Planet Tiphos

Previously...

"I know what you are thinking child and yes, it was I who spoke to you and saved you from perdition, but I didn't save you out of the kindness of my heart. I need a commander who will tear down anything that stands in my path, and in return I shall give you immortality to let you have your revenge on all those who betrayed you. All you have to do, is kneel before me and pledge your allegiance to me for eternity." He spoke to Percy. Percy thought it over for a few minutes, considering the offer, and finally made a decision.

Percy kneeled down in front of the being, "I am yours to command, and I hereby pledge my eternal life to you Lord..." Percy started to panic as he didn't know this ancient god's name, but was relieved when the god laughed and spoke casually. "Please just call me Havoc".

Now...

Percy's POV

I ducked just in time as a sword slashed wildly over me, and rolled to the right to avoid a spear aimed at my midsection. Quickly regaining my composure I began to make my move; dodging a slash aimed for my head I quickly followed with a right hook to the jaw of my opponent, making him stagger back before charging while he were trying to recover and tackling him, sending the both of us tumbling through the sparring arena. When we stopped I quickly got up and sent a hard left into his face knocking him unconscious only to find a spear from my second opponent pointed at my throat, "Do you yield Percy?" I smirked and focused on the water in my opponent's body and started to boil it.

"Of course not". Dropping the spear she fell to a knee as she struggled to stand up. I grabbed the spear and placed it under her chin lifting her head up so I could see her eyes, "Do you yield Avalon?" Avalon nodded slowly while sending a glare, but couldn't hold it as she started laughing.

"100 years of sparring with you and Stephan and I still cannot beat you. Maybe next time you could use a weapon? At least to make it look like we are making you sweat a little?" As we laughed at her response we stopped and listened as we heard a groan coming from the man who was previously unconscious.

"Damn it Percy." I walked over to him and extended my hand to help him up.

"Oh come on Stephan. At least I am going to have to clean my gear this time; I seem to have gotten a little dirt on it." Smirking he grabbed my hand and I pulled him up.

"Percy, how long have we known each other?" I looked at him curiously.

"Well if you are discussing the amount of time I have been awake about 100 years, but if you count the time I was here as a whole Havoc told me it has been around 500 years."

Stephan nodded. "Precisely which means it has been approximately 500 some odd years since you have been out with a girl so you know what that means right?" I looked at him grinning before Avalon came up behind us and smacked Stephan on the back of his head,

"Oh stop it Stephan, Percy needs to be focused on his training not girls." Stephan leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "Why did she have to be put in the same group as us? She is a major buzzki-". Stephan stopped abruptly eyes widening as he noticed a spear positioned right in front of his manhood.

"Go ahead and say it Stephan". Stephan laughed nervously making us all laugh as we made our way to our rooms in the barracks.

Let me tell you a little bit about Stephan and Avalon. Stephan is about 6'4, a good 4 inches taller than me, lean but he still has muscle making him agile and strong with dirty blonde hair and piercing green eyes. He looks around 23-24 years old, but he is actually 724 years old. Here in Havoc's army we are all granted immortality. I however only have partial immortality for right now because I am still on my probation as I just joined Havoc 100 years ago. While being excellent with nearly every weapon he prefers the use of swords, and believe me when shit hits the fan he is the one you want to have on your side, but also has a cheerful and slightly sarcastic side. He comes from Planet Vesperon where it is dominated by water and a majority of the time it is warm and sunny, unlike the people who lived there at the time. You see Stephan was a prince in line to be king before his subjects organized a Coup d'état, killing Stephan's family and nearly him before Havoc found him first and promised revenge against those who took everything from him.
Hey guys back again for chapter 4. I want to give a shout out for my Beta Zero Dark Thirty for helping with this chapter. So without further ado here is chapter 4
