I adjusted the mask that I always wore for about the 6th time this meeting. And the meeting hadn't even officially started yet.

"Commander Petra, members of sector 32," Chaos said, officially starting the meeting. I sat up straighter in my seat and started to report on all the things that had happened in the past month. Chaos listened carefully and commented and parts of it, until my report finally ended.

"I have some news you are not going to like," Chaos scratched the back of his neck nervously.  I looked at him, confused.

"I struck a deal with Gaea and Tartarus- it involves going to war against the Olympians. And it would require you to play the role of a spy," Chaos winced. Rage rushed through me, bringing things into focus for me. See, unlike most people, who when they are angry, run hot, losing their temper and going crazy, I run cold. Things clear up and I am able to focus on the thing in front of me, as well as do what I need to do to overcome it.

But today I pushed my anger away and listened to Chaos' reasoning. I was the Commander of the Stratiotiko Chaos, the Army of Chaos and Chaos' right-hand man. I wasn't about to let my emotions get in the way of doing my job, especially at a time that seemed to be a time of war.

"A spy? And what is exactly the plan for that?" I asked. Chaos passed a folder of papers over to me. I took it, realizing it was a mission file.

I quickly opened it and started to read.

Mission SI59-M132
Objective: Earn the trust of Olympians and demigods and pass along information to the Stratiotiko Chaos for use in the upcoming war as well as sabotaging Olympus and the demigod camps.
Leader: Commander Petra of the Stratiotiko Chaos
All members of the mission: The elite of Chaos; Luke Castellan, Gerdis X., Lillis M., Alexander G., Bianca di Angelo and Charles Beckendorf.

I smiled sadly at Beckendorf's name. His story was especially sad. Despite Silena's redemption, the judges of the Underworld still banished her soul to Tartarus for involvement in Kronos. Beckendorf had witnessed her banishment to Tartarus, and had gladly excepted Chaos' offer when he appeared later that day.

I flipped the page and read my alias for the mission.

Name: Jaden Ellis
Has spiky brown hair and dark chocolate colored eyes. Commander of the Stratiotiko Chaos. Supposedly there to help with the war, along with his team of elites.

There was more, but I stopped reading after that. I could read more later. Right now I needed to confirm the mission with Chaos.

"Commander Petra?" Chaos said professionally.

"As you wish Lord Chaos. I shall take my team to the throne room of the Olympians for the beginning of our mission tomorrow morning. Please inform unit FAA37 of our need for gear and have them get our gear ready before tomorrow morning," I responded, requesting the Forgery and Armory unit for assistance.

Chaos nodded and dismissed me. I walked back to my room, mulling over what Chaos had just told me. I glanced at the picture in the corner of my room, the picture of my mom and spoke a single sad truth to it.

"I guess your little boy is finally coming home. One way or another."

I'm alive.
Anyone have a ship they'd like to see for Percy, or anyone really? The story could go a couple different ways depending on the ship, so I'm not sure what I'll do.
Anyway, hope y'all are alive,
Your dear Author who is still sadly single
