Recap:
Zeus didn't say anything as Omega's eyes rolled in the back of his head and he fell on the ground. "I will bring him to his room," broke Tunder the silence. He shakely picked his commander up and disappeared behind the doors.
After some time Zeus muttered, "That is not all. There was a prophecy."
He took a deep breath and said,

The prophecy is spoken,
One is already broken.
Alone no chance he stands,
His family to defend.

The former traitor a hero he safes,
Torture together they will have to face.
All hope is lost with missing trust,
Protect each other for dear life they must.

Two souls separated in endless pain,
Their love is stronger than the villains reign.
Together they shall stand and fight,
Thunder sister to decide.

Ghost POV:

A new prophecy. I sighed. With Percy's luck, it was about him again. The broken one. "The prophecy isn't complete." I looked at Chaos in shock. "What do you mean?"
"I mean," he said, "That the prophecy isn't complete."
"Oookay. That didn't help."
"What didn't help," asked someone. I looked around and spotted Omega and Thunder. They stood near the doors and made their way over to us. Omega didn't look good. He was pale, and his hands were trembling. "There was a prophecy and Lord Chaos said it wasn't complete," answered Healer. Chaos didn't even say anything about him being called Lord. He was too worried about Omega. "Are you okay?" His voice was gentle. Omega glanced at Thunder and nodded. "Sure. So what was that about a prophecy," he asked, changing the subject. I threw him the we-will-talk-later look, and turned to Chaos. Chaos took a deep breath and threw one last worried glance at Percy, then he repeated the prophecy. Percy looked confused. "Why should something be missing? It sounds like a normal prophecy." Since when are prophecies normal? The creator of the universe seemed nervous. "A few weeks ago, I got a prophecy from the fates. It was about someone very powerful. She went missing three year ago." He looked at Omega. "I gave you her sword." I gasped. "B-but I thought she died."
"That was what I told everybody. What do you know about Princess Universe?" This time it was Alpha who answered. "She was your second in command. She was the best archer in the hole army, no-one knew her real name." He smiled slightly at this, and I frowned. Did he knew something we didn't? Alpha continued. "She was loyal, couragous and funny. Her eyes could change colour. Sometimes they were like the galaxy, beautiful and dangerous, and sometimes they were a dark purple. She had an enchanted necklace, which turned into her bow and arrows. Her sword was named τριαντάφυλλο. That means 'Rose' in greek. Three years ago, she went on a mission, but never came back." His tone was sad, and I got the feeling that her disappearing hurt him more than others. Chaos looked pained. "That's right, but you don't know the whole truth. She went to Ídio. A planet in the Suf galaxy, but we underestimated the danger. Her mission was to destroy a camp of Fae. Fae are fairy-like creatures, but they are wicked. They sided with Tartarus, so did someone else. I didn't knew he was on Tartarus side. I would have never send her out alone if I did." A look of regret crossed his face. I asked, "Who is 'he'?" Chaos looked at me. "My older brother End. My father and I trapped him in the void after he tried to destroy the whole universe to rebuild it and make it his kingdom. He still isn't strong enough to break free, but the strength he had, he used to make chains out of fallen stars. The most powerful metal to ever exist. Even I would have had problems escaping them. He gave those chains to Tartarus, who managed to capture Universe. Untill now I didn't know where she was, and I couldn't risk sending my soldiers out, 'cause we were preparing for war, but I found her, and to win this war, you will need her help."
We let that sink in. "Why do I have her sword, when she's still alive?" I turned to Omega. His face was blank. "You remind me of her," said Chaos. "Loyal, and always helping the others. I gave you the sword, because it was her wish. She said that if she doesn't come back, I should give it to someone worthy of the position as my second in command." I needed a second to process what I just heard. He was making Percy second in command? "You are making me second in command?", he asked in disbelief. "B-but Universe is alive, so why?" Chaos chuckled. "She always wanted a co-commander, and you are the perfect choice. You wouldn't use your position to tyrannize the others, and you aren't addicted to power. You two would make a perfect team, oh, and you two have the same type of sarcasm," he said with a twinkle in his eyes. Omega looked like he wanted to protest, but I cut him off. "Just say 'yes' Kelp head." He sighed and nodded. "Fine, I will take the position." Chaos grinned. "Well then, hail Omega. My second in command." I smiled, but then a thought hit me. "Chaos, if you know where she is, why don't you just go yourself and rescue her?"
"I can't. Old laws tie me to this planet. I can't leave it. That's the reason I will send Alpha and Omega to get her." "What?!", Omega screamed, anger in his voice. "You know I don't trust him." Alpha looked hurt, but said nothing. He knew the reason. Chaos looked at him with pity and said, "It's in the prophecy:
