This is a very short prologue for a story I have started writing. I'm not sure how I feel about it so I thought I'd post this to get some feedback while I'm developing the idea more. This story takes place after the heroes of Olympus series, and the Trials of Apollo didn't happen. I have no clue how old the characters are supposed to be so I just made them around the same age as Percy. Miranda is 17, Connor is 18, and Travis is 20. If I like how the rest of the story turns out I will post it here.

"Hello! Hello!" a teenage girl screamed into the darkness. She was frantically searching, praying to the gods that she would see something other than the suffocating darkness that surrounded her. Unfortunately she saw nothing.

"Please can anyone hear me!" she yelled again.

"Miranda? Is that you? Where are you?" Yelled back a masculine voice, that sounded so familiar but she could not place it.

"YES! Oh gods yes its me! Who is there?"

Miranda continued to franticly search the darkness but she still saw no one. She sunk to the ground in dispar and tears started to make their way down her cheeks.

"Ca...Can… Can anyone hear me?" she sobbed

Connor Stoll jolted awake. His head shot up and hit the top of the bed above him.

"Damn it!" he exclaimed in surprise. He groggily rubbed his eyes still in a sleepy haze.

"What the hell man!" His half-brother Cecil exclaimed. "I was trying to sleep!"

Cecil took his sleep very seriously. Connor had been convinced that he was a son of hypnos before he had been claimed. Connor shook his head. What had he been dreaming about? He couldn't remember it very well but it felt like it was important. Then it hit him.

"I think Miranda is in trouble!"
