N/A: Anddddddddd I'm back! I know I've been gone for like, one week, but here you go, another chapter :) Sorry to anyone who has been looking forward to the PJO/HOO fanfic I was going to publish after I finished this fanfic but I realise that that fanfic had no realistic plot and I didn't want a cliché plot like Nyx is the bad guy and Caleo is happening again and the 7 all have kids and there kids have to go on this quest to defeat Nyx blablabla.... Because that is seriously boring. So I'll be starting a story, not a fanfic based about these 4 teenagers going through this mutant transformation and blablabla not gonna spoil it. But the TROM comes first, so here we go Chapter 21!

-------THIS LINEBREAK THINKS THAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE LONGEST AUTHOR'S NOTES EVER-------

Torrent

I had been shackled to that god-damned pole for about 10 hours before Olive Springs came back in. Instead of her fully black attire, she was wearing a silver coat over a black dress and leggings. Her strange eyes surveyed my face before sparkling, like she was an evil maniac, and she grinned.

"Hello, sweetie, how have you been? I hope the hours of peace and tranquility would help you think about what I said. And don't worry, your darling Chrysanthemum has already delivered me Creyfon Signate, and is about to bring me Alexandria Sparrow as well. I hope you three will be adequate spies in Mevolent's castle." her honey voice said, dipped in poison.

"Spies?" I asked, slightly confused, "you want us to be spies?"

She smiled. "Of course, sweetie! You are immensely powerful without any warlock-enchanted trinket, and those gray eyes of yours are just too innocent for anyone to ignore. Alexandria is clever and talented, and her amulet has so much power in it for me to spare her. Chrysanthemum's ability as a Sensitive and a Necromancer is rare, and her youth makes her look untrained. My father would rather give you an olive tree instead of a sword, and three young sorcerers looking for a job would be accepted immediately."

"Uh... what? For a start, my eyes are blue, not gray. Secondly, Lexi is too recognizable to be walking around in broad daylight as a maid, and I doubt Serpine would want her to be hurt. And thirdly, Chrys wouldn't agree." I stammered, as Olive's eyes bore into me. Her grin started to widen as she laughed.

"Oh, Torrent, don't you think I have all of it covered? Serpine doesn't know it, but he works under my orders. He is my second-in-command, and I think you saw that he is helping me hoard weapons in the resistance bases. He has no choice but to listen to me. Alexandria would need Chrysanthemum as someone who could change the color of her eyes, and they'll be fine. Well, Storm has already agreed, and I sense that she has already started to prepare them for their journey here. And just to answer your question Torrent, look at your eyes in the mirror. I cannot say they are more blue than silver. I find it strange that you and your friends have such peculiar eye colors. Emerald green, sapphire blue, silver, amber... such beautiful shades. And sweetie, don't try to hide your affections towards Alexandria. It's as clear as a cloudless night-sky, with your emotions as the stars. It's adorable I must say."

I frowned at her. My eyes were silvery, that's true, but how could she know so many things at once? "My school-boy crushes are none of your business. And if what you say is true, that means you literally have eyes and ears all over the MULTIVERSE. My 12 year old brain still cannot comprehend fully what you mean, but I'm pretty sure that is impossible."

"Do you need more convincing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Let me show you. In the locket I wear around my neck, there is a sigil that lets me see what I want to see across the multiverse. Another one increases my magic. This way I am always more powerful and resourceful than you, or anyone in your dimension. And if you still do not believe me, I shall have Nefarian Serpine come and torture you to your senses."

My mind loaded as she spoke. That's what she meant 10 hours ago when she said her second in command was not a nice person to be tortured by. It was Serpine himself. That meant that Olive knew what we were doing when we killed Silas Nadir, so that's why she wanted Chrys and Lexi to come, and how she knew about my out of control abilities. A clump of clothing broke into my daydreams.

It was a pair of black pants and a silver top with a black jacket.

"Silver and black is what most of the Resistance wear, so any Resistance soldier would be able to tell that you are on their side. My father would most likely make you a servant, since you are so young, or a messenger, which means that your uniform would be similar to this. Go get changed, and soon I'll bring your two friends in to meet you." She clicked her heels and banged the door shut again, making me wince. Reluctantly, I changed out of the brown cargo pants and white shirt I had been wearing when I was captured and put on the outfit Olive had given me. It managed to fit me, although I felt incredible odd in them. Olive's last words rung in my head.

Soon I'll bring your two friends in to meet you. What condition would they be in? I was not hurt since she had just grabbed me and shunted, but what about them? Lexi and Chrys was the smartest of the five, and the quickest. Olive would have a hard time trying to catch them. But what if.... 

What if Chrys had really agreed to Olive's terms?

Why would she even do that?

Unless... unless she loved me.

N/A: Oh my god that was a horrible chapter. It was all Torrent thinking in his head and Olive speaking! Also, I know I said in the Ghanith one shot that the last chapter I would write in March 2016 would be that chapter but I totally forgot that there were 31 days in March. Also, I would just like to ask every one thanks to RubyFox511 what is a Munchkin in your perspective? It's not going to change the fact that you are my evil Munchkin army but I would just like to know :)

Disclaimer:

Lexi: Dude that was a weird ending. I'm glad that I don't know Torrent likes me in the real fanfic

Chrys: Thank you Jade for making Torrent smarter than he really is.

Torrent: HEY that's not funny Chrys.

Me: *sighs* stop arguing I can control you.

Jasper: Nobody except for Derek Landy let him live forever owns the characters of the original Skulduggery Pleasant series, even though all characters mentioned except for Serpine belong to Jade Sparrow. Thanks Jade!

Me: Thanks Jasper. Happy April Fools in two days! I'm counting down.
