Letters and Departures

Percy's POV

The light blinded me. After knowing only darkness for an undeterminated time it was completely normal,but that didn't make me feel any better. Then I heard a voice.

"Percy. Percy. Percyyy!" I had no idea who it was since I never heard that voice before. I groaned and tried to open my eyes again.

I was sitting on a white marble floor in a ... Well it wasn't exactly a room. There was no ceiling and where the walls should have been was nothing, just endless white space. The floor kept going in every direcționat without seeming to end and above me a blob of white light was floating.

Someone touched my shoulder. I turned around so fast I almost had a whiplash. There stood a stunning womam. Her hair was Grey,almost black,her eyes were black, completely black,no irises no whites. She seemed tall and the dressing she wore accentuated her body shape, it was long, with long sleeves,like lace and the galaxies swirled on it. It hugged her waist and the base was flouncy.

"Who are you?" I asked, she didn't seem dangerous. Well she sure could kick ass, but it didn't feel like she wanted to hurt me.

"I'm Chaos." She smiled at me. I tried to remember who was Chaos. Some entity of the universe. Powerful, very powerful. And old. I thought I should say somthing nice.

"Well the, Miss, you're beautiful. Really you're like... stargazing. I love stargazing." I accidentally remembered myself of Zoe. And that made me sad, really sad.

The Lady giggled. "Thank you. Do You say this to everyone?"

"No, just to my mom and sister." I frowned. " Where are my friends?"

She hesitated, like she was deciding what to say. "They're in Hades' palace in the Underworld. They are unconscious, but they will wake up before we finish this discussion."

She didn't seem to lie, so I didn't question, but I was confused. Why Hades?

"They are safe there. Anyway, what I wanted ia to tall about is your decision concerning something I want to propose you. Your choice will decide both your future and your friends' future."

'Way to put pressure on guy, Lady...' I thought.

"I know what you went through and I want to offer you a chance to a better life. You're powerful, very powerful. And you have a lot of potential. I want you and your friends to work for me. "

Suspicious, what could we do for her? On the other side though a better life sounds good...

"I-I ... What is that we have to do white working for you?"

"You kill. Don't make that face. The same thing you have been doing the last few years, killing monsters, demons, bad guys... All over the universe." Said Lady Chaos.

"The universe?" I was shocked, the universe was large, very large, even I know that.

"Yes, do you remember the legend about the first beings?"She asked.

"> Ohhhh..." So this Lady was like... Very old. And obviously She ruled the Universe.

"Yes. Now, what do you say about my proposition?"

I had to kill... I didn't like killing, but it was bad guys...

"Just one more question. Can yu show me what do I have to kill, If I enter your service?" Her face darkened a bit.

"I can, but you will not like it." She opened her arms and in front of us appeared a smiled screen. " This happened a few minutes ago, I couldn't help and it hurts me. All my soldiers were dealing with matters as grave as this one. I apologise for what you are going to see."

The mist formed an image. An old fat man, with a beard and no hair was standing above a young women, She couldn't have been more than twenty. They were in a bed and the girl was naked She was screaming and crying. She was pleading to please, stop! No please, no more! Don't please! Please!

The man didn't stop he forced the girl to spread her legs and took her.

I turned to the left and dry heaved, I was disgusted to the core. I stood up slowly and took the Lady's hand.

"We'll work for you."

She smiled sadly and put a hand on my shoulder. I felt a tugging sensation in my stomach and then we were spinning way too fast for me. We suddenly stopped and landed on a marble floor.

"You finally decided to grace us with your presence." Said a dark male(?) voice.

Chaos made a face. I turned away from Her to look around. There was a tall guy that looked exactly like Lady Chaos. My grinda were lying around him in that ground, sleeping.

"Hmph! Anyway. Perseus, this is my brother Order, he behaves like a 1700 girl and is a sarcastic little shit. "

Order glared at her.

On the ground, Leo stirred. I ran to him and held him in my lap. He stretched and yawned. He looked at me and smiled.

"Percy! How are you? Where are we? Why are you so pale? Where you crying?"

"No... But I'm sorry..."

"For what? You don't have a reason." He asked curiously.

"I ... I... I think it would be better if Lady Chaos explained it to all of you when the others wake up." I knew he wanted to protest,but he just glanced at the bickering siblings.

"So... I get that the chick right there is Lady Chaos and the guy is...?"

"Order, her brother." I answered nonchalantly. Order seemed okay.

In the next few minutes, the others woke up too and introductions were made.

"So what's this hussle about? What's got Percy's panties in a twist?" Asked Rachel.

"I agreed to something... on your behalf. And I'm not sure you are okay with it."

"Puh-lease... You're Percy. There's no way you'd hurt in any way any of us. So enlighten us Lady! What do we have to do?"

"Basically, you're assassins from now on."
