Percy Jackson, Angel of Chaos

Chapter 6: Home sweet home

Annabeth P.O.V

Sighing, I walked across the camp, watching the younger campers chase each other, and engage in false battles. They were so happy. Like how Percy and I used to be, I thought with a pang. No, I told myself,don't think of that. Of him. How you got him killed. Those familiar tears welled in my eyes, as I desperately tried to push the memory down.

I was about to head to the class I was teaching, when screams erupted all around me. Grabbing my knife, I whirled around, looking for monsters. But people weren't looking at monsters, they were looking up. I did the same, and screamed.

There, in the sky, were eight flaming figures, diving down towards us.

This is the end

Luke's P.O.V

As soon as we stepped through the portal, we were falling down to earth. I opened my wings for a few moments, but Percy shook his head, and we all pulled in our wings and dove towards the camp. After a while, we began to catch fire, but Percy placed a shield around us that kept us from being cooked.

After a few seconds of falling, we eventually crashed into the strawberry fields, leaving a huge crater, and a mass of smoke.

We walked out of the crater, and faced the place we'd been dreading for the past five centuries. Planet Earth.

Annabeth's P.O.V

We all watched, paralysed, as eight hooded figures with wings walked out of the smoking hole. They were in a V formation. All but one had had white wings and white cloaks with various colours. The other, had beautiful obsidian black wings and a black cloak, with sea green on the inside. I could see the power radiating off him. His aura was strong and powerful, but immensely sad at the same time.

I couldn't see any of their faces, just their mouths. The one with black wings stepped forward and bowed.

"My name is Archangel, and I am the commander of Chaos's army, Leader of the Chaotic Angels, and Prince of the Universe" He said smoothly, and we all gasped. Prince of the Universe? That must be why he is so powerful.

The rest of the winged people stepped forward and introduced themselves.

"I am Delta, second in command" (Luke)

"I am Poison, third in command" (Zoe)

"I am Gem, fourth in command" (Bianca)

"I am Violet, fifth in command" (Adriane)

"I am Forge, sixth in command" (Beckendorf)

"I am Belle, seventh in command" (Silena)

"And I am Isle, Head Healer of Chaos' Army" (Calypso)

I, and many others, simply stood there with our mouths open, when suddenly a swirling portal appeared, and a huge, magnificent Unicorn burst through. She was beautiful. Her coat was a shiny black, and her horn was tall and glittering upon her head. She looked dangerous, deadly, untameable, yet Archangel just strode up to her and smiled, laying a hand on her neck. I was about to ask who she was when all of the other Unicorns and Pegasi that we kept here came galloping into the clearing. They immediately all bowed to the black Unicorn, as if she was royalty. Then I realised who she was. She was Skia the Shadow Horse, Queen of Creatures. My eyes darted back and forth between Archangel and Skia, my mind furiously piecing together the situation. Then it all came crashing down on me.

"You're the Shadow fire wielder, aren't you?" I asked, stepping forward. All the campers gasped and looked at him in awe. We all knew the legend of the Shadow Fire wielder, and his companion, the Queen of Beasts.
