" Percy's voice when he wears the mask "

Azron is now percy, name change, not gonna give any more reminders .
~ Azron POV ~
I woke up, feeling something furry on my chest " unngh ….. Damn, my head hurts " I sat up, looking around, and noticed the huge black rat on my chest " AGH! " I swiped at it, and it jumped off my chest, landing on the floor. I watched it carefully, but it was not really doing anything aggressive " What do you want, Huh? " I said, as I knelt, looking at it. It just rubbed it's face with it's paws. Looking at me " hmm, what's this? " I asked, as I noticed some markings on it's belly. I carefully flipped it over gently, and noticed that the mark on it's belly looked like a smaller version of the mark on my hand " huh, the Outsider must've sent you to help me out. " I said to myself, as it climbed up onto my hand and ran up my shoulder, sitting there. " Great, " I said to myself " now I look like a Frickin Pirate, oh well, guess you'll be coming along for a while …. Gonna need a name, " I said, thinking for a bit " how about Midnight? " I said, thinking of it's dark fur, strangely, the rat almost seemed to nod, before crawling down into one of my robe pockets " hmm …. Strange. " I muttered, I looked around for a bit, seeing I was in an alley, and I could see some Purple lights coming from under a door, when all of a sudden I heard the Outside in my head as he appeared in front of me " behind this door is another Rune, Azron. I've almost forgotten to give you this " he said, pulling a Heart from inside his robes, with bits of bone in it "this will help you find more Runes and Bone Charms, in order to grant you more power, now remember, Find Daud. I'll be watching, Azron. " he said, Slowly fading away " well, that's not creepy at all …. " I didn't really see any other choice, though. So I picked up the heart, and it showed me a way into the room, as I picked up the rune I felt the same rush of power as it disappeared, and new knowledge entered my head, I felt much stronger and found I could jump much higher and run a lot faster " sweet, " I muttered to myself, and then I slipped and fell, of course. And as I fell I felt something digging into my side " Ugh, what the hell? " I muttered, standing up and searching through my pockets, as I pulled out a black box, around the size of a shoebox, and opened it, finding a Knife and a creepy mask,
~ Flashback, Percy POV, Just before leaving Olympus ~
" Percy! " I heard someone yell, as I reached the elevator, I turned around to see Hephaestus wobbling towards me, holding a box. " wait up! " he said, when he finally reached me, his face a bit red, i said " yeah? What do you want, Hephaestus? " and as an awnser, he held out the box and opened it, I Whistled at what was inside, a Long, black handled dagger that looked extremely sharp, and a creepy mask, all black, with what looked like red eyes, but as I looked closer I saw it was tinted glass, it looked creepy, somewhat like a mix between a skeletons skull and a Zombie's jaw.
" I made these for you, perseus, " he said, picking up the mask and tossing it to me " here, go ahead, try it on! " he said, looking eager, I sighed, as I grabbed it and put it on, I immediately felt a strange sucking sensation, and tried to pull it off to find I couldn't " What the hell? " I muttered, pulling at it " Stop! " Hephaestus said, pulling my hands away " here! " he said, pushing a piece just above my ear, it loosened immediately and fell off into my hand " the glass is enchanted and so is the mask, it will protect you against most projectiles and the glass looks like it's not even there, you can also zoom in on far away items! Just think about them being closer for it to zoom, and farther to zoom back out. " he said, " it can only be removed by me or you, or anyone else you say can remove it, but you have to give them permission, I made it so it will fit with your robes! " he said, and then he pointed to the mouth area " it's also enchanted to protect you from any forms of disease or Plague, as long as your wearing it. " he said, " Onto the knife!, " he exclaimed, pulling It out of the box as well, revealing several smaller knives and a few crossbow bolts beneath it " the dagger will fold into the handle, and nothing short of a nuclear blast will break it! It's completely Concealable and enchanted to always be razor sharp, and it wont kill you or inflict life threatening wounds on you either, " he grinned at me then, " one of my best creations! And then there are some throwing knives I made for you, they are enchanted to return to you every ten seconds after one is used. The crossbow bolts are not magical, but extremely sharp and deadly, and can fly across great distances!"
he finished, grinning madly and looking happy. He immediately looked Shocked, though. As I hugged him. " thank you, Hephaestus. " I said, still hugging him, he awkwardly patted me on the back, muttering " your welcome, percy. " we then said our goodbyes and he waved at me as the elevator doors closed and I left Olympus, oddly I felt that I would not be coming back for a while.
~ End of flashback ~
~ Azron POV ~
" thanks, Hep… " I said, slipping the throwing knives into slots and the dagger into it's slot, as I loaded a crossbow bolt into the crossbow and put the rest in the quiver, suddenly Midnight scurried out of my pocket, running over to a door and scratching at it before crawling under " what is it, Midnight? " I said quietly to myself, sneaking over to the door, stopping as I heard Voices. " Surrender, Daud! You wont be getting away from us now! It's ten of us and one of you! " I crouched down, quickly taking out my dagger and flicking it open as I opened the door and snuck out, seeing a man surrounded by ten people in strange blue uniforms " Hah! You wont be leaving here alive! " he said, though I could see he was wounded, and one of his arms looked dislocated. " Fine by me! " one of the higher ranks spoke, I assumed, " Hard way it is, Get em! " I quickly blinked behind the officer, stabbing him in the neck, before almost jumping back in surprise as his body disappeared just like the Outsiders did, then I quickly shot another guard and killed two with my throwing knives, "Gotcha" I muttered, before I was slammed into the wall by an eleventh guard I had not seen, he raised his blade to stab me, and I kept my eyes open, not wanting to hide from death, as I thought " after all I've done, I'm dying here, in an alley, like this. " I waited for the pain, but it never came, he dropped his blade, clutching at the tip of another that was pointed through his chest. Before it was ripped out and he fell over, dead. Behind him was a masked woman, from what I could tell by her figure, in a strange uniform, with what looked like a machete " Get up, we don't have all day. " she said, as she blinked behind the man called Daud and blocked a strike aimed for his back as he stabbed another guard, I almost chuckled, standing up and shooting another guard in the throat with my crossbow as I blinked behind the one the woman was fighting, stabbing him in the throat before snapping his neck as I pulled it out. We all teamed up and finished off the final one, before we stood, looking at each other. " well then, boy. It appears you've got the talent. " Daud spoke, looking at me before sheathing his blade " my name is Daud, this is my Lieutenant. " the woman said nothing as she looked at me for a while, before she sheathed her blade. " The name's Billie, Billie Lurk. " she said, holding out her hand. I shook both of their hands, sheathing my dagger. " my name is Azron, " I spoke. From what little I knew about daud, from what the outsider had spoken to me of, he lead a group of assassins, I suddenly stopped, thinking. Was this what the outsider meant for my new life? Was I here to join Daud's group of assassins? I couldn't think of any other reason the outsider would have put me right near daud when he was in trouble, finished with my thoughts. I turned and looked at Daud. " And I would like to join your outfit, I ask you to teach me the ways of an assassin, " to my surprise, he merely Grinned. " I was hoping you would say that. " he said, " follow me, I'll test you, and maybe then we will see if your worthy "
~ time skip, Billie's POV ~
This is nuts, I thought. Watching Daud and the new recruit, Azron, Spar. He almost matched Daud in his stealth and swordsmanship, and was even more accurate than him in marksmanship with the crossbow, though it appeared he had little control over his powers, he surprised daud a few times by Blinking behind him and slashing at his back, how had we not noticed him before? He had insane skill, he had to have learned it from somewhere! But everything my informants dug up for me knew nothing about this " Azron " and that worried me. We had spies and informants in every branch of the government and gangs across all of dunwall and beyond, and none of them knew a thing about him! I walked up, as they finished their spar, Azron's blade at dauds heart and Daud's at his throat
~ Daud's POV ~
this kid has skill, I admitted to myself as we were sparring, I was currently going about 80%, of my full skills and power, and we had tied! We both stood up, he bowed to me before sheathing his blade, I think I surprised him a bit when I bowed as well, this kid …. I thought, this kid could change everything, " Azron … " I said, " I think you should become my lieutenant, along with Billie. " he was Visibly shocked at that, almost falling over " I'm sorry, can you repeat that? " he said, " I only have one condition for this, " I said, ignoring that because I knew it was more of shock then lack of hearing. " remove your mask, and let me see your face."
~ Azron POV ~
when I said I wanted to join his group, I didn't think he would immediately place me as his second in command! I thought about it for a moment, before I took off my mask, revealing my face, which had a scar over my left eye, I got it when I lost the curse of Achilles after annabeth tried to kill me, as I fell and landed on backbiter, fortunately, it was only a shard, so I obviously did not die. But Apollo told me it would never heal. My Black eyes, though it was only the pupils and irises that were black, and my short, black hair. I decided to cut it close after I received the blessings.
" I'll remove my mask, " I said, dropping it to the floor " but only to you and Her, and I don't want to be your Second in Command, place me as the Lowest rank you have, I'll earn my way to the top. " I said, somewhat boldly I realized, considering I was not really in any position to make demands, but he just chuckled " that's what I thought. Go ahead and put your mask back on, Billie will show you to your room. As I walked out of the training room, I thought to myself, " I think I'll like it here … "
~ timeskip, Five Years. Azron POV ~
Daud and I are now partners, of equal rank, it took me five years to earn this position, but we both know I still answer to him, he has treated me like a father, and I know I will never go back on that, he adopted me about a year ago, when I was just a Middle rank moving up to High rank. The assassins are not at all what I thought they would be, when we are alone we are like a huge family, but on contracts and mission we are all business, I thought they would be cold and logical, especially Daud, but it's almost the exact opposite. Me and billie have started to go out together, surprising how you find love in the middle of a Tyrannical takeover and deadly plague. I've got to sleep soon, going to meet billie on the roof early in the morning, I think this journal has helped me, somewhat, I've gotten used to this new life, and I love it. Time to sleep now, maybe I'll write again in the morning
