When I woke up I had my sight back and headed to the training room. Today I had a list of fifteen names. After that the three years past pretty quickly with a few bumps along the way where Atropos decided I needed to not see again. Then Clotho decided I don't need to hear. And finally, Lachesis decided that I needed to have my powers taken away from me. They did this to me several times and lengthened the time it lasted each time. I went three months blind once. I didn't get any days off but I saw my family a few times and Nico at meals. Finally I was done with The Fates and headed to bed on my last day with them.
"Perseus, you do know you will see us again?" I nodded with my face in my pillow.
"I know. I'm just relieved that I can spend time with my family." I responded to Lachesis.
"Perseus, you do know your appearance has changed right?" I sat up and stared at them.
"Of course not. You guys decided to take every mirror in my room, remember?" I stared at them as Atropos chuckled nervously.
"Okay, so brief warning. We took your ability to change your eye color. You can still change everything else but that is all. However, we ask that you keep your hair as it is for now." I nodded and gestured for them to give me a mirror. I nearly dropped the mirror when I saw myself. I now had shaggy dark blue almost black hair with grey and red streaks and green eyes with red streaks and grey spots. I was also paler then I used to be and taller. I looked at them and smiled.
"I love it." They nodded and then flashed out. I went to sleep and woke up at two am and got ready to meet Nyx and the rest of my family for the first time in almost a year.(Yea, that long)I was just about to leave when Atropos spoke in my mind.
"Oh, and we will still be taking things from you. Like now, we are taking your sight." I groaned as everything went dark.
"Really? Now? Whatever." I stretched my senses and walked to my training room. I was supposed to meet Nyx and the rest at four in the shared training room. I spent an hour just training and flying before I headed back to my room and showered. I put on my regular clothes when I got a message.
"Hello Perseus. Do you feel like pranking your family?" I chuckled.
"I always am. So what's your plan Nyx?" I got a huff in return.
"Okay, so I need you to make your eyes as dark as you possibly can and I will flash you some clothes to wear. I want you to show up in the training room ten minutes late and with all of your weapons. When you enter drop the temp and the light. Make it scary. Use your aura of fear to mess with them. Then, you will walk forward slowly as if you're going to attack and then bow on one knee at my feet. I will tell them you are my most skilled assassin and that you will be training with us for a while until 'Percy' is done training with The Fates. I will call you Onyx. Sound good?" I thought before I answered.
"Sounds perfect. The best part is that I can take this on for as long as possible. Oh, you might want to tell Nico about it because he knows what I look like and will spoil it." I heard a sigh.
"Oh alright. I just wanted us to know. Ooo, what If you changed your hair too?" I sighed.
"I would have to ask The Fates. They asked that I keep my hair." She sighed and the connection went dead at the same time a cloak and black clothing appeared on my bed. I took the chance to change and arm myself. I thought about my swords and realized that they were pretty identifiable. I thought for a second then went searching for the sword my mom gave me. I finally found it hidden in my closet with a note from Chronos.
'Percy, I love Nyxs plan. This is a pack with your mothers gifts and a few things from The Fates, Nemesis, and myself. The sword that is not from your mother is from me. Basically, this is your sword for when you train with me. It will help you through them off. The daggers are from Nemesis and the bow is from The Fates. Good luck with your prank. -Chronos' Then suddenly the connection was back from Nyx.
