Chapter 2 | I become a Leader (Again, I don't want to)
I trained with my new friends again and again. Every day, I colapsed onto my bed, tired and sapped. But thinking of Annabeth who would be training as hard as me after hearing tha Keia will come to Earth helped.
" 'Til when do we train?" I asked Monica one day.
"Until we become a Leader and get a Section."
"What about Earth?"
"Time here passes more slowly than Earth, so don't think that you wont be there in time." Monica's words soothed me little.
"How much?"
"Hmm...if I remember correctly, a year in Earth equels 182 years here."
"Wont we be too old to fight in 182 years?"
Monica laughed. "We have long lives, and Chaos must've done something about your aging when he brought you here." Monica then slipped her gun out in the blink of an eye and shot a warning. "C'mon, let's fight."
I took Riptide out of my pocket and prepared. "Sure, why not?"
~=*=~
The next 100 years passed. In those 100 years, I learned to make Lex's arrows go off course, steal-- erm, take Kyle's spear, and deflect Monica's bullets in mid-air. Oh, and I also stole and hid Seb's shield/emergency kit.
When I woke up and looked around to change, I saw a pair of clothes neatly stacked on my desk with a note on top of them. I opened the note first.
Come to my office at 9 - C
I looked up at the clock. I realised that it was almost 8:30 after deciphering the weirdly shapes numbers. I quickly washed my face and hair before pulling the clothes on. Surprisingly, they fit perfectly.
I arrived at the dining room to see Kyle and Seb eating. They were wearing clothes similar to mine.
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked, and they turned to me. A smile spread on Seb's face.
"Our sections. I told Kyle to have Section 5 and he said for me to take it. I wonder who's the human stun gun?" Seb raised an eyebrow at Kyle.
"But I don't want Section 5!" Kyle whined.
"What sections?" I took a bite out of an apple-shapes fruit, but not before burning a bit of it in the fire that burned in a corner.
"There are 7 main planets in Chaos' world and we call them Sections. We started training about 100 years before you came, and today, we're finally becoming Leaders. Sections 1 to 6 have an opening for Leaders right now." Kyle tossed a dirty plate into the air and an unseen servant whisked it away.
It made me a bit sad to see it. My stay at Calypso's island came back to me as clear as ever.
"We'll meet you at the office." Seb tossed his plate as well and I ran to my room while finishing my fruit.
8:56. I used my powers to brush my teeth and ran to the office.
9 o'clock.
"Right on time, Percy." Chaos nodded in my direction without looking. I stood next to Seb.
"It seems like yesterday you started your training, but now it's come to an end. It is now time for you to take the places of your seniors."
Just then, six figures entered throught the side door. They were wearing the same clothes, but somehow their images were different.
"We'll go from Section 1, Zetma, Monasian, Hitoeth, Riana, Aminios, and Costos. They will help your throughout your reign as Leaders, so treat them like family." Chaos waved his hand at them. "You may proceed." before I could react, the girl at the front of the line came over to me and attached a badge-like thing. Then she went down the one knee and bowed.
"Zetma of Section 1." Zetma had gray hair and skin as white as milk. Not knowing what to do, I looked around at Seb, who was frozen.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Lesian of Section 7, and this is Steia." In front of us, there was a pair of people with yellowish skin and pea-green hair. The person who spoke was the guy-Lesian. I followed Zetma's example and bowed.
--=+=--
After the meeting, everyone returned to their room, exept for me. Chaos told me to stay.
"You must be upset that everyone has it but you." Chaos handed me a black belt made from braided leather.
I studied it. "What is this?"
"That is a pill-storing belt. The contents of the pills depends on your decision. If you want it to be poison, it'll be poison. And if you want it to be a cure, it'll become a cure. But they have limits, don't rely too much on them."
I nodded at his advice.
"But it wont get damaged. The leather is strong as spider's silk, so I assure you it'll never snap. Use it well." With that, Chaos became a cloud of black dust that flew out the window.
"Thank you." I said, even though I knew he wouldn't hear. It seemed wise to show respect in any way I could.
