"You can't-" my voice broke. She wasn't upset with me? "Your younger brother dove into the darkness after you.". And surely everyone at Camp Half-Blood, maybe even Luke and his cronies, would be too afraid to come down to the Land of the Dead. I'd have to go back for them later. I care about you. You think Thalias with us? She shook her head. And there was only one other person in the world I could even hope would help me. "The witnesses were wood nymphs, they tend not to get involved in such things." Four adolescent girls emerged from the mist, all bearing a striking resemblance to Zo. "You weren't going to come back," he said. "Thalia," I said. The pain in my throat distracted me from the pain in the rest of my body, at least. I just stood with my jaw set. Before I could process what was happening, empousai daimons and dracanae snake women were flooding into the house. Thalia said in disbelief. Now? Hope you enjoy! ", "That's-" He shook his head. The mountaintop began blurring and fading. When Wonder Woman kidnaps Percy from his night in, what will happen? "They're probably gonna wait until I'm in too deep and then light the place up so we can't get out? She'd spent so many weeks lost and alone and scared. "No, it was a girl who had snuck onto Othrys. They didn't look up, so I spoke louder. And I've gotta make sure the bad guys don't follow us.". I looked up into the frazzled grey-eyed face of his best friend and wondered if he was glad he made his sacrifice. Luke said to the monster- I thought it might be some kind of giant- that had lifted dream-me. "No. It was much too big for that. It took two weeks to get all our plans in order. I looked around the room frantically, then took a deep breath as I realized that yes, I was still Bianca di Angelo, and I was still in bed in the run down but still livable Grace mansion, which Thalia had given me full access to last winter.

I nodded, and held out my hand to her. You left me like everyone else! There you are. So just beforeOk, thank you. He then quickly turned back around and went to follow the rest of the group. "We we aren't going to have to, you know.. fight them, are we?" Its you. Grovers hands started patting him down and Percy squirmed in pain and annoyance. No. Whoa, she held up a hand, and stepped over the threshold. Y- I began to say, but stopped. Seeing this Hades collected himself, the (literal, green) fire in his eyes dimming. Enough to cover the entire ship? Thalia told the other Hunters that this was all part of the secret mission she'd told them I was on, which was now officially 'spying on the titans until further notice'. I thought back to the words I'd exchanged with the girl. She said as she move closer to me. Do you not remember our previous conversation? I ran towards the entrance to the hallway, intending to run to the back door, but one of the empousai threw some of her flame-hair at the ground in front of me. I dont suppose that might be one of your children? "Hey, now," Luke said, putting a hand on Annabeth's arm. "You and Grover are the only people who know about us. She finally stopped struggling. The goal- Whoever blinks first loses. "It's not your destiny to destroy Olympus.". We would be digested in the primordial darkness of Erebus. I barely got away, and I was bleeding really bad. I caught him smiling to himself, and I figured that was the answer hed expected, or at least hoped for. That is, until Percy was assaulted by a clownfish." Percy Jackson was no idiot, and it was obvious that he wasn't like the others. "What's wrong?" He was terrified, and worried, and so, so tired, but he wasn't angry. Chiron yelled and everyone in the camp looked at me in shocked, "Pfft Chiron you it all wrong this guy here is not a son of Poseidon." As if I didn't matter. Thalia said. 11. I know what youre doing. I took a step forward. A stain will fall on your name and your bloodline will be cursed. Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods." I muttered. Thalia Grace stared out over the ruined fields. "Where is he?" I ignored her. After being defeated by them, Thor leads the team towards a friend of him, seeking for help. left kudos on this work! He does not need anything else to happen. Thalia said.

I hesitated for a minute, but groaned and started walking in her direction. Zoe was just starting to wake up when we landed. ", I looked weakly up at Luke. she said. Percy Jackson knew the risks, and followed us anyway. I started walking again. (Disclaimer: Percy Jackson belongs to Uncle Rick, and the memes all belong to their original creators.) COMPLETE (!!) But there are those lucky ones. Imagine that, but with searing heat. "Can you hear me?" What does that mean for us?

"So you're coming back to camp?". Bruce has a few questions about how this random child is his nephew, and why he didn't know of his existence before now. I heard about what you did at Camp Half-Blood. "No. Luke looked out over the cliff he'd survived falling from, once. If you log in you can store your preference and never be asked again. Come with us, now.". My dream self remembered, too- I got flashes, indirect memories of exhaustion and fear and blinding whiteness, all accompanied by a friendly-toned and almost chastising voice. My stomach twisted into a knot. There are plenty of more useful demigods here." It took a beat for her to look away from them and lock eyes with me. I noticed two things about them: one, I'd met enough gods to recognize two on sight. Luke approached and tried to help me up, but I slapped his hand away, and stood myself. You had to make sure the prophecy was yours., I shrugged, and almost smiled. Heck, I wouldnt have food or any basic necessities without this mystery casino card Id happened to keep with me. Luke quickly interrupted, "I know that you think of Camp Half-Blood as your home. I was in no mood to fight skeletons. She met all our eyes in turn, then slowly shook her head. "As you had caught my attention just before, I was able to reach through his path in and pull the both of you here before you were consumed." There was a large table in the center, covered in maps and assorted weapons, with a few demigods dressed similarly to Luke and the girl sitting around it. Then, quick as lightning, she pulled her curved hunting knife and plunged it into the center of it. I held out the Mythomagic figure. You sold me out! I accused. "I can't.". I found you on my own. Shes insanely powerful for her age. "The lights," Nico whispered, as if he could tell exactly what I was trying to do. I took a shaky breathe.

"The people I love always leave me behind. I though she might be Gabby. There was a second's pause before I started to hear static from Thalia again and felt an immense power radiating off of her.

"Please understand, we feel horrible about every half blood lost, but this is a war. The Beginning - Apollo "Oh my gods, you're totally right!" She gasped. She'd delivered that figurine to my brother, and she'd kept me updated on everything I missed while I was hiding out. Luke did. I decided to do the same, drawing my bow and shooting at the man. There was probably nothing to worry about. I grit my teeth. You're nothing but a pawn to them. I didnt need help from anyone. And since you're a child of Hades, and you're aging again, the prophecy could be talking about you. I saw both of them, side by side, their blonde hair and skin washed out with light against a bright white wall. ", Thalia clutched her bow. Fine. I grabbed my weapons off the table, and headed towards the door. Zo started in the direction of the mountain, and we followed. Artemis nodded. Then it smoothed back into a smile. "You want to know why they took him?" I hadn't heard that name in what felt like a lifetime, but in this moment I remembered him in vivid detail, running past me to get inside that metal statue, telling me he had a promise to keep. I looked down at my hand and realized it was soaked in blood from lifting the back of her head. Especially to face the daughter of Hades, in her element, with her father, the all-powerful, all-feared Lord of the Dead, in screaming distance.

Chiron said and gave me a handshake. She's hiding her own bit of darkness that is compatible with his own, if only she can tell him before outside circumstances attempt to rip them apart by the seams. "We have never been nor will we ever be friends," I deadpanned. and I notice as well that everyone at the camp staring at me. "I failed you. I grabbed Thalia by the coat and pulled her back as we heard a loud boom. She disappeared at the end of the quest, right?, She nodded. Annabeth thought for a moment. Before they could all leave, the boy from the future turned and asked a question. Who knows what shell be able to do by the time shes sixteen. One of the other campers continued. "I failed," she took a shaky breath, but no tears fell from her eyes. Ironically, the River of Fire was the only River that was at all safe to drink. "It saves us time.

My face went slack with horror and I turned to Nico, who looked back at me silently with a look I'd never seen on him. Dream-me was frozen. I knew I could count on you. Luke lead her over to one of the larger maps, and my vision faded. "He takes care of you. He actually might still die. The girl and half the monsters lunged for me, and I sighed with relief as the smoldering, toxic air of the room was replaced with cold, clean darkness. Almost like hes Apollos eyes widened.

"I thought she died," Thalia says, clenching her hand in a fist, "If I had-" she shook her head. She was changing form, switching between all of the different animals I'd seen on the walls of her tent. Did I feel safe with my father? "I can't. I didn't have a heart as a dream-specter, but I still felt it start to race. Thalia had joined the hunters the night before her sixteenth birthday, eliminating herself from the running for child of the prophecy, and dumping the blame for the incoming apocalypse on me. "The two of you are children that I love. Kronos Ouranian, the King of the Heavens and the Earth and the Titan of Time, wasn't always the paranoid and cruel madman that is told in the myths. "Well let's go!" This is also the mountain where the titan Atlas holds" her voice caught, her gaze landing on something at the center of the rubble.

You mean so much to me. and they tell me Nicos gone, and I start thinking about the stuff that Luke guy said in my dream, and next thing I know, the valleys being consumed by a skeleton-earthquake and all the lights been sucked out of the sky!
