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

Chapter 3

200 years later

Zale's POV

I crouched down on the branch I was sitting on and observed the man sitting on the throne inside the castle. I silently pulled out my bow and pulled the string back, an arrow appeared, ready to be fired. I aimed at the man through the window and silently released the arrow. It flew through the air and shattered the window and flew right into the man's chest, piercing into his heart. I smiled as I watched the king fall back into his throne, his body limb. Dead. I turned around and jumped down from the tree and summoned a portal in front of me and jumped through it, landing on the planet Callisto. My feet settled into the ground and I started to walk so as not to get stuck. This was the only bad thing about the planet. You always had to keep moving or you'd get stuck in the ground.

But apart from that, Callisto was a really great planet. It was shiny when you looked at it from afar, but that was mainly because of all the villages. These people on here loved light, they had torches and every form of light everywhere. They had trees just like on Earth and had water. Basically it was a lot like Earth, but there was just more light, and more people. And Chaos lived here. He moved from planet to planet, seriously his whole palace moved with him, sometimes he was living on Jupiter, then on Tethys or on Ganymede. He lived on every planet and his palace moved with him every month. Sometimes he only lived on a planet for a week before moving to the next.

Wait. You don't know who I am. I haven't told you haven't I? Sorry for that. I'm Zale, the greatest assassin in the Universe, well in all galaxies. My name spreads fear amongst everyone. You already know of my past. I was Percy Jackson, yes, the Percy Jackson from Earth. 200 years ago I was happily living my life at camp with my friends, but then I walked into a tent and got kidnapped by a chimpanzee called Gabriel. Yes, Gabriel. Not like Gabe Ugliano, at first I had thought the chimpanzee was my old stepfather because his name was Gabriel and he called himself Gabe, but later on I found out it was just a random dwarf-chimpanzee thing Chaos had hired. But yeah, I'm Percy Jackson, now known as Zale, the greatest and most feared assassin in the galaxies. Back to the present!

I walked out of the wood I had teleported to, and walked down the streets of Cranus. Cranus was currently the town on planet Callisto that Chaos lived in. His big palace or castle or whatever you want to call it, stood flashy on one of the hills, and enthroned the small city. I walked to the gate and stopped in front of one of the guards.

"Who wishes to enter Chaos' castle?" The guard asked and looked forward.

"Gary, Gary, Gary. You don't recognize me?" I asked, quite disappointed. He looked down and widened his eyes.

"I am sorry Mr. Zale." He quickly apologized and stepped aside, I quickly nodded and walked through the big doors. I headed to the throne room where I knew Chaos would be. I didn't bother to knock on the door so I quietly opened it, and stepped inside.

"...train the others?" A male voice asked, I quickly dived into a random shadow, and hid behind a pillar, my clothes and hood blended in with the shadows, hiding me perfectly for the naked eye.

"Yes, make sure to even include Group 5, you know how they are." Chaos said to the hooded person.

"What about the assassin?" Another hooded person spoke up. A female.

"I will take care of him. You just have to focus on training, there's a war coming up." Chaos said. A war coming up?

"Lord Chaos, you've been saying that to us for two hundred years now. When is the war happening?" The first guy asked, sounding tired.

"Soon." Was his only response. "Now go train the Groups." He said and waved them away. The two hooded figures turned around and walked towards me. My heart started to beat faster as they approached, but they didn't see me and just walked out of the room, closing the door after them. After waiting two minutes to check if they came back, Chaos spoke. "Zale, come out from the shadows please." I looked up and stepped out from the shadows.
