A/N:
After so long away I have finally returned.
Firstly I would like to apologize for my absence. I just haven't had the time to write.
But over the next few days I am going to write heaps.
I know this chapter is short but I need to get back into writing this again.
Enjoy!
Percy's POV
Reyna and I sat watching TV in the living room for hours. I fell asleep at least 4 times. Then I heard a whoosh sound from outside and the door opened. Thalia walked in flanked by Eddie and Spence. Reyna shot up and looked at the door before lounging back against me again. Eddie sat down with Thalia taking a seat on his lap and Spence sat in one of the lounge chairs.
"What happened," Reyna yawned, wiggling around trying to make herself comfortable.
"We have a professional assassin on our hands," Spence said. Thalia looked at him confused. She looked at Eddie and he nodded.
"You guys never mentioned this at the castle," Thalia said.
"We agreed that we didn't want Ayerf worrying about an assassin going after her family. The less she knows, the less chance she has of being put into the firing line," Eddie replied.
"Give us a rundown then," I said.
"Average height, relatively strong build, tanned complexion, Mohawk, assassin training, I assume by Chaos. Missed anything Spence," Eddie said.
"Blood red eyes," Spence said. Eddie nodded and we all sat in silence.
"So we have a rogue on our hands," Thalia stated.
"Better get back to base and have a word with Chaos," I said before heading into the cockpit. Spence went to hop in his fighter and Eddie sat down next to me. We flew away from Neulara and straight into hyperspace. We went back into the living room and sat down with the girls. We watched some TV and before long the hyper drive stopped and we saw Chaos HQ. Eddie and I quickly got into the cockpit and slowed the ship down. Within minutes we were docked and walking out into HQ. We passed Spence and we all thanked him for coming. He went off to the Omega barracks and we went straight to Chaos' office. We entered to find him reading a book. He looked at us as we entered and gestured to the seats.
"How did the mission go?" Chaos asked.
"As good as an assassination investigation can go really," Thalia replied.
"We have a lead and we believe he trained here under your tutelage," Eddie stated. Chaos looked slightly confused.
"Can I give you a profile?" Eddie asked, eliciting a nod from Chaos.
"Average height, relatively strong build, tanned complexion, Mohawk and blood red eyes," Eddie said. Chaos turned completely white before falling back into his chair.
"He's back," Chaos said, his features gaunt.
"Who might this be?" Reyna questioned. Chaos stood and searched his desk for something. Moments later he picked up the remote for the screen behind him and clicked the on button.
"Eddie, can you bring up the file on Udnoy Gardiyn" Chaos said, sitting down in his chair. Eddie's eye glowed and a face appeared on the screen.
"Is this the man?" Chaos asked Eddie. Eddie simply nodded.
"Udnoy Gardiyn was my commander before you 4. At that time my force was not as large and I could have 1 commander for the whole army. About 30 years before I recruited you, he started to act strangely. He was using powers that he should've had no control over and he was disobeying my orders. Eventually the problem got so bad that I had to demote him to a soldier. In a fit of rage he approached me and told me that he had found a new master, one that allowed him to be free. With that he left. I haven't seen him since. Now it seems, he is back to raze everything that I have worked towards over the last few millennia,"
"Then we are just going to have to stop him," Percy said. Everyone nodded their approval.
Will they be able to find and defeat the rogue.
Hope you enjoyed the return of the Assassins.
But before this chapter ends I would like to propose a competition.
I am in need of some new characters for this story.
So here is the competition: I want you guys to guess what I based Neulara on. I can tell you that it is a fictional medieval kingdom. And that is all I am going to tell you.
PM me your guesses and a description of the character you want me to create for you.
I wish you well and may be the gods be ever in your favor.
