Third, person POV


"Do we have a plan?" Alpha asked Omega.

"Yes. Explain who we are and what we are doing here and then go to Camp Half-Blood." Omega said quietly.

The soldiers shifted in discomfort. "We've never done anything like this so do we just stand behind you or what?" Angel spoke.

Omega sighed and rubbed his temples. He couldn't believe the demigods were so incompetent and clueless. They had no experience and yet they were sent to fight a war against so many monsters it was almost laughable. Almost.

"Just stand behind me and follow my lead. Don't say anything, don't do anything, don't look weird. Do whatever I do and for god's sake," Omega growled. He turned around and glared at the soldiers separately. "Do not whatsoever give any hints about who you are yet, whether it be a phrase, or a look, or body language, nothing. Act like emotionless wooden boards." He turned back around and ignored the exchanged looks the five demigods were giving each other.

"Ready?" the assassin said in a grave tone.

"As we'll ever be." Forge said. He unlinked his hand from Dove's sadly.

DING, DING, DING, DING! The train came to a sudden stop that made the 6 demigods lean forward, almost falling forwards.

They stepped out of the train and onto Olympus grounds the second the doors slid open.

They ignored the nymphs and the satyrs staring at them. They ignored the plates of food that were being handed out and they ignored the demigods that littered the courtyard. They ignored the thunder and lightning in the sky and they ignored the tears that were falling out of the eyes of every creature on Earth.

They walked briskly through the streets. "Why is everyone crying?" Star and Dove said at the same time.

"I don't know but we must get to Olympus before the meeting starts," Omega answered quietly.

The soldiers rolled their eyes at his business manner but followed him into the throne room.

The second they entered all eyes were on them. The Olympians were staring, the demigods from Camp Half-Blood were staring and the ones from Camp Jupiter.

Omega was surprised to see demigods there. He had thought only the gods were involved in the meeting.

"Take a seat." Zeus, the king of Olympus and god of thunder and lightning, commanded as he gestured to six chairs in the middle of the throne room.

The soldiers walked forward and sat in the chairs but Omega remained where he was.

Zeus opened his mouth to protest but Hera grabbed his arm and shook her head slightly. Zeus closed his mouth but his eye twitched. "Introduce yourselves to the council and to the half-bloods of the Greek and Roman camps."

Star stood up and introduced herself. "My name is Star.

"I'm Angel," she said.

"I am Forge," he said and gave Star a look. She remembered and sat down.

"My name is Dove," she says gently. Her voice was soft and sweet but no one except the soldiers knew she could kill anyone. She sat down. No one noticed Forge and hers linked hands. Except for Alpha and Omega.

"My name is Alpha." the last sitting soldier said. He didn't stand up.

"And my name is Omega. Before any of you ask we will not be revealing our identity at this time unless we receive orders from Chaos to do so," he spoke before any asked the question.

"Who exactly are we fighting against?" Athena asked curiously. She didn't like not knowing.

The five demigod soldiers looked at Omega. They were also not informed of who the enemies were. The only thing Chaos had told them was that they were powerful beings and they might even be able to rival Chaos in power.

Omega gulped and braced himself for screams of outrage, fear, and rage. "We are fighting against the titans, giants, a few primordials such as Nyx and Erebus, and lastly, Chaos's younger sister, Void."

There was a split second of silence before the throne room erupted into chaos.

Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus were yelling about how we were supposed to take down a sibling of Chaos, Artemis and Athena were arguing about the fact that they think it's a myth, and the rest were arguing about, well.... all of the above.

Omega didn't get mad. He had learned a long time ago that getting angry and yelling and threatening wasn't going to get him anywhere so instead he just muttered a curse under his breath. The Olympians were coughing and gasping, their voices were completely gone. They couldn't speak.

"Are all of you going to stop arguing and finally shut up because this meeting was for information, not yelling," Omega said calmly.

The Olympians nodded but a new voice spoke out. "How can you use magic?" the familiar voice asked.

It took Omega a split second to realize where exactly he had heard that voice before recognizing it. His heart twisted in pain and it made him want to throw up. He slowly turned to face the daughter of Athena. "Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. Nice to meet you."
