"Master Zander," A voice raised him out of his stupor as he sat on the mat in his training room. There wasn't any light when he meditated because he wanted peace and quiet as well as a dark place to keep him calm. The light illuminating into the room came from the stars and the sun outside. The sun was in the farther distance from them that wouldn't get them burned.

Zander sighed. He just had a quarrel with Melaina and he wanted to cool off before doing anything else. Melaina always pressured him into doing more of his work seriously. He knew he did his job seriously and well. It was obvious since the people he recruited for the Spyridon did their absolute best in training.

"What do you want?" He spoke loudly and coldly which caused the poor boy to shrink in the doorway.

"Lord Erebus and Lady Nyx gave me a message to give to you." The boy said as he showed a black envelope. Zander motioned his hands for the boy to come closer and hand the envelope over. When he did so, Zander grabbed the envelope and thanked the boy.

Once he was alone, he snapped his fingers and the lights flickered on. He moved on and read the letter that was in the envelope.

Dear Zander,

Lord Erebus and I wanted to give you a mission. We do know that this was last minute and wanted to tell you in person but we both had errands to run to. Your mission is to go to Planet Jupiter and fix a quarrel that had been going on for some time. There you would find two siblings fighting on who would get the throne. They had been using an elixir to create more time for themselves to live longer. This elixir was made out of the people they killed in the past. Those poor souls now are in the Underworld because of their doing. Please leave as soon as possible and have a talk with them. If they continue processing this elixir, you know what to do.

Yours truly,

Lady Nyx

Zander put the letter back in the envelope and stood up. He placed the letter on the desk nearest to him and got the sword that was on the floor and placed it back in its sheath. His sword was five feet long and could penetrate and kill anyone in sight as well as the gods and titans. He had a twin one on his back.

He was wearing an armor that was primarily black and gray with maroon greaves and black gauntlets. He wore a utility belt with pouches and sheaths for a sword and staff on his back. His combat military boots that were blessed by his masters so that it wouldn't make a sound. It was best used for assassinations. Although he was a commander, Lady Nyx and Lord Erebus made him an assassin at one point.

He stood six foot and one inch tall. His hair was darker than usual but his gray streak was still present. It was somewhat scraggy and unkempt with two small braids behind his right ear. He changed so quickly over the years and it just stunned Lady Nyx.

Just then a knock on the doorway was heard. There wasn't any door to his training room because no one else went in here but him. If he wanted, he would let Brandon come and train with him but that was not on a regular basis.

He turned to where the door was and saw Melaina, his girlfriend of fifty years now. At first, Zander was hesitant to start dating and be in a committed relationship. He still had trust issues from his past relationship but he grew out of it when Melaina persisted that she was no way like the daughter of Athena.

"Melaina," Zander greeted with a small smile. He walked up to her and she met him half-way with a hug.

"What have you been up to?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed his arms on her waist.

"I'm going on a mission to Jupiter right now actually. My Masters want me to finish a quarrel between two siblings."

"My timing was good then. I wish you luck, babe."

Melaina leaned in and kissed him. There was a slight spark but that was it. He wasn't sure if he was in the right relationship though. He always thought about it when he started dating the daughter of Apollo.

She played with the strands at the back of his head and pulled away. She loved doing that to his hair because they weren't that long and weren't that short.

"Good luck." She pecked him on the lips and left him alone.

Once he arrived in Jupiter, he didn't expect it to be peaceful. He thought that they were quarreling which meant that there was war. It was a beautiful city and its set up was like Atlantis.

Just then a beautiful lady came out with guards and servants behind her.

"Welcome, Lord Zander," She said. She was wearing an elegant white gown with silver heels. She had dirty blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. She looked young with her french braid and flowers on her hair. "We've heard quite a lot about you."

"And I you, Princess Anduloria." He said as he grabbed her hand and gave it a kiss as he bent.

"Now what brings you here, Lord Zander?" She asked as she started walking. He followed beside her with his arms behind his back to show that he meant no harm. The guards and servants followed quietly behind them by three meters.

They finally stopped walking in a garden. There was a beautiful fountain with a sculpture of a woman. She had a crown on her head and an elegant gown just like Princess Anduloria. He motioned for her to sit so that they could have a chat.

"I have heard quite a lot about what you have been doing, princess."

When he said that, her eyes widened slightly. She quickly dismissed her guards and servants who hesitated a bit before quickly obeying her order.

"What have you heard?" Her voice was calm but she had a certain edge in her voice like she knew that he knew she was hiding something.

He sat down beside her on the bench and lend back. He turned and looked at the water in the fountain behind them. It was beautiful and it brought him into thinking how earth looked like right now. He missed the sea and water there. Nothing here was like it there.

"I heard that you and your brother had been making an elixir to keep you both immortal."

She smiled. "Oh yes. It's a beautiful product of ours and you may join us as well."

He chuckled as he played with the water in the fountain. It gave him more energy from the battle last week which he was still drained. He then stopped playing with the water and looked at Princess Anduloria seriously in the eyes.

"I would but then I found out how you've been making them." He saw a slight movement in her arms but then it stilled afterwards. His senses were more active right at this moment as he could sense danger. He was just glad that she dismissed her own guards and servants. They could be the only ones to help her in her time of need at this moment. Albeit, he knew that they wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Just then she brought out a dagger to strike him but she was too slow for him. Zander seized her hand which was holding the dagger and threw the deadly weapon away. As he did that, he brought out a hidden dagger which was hidden in his sleeves and stabbed her in the stomach with it. She gasped.

The dagger he had hidden in his sleeves was poisonous. Its metal was made to be able to kill anyone like the gods and titans. His weapons that was given and blessed by Lady Nyx and Lord Erebus were all like that. If he was able to kill the gods and titans, he would be able to kill demigods, monsters and aliens as well.

"What have you done?" She choked as she held onto the wound that he made in her stomach. Her blood was dripping and flowing down her white gown.

"The dagger was poisoned with a rare plant. It was placed into the weapon by my masters for a faster outcome to my enemies." He said as he sheathed it back to its hiding place. "You would die in less than a minute."

"Goodbye, princess."

And that was all it took for him to leave the dying lady before him. It wasn't until two minutes later when he heard shrills and screams coming from the direction he came from.

"Murderer!" was heard from the garden.

They did not capture him because he was back in his ship to go on his way to the brother of Princess Anduloria. As he was on the air and flying the ship, he pressed and button and disabled all the communication devices in Planet Jupiter. Therefore, they would not be able to communicate with one another on what was happening in the planet at this moment.

He arrived at the palace of Prince Zen. He was the brother of Princess Anduloria and he had no clue on what happened with his sister. He didn't find out where they both kept the elixir but before he would kill the prince, he would find out where he kept it. Trick him into planning on joining forces.

His ship landed safely in the dock and when he got off his ship, he was greeted by people.

"Greetings!" A man wearing a dashing black suit said. The man had slicked his hair back and looked like a boy barbie doll. He was wearing black boots that would match his suit. "Welcome to my palace!"

"Greetings to you as well, Prince Zen." Zander said as he bowed his head slightly.

"Oh and a proper young fellow," the prince smiled. "How is Lady Nyx and Lord Erebus? I haven't heard from them in a long time."

They both walked into the palace with the servants of the prince following closely behind. The palace wasn't like Princess Anduloria's. In fact, it was more like Hades' palace in the Underworld. Dark and gloomy with fancy furniture.

"My masters brought me here to talk to you about your elixir." He said as he sat on the couch in this living room. The prince brought out food from the table and asked if he wanted to try it. He politely declined.

"And what have you heard from them?" He put the bowl back down but not before getting a piece of strawberry from it. He bit into it and smiled. "Do you want to join us? It would make you immortal and young forever."

Zander smiled. "I would like to know where you keep them."

"Why?"

"I would like to see this collection of yours and how spectacular it looks."

That brought the attention of the prince and he was then led to the room at the end of the hall. It was locked with a machine that had a code. 14700 was the code he noticed as the prince typed into the key pad.

When he entered he saw beautiful blue bottles that sparkled. They looked like glitter floating in the water.

"Here it is! Our collection! My sister comes here to claim hers but never drinks it in her palace." The prince proudly stated. When he turned, he gasped.

Zander had his hidden dagger buried in his stomach. Again, it was poisoned by a rare plant.

"You traitor!" The prince screamed as he knelt on the ground and laid down. "You won't get away with this!"

He got a bomb from his belt and stuck it on the wall next to him. He pressed the start button and it counted down from thirty seconds. Once the bomb was activated, it couldn't be stopped by anyone but him.

"I already have,"

When he left the palace, he heard an explosion and looked back to see the palace in flames and pieces. That was all that was left of the second palace in the Planet Jupiter.

A/N: I do not claim that idea. I got an inspiration from Jupiter Ascending so please do not get angry with me. I'm sure a lot books have an elixir like this as well.
