The Masked Legend (PJO Fanfic)

Chronos

Warning: This might be a terrible chapter!

Chronos likes to bet. Everyone knows that. It a basic fact that everyone knows in the mythical world. It like asking a student what is one plus one. Basic and easy.

   Salomao Hunter also likes to bet. Just no one exactly knows it. So when Chronos and Sal met for the first time, they immediately clicked. Like a puzzle piece.

   Chronos was off to a mission and this time it is to warn his best buddy the masked hunter. He went through a portal which leaded to the cabin. What he saw was Sal sitting there gently rubbing the fur of Lee. There was some sadness inside of his eyes and immediately Chronos knew what's wrong.

   " Hey Salomao." He greeted. The masked hunter looked up and mask his pain. A pain that he seen over the past 500 years. It wasn't heartbreak nor or betrayal.

   After all.............500 years ago that day.........is why Perseus Jackson son of Poseidon died and Salomao Hunter the son of no one and the masked hunter had been born into the mythology world.

  The masked hunter just smiled genuinely and shook Chronos's hand.
   " Hello. Any time for poker or some arcade?" He asked. The Primordial of Time just laughed and shook his head. As much as he wanted, Chaos's order is first. It was also an important message as well. After all, who knows what happens in the future.
   " Not today Sal. Chaos has a warning for you." He answered. The mischievousness and fun came out of Sal's eye. He went and grabbed a bottle of 1987 grape wine and pour some in a fancy glass.

   " Continue." He said drinking it. Some of the purple and red liquid trickled down his mask. He gulped down even more making Chronos nervous.
    A drunk Sal would be a bad thing.

   " There is something going on and Chaos doesn't know it yet. She wants you to be careful because you're a target that everyone are wary of." He explained. Sal just gestured him to continue.
     " Um, nothing else......" He spoke nervously looking down. By the time, he looked up again. Sal already on his second wine bottle. It was a different brand but still could get someone easily drunk. Sal then smashed his hand on a table.

    " Tell her to go to Tartarus. Last time I listened, my sister is gone!" He growled out. His eye turned a dark scary gold color. He clenched his fist so tight that it was white as a ghost. Chronos paled slightly unsure of what to do next.
" It a genuine warning this time Sal." Chronos tried to persuade. After what happened 500 years ago, Sal could never trust the words of Chaos. His only family that time was gone. Sal just glared at Chronos.
" If you are just going to send me this. Then go away! I don't want to hear it!" He yelled slamming once again on the table. The table now was slightly bent and Chronos just gulped in fear.

"Not exactly Salomao. She may be gone but not dead." Ananke said walking in from the portal. She casually grabbed the bottle of wine and pour herself a drink. Sal scowled at her and dropped his glass of wine on the table.

" And how would YOU know that. You weren't there when she got swallowed up by darkness." He questioned her. Ananke looked at him incredulously.

" Are you seriously questioning the very person who controls fate right now?" She questioned back raising an eyebrow. Sal blushed slightly inside. He glared at her and Chronos.

" Tell me where she is now!" He demanded remembering Ananke saying his sister wasn't dead. However Ananke just shook her head.

"Jackson-" She was interrupted by a dagger slamming into the table and a glare from a certain hunter. She gulped and then cleared her throat.

" Right, Hunter your sister may be alive but she's missing. I don't know what happened to her or where she is. All I know is she's not dead." Ananke informed him. Sal soften his glare and sighed. He looked depressed. Lee and the other hellhounds sensed that and just nuzzled at their master's leg.

The two primordial didn't know how to cheer up the masked hunter nor did they know anything that would help him. They only came because of Chaos. Suddenly, Chronos had a wonderful idea.

" Hey Sal, I will make an offer to you?" He asked in a mischievous voice. Ananke just stared at her husband incredulously.

" Not now!" She hissed at him. But all she got was a wink from the lord of time. Sal looked up. Those eye which was once full of happiness was all blank. He then looked back down and gesture him to speak.

"How about this? If you are able to survive 2 years of being Artemis's personal slave and steal me something for me. I'll give a gift. Nice one this time." He added in the last part. Sal perked up, his eye filled with hope.

" What is it?" He asked. Slight hope traced in his voice.

" I'll give you the power to turn back time." Chronos offered. He never offered this to anyone but Chronos thinks his buddy Sal deserves this power. Sal's eye went back to those happy eyes. He mockingly bowed in front of Chronos.

" Oh dear milord, what do you want me to retrieve?" He asked dramatically. Chronos smiled knowing his old friend had come back.

" Well, I want you steal Chaos's cookies for me." He answer. Ananke turned to face her husband. She then proceeded to smack him in the head.

" Ow! Ananke you never understand me! Do you even know how good it taste! Gods, they are the best!" Chronos exclaimed rubbing his wound. The primordial of fate just shook her head at her husband's stupidity.

" Idiot~" She said. But Chronos just smiled softly at her. His gold eyes held warmth and gentleness.

" But I'm your idiot." He said. He was about to kiss Ananke when Salomao just interrupted them.

" There are kids here Chronos. Gods, I think my eyes are blind!" He said covering his eyes. Chronos just glared at him. But then he just smiled sweetly at Sal and gave his wife a big kiss. Which caused the masked hunter to groan in disgust.

" I'll see you soon! I hope your eyes are well by that time!" Chronos said leaving with his wife.

Chronos's Palace

Chronos and Ananke arrived at their palace.

" You know dear. I think you just signed your own death certificate." She finally said. The lord of time paled slightly. He forgot about the old lady who rules the entire universe. But, Chronos just smirked slightly.

" I bet Sal will be my knight in shining armor." He said confidently. The primordial of fates just smiled playfully at her husband.

" 10 bucks, the knight will just walked away pretending he didn't know you." She said. The husband and wife and just grinned at each other.

" Deal!" They both said together.
