Judging The Challenge

Challenge 1 Part 4

All The Contestants joined us in the Meeting Room.

"With that, the Challenge comes to an end," Atropos said.

"Not yet!" Rachel exclaimed, throwing her last Olympaball at Atropos.

Immediately, Clarisse threw her ball at Clotho, and two out of Three Fates were taken out.

Mom drew her hand back to throw her Olympaball at Lachesis, but Lachesis just laughed.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Lachesis asked. "You don't know the consequences of doing that."

"We'll be free," Medusa said, aiming her Olympaball at Lachesis.

"Sure, but have you even thought of what we're doing here?" Lachesis cackled. "We're also making sure the Pit doesn't come any closer. So take me out of the game, but it'll be at your own risk."

Suddenly, there was a flash, and a lady made of... Space appeared next to Lachesis.

"I am Khaos," she said. "I offer you a compromise, Perseus Jackson. Should one of the Contestants claim Lachesis, you will be given a timer. Every five weeks, there must be One Winner. If there isn't, I will let Tartarus loose upon you. Do you accept?"

"What if I say no?" I asked.

"Then you will still only have five weeks before Tartarus reigns over this land," Khaos said. "Only then, I will give you to him, to do as he wills."

"That's not much of a choice," I said. "Medusa, get Lachesis."

Lachesis screamed in anger as Medusa launched the ball, and then she flashed away.

"Now, I will not be the Judge," Khaos said. "However, the screens everywhere will give my message and my verdict. I look forward to your time as a god, Perseus Jackson."

Khaos flashed away.

"Holy fuck," I said. "That was fucking Khaos."

The screens showed a new message.
