Do I Know You? - PJO fanfic - Chaos' Assassin story

Chapter 2

The room we walked into was definitely something. Along the walls there were different paintings of different heroes, throughout time. On one of the walls I saw twelve people I knew. They were all paintings and were moving ever so slightly. They were smiling at the camera as if it was a live photo. The first one was of me. Yes, I was hanging there on the wall, with my seagreen eyes and my sheepishly smile. Next to me was a painting of Annabeth. Her gray eyes held a sparkle and she looked determined into the camera, and looked like she just got an idea. Which she probably would have if she wasn't a painting. Next to her were a painting of Jason, after him came Piper, then Leo, Frank and Hazel. After Hazel was a painting of Nico and next to him.. I smiled slightly at the faces. Silena Beauregard, Charles Beckendorf, Zoë Nightshade and Luke Castellan. Gods, I missed them. They looked so.. alive hanging there on the walls, like they were actually in the room. I focused on following Chaos, and followed him over to the middle of the room. He turned around to face me.

"Okay, so you'll get immortality, and you get one wish. I can't make people appear or anything. I can give you the power you've always wanted, but I can't do something for others." He explained. I nodded in understanding. "Are you ready?" He asked.

"Yes, I am." I mentally prepared myself for getting immortality.

"This might hurt. It varies from person to person." He touched my forehead with his index finger, and a sharp pain shot through my head. I squeezed my mouth together, and killed a scream. As fast as the pain had appeared, just as fast it had disappeared. "Now. Your wish?" I looked up at him with a pearl of sweat trickling down my temple.

"Uh.." What did I want? I could get almost anything. But what did I want? Sure I could wish for anything, but what could come in handy? Wings? Control over the elements? No. What was I bad at? Well, there was the one with sacrificing myself for my friends if it meant the world's ending. Could I get rid of my fatal flaw? "Just a question.." I said.

"Yes?"

"Can you get rid of my fatal flaw?" I asked curiously.

"Well, yes, if that's your wish?" He smiled at me.

"No, it's not my wish, I was just asking." So I could get rid of my fatal flaw. But I was also really bad with a bow and arrow.. My eyes lit up as I knew what my wish was.

"I suppose that look on your face indicates that you've found your wish?" Chaos asked. I nodded.

"Yes, I wish to be able to use any weapon. Bows and arrows, every weapon to ever exist." I said.

"Very well." He raised his hand in front of my heart and waved it quickly, and a small light came out of his fingers and shot into my chest. "There you go. Every weapon is your speciality." He said and smiled down at me.

"Thank you." I smiled up at him.

"Now, I believe we have to find some proper clothes for you. We can't have an assassin run around in an orange shirt, saying where you're from." He gestured to my Camp Half-Blood t-shirt.

"Oh, yeah." He snapped his fingers and suddenly we were in another room. I looked around and saw.. absolutely nothing. We were in a room that looked like the throne room, but just a little bit smaller. And the funny thing was, there was only one stool in the middle of the room.

"Uhm, where are we?" I asked as I looked around the bare room.

"Step up on the stool and stretch your arm out to the side." Chaos instructed, and leaned backwards in a sitting position. A chair appeared behind him, and he sat down. I did as he told me to, and walked up on the stool and spread my arms out. Suddenly an old looking woman appeared in front of me.
