Chapter 1: Training my till I'm nearly dead
1000 years ago
(Alpha pov)
"I see, you have perfected you weapon skills. You can even shoot an arrow straight." Chaos said with a hint of awe in his voice.
"I had a great teacher."
"Now you I shall teach you how to control your godly powers. My blessing also gave you the capacity to use some of the other gods' power. I shall teach you how to use some things like how to master Zeus's thunder and how to fly." I must've looked at him funny because he told me it was true.
That night I went for a swim to relax, I took off my hoddie and went for a long relaxing swim. It was 1am and I thought no one would be here, how wrong I was. As I was swimming freestyle in the pool chaos created, I accidentally hit someone's head. For that I received a smack. I turned around and saw something I would never believe, it was Zoe Nightshade.
She was about to smack me again when she saw me. "Why is thee here?" She asked uncertainly. I was not to know that we both thought this was a dream. I suddenly grabbed her and hugged her. I the begun crying like a wuss, she pinched herself before muttering that this isn't a dream. "Percy, why are you crying? I though you would be happy to see thee." I looked into her black eyes, then at here brunette hair and replied, "You are my first friend I met in a long time. Annabeth is dead and the campers betrayed me…" She looked shocked at my emotional breakdown, but she tried her best to calm me down.
The next few years were heaven. Zoe and I begun dating and she taught me how to shoot better. Chaos continued teaching me how to use my godly powers. In the night Zoe and I slept together (she has finally stopped hating boys), we often had very steam make out sessions at night. My tongue wrestling hers.
"This is your final test Percy. If you win you shall be an assassin and a commander. You shall have an army if you past this test." 500 automatons came out from the gates. These weren't your everyday automatons. Those automatons were made of celestial bronze, almost impossible to damage. With a roar of defiance I charged, I sidestepped a slash and kicked that automaton, sending it flying into the ones behind it. Quickly I uncapped riptide, my sword was blessed so it can easily penetrate these automaton armour.
The fight rages on, I battered the automatons with water, thunder and hurricanes. They kept coming; my sword was an ark of destruction as I plummeted into them. I've lost my Achilles curse, because when Annabeth died my connection was cut. I was in my own personal hurricane. My brain was working overtime, roll, slash, block, dodge, use powers. I instinctively fought, letting my ADHD take over. When I got grazed by a cut I got extremely mad.
I grabbed 2 automatons and smashed them on the ground, an earthquake suddenly shook the arena. The remaining enemies were sent sprawling on the floor. After the fight that last 2 hours, I was exhausted. "Well done Perseus, I appoint you Alpha, the commander of Squad Alpha and the 2nd in charge after me.
I was frightened by my own abilities, 500 years ago I wouldn't have stand a chance against 10. Yet today I killed 500 automatons. I could see a black aura of power that I was emitting, I realise that this was because of Chaos, this must've happened after I mastered the potential of his blessing. Around me soldiers were staring at me in awe. A wave of exhaustion washed over me, after the exhilaration wore of, I realised how tired I was. I closed my eyes and collapsed on the spot, the last thing I saw was Zoe catching me. I happily past out in her soft yet firm arms.
I awoke gasping. "How long have I been out?" I asked, seeing chaos by my side and Zoe sleeping on the chair beside me. "About a month, Zoe has been caring for you all this time. The test drained you a lot." Holy shit, I got up and headed to the arena, I need to practice now.
