A Deathly Sign

Chapter 1

Percy sighed as he thought back what had happened before he became someone like him now.

Flashback

Percy was walking to Athena's cabin, planning to take her on a walk to the beach.  He was humming a happy tune as he walked along the path.  He arrived at the foot of the cabin and heard some strange noises, but he dismissed it.

"Annabeth?" He knocked on the door before opening.  He saw two people, one with blonde princess curls, the other with blonde hair.  Annabeth and a son of Zeus.  James? Jacky?  Jack, that's his name.  They were making out, Percy looked at the scene before him and was grossed out.

"How could you?!" Percy cried, he's heart broken.  Annabeth looked at him, Jack looking smug.

"Oh, Percy.  How could you be so ignorant?  I never wanted you for love.  Just fame," Annabeth smirked evilly.  

"Yeah, she's my girlfriend now, so buzz off!" Jack said.

"I want to know, why?" Percy said.

"How could I miss such a chance of becoming such a recognisable person?"  Annabeth said.

"Why didn't you stay with me?" Percy asked, his first tear started to betray him.

"Jack is such a darling.  I already have the fame I wanted," Annabeth replied.

"Enough questions.  Since you found out, I guess, it will be the end of you, or maybe, this is just another excuse for us to get rid of you," Jack said as he pulled out a sword.

"Oh, so you want to kill me now?  Be my guest.  Nothing is holding me back anymore," Percy said, opening his arms.

Jack stabbed his sword at Percy's gut.  "Oh, we aren't killing you.  Yet.  Maybe my dear Annabeth would like a little fun.  Of course, me included," Jack said smugly.  Jack handing a dagger to her.

"Imbeciles.  Whatever.  This pain can't compare to any pain knowing you were fake," Percy gritted his teeth.

Annabeth stabbed her dagger at Percy's foot.  Then, Jack stabbed into each of his fingers, leaving dagger holes in them.  They tortured him for an hour, Percy never made a noise.  Not one.  His eyes were closed the whole time.

Finally, they were bored of him, so one stab in heart.  He opened his eyes, before closing them.  His face showed a relaxed smile.

Nico felt it.  Nico felt Percy's soul left.  He knew it was Percy's.  Nico ran to where he last saw Percy, just to see his broken body.  Nico cried, he cried.  Something he had never done since Bianca's death.

Everyone went to where Nico was.  Percy's friends had tears in their eyes.  Poseidon was never the same again.  The sea is muddy and green.  The only places clean were Percy's favourite beach and Atlantis.  Everyone mourned for Percy's death.  Jack and Annabeth had put up a really good show.  

Percy wasn't really sad.  He was disappointed.  It was a week after Percy's death, when he got a visitor in Elysium.

Hades.

"Percy," Hades said.

"Lord Hades," Percy bowed.

"I need a favour," Hades said.

"Name it," 

"New threats are rising, I would hope that you can come back and protect my family and help Olympus.  But mostly my family," Hades said.

"Why will you find me, instead of the other heroes?" Percy asked.

"You are the most loyal person I could name.  I agree, our first encounter isn't exactly the best.  I hope you can protect Nico mostly, he had been heartbroken with your death," Hades explained.

"Alright, I accept," Percy said.

"Thank you.  I will give you a gift.  You can change your age, also your hair will be different and you will be paler.  The only thing that will give you away is your eyes and if people know you better, your voice," Hades said.

"Thank you," Percy dipped his head.

"Also, I would like you to train with the old heroes on your archery skills.  You will have your own respective weapons.  You will have hunting knives, they will appear everytime one was taken away from your belt," Hades said.

Flashback end

It had been two years.  Percy finished his training.  Now, Percy doesn't talk much.  Only Hades and Persephone know his real identity.  He changed his name to Dark Angel.  Percy had taken the age of a 12-year-old.  Gives the power of doubt.  He is really powerful, his archery skills were better than ever.   He has his own bow and arrows which appears endlessly.

You look at his face, the only thing you will see is a face without any expressions.  Percy doesn't show his emotions, his face would be stoic.  He had practised this, so nobody could recognise him.
