Percy's P.O.V
I was eventually led out of that white room and introduced to the palace. Yeah, you heard right. Palace.
Basically, the entire army is based on this planet, named Utopia. Utopia was the first planet that Chaos created, which is why it is aptly named "the original planet". The army isn't that large, with only consisting of around 2,000 members. But they are the best of the best, so you don't really need that is spread all over the planet (which is just a bit smaller than Earth), and use portals to jump from place to place. There are also civilians on Utopia to give a little normalcy to the troops.
Chaos lives in a huge palace in the centre of the capital city, called Chaos (original, I know). The palace has got to be one of the most beautiful structures I've ever seen. The entire palace is black, and has a few diamonds dotted all over the walls. The front gates were made of Chaotic silver, the strongest metal, and most beautiful, in the known Universes.
Anyway, as I was saying, Chaos and Adriane were leading me around the palace, with Adriane speaking at about a hundred miles an hour about every little thing. I was amazed at her memory, it exceeded even that of Annabeth's. My heart clenched as I remembered my last memory of her, kissing Brutus. I forced out of my mind as I turned to Chaos who was chuckling at Adriane, who hadn't realised that I wasn't paying attention to her tour.
"Sir, excuse my asking, but where are we going"
"Percy, there's no need to call me sir, or be so formal. Just call me Chaos. In answer to your question, we are going to the main hall, where you will take an oath, and receive you powers and wings" He explained.
"Wings? I get wings? Why?" I asked, excited at the prospect of it. He smiled at my display of excitement.
"Well, the highest group in my army, called the Chaotic Angels, all receive white wings to aid them in their battles." He explained "Also, because it just looks cool!" He added, and I smiled. Chaos is definitely not what I expected.
"Because you are the leader of the Angels and the Army, you will be named Archangel. It will protect your identity, and make you sound awesome!" he said gleefully. I thought about this for a while, and decided it was a cool name to have. At least it wasn't Bob.
"What powers will I get?" I mused.
"With you being the commander of my Army, you will get the same powers as me." My eyes widened at this.
"I will be more powerful of course, but only slightly. Which pretty much include Creation, the four elements, all the powers of the gods, telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation-you know what, a bunch of stuff. Pretty much anything you could think of." He stated casually.
Oh my gods....
"But, why do you trust me?" I asked, unable to believe that he had so much faith in me to give me so much power.
This time, it was his turn to look shocked. "
Why shouldn't I. I have watched you all your life, and you have never once broken a promise, never one betrayed someone's trust, never once done something wrong unless it was for a person's benefit. Even when every single person you trusted betrayed you, you still refused to do the same to them." I swallowed the lump in my throat at the mention of my friends. He smiled sympathetically.
"In fact, you blame yourself for it, which is completely unjustified." He said, and tears gathered in my eyes.
"I'm sorry Perseus. A close one's betrayal is always the most difficult" he said gently. "I should know..." he added quietly.
I was about to ask him what he meant when we arrived at the main hall. The entrance was a huge archway with massive carved wooden doors. They were beautifully detailed, and upon closer inspection there were thousands of names woven into the wood.
