OMEGA

Chapter Six

Nico's POV

We were sitting at our tables eating breakfast when a person suddenly fell through the celling and landed on the ground on one knee in front of the front table.

As he rose, he faced Chiron. He stood tall with his hands folded behind his back and a backpack on the ground beside him.

"I believe you were informed of my arrival," he said in a monotone voice.

"The only arrival I was informed about was the possibility of Lord Chaos' army," Chiron said, looking shocked.

"You were informed correctly. I am Lord Chaos' army. I am Omega."

"Omega," Chiron whispered and fear flew through his eyes. "The Omega?"

"Yes. The Omega." Chiron went to bow but Omega lifted his hand to stop him. "There is no need to bow. I was told that there was a prophecy."

"There can be," Chiron said, nodding. "We can have the Oracle here by dinner."

"That would be wonderful," Omega said with a stiff nod and then he turned to face us, and I final got to see his face.

Well, I got to see part of his nose and mouth because the shadow of his hood and an eye mask covered the rest. Normally I could see through shadows, but I couldn't in this case, which made me curious and confused.

"I am Omega," he stated as he looked at all of us. "I am Lord Chaos' army. I am the ruler of eighty seven planets. I am going to warn you all of this once, and only once. You try to remove my hood, I will kill you. You annoy me, I will kill you. You get to pushy with me, I will kill you. And if you challenge me to a fight, you better be prepared to get your ass kicked. Now, if you excuse me, I'll be in my cabin. Please come and get me when the Oracle is present or if I'm needed." With that, he turned and walked off.

There was the sound of a 'pop' and there was suddenly a small cabin next to mine.

"Chiron," Annabeth said and looked at the centaur, "Who was that?"

"Immortal campers," he said and looked at the seven of us, "Meeting in the war room after lunch."

Jason, Annabeth, Hazel, Piper, Frank, Leo and I all sat around the ping-pong table looking at Chiron, waiting for him to explain. After a few minutes, he started to talk.

"Omega is the second most powerful being in the universe, after Chaos himself. If you are unaware who Chaos is, he's the creator of everything. He is the king of the universe. As for Omega, he is a god on thousands of planets, and is the ruler of eighty seven. No one knows how he came into existence, but there are rumors. Some say that he's from the Andromeda galaxy, and that he was their ruler until Chaos asked him to fight for him. Another is that he was the best warrior on the planet Glence, and Chaos granted him immortality once he died. Others say that he was once a human from Earth who lost his way, and Chaos found him. Whenever asked about his past, he always says the same thing. My-." Chiron was cut off.

"My past is of no importance. I came from nowhere and from a family of nothing. I did not exist until Lord Chaos decided that I should. That is a very well known saying of mine," Omega said from the doorway that he was leaned against. It shocked my that I wasn't able to sense him as he snuck up on us. "On some planets, they say it in their prayers, hoping that I will hear it. Hoping that I will save them from the wrong doings of others. Others say it in hopes to one day be like me. I am a god to some planets. Many worship me, but many more fear me. Some people say those three sentence in hope that they will never hear me say it myself."

"What have you done that's scared people so badly?" Annabeth asked and Omega turned his head towards her.

"I have killed whole planets, leaving behind the few who were innocent to rebuild, all because my Lord asked me to. I've saved many, but I've killed more. My name means the end, and that it what I bring. But what people do not ever seems to grasp about me is that I don't kill innocents, so not all who I met should fear me, yet they all do, because they always think I'm going to carve an omega into their skin for any little reason. But I would never. I can look at a person and tell if they're innocent or not, and everyone in this room seems to be. But I have a question, why are you seven immortal?"

That question seemed to shock us.

"How did you know?" Piper asked and Omega chuckled.

"I know an immortal when I see one. Now, how did that come to be?"

"About fifteen years ago, there was, what we call, the Monster War. The camp was loosing terribly, so the gods offered the main heroes of the last war immortality," Jason explained.

"Fifteen years ago?" Omega asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, why?"

"No reason," he said and shook his head. "It's just that I would've assumed that you would've been immortals for a longer time than that."

"You're the ruler of planets?" Piper asked and he nodded.

"Yes, eighty seven of them."

"Why eighty seven?" Jason asked.

"My Lord Chaos gives me a planet of his choice every one thousand Chaos years. They are each ruled fairly. And once again, I'll be in my cabin," he said and walked out.

"He's the ruler of eighty seven planets?" I asked, shocked and Chiron nodded.

"Yes, and the planets Omega rules are the most peaceful planets in the universe."

"How?"

"I have no idea."

(Let me know what you think so far!)
