I hit the bed hard.

Immediately I was found in an underwater palace, full with mermaids and fish, like you would see on Disney channel or something.

I look to my right and see a middle-aged, well tanned man dressed in casual khakis and a Hawaiian shirt. I must be dreaming.

NO, really I must be dreaming.

You see, my father Poseidon and other powerful beings have the ability to talk to me in my dreams. Lately, my father and I have been doing "late night chats".

Apparently it is some bonding experience for him. I actually enjoy this because Poseidon never did this when I was a kid. Anyways, usually my dad and I would talk about regular stuff: Women and Sports.

(For some strange reason Poseidon likes the Dolphins and the Mariners)

I was actually prepared because the Dolphins just lost to the Saints and I was going to rub it in his face.

But this time my father looked upset and restless.

Instinctively, I asked "What's wrong Dad? The Dolphins didn't lose that badly."

Poseidon said slowly, "I have terrible news. Kronos is back!"

"What? Impossible! How could he come back from Tarturus so quickly?" "It's a long story."

I yelled "I'm sleeping! I got like 5 more hours!" Poseidon paused and chuckled. "You got a point there. Okay.

So it all started on Zeus's and Poseidon's birthday. We had a huge party in Olympus. Satyr strippers, all the gods, even a couple of demigods where there. But there was one person who didn't come. Hades.

The gods decided we wouldn't invite Hades even though it was his birthday because he would probably come on a black flaming motorcycle with skull hands or something. We gods know how to party, so we know the worst party is one with a party pooper.

When Hades heard all of this from some demigod snitch, he tried to act cool but he was devastated. I mean it was kind of harsh.

His family won't invite him to his own birthday party?

But anyways he decided that this was war. He quickly sided with Kronos, and together they did a powerful spell destroying Tarturus and releasing every single person or monster. Hades even summoned great warriors from Elysium.

There's only one trick to this powerful once of a life-time spell. Once everyone is summoned; they have to do the caster's bidding.

Once they are killed, they can go back to their eternal rest. The good part is, this takes a really long time.

So now the gods and demigods have to go against Kronos, Hades, and the rest of the old school gods.

The last thing I am depressed about is: Hades put a huge grudge on me because he knew I could convince everyone to let him come.

So since Hades couldn't kill me or you; He decided to go for the one closest to both of us." Poseidon dramatically paused. "He killed your mother, Percy."

I was devastated. I was enraged. I felt like I could kill Hades with my bare hands even though that's not my style. I lost Annabeth, the camp,(See my brother Craigbatter2's story: Percy Jackson and Himself) and now my mother.

"Alright dad," I said, "I think I'll just reflect on this terrible news."

I did an awkward bow and then I woke up. I was now alone in my New York apartment.

No mom, no girlfriend, and no friends. I thought about hanging with Calypso, but I think she is still creeped out by my evil doppelganger using her. I did a weird stretch and sighed.

"Well, time for training."
