ωμέγα (Omega)

Chapter ζ

Alpha POV:
Arrow stepped forward confidently. Her dark, almost black hair was braided and draped over her shoulder, her dark almond eyes eyeing the Olympians. She looked like a queen. A deadly, but beautiful queen. She smirked. "I'm going to reveal myself, but if one of you tries to kill me, I will send you to my father the hard way."
"Your father?", asked Zeus suspiciously. "Do you mean Hades?" She cackled and played with her hunting knife. I almost laughed at the scared face of Aphrodite and saw, that Artemis was trying to contain her laughter too. I almost forgot she knew our identities. "Yeah. Hades is my dad. The awesom god of awesomeness." She laughed and pulled down her hood. The gods gaped at her, while Hades broke in fits of laugher. "T-their faces. You scared them to death. H-hilarious. Bianca di Angelo, I teached you well." Bianca was rolling on the floor, trying to get air and laughing at the same time. Zeus looked furious. "Hades! Did you know your daughter was alive?" The god of the underworld rolled his eyes. "Of course. I'm the god of the dead." Before a real fight could start, Omega interuppred the two. "You two can kill and insult each other later, but know it's time for the next one to reveal herself." A figure in a pink and green hoody walked up to Bianca, who smiled at her and went back to us. "I'm making this short. In the army I'm known as Charm, sixth in command, but in real I'm Piper McLean." She pulled her hood down and was immediately pulled into a hug by Aphrodite, who cried her eyes out. Piper patted her back and whispered, "Hey mom. I heard what you said to Silena. Don't loose hope. I'm back, and I won't go 'till the war is over, which could take a while." Aphrodite nodded and smiled. "I love you Piper. Always remember that." The goddess seemed to get younger in a matter of seconds. If I think about it, all the gods looked different, Poseidon for example. He looked a hundred years old, eyes puffy and red. He gripped something in his hand. A pen? "What happened to Poseidon?", I whispered to Healer. "It's Percy. He just left, without saying goodbye. How would you feel as his father?" I looked at Omega. He was tense, his hands clenched to fists. I couldn't blame him. I was nervous too. Will tipped my shoulder. "It's Constellations time. I bet she is going to insult them." I chuckled silently. Con had the habit to insult everyone she met. She stood in her white hood, arms crossed, infront of the gods. "I think that all of you, Lady Artemis excluded, are idiotic and stupid and male, I mean seriously Zeus, you are a little brat. And Hades, you really don't lighten my day, and no Apollo, you neither. Hermes, stealing isn't nice and could get you arrested. Ares, you are a stubborn prick, but Omega said I had to show respect, so 'hi'. Nice seeing you again. My name is Constellation, but most call me Con, I'm fifth in command, and I was known as Zoë Nightshade." She pulled down her hood. Artemis winked at her, while the other Olympians were red-faced, because of the insults. She turned around and walked, with her head held high, back to us and stood next to Arrow.
The warriors laughed at the flabbergasted looks on the gods' faces. Zeus was the best. He had literally steam coming out of his ears. "So, before we start a war, I will reveal myself. I'm the fourth in command. I go by Ghost, but my real name is Nico di Angelo." Hades smiled at his son and hugged him. Nico hugged him back and after two awkward minutes, he joined his sister in the shadows, his black hood almost invisible. Zeus was angry, but kept his mouth shut. He had two children himself, so he couldn't say anything against the Di Angelo siblings. "Next," he thundered, a forced smile on his face. Thunder rolled his eyes and walked up to the immortal beings. "Name's Thunder, third in command, but I also go by Jason Grace." He took down his blue hood and smirked at the gods. Zeus nodded, but didn't say anything. I felt sorry for Thunder. To see all the other gods hugging their children has to be hard. Thunder looked at me, eyes signalizing me to come. I took a shaky breath and walked up to him. He reassuringly squeezed my shoulder and joined the other warriors. "Before I take my hood down, I want to say I'm sorry. I caused the dead of many, and... I regretted it. I will always regret it. I'm Alpha, second in command, host of Kronos, Luke Castellan." With trembling fingers I pulled down my hood. Before I could say anything else, I was hugged tightly from my father. "D-dad? You don't hate me?" He shook his head. "It was my fault. You thought I didn't love you and I-" I interrupted him. "Don't apologize. Please." He smiled and nodded. I looked at Zeus. The king of the gods sighed and said, "Luke Castellan, you are forgiven." I smiled and walked back to the others after hugging Hermes again. It was Omegas turn. He stood in the middle of the room near the fire. "You all know me as Omega. That is who I am now. I left my old life behind. I survived the second titan war, I survived the second giant war and I'm one of the seven, hero of Olympus, betrayed demigod. My mother named me Percy Jackson and I'm a son of Poseidon." He closed his eyes, waiting for a reaction. The throne room was in utter silence, until Poseidon stood up. "Don't call yourself a betrayed demigod. It was a trap of our enemy. They would have never betrayed you, they loved and still love you. You are my son, a hero of Olympus and its two time savoir. You are the leader of camp half-blood, and boyfriend of Annabeth Chase. Omega is just a name. Percy Jackson is a person. Percy Jackson is a hero." Percy had tears in his eyes. I had never seen him cry before. "Thanks  dad. That means a lot to me." Poseidon smiled and shoved a pen in his sons hand. "Riptide is yours. I don't want you to ever send it back to me again." Percy nodded,  clutching his pen. Why did he sent Riptide back to Poseidon? "We have to go to Camp half-blood now. I am sorry, but I can't talk longer with you dad. I have to talk to someone very wise. Could you flash us there?", Percy said, addressing Zeus with his last question. The god nodded and I was engulfed in a bright light.
As I could see again, I realised I stood infront of my old home, Camp half-blood. Everything was the same, the strawberry  fields, the big house and the pavilion. But there were more cabins, and the campers weren't as happy and active as usual. I glanced around me. The warriors stood side by side, followed by the gods. Zeus mentioned us to go through the border. As I passed the big pine tree that once was Thalia, I laid my hand on the rough bark. I could stay hear all day, thinking about old times, but my thoughts were interrupted by a horn blowning. The campers had noticed us. Omega stopped and waited for the gods to explain everything to the campers. "Campers, this is the Omega sector of the Chaos army. They are warriors and here to help in this war. They don't have to reveal themselves, so don't even ask them. They can stay in every cabin they want to, because we don't have a Chaos cabin." Without waiting for the children to response, he flashed out, the other gods following, leaving us to answer the questions. Omega stepped forward and said, "I'm Omega, first in command of the Omega sector and co-commander of the whole army. The girl in the pink hood is Spy, the boy holding her hand is her boyfriend Explosion. Next to them are Thunder and Ghost. On my right are Alpha, Arrow, the boy in yellow is Healer. The girl in the back hood is Constellation and we are the warriors of Chaos." "Welcome commander Omega. I'm Chiron, leader of this camp. In which cabin would you like to sleep?" Percy smiled at his old mentor. "Lord Poseidon offered us to sleep in his cabin." Chirons smile faltered a bit, but he nodded and lead us the way. "Chiron?", asked Omega. The old centaurus stopped and looked at him. "We would like to reveal ourselves to you." Chiron seemed surprised, but said nothing, waiting for us to start. One after one, each of us took our hoods down. Chiron gasped. In the end, we all got a lot of hugs, and things like "Don't die again", "I've missed you", and one or two slaps. I got the slaps. My cheek hurt, but I smiled at my former mentor nevertheless. He sighed and said, "It's good to have you all back. You should probably talk to your cabin mates and friends." We nodded and turned toward Omega, waiting for his command.
