Son of Chaos || Percy Jackson

Old Memories never die

...Later that Day...
Percy/Omega POV

I leaned forward and looked at Amber's holographic map, watching the moving shapes glide across the surface as Luke wrote down some coordinates in his notebook; sporting an expression as serious as mine. We aren't the best in planning, but with Amber out of commission under Lee's orders, we did not dare wake her up. But ever since the last attack by End, we could not let that happen again - having attacks on the camp should be avoided as much as possible because there are younger kids here, who have so much more to look forward to in life; they shouldn't have a colossal old asshole try and take away their life right before their very eyes. 

So after the attack, I've gathered the Gods and immortal campers, along with my army, to talk about plans. We can't be defenseless and pretend that the attack was a one time thing and not have our asses protected - if that happens, the damage would all be my fault, and I can't have that on my mind every night I close my eyes. However, the longer I stared at the digital ball in front of me, the more I can feel the start of a pounding headache forming in the back of my mind; making me close my eyes in annoyance as my finger rubbed against the skin between my eyes.

"God, I feel like absolute shit."

Both of our heads sprung up in shock at the sound of a familiar voice, looking over at the doorway where Amber leaned against with a weak but amused smile on her face at the sight of us mulling over war maps. I wasn't expecting Amber to be up and moving this soon, and although it is a relieving sight to me, I am also worried that she may be pushing herself for the sake of others. "What are you doing out here, Amber? You should be on bed rest." 

She rolled her eyes dismissively at my grumble as she blew hair away from her eyes, walking into the room while sending both of us a mischievous smile. "Well, I got worried when Beckendorf told me that you two were teaming up to take over my place. Plus, between us two siblings, I am clearly the strategist and you are the impulsive one." She joked as Luke looked up with a soft shrug of his shoulders, making me give him a look as he agreed with her. "Well, she does have a point."

The hard kick I sent him underneath the table and the whimper that came from him was definitely well deserved in my eyes.

"Hey, don't hurt him. He's speaking the truth." Amber said and patted my chest softly, walking towards the table and leaning into me; her hand still caressing the wound on her shoulder gingerly. "So, what's the plan so far?" She asked as Luke shrugged ever so slightly, facing the map again; the light shining over the scar on his face giving him those badass movie vibes, the ones that the heroes get whenever they are planning to do the ultimate impulsive decision. "End has the central of the US and we've got the East and West. The only problem? He is stronger in numbers and his forces are definitely stronger because they are all basically monsters. Another point - he has rallied all of his troops into the main base, so I'm assuming he wants us to come to him."

Amber nodded her head slowly in thought while I hummed a little. "I suggest just attacking him when he least expects it, or we can pull a Kronos war and I charge into the base." I suggested right before I gasps out of breath when Amber used her good arm to elbow me in the ribs, making me whine with a pout as I rubbed against the spot with a pout; ignoring the amused look on Luke's face. "That is what he wants us to do, dumbass."

"Wait, what about Artemis' huntresses?" Luke suddenly said as we both looked over at him curiously. "What about them?" Amber asked as Luke shrugs his shoulders a little, putting his pen down with a thoughtful look. "Well, because they are here, why don't we send a small number of them with one of us to go and check out the border? So then, we don't have to abandon the campers to take care of the angry Spartans and we can even go and check the base ourselves." He suggested while both of us stared at him in awe. "Luke...you are a genius."
