A New Order of Chaos

Hard Truth

When the mysterious guests demanded a meeting with everyone in the cities and camps, Michael Kahale wasn't sure what to expect.

As Centurion of his Cohort, he took the personal job of gathering everyone. He even checked the assistance list, to verified the presence of everyone.

Paranoid much? The Roman army didn't accept mistakes. Neither did he. As a son of Venus, he had been looked down and felt under appreciated it many times. He worked to be the best.

"We're all here" Reyna announced, stepping next to Nico di Angelo and Will Solace. Nico and Reyna became really close friends and, for association, so did Will. In some deep corner of him, Michael was jealous. He tried several times to gain Reyna's personal trust, with no avail.

"Does someone knows why the gathering?" Will asked, looking around. The Roman soldiers were curious about why everyone from the Cohorts and the cities were gathered, as well as all the greeks, who were mumbling to each other. What a disrespect from them to their leaders...

"I believe we are to blame here" an echoed voice stepped forward, showing the hooded guests. All of them were standing next to each other, nothing to distinguish them other than their hight and shape. Michael immediately raised his hand "Yes?" They quickly took noticed of him.

"Not to sound offensive... But, could it be an easier way to distinguish you?" he wondered to them. Silence filled the gathering area.

"That's a reasonable petition, Centurion" the voice, this time, was female. One of them raised its hands and, out of thin air, the greek letters of the alphabet materialized on their front capes.

"Now, to the matter in hands" the one wearing the Omega symbol grasped his hands together "We've heard some complains from the campers about us..."

"Complains that aren't without reason" the person to Omega's right, Alpha, continued.

"We thought that telling you what you needed to know would be enough... We were wrong" the second girl to Omega's left, Gamma, recognized.

"Which is why we're gather now" Omega's left hand, Beta, spoke up "We're about to reveal what we only told your leaders for your own protection!"

"As you know, we're the Army of Chaos" Omega took the lead again "Is safe to say that we don't fight normal enemies-"

"So, there's someone we're going against it?" Michael's fellow Centurion and girlfriend, Leila interrupted. Michael feared that Leila's interruption would cause her own death, but the Army of Chaos didn't look faze.

"Not just someone, but someones" Iota answered her "Some entities that you hear their names and fear. You hear their names and you flee. You hear their names and you think of the greatest demigods you had ever knew"

Thud!!

The loud noise of someone hitting the ground shocked everyone, making them turn their heads to where the leaders, Centurions and Cabin Councilors were. But it was none of them. It was the greeks' Oracle. Michael saw Will immediately kneeling next to her, as well as someone else.

"Just a fainted, that's all" Will finally announced, making everyone sigh in relief. The greeks were very jealously protective of their Oracle, even when it didn't speak prophecies anymore, which is why everyone left their battle stands soon "Which makes me believe she understood what you said" he pointed at the Guards of Chaos, who was simply standing there.

"Smart girl, she is..." Michael couldn't see the face of Alpha, but if he had to bet, she'd be smirking "She figured it out"

"Stop with the mystery and tell us what you should had told us from the beginning!!" Roman demanded from them. This time, Michael didn't care if the words from Roman's mouth caused his death. No body likes him very much.

"This war isn't against the gods. It's against Ouranous" The statement was received with gasps and murmurs around "And, I wish that was it... Ouranos had made an alliance with Nyx and Tartarus" Chaos and paranoid were set in the hearts of the campers, who were showing each other faces of true horror and fear.

"This is a useless battle then!!" Someone from the greek side screamed "We won't be able to stop them!!"

"You weren't saying the same when you fought Gaea" Delta stepped upfront "You came together, even when you were in the brick of battle between yourselves" Half the guard chuckled at this information, which wasn't very amusing fro Michael "Joke aside... What I meant is that what's the main goal that has you working together?"

"The gods accused some of our own of traitors" another greek stood up. Half the Guards nod as well.

"This war isn't against the gods, but against someone who wants to wipe out existence from Earth as we know it!" Everyone shut up, looking around "So, I suggest you look around to see the faces of the people who will fighting with you, because those faces, Roman or Greek, will help you reach victory!" Kappa gave a speech, making everyone nod at the end. Michael felt how his energy and his spirit lifted. Campers started to agree and nod, some raising their weapons, other their fist up into the air, screaming and agreeing.

"As we said before..." Omega started again, making the crowd to calm down "As we said before, you didn't trust us and with reason, because we held information from you. It was for your own protection..."

"Were not calling you cowards" Alpha was quick and continued "But, we are aware that the risk we're asking you is big. This is a war you may not see the end" she concluded, being brutally and mortally honest. Michael hear some screech and saw the Head of Cabin 5, Clarisse LaRue get up.

"This is why we train for" she stated, gaining nods from the crowd "We will not run, but we're not doing this to help the gods"

"We're not here for the gods either. It was an order from our Master. Our real reason are you, the campers"

"Why?" Nico raised an eyebrow, stepping next to Clarisse. Micahel saw the Guards look at each other before answering. And, they all answered together.

"Because we once were like you"

I apologize for the lateness, but I've been without electricity since Sunday night.

Also, something I always forget to say that Cassandra, the Hunter, is an OC from Isabelle, Hunter of Artemis (user)
