Respect of the Assassin
3rd Person POV
Altair knelt down next to Gorgall, his is last victim. The victim that has given him so much trouble this past two year; but yet, the trouble he has given Altair has made this mission far more exhilarating and worthwhile. He now knows what Chaos truly meant when he said 'it makes the hunt more satisfying when it is more difficult.'
Even though he is a killer and that these targets that he has been assigned to kill have done terrible things in their lives he still shows them respect. That is one thing that makes him human, the ability to show compassion even to those who don't deserve it.
He places two fingers one Gorgall's eyelids and shuts them. He then places his hand on his forehead closed his eyes and begins chanting in ancient Greek. "I'm sorry, my friend, that I have taken this life from you which was not meant to end yet. You chose a path that put grief and harm to others, for which you had to end. I hope that you find peace in the afterlife, my friend."
When he finished he pulled out a white feather. He slid the feather across the knife wound that had ended Gorgall with one strike. It was directly in the middle of his neck, a perfect blow. The feather was used to identify each victim that Altair had killed.
When he finished he put the feather back in his pouch on his belt and got up. He bowed to the now blooded and limp body of Gorgall and walked off. It took him about 20 minutes to finally reach his ship. A small one man ship that is auto-piloted but can also be flown. It is one of the fastest ships in the Federation and is also like an apartment. it has a small bed, a shower, and a toilet in it. When he reached the ship he got in and was immediately greeted by the ships computer, Bot, as Altair calls him.
"My Lord," Bot greeted. "I see your mission was a success."
"Yes, finally after two years I have got him" Altair answered back.
"You always get you target, Sir. Where would you like me to set the destination for?"
"The planet Abyss, I need to inform Chaos of my success…Plus I need a long rest."
"Of course, Sir. Setting course to Sector 1…Galaxy…Cosmos, System…Solar One, Planet…Abyss."
Bot waited for a few seconds for seconds for the coordinates to set in the ships computer. When the coorsinates where set he spoke.
"Coordinates set, Sir. Time till destination is 8 hours and 53 minutes."
"Thank you, Bot."
"You're welcome, Sir. I suggest that you sleep until we arrive…I will wake you up when we reach our destination."
"Thank you. It has been a few days since I have had any sleep." Altair didn't even bother getting ready for bed. He was so tired that he went straight to the bed, plopped down on it, and went straight to sleep. It was a good sleep…but he's had better. This time he had a vivid dream of his past, a past that he didn't really want to relive again.
*Flashback*
Percy was up at the big house helping Chiron move some things around. He was particularly happy today. He just found out that his mother was pregnant with a little girl. She was 2 months along her pregnancy. Everything was going great for him, he was going to have a little sister, he has an amazing girlfriend, and all of his friends were immortal with him.
When he finished helping Chiron he started going down to the lake. Tonight's the night he thought. He was taking Annabeth on a date tonight, and he was thinking about proposing. Aphrodite got Hephaestus to make a beautiful engagement ring just for them. It was a silver ring with a big diamond in the middle with little emeralds around it. On it said 'forever and for always'. On the inside was engraved 'Percy and Annabeth'.
He loved it and he knew she would love it.
He was walking toward the beach to just relax when he heard giggle in the forest. He went to see what it was when he saw Mark, his annoying half-brother kissing some blonde haired girl. They looked like they were in so much love. He knew what it felt like so he shook his head happily and began walking toward the beach again.
"Oh Annabeth!" He stopped dead in his tracks. No it can't be her! She would never cheat on me, would she?.
"Mark, not so loud. I don't want Percy to find out." What! His temper flared. He knelt down behind a bush, waiting to see if it was truly her. She turned around and he held her from behind. His worries we confirmed. He saw those beautiful grey eyes that he fell in love with.
"I don't care if Percy found out. I Love You!" Mark said. She turned back around facing him.
"I Love You, too" That was it. that was the final straw. He came out of the bush.
"And why, Annabeth, don't you want me to find out." He said
She turned to him and her heart fell. She'd been caught, with his own brother to make thing worse. She knew there would be no way to get herself out of this.
"Percy Ple-"She tried to apologize. Be he knew what he saw.
"Save it, Annabeth!" he yelled
"Percy it's…it's not what it looks like!"
"Oh it's not? I think it's exactly what it looks like!" Percy said
"We were just-"
"Don't even finish that sentence!" He flared. She opened her mouth to say something but he wasn't through yet. "I thought you loved ME…and ONLY me. But I guess I was wrong. Don't you dare lie to me. I saw you making out with him. I heard you say you loved him."
She started crying. She tried to reach out to him but he smacked her hand away.
"We are over, Annabeth!"
"No please, Percy…don't leave me I'm sorry please please-" she could barely she because her tears were covering her eyes.
"I was going to propose tonight! But I guess Hephaestus mad this ring for nothing." He pulled out the ring to show her. She was speechless, he was going to propose. She had no idea. But we she reached out for the ring he shut the box.
"Have a nice life, Annabeth, but without me in it!"After he said that he stormed off.
Scene Changes
Percy turned on the water and a rainbow formed.
"O Iris, Goddess of rainbows, accept my offering. Show me Nico Di Angelo of the Underworld." When he finished he threw a gold drachma in the rainbow and image appeared.
Nico was playing with Cerberus, the three headed guard dog of the underworld. He threw the red rubber ball down the valley and Cerberus chased after it.
"Nico!" Percy yelled. Nico turned and put on a grin when he saw him
"Hey man what's up"
"I'm leaving camp."
"What? Why?" Nico asked
"Everyone there has forgotten about me. They all love Mark now. I'm a nobody to them. The only ones that still care for me are always away. You. Thalia. And Grover. Everyone else…they don't care. They made Mark immortal. All he did was kill one hydra. I had enough I have to leave."
"Where will you go?"
"I'm not sure yet." Percy said.
"Please be careful, Percy. You are one of the very few friends I have."
Percy chuckled, "I will man. Can you tell Thalia and Grover for me. I would but I'm out of Drachmas."
"Sure man"
"Bye, Nico"
"Bye, Percy" Percy slashed his hand through the message and it disappeared. He finished packing. He took out Riptide and set it on his nightstand.
"Stay" he told it. Then walked out of the cabin closed the door. He walked up to Thalia's pine and touched it. He looked back down to camp one last time then walked down the hill.
*Flashback ended*
He woke up when, Bot yelled that they finally were at the Planet Abyss and were starting their decent to the Palace of Chaos.
When they finally landed Altair thanked Bot then got out of the ship. He started walking up the stairway to the palace. They guards that were on duty opened the door for him and then bowed. He gave them a small nod but nothing more.
When he finally got to the Throne Room the guard did the same thing. Opened the doors and bowed. No one was in there except for Chaos sitting on his midnight black throne.
"Ah Perseus I see your mission was finally a success." Chaos spoke, "That slave trader will no longer cause people any suffering." Chaos is the only one that knows his true name. So when they are alone Chaos calls his by Perseus and not Altair.
"Yes. He gave me some trouble, but I have never failed you yet. And I don't plan on it" Altair answered.
"No you haven't…but to take two years to kill a slave trader. You must be losing your touch." Chaos said.
Altair snorted, "ha never have and never will, but I will admit. Gorgall has given me quite a lot of…fun" he said trying to find the right word to describe it.
Chaos grinned, "Of course, I trained you after all. Do you have the feather?" Altair nodded. He pulled it out of his belt pouch and gave it to Chaos. He grinned happily. "Good, now have a new mission for you…you're not going to like it. but it is necessary that you succeed."
"What is it, Master?"
"To go to Earth and help the Olympians" Altair narrowed his eyes and mentally yelled NO, I can't go back there!
"What is wrong on Earth?" He asked
"Prometheus has helped some of the titans escape such as Hyperion, Atlas, and Krios. We also believe that the Titans are trying to bring back Kronos"
"That's nothing that they can't handle." He knew it wasn't true but wanted a reason not to go back there.
"Yes but we also believe that they are trying to raise Gaea." Altair's jaw dropped. "I have sent Beta Company. But I want you to go. You have had experience fighting the Titans and they will need all the help that they can get. Plus you are a better fighter than anyone there."
"I-I-You are right, Master."
"Don't worry. You don't have to give anyone your identity. You can remain as Altair. You leave tomorrow at 0800 hours"
"Yes, Master" Altair bowed and left
He walked toward his room in the north wing of the palace. When he god there his saw something that was unexpected. One of his many lovers, Neriath, was laying his bed in a sexy silk dress. She had black hair with white in it. She had a piercing of a spike right below her lip. She had a tribal tattoo on her left for forearm and a tattoo of three intertwined dragons on her back. She was drop dead Gorgeous. And she was an amazing lover, by far his favorite.
"What are you doing here, Neriath?" he asked. He knew the reason but he could help it.
"Well I heard you where one your way back. You finally killed that slave trader. And I know how amazing you are when you are in a good mood. I've been lonely without you." She said is a seducing voice.
Altair grinned. He could never say no to her. But then his face fell and he wouldn't look at her.
"What's wrong, my love?" she said while getting up and walking over to him.
"I'm not it a great mood, Neriath. I just found out that I am going to Earth." He answered. She didn't say a word. He told her where he was from. She was his only lover that knew where he was from. She didn't know his real name but she did know that he left Earth and never wanted to go back.
She slowly moved her hand across his body and started kissing his neck.
"Well, let me make you feel better. Would you deny me this? She said while leaned into his neck.
"Of course not." He answered her. She leaned up to kissed him, a kiss which he returned with pleasure. He put his hands on her hips. Slowly and softly they kissed for a few minutes. She smelt like the sea. She knew he loved that smell. He rubbed his hands up and down her back which send shivers all throughout her body.
His hands went up to the straps of her dress and pulled them off of her shoulders, which cause the dress to fall down. He looked her up and down for a bit. A site he has seen so many times but always loved to see it over and over again.
She then started to remove his armor and cloths. When she finished they started kissing again. He pushed her back to the bed and she fell on it. He then gracefully leaped on the bed and crawled on top of her. He started tracing her jaw line with his lips and finished at her neck and she make an angelic moan.
"Please, Altair don't tease me!" she said in a soft moan. And with that they made love all night long. When they finished they fell asleep in each other's arms not wanting to let go.
Oh how he loved they way she made him feel.
