We have to distrust each other.
It is our only defense against betrayal

150 Chaos Years (15 Earth Years) Later...

"Knock it off, Omega!" Luke/Alpha growled, throwing part of his lunch at my face. He didn't like it when I teased him, but he especially disliked me teasing him about today being his and Zoë's four year anniversary.

You're probably thinking: Luke and Zoë?! They're both dead and Zoë is a Hunter of Artemis. She swore off boys.

Yes, they were dead. Along with my other soldiers; Bianca, Silena, and Beckendorf.

However, Chaos brought them back to life as a gift for my 25th year on planet Προέλευσης. Despite the fact that he literally named the planet out of his love for the Modern Greek language, Chaos liked calling this planet 'beginning', it's English translation.

Now, my old friends were apart of Chaos's elite army with me as their commander and, later Luke, as my second in command. He was the first person I asked Chaos to bring back as a way of thanking him after what happened with Kronos.

Best part? Everybody had their own special code names:

Luke - Alpha, Second in Command
Zoë - Star
Bianca - Shadow, Third in Command
Beckendorf - Forge
Silena - Beauty
Me - Omega, Commander

For the first twenty-five years on this planet, I trained. Training had been the only thing I used to take my mind off camp. Despite the facade, I put up, it still hurt. My army members hardly asked why I was here. When they did, I wouldn't tell them. There was no way I was ready for that. The only time I acted the way I was on Earth were on special occasions. Otherwise, I acted like a ruthless Roman praetor.

Today was one of those special occasions where I acted like how I was before. Luke and Zoë's anniversary was today. Not only that, but Beckendorf asked me to be his best man at his and Silena's wedding upcoming wedding. My little cousin, Bianca, just started dating the Beta Army's commander, Tasia, two weeks ago.

(A/N: Yes Bianca is a lesbian in this. Fight me.)

As for me, Commander of the Elite Army and Chaos's adoptive son, I refused to engage in any relationship after Annabeth. It pained me even to think about her or our former relationship. I think her kissing someone else would be grounds for me to move on from Annabeth and start something new, but I couldn't bring myself to.

Selfishly, I was glad everyone died before me and Annabeth got together because it meant I rarely had to deal with inquiries about a relationship between us. Every once in a while, someone would make a reference to camp relationships and how they were surprised me and Annabeth never ended up together. They probably just assumed I was struck out or something.

I wiped away the food Luke had thrown at me. "Hey! It was your fault for telling me you liked her."

"I didn't tell you! You eavesdropped on my confession to her! It didn't help that you were singing 'Kiss the Girl' from Little Mermaid." Luke protested. A light chuckle slipped through my mouth as I took a sip of my blue coke. Even after more than a century, my love for blue never faded.
