and tactics and no breaks either so pretty much this is worst than 1st year training.
Every day's a torture (and trusts me that is only where Reyna excelled) but I kept reminding me my goal whenever I tempted to give up and Regire there always helping me out and inspiring me until the day finally came and my 4th year training here is done.
~~~~~~~~~LINE BREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Did you have fun in our training Percy?" Silver said when giving me a coke
We were sitting in the beach, my 4th year training end this day and Silver decided to celebrate because I survived his training (he said that all those he trained died on the first day, shocking right?)So were here in the beach enjoying this night (Twilight Zone blessing, always night)
"Reyna will join us later since her groups are hunting" Silver said sat beside me, sipping at his coke then stared at the crescent moon.
I decided this was the time I asked him about Reyna's other mentor that thought keep buzzing in my mind like it was something important.
"Silver can I ask you a question?" I asked
"Shoot" He said
"The girl that Reyna told me," I saw him tensed "She said she was also a mentor, I was wondering who she is" I asked looking at my feet, scared if I trespassed some invisible line
After a while he didn't answer so I slowly looked up at him and saw him staring at me, he still wore that mask and that outfit the same on the day I met him, I froze he had that effect that when you looked at him in the eye you can't move or talk like a drakon eyes.
He closed his eyes and sigh then looked at the sea he said something and I have to lean in to hear it
"She was our sister" he said "My fully blooded Sister" then looked at me then smiled softly
"I guess you deserved to know my past" he finally said and then touch my forehead with his forefinger and I saw a vision.
There stood a beautiful Goddess which I recognized as Lady Nyx and beside her stood my father except he is in his roman form Neptune
Lady Nyx seems to be cradling a baby girl (I learned it was a girl because her hair is longer) and beside father stood a 4 year old child and when I looked closely at him I was shocked, this was Silver childhood memory!
Silver as a child is the same except more small and without a mask and there I saw his face which I won't forget his eyes did not hold the same coldness today it holds curiosity and innocence his facial feature remind me of a natural born hunter and leader, he wore a black tunic with silver marking that hugged his body and a white long sleeved vest with dark blue markings on side, his pant is also white with dark blue marking with a roman sandal, he also had a midnight black cape and a silver crown tilted to his side and all in all he looked like a troublemaker prince.
Father wore his roman general armor and Lady Nyx as usual wore her hunting outfit
"It seem like we have a Princess coming huh" Neptune aid to Lady Nyx
"I believe so at least you will no longer feel lonely Silver" Lady Nyx said
"So I can play with her?" Silver said to Lady Nyx his voice melodious which surprised me his voice was supposed to be different
"Not to day you won't you have to wait until she got older" Neptune said to Silver
Silver pouted but smiled and nodded both Lady Nyx and Neptune laughed
Then the vision dissolved and a new one is forming it was the same baby girl except she looked like 16 years old, both her and Silver who is 19 years old were kneeling and talking to some king
"Thou hast served me well, are you sure about your decision?" The King asked
"Yes Milord" They both said at the same time, the King sigh
"Very well but please keep in mind that you 2 are still the heir of the throne and I hope you accept when you are needed most by our people" The King said then stood up toward the 2 kneeling brother and sister then put his hand on their shoulders
"I give you my blessing" the King said then the vision dissolved again and a new one is forming
I saw Silver the same age when I met him standing with his bow out and drawn and I looked on where he was pointing and saw our sister chained in a weight thing and the Giant Otis in the middle of it
"You have to choose Son of Neptune" Otis said grinning and spreading his hand wide
"Your beloved Sister or a Goddess you didn't even know" Otis said mentioning the 2 girl in the weight thingy.
"And don't even ask for help or guidance because our patron made this area unreachable" Otis said before giving a booming laugh
I looked at the other figure I didn't notice before and was shocked on what I saw, I saw Lady Diana chained like Silver's sister
"CHOOSE SON OF NEPTUNE!" Otis yelled at him
I looked at Silver and saw something glittering slide down on his cheek his arrow pointing on Lady Diana
Otis saw this and grins then said "Good choice Son of Neptune, of course who would try to save a person they did not met before"
"If you kill her, her blood will be the sacrifice for Terra and she will awaken stronger than before because a demigod offered her the blood of a God, Olympian nonetheless" Otis said laughing again
But then I saw Silver sister looked at Silver's eyes and something passes among them and this time tears are freely running down on Silver's face
"And you would not want to kill your sister now aren't you?" Otis continued not noticing the brother and sister silent communication
"For you loved her to the extent you will do anything for her and if her blood spill the earth Terra will weaken and will take century before he awaken again" Otis said looking at Silver smiling "And she will not be as powerful as before so choose Son of Neptune, what is right or what you want?"
I saw Silver body shook at first I thought he was going to cry his eyes out right here but his honor and hatred at the Giant overpower his emotion and stood there bow drawn ready to fire
Slowly I saw him shift his bow so now it's pointing toward our Sister, Otis didn't seem to notice and I saw Silver's Sister smile and sigh
And next thing that happened will be forever be branded in my mind, Silver let the arrow fly and its power and accuracy hit his Sister straight in the heart
I saw Otis eyes widened and gave a howl that chilled me to the bones
"NO!" Otis yelled slowly fading in the wind like how monster disintegrate
"WE WERE SO SURE YOU WILL KILL DIANA WHY!? WHY DID YOU NOT KILL THE GODDESS" Otis kept yelling the same sentence over and over until he disappeared in the wind
Silver wasted no time and jumped to save his sister first cutting the chains like butter and placing her in the land and he let it rain so it will help her regenerate and slowly he heal her wounds, I thought for a second there that she will just left Lady Diana there hanging but when the weight thingy cracked and slowly crumbled to the earth he then run toward the Goddess and did the same thing he did with his Sister.
The vision slowly faded as I came back to the world but before the vision fade I heard Silver said his Sister's name "Ylythea….." and then I came back to the world.
I sat there blinking the vision away thinking it would come back but to no avail it didn't so I sat there in silence.
"You must be wondering why I killed her rather than Lady Diana" Silver said looking at the sea
I looked at him and for the first time I saw him as a sad boy that lost his sister, I don't feel like to talk so I just nodded.
"Because even though if I save her she will only hate me and avoid me and yelled me for being stupid" Silver said pulling his left hand in front of him and he examined it.
"After that incident I tried my best in healing her but as I was healing her she told me to move on and let go of me" Silver said opening his hand and slowly a pure light blue flame appeared in his palm
"If you truly love me let go of me brother she said" Silver said sadly his voice cracking his fire growing hotter and brighter
"And I watched as she placed her hand on my neck and kissed me in the lips then whispered in my ear" Silver said extinguishing the fire and looked at me I saw his eyes and saw the raging turmoil in his soul
"If you were not my brother I would have loved you with all my heart and I will break my oath just to be with you she said as I watched her die" Silver said then sigh
"After that it took a while before I recovered and then I gather the energy that is left in me and carry both of them out of that place and in the sea and saw dad there standing waiting for me and beside him stood Lady Vesta" Silver continued
"I gave them Lady Diana but dad came to me and hugged me then took Ylythea body from me and said I will give her the best burial ceremony ever" Silver ended leaning back with his hand behind him and one legged bended toward his body
After that Reyna appeared and Silver came back to his old self chatting talking but no amount of things will make me forgot what Silver told me.
While we were celebrating Lady Chaos appeared before us wearing a simple jean and black t-shirt, she had a rubber shoes, and her black hair is tied in a ponytail with streaks of silver her dark brown eyes looked at me with such intensity I felt my body tense but Silver touched my shoulder and the spell broken.
Lady Chaos looked at Silver annoyed but let it go in my standards she looked beautiful but after seeing Silver memory I became wary of them not scared or angry just wary (and also from my personal experience).
"So the trainings done?" Lady Chaos asked Silver
"Yes" Silver said rolling his eyes
"Very well, where do you think he will fit" Lady Chaos asked again pointing at me
Both Reyna and Silver looked at me critically then looked at each other
"Warrior's" They both said in unison and Lady Chaos smiled
"Finally, I thought it will take years before I found my commander" Lady Chaos said smiling at me and then her words registered to me
My eyes widen and she laughed then asked "So will you accept my offer son of Poseidon will you be my Commander for the Warrior of stars?"
There's no room for doubt or hesitation "I accept" I said with honor and from the side I saw Reyna smile
"Good then what is your name Commander?" Lady Chaos asked but then something holds me back from saying Perseus Jackson and I heard Regire said what was troubling me
"A new start, a new beginning and a new name my bond" Regire said in my mind and something flashed in my lesson with Reyna
"Abaddon or Apollyon meaning destruction and ruination" I said as Lady Chaos smiled and put his finger on my forehead
"Welcome Commander Abaddon" Lady Chaos said as I blacked out
~~~~~~~~~~~LINE BREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being in the warriors is fun that I can say they're like me ready to fight for what they believe and doesn't take orders to anyone except on those they respect
4 years has past when I became the Commander of the warriors and that task is not easy though little by little I gained their respect making our bond together unbreakable, we fight together and die together, we fought many rebels to Lady Chaos and that earned us a reputation they fear and respected us.
8 years has past when I left Camp Half-blood without a second thought and found new family and friends but that all change when something terrible happened
The Assassins had given the call and all those who served under Lady Chaos must answer it for the greatest threat has been threatening us but what shocked me most is that we pinpointed on where the call has been given and it showed us Camp-halfblood.
I watched as they fight the hordes of monster that was attacking the camp, Assassins are more of a stealth and spy type of a warrior they're not really good at fighting head on so I decide to end their torment and joined the Battle I shout my war cry.
"THIS IS WHERE WE FIGHT, THIS IS WERE THEY DIE" (A/N: this is the battle cry of King Leonidas when he was marching up his 300 Spartans) I shouted to the top of my voice and let my power as storm bringer emerged
"HELP OUR ALLIES, FIGHT OUR ENEMY, KILL THOSE WHO STAND" I pause for a little and let thunder boom for effect "IN OUR WAY FOR VICTORY" and I let the lightning loose and we charged me leading them to the front.
The war cry was kept repeating by my brothers booming louder and louder until the whole battlefield was echoing by our war cry as the Assassins took up the chant and we cut through the enemy ranks.
We kill everything in sight until finally the battle was over and we Warrior's stood there bloody and our head aim high surrounded by the corpses of our enemy
I was standing in front of the Campers and Assassin my brothers behind me as they formed rank, I was wearing my full dark green and black knight body armor and not an inch of skin is visible with my dark blue cape billowing behind me, my two stand bearers stood beside me holding a tattered and bloody flag waving in the wind (The flag was simple it showed two knights back to back with chains surrounding them and corpse around them, the knight are black with their eyes glowing and the chains is light blue and the background bloody red)
I stabbed my sword (Riptide change think of it like the Blade of Olympus in God of War) to the ground that created a mild earthquake and slowly I took off my helm
The Campers stood there shocked and looking at me but I was not looking at them, I am looking at the General of the Assassins named Adrastos meaning inescapable
With the most Commanding voice I could muster I yelled with such intensity that the Campers took a step back "Commander Abaddon of the Warriors of the Star is reporting for duty and" and I smirked at the campers though I never took my eyes out of Adrastos (that would mean disrespect)
"I Have Answered the Call" I said as my brothers give a war cry
(A/N: I am planning on making it romance but can't find the right girl to do so, so I decided to make this story and let every girl though not all of them like Percy but if you want some real pairings just type it in the review)
