Percy Jackson, The Lost Legend

The Wait

(Remember this is still in Annabeth's point of view)

I didn't die. If that is what you are wondering.
The Apollo camper found me and rushed me to the infirmary. They could not do anything about the wound, I had already lost too much blood.
At that point I was unconscious so I cannot tell you what happened personally. One of the other campers told me what happened after.
A dark aura formed around me and I started to heal.
While I was unconscious I had a dream. In my dream, I was teleported to a throne room somewhere.
A very powerful looking man was sitting on a throne staring at me.
"Annabeth Chase, you cannot die."
"I know. I have realized that I do not want to. But why can't I?"
"I made you immortal for a reason. It was not so that you could prematurely die."
"You were the one who made me immortal? Who are you?"
"I cannot tell you that. You will figure it out eventually. Farewell, child of Athena. Please do not let yourself lose a battle again."
Then the dream was over and I woke up.

-The Void, Year 2519 on Earth-

I know you probably want to hear that 5,000 Chaos years went by really fast, but the truth is that it just didn't.
It was not boring, I had plenty to do with me being Commander of the most powerful army in the Universe and all.
Today marks exactly five hundred earth years since Chaos promised to let me return.
I was asked to meet him in his throne room after I finish training the new recruits.
I just finished a sparring match with Obsidian and now I was fighting Beta, my second in command.
After knocking his sword out of his hand easily three times in a row, he finally called it quits and I went to shower before I met with Chaos.
All of the recruits, except for me, were people who had died in battle. Chaos brought back all of the greatest heroes to fight in his army. I hand picked a few of them.
Beta, my second, was formerly a Demigod who had died in the Trojan War sacrificing himself for a girl he loved.
I knew Obsidian personally in his previous life, his name was Beckendorf and he died sacrificing himself for me on the Princess Andromeda.
Milos, another soldier, was also someone I knew. His real name is Nico, he did a hero in the war against Gaea.
Beta, Obsidian, Milos, and I - Arsenio - made up Alpha Unit. We were the highest ranking Unit and the most powerful and respected.
Our Unit led all of the other units when in battle.
I was the Commander of not just my Unit, but every unit, Alpha to Omega. Yes we organized ourselves using the Greek alphabet.
Being Commander was not just a title. Chaos gave me some of his power. Being Commander meant being the second most powerful being in the universe, with Chaos being the first.
Chaos is a Primordial God, he knew making me commander was a very important thing. I asked him once why he chose me and he said it was because of my fatal flaw, and my heroics.
Whatever that means.
I finished my shower and went to the Throne Room. Lord Chaos was sitting there, waiting for me.
"Arsenio, I see you have finally arrived."
"Yes, Chaos."
I bowed.
"You may stand. I came to speak to you today about an issue on Earth."
My heart skipped a beat, he was finally going to send me back!
"There is a war beginning and I need my best Unit to stop it before too much damage is caused."
"Father," I said "what about Annabeth? You promised I could go back today for her, not to stop a war."
"Arsen - Percy," he said, using my real name, "I cannot just send you back to earth all willy nilly. I need a legitimate reason. The war is a good enough reason."
"Thank you."
I sighed and looked at me sadly.
"Arsenio, I know we made a deal, but I can't risk losing you. You are the best commanding officer I have ever had. Would you allow me to offer you a preposition?"
"Depends, what is this preosition?"
"The war will take a while to stop, I will allow you to stay there for as long as it takes. But you cannot reveal yourself to Annabeth or the Olympians."
"What?! But-"
"Hear me out please. If you can keep your identity a secret for the entirety of the war, I will let you stay on Earth with your fiancé forever. But if you reveal your identity I will make you come back to lead my army for another 500 years."
"That's not fair! You promised you would allow me to go back!"
"But I did not promise to allow you to stay. I am giving you a choice. You can take it, or you can just stay here. After all, I never swore on the River Styx or anything."
That pompous jerk! I should have known not to trust this guy! I was so foolish!
I took a deep breath and pondered it.
"Okay, I will make that deal. Do you swear it on the River Styx that you will allow me to go stay forever if I do not reveal my identity?"
"I swear it on the River Styx."
"My unit and I will leave in the morning."
"Good. Oh and Arsenio, here is an enchanted hoodie. When you wear it nobody will be able to see your face."
"Thank you."
I left the throne room, slamming the door on my way out.

I am sorry for any spelling or grammar issues, as always I do not re-read to check for them, I just try not to make any as I go. Of course, a lot of the time I still do. Autocorrect sucks. And yes, I am blaming autocorrect for all of my problems. Hera, I'm perfect.
No I am not really...
Agh just please comment! Or the Authors notes will get longer and the actual chapters will get shorter.
Yes that was a threat. :)
