Chapter 9

Previously...  

Avalon finally broke the silence," Havoc gave us each an envelope and a cloak that contains our new names and will help keep our identities secret. I swear if my name is something stupid so help me Havoc." After laughing for a few seconds we decided to go ahead and open our envelopes to our second lives.

The ship hovered silently over an area that was free from enemy eyes as it dropped off the three occupants before quietly flying back to planet Tiphos.

Percy looked to Avalon and Stephan and spoke," okay Paragon I believe that we should set up here for the night what do you think Cobra?" Avalon and Stephan nodded and spoke,

"Sounds good Maelstrom"

Now...

The void

3rd person POV

"Is everything prepared for our launch to Vesperon Alexander?" Hannibal asked from his station aboard the ship. Alexander leaned back in his seat and spoke,

"I believe so, but why don't we make it interesting. I just so happen to have a coin If It lands on heads I will go and double check everything if its tails I will do it." Hannibal nodded and alexander flipped the coin in the air, but before the coin could fall into his hand a knife flew past and pinned the coin against the wall on heads.

"Well it looks like you get to double check everything." Hannibal said with a smirk. Alexander narrowed his eyes then left the control room muttering something about stupid throwing knives.

Walking from the control room down the corridor of the ship Alexander was mentally checking everything off as he passed by them. Hmmmmm the ships maintenance report looks good, the weapons look to be in order along with the soldiers who continue to glance around nervously amongst themselves. I think that's everything.

"Sorry Alex I overslept and I rushed over here and I just didn't want to miss the battle." Oliver spoke. Alexander looked upon Oliver and let a faint frown come across his face.

"The battle isn't going anywhere Oliver, come let us get to the control room before Hannibal blows a gasket and leaves without us." Oliver smiled at this and they made their way to the control room.

While walking Oliver noticed the looks of nervousness among the soldiers as they passed their bunks. He vowed that he would protect his men to the best abilities.

Hannibal made the last adjustments as Alexander and Oliver walked through the door and into the control room.

"Ah just in time you two go ahead and get strapped in so we can take off." As they prepared for takeoff Alexander gave a quick glance to Oliver who looked like he was trying not to fall asleep in his seat.

"Oliver go ahead and rest I will wake you up when we arrive." Alexander said. Oliver simply nodded before getting comfortable and slowly drifted into a dream.

Oliver found himself in a beautiful throne room with empty thrones in front of him. Frowning he turned and saw a young looking teenager around seventeen years old with blonde hair and a noticeable scar that runs down the side of his face, gold eyes holding a scythe as if waiting for somebody. Before his mind could try figure out who this is he heard the throne room doors open. The gold eyed teenager smiled maliciously that almost made his blood run cold and spoke,
