The boy in the purple sweatshirt entered the dark room. The only light was a couple candles on the walls.

A desk was in the center of the room. A man was sitting in a chair behind the desk, his eyes closed.

"Halcyon." the boy said.

Halcyon smiled, opening his eyes. "You came."

"As requested."

"What you did in the arena was... impressive. I thought you were lying when you said you could fight."

The boy smirked. "Maybe you shouldn't underestimate me."

"Which brings me to why I wanted to speak with you."

"You know how to fight. More importantly, you know how to kill."

"You want me to kill someone."

"Six people."

"That would cost you a lot."

"How much do you want?"

"Six blocks of netherite. Or more, depending on who you want me to kill."

"They go by the names of Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Leo Valdez, Wilbur Soot, TommyInnit, and Quackity."

"I've heard of three of them."

"They are traveling together. They all have similar skill levels."

"Should be easy enough. Six blocks of netherite."

Bring me proof that they are dead, and the payment will be yours. Good luck, Grayson."

The boy turned and walked back out the door. "Call me Purpled."
