Another one bites the dust...

No sooner had Pallas and the remainder of Kronos forces left, then Kyle quickly put his plan into action. He helped Zoey remember her lines, before he knocked her unconscious. With the help of some other Demigods, Kyle was bruised and cut up. He was bleeding, and a few monsters were sacrificed to make the looks of a small battle. No one could know they were spies of Kronos.

He quickly dropped to one knee beside Zoey, and yelled,"Somebody help, we have a wounded half blood, here." The son of Hephaestus waited for those he knew would arrive any moment. These were the ones that had been chasing Thalia. He wondered if she had taken Lord Kronos offer to train her to use her powers to their full extent. He certainly didn't see her anywhere.

OOC:Okay, Thalia, Zoey's job is to pretend she's had a change of heart, so she can continue to help Kyle spy on Lord Kronos.

OOC: I got ya. I will do as planned.

BIC: Having remembered all my lines, Kyle knocked me out. My body lay limp on the ground. I was surrounded by darkness and I felt nothing. I was going to have to remember to knock the hell out of Kyle later.

Kyle stayed kneeled beside Zoey. He acted worried. "I have no idea what happened. I was just walking down the beach to meet one of my brothers. I was going to show him my knew double-bladed axe, I made. I saw a small ship anchored here, and decided to check it out. I found Zoey, here, on the ground unconscious, and I got attacked when I went to help her. Thank the gods they werent really interested, or I would be dead."

"Apparently, they have some sort of big plans with this one chick named Thalia. Something about perfect monster, or something. I've never met her, but from what I could hear before they were about to kill me."

He paused and looked down at Zoey, still feigning worry.

Kyle did not like that Malcom boy, but he had already been a spy for Lord Kronos for almost a year now, so he was great at his stories. He remembered telling them that he had never met Thalia, which was true, until a few moments ago when she left for Mount Othrys, he hoped.

He replied,"Look man, I already told you. I've never met Thalia, hell I haven't even seen her, so I wouldn't know what she looks like even if I did see her. I did, however see a chick with really creepy looking red eyes, I've never seen before, come running out of the woods while we were fighting. Once I got surrounded, however, I didn't really see her, anymore. I Sony know if that's her, but that's the only girl I saw with any noticeable features. There were a couple of other female half bloods, but they both wore all black armor. Other than that, I didn't see any other chicks. Why? Is she in league with the Lord of Time, or something?"

He said the Lord of Time, because names had power, especially so if a half blood said it. Something horrible might happen if he mentioned the Titan Lord's name. He looked down at Zoey, and said,"Are you two just gonna stand there asking questions, or are you going to help me see if she is alright? I mean, she doesn't look that good. I don't know much about first aid, being a son of Hephaestus, and all."

Kyle sighed, the son of Athena was making things a bit difficult, but he'd been a spy for so long no one would expect him of being one. It wasn't hard, you just had to know what to do, the right way. "Fine, if that will get you to help her. I'll even put my weapons down, if that will make you feel more comfortable. I have no need to use my battle axe anymore, anyway. Here."

He threw down his shield and Celestial Bronze double-bladed Battleaxe, and stepped back a few steps. "Is that better? I should be among friends, not enemies."

Kyle continued to look worried. He said,"I understand, but I'd much rather be in the forges right now than out here. How is she? Does she need any medical attention?" The son of Hephaestus sighed. Tonight was shaping out to be difficult. He closed his eyes, and knelt down. He was very uncomfortable with the way things had turned out. He was pleased with how well he had commanded his first platoon of monsters and Demigods. He was shaping up to be one of Lord Kronos chief lieutenants. He would continue to work hard.

Closing his eyes, he reached into his pocket, and produced a small toy animal made of Celestial Bronze. It had been given to him by his father as a gift before he was born. He wondered, silently, to himself why he had chosen to side with Kronos. He couldn't remember. It was something about being abandoned. He sighed, there was no going back, now. He would be killed.

After a moment, he remembered why. Kronos had given him the attention he craved, and told him that he was like a son to him. It made Kyle feel special. He had never met his father, and therefore, thought his Hephaestus didn't want him, so he thought it was a no brainer to join Kronos, because he actually cared, unlike the gods, who only used heroes for their own purposes. He sighed, again, and thought, Its not that simple, anymore.
