Prologue
Would it be better if I just disappeared?
What if it stops the monsters from coming?
Will she- they be safe if I do so?
Only one way to find out.
I slipped the letter under the Athena cabin in the middle of the night. The envelope has bold writing on it: Annabeth Chase.
I sighed, pulling my cloak over my head, trying to wipe the tears away. It's for the better, a part of me reminded myself, you'll still watch over the camp to be sure they're safe. The other part of him disagreed, what if it's the wrong decision? I shook my head slightly, taking my leave.
A few hours later, when it was about morning, I saw her. Annabeth crept out, seeing the letter and opened it. Once she started reading, her eyes grew wide. She covered her mouth with her hand, you could see she was trying to hold back tears.
You didn't want to see her like this...but it's for the best, right? I look away, shedding a few tears of my own.
That was about...what? Two years ago? That was the start of this whole 'spying thing'. Though I wouldn't exactly call it spying? It's complicated. But I should really stop doing these little...self thoughts? Why? Because I am literally on the Virge of falling off this ship called the..What was it? Oh, that's right, The Argo II.
