A Deathly Sign

Chapter 2

"Dark Angel. It is time for you to be known," Hades said. Percy said nothing, but he dipped his head.

"Percy, be careful," Persephone said. She had grown to like the boy, she prefers to call him by his real name.

"You are going to be there too," Hades told his wife.

"Still," Persephone said.

Then, Hades flashed him and Percy to Olympus, while Persephone flashed there by herself. Hades sent a sign, signalling a meeting.

They waited for a while, then, all the Olympians flashed in.

"Brother, what is the reason for the meeting?" Zeus asked. He eyed the twelve year old boy standing in front of Hades warily.

"I have an announcement," Hades stated.

"Continue," Zeus said.

"I have appointed a person as the protector of the family of Hades. I would like to introduce him. Dark Angel," Hades said. Percy was wearing a hoodie covering his hair, a mask covering his face. Black combat boots, and black jeans. His weapons hung neatly at his belt.

"A twelve year old?" Zeus asked.

"Don't underestimate him," Hades said.

"Take off you mask, boy," Zeus demanded. Percy simply shook his head.

"Does he not talk?" Zeus asked.

"No, he doesn't," Hades answered.

"Is he a mortal?" Hera asked.

"No," Hades answered.

"How good is he?" Artemis asked.

"Be my guest," Hades said, gesturing his hand towards the boy.

Percy looked at Hades, and Hades nodded. Signalling that he can fight back. Artemis shot a few arrows at him. He stuck out his hand and caught them all before they hit him. Artemis looked shock, so does the other Olympians. Artemis then started shooting at him in different places. All to be caught by with one swipe.

Apollo then joined. They both shot at godly speed and at different place. Dark Angel took his sword, with inhuman speed, he sliced them clean in half. Everyone was shocked. Dark Angel then took out his own bow. It was magnificent, but also gives off a deadly aura. He shot two arrows as they whizzed in the speed of lightning. Two arrows was all it take to take out both bows of the twins.

Artemis nodded in approval, "He is strong."

"I agree," Apollo said.

"I wish you all treat him with respect. Even though he is young, you must treat him like how you would to your sons and daughters," Hades said. Dark Angel had returned back to the feet of Hades' throne. He stood straight.

"Of course. Thank you for introducing him," a tired voice said. Dark Angel tensed as he looked at the sea god. He aged greatly. He had bags under his eyes.

"Alright, meeting dismissed," Zeus said.

All of them flashed back to their domains or palace.

"Dark Angel, I will bless you with shadow-travelling. I believed it would be needed when you protect us," Hades said. Percy bowed deeply and Hades sighed, "When will I get you to talk more?" Percy simply shook his head.

"You can take off your mask in the underworld," Hades said. Percy took off his mask and put down his hoodie.

"You are cute for a twelve year old," Hades mused. Percy just showed a smile.

"Alright, you are off for the day," Hades said. Percy then headed to his room.

He had personally asked Persephone to give him some drums, he had enjoyed music as a young kid. No one knows, but he does practise singing.
