Prince of Shadows

Back to Camp

Hades POV
Zues summoned a meeting of the gods so I shadow traveled there and took a seat in the guest throne "as you all know the Titans have raised Gaia, we don't know whether she'll be able to raise the giants, but we need to be prepared" Zues said "Hades, what help can we expect from you?" Zues asked "I have an army of skeletons, I'll also be sending my two champions" I said "champions? Who?" Athena asked "that's not for me to say, if they want to reveal their identities they will" I said "this is boring, if this is how Olympian meetings go then I'm glad i'm not a member" I thought "that's valuable information Hades, we need to know who they are if they try to betray us" Zues said "why do you always assume someone's trying to betray you, have some faith brother" I retorted "very well, this meeting is over" Zues declared

Percy POV
Me and Nico have figured out the names we'll go by, Nico will be Shadow, and I'll be Blade, "go to camp half blood, try not to cause too much trouble" I heard Hades say in my mind, I looked toward Nico and could tell he heard it too, we went to our seperate rooms and put on our assassin clothes. We then shadow traveled to the camp boarders and waited for the campers to show up. A few seconds later the campers started showing up on the hill "who are you" Conner asked "Hades sent us, he wants us to help with the war" Nico said "we don't need your help" Annabeth said "and why is that?" I asked "I'm the best strategist in this camp, I'll think of a strategy that will win us the war" She said arrogantly "well like it or not we're here, so you'll just have to deal with it" I retorted, me and Nico then walked through the border "how'd you walk through? No one gave you permission" Annabeth asked suspiciously "we're not bound by your borders, we're champions of Hades, we go where we please" Nico said 'where's Chiron?" I asked "at the Big House" Rachael said, me and Nico walked to the Big House where we saw Chiron trot out "you are Hades' champions I presume" he said "yes we are, come, we need to speak privately" I said. We walked into the meeting room and closed the door "ok, if we're going to be staying here and fighting this war for you we need to set up some ground rules, first, the campers will listen to any commands that are given" I said "that won't be a problem" Chiron said "second, the campers will not enter our living quarters unless given permission" Nico said "where will you be staying?" Chiron asked, me and Nico snapped our fingers and two cabins appeared beside the Big House, both were completely black and the same size "and finally, if any campers are to treat either of us with disrespect or break our rules, they will be punished accordingly" I said "very well, I'll go tell the campers" Chiron said. We walked out and saw the campers waiting, Chiron then began listing our rules, after Chiron said the first rule Annabeth stepped up "we don't take orders from you" she said angrily "if you want to win this war you'll listen to us, and do you really want to anger two champions of the god of the dead?" Nico asked, Annabeth thought for a moment then walked back into the group, Chiron then continued to list the rules. When he finished the campers looked nervous "training begins tomorrow" I said before me and Nico walked toward the cabins, I took the left and Nico took the right "this might actually be pretty fun" I thought
