Prologue

Leo has fallen in love with a voice. The voice that constantly echoed and haunted his dreams. It was a beautiful voice, eerie, soft, soothing, and Leo found himself looking forward for every night when he'll be able to hear this voice, singing to him as he dreamed.

But even though he was in love with the voice, he had never seen the source of the voice. It was a girl, definitely, but how did she look like?

Leo constantly wondered about this, and in his opinion, it will forever be a mystery.

Frank was not one to gossip, but when he heard the news about the witch that lives in the forest, he couldn't say that he wasn't interested.

"Her eyes are the color of molten gold," the other soldiers laughed as they downed their cups of beer. "Gold? She must look ridiculous!"

But Frank didn't think so. He found it very intriguing that there are somebody in this world with golden eyes. They must be a really pretty pair of eyes.

And then, when announcements were made that this evil witch must be slain, Frank was determined to go.

People had teased him for his clumsiness and thought that he wasn't a good soldier because of that.

Well, he'll prove to them that he was good soldier.

He'll prove to them by killing the witch with the pretty eyes.

Jason had spent his whole life in this castle, and yet he still manages to find nooks and crannies that led him to places he had never went before.

This was one of the times when he had gone through so many hallways and passageways that he had gotten himself lost.

Glancing at the watch, he realized that he had missed his tutoring lessons. Jason grimaced. Last time he skipped his classes, his father had had a long talk with him about the importance of education and what-not. Honestly, that man was even more boring that his tutors.

As he wandered further down the hall, he heard a distant singing. Continuing to walk, the volume of the voice slowly rose.

It was a beautiful voice, singing a beautiful song. Jason couldn't understand the lyrics but he was still attracted. He was vividly reminded of mermaids who lured sailors into their deadly traps with their beautiful voice.

Following the voice, Jason arrived before a simple wooden door. When he pressed his ear against it, he could almost see the person inside, singing…

He flung the door open, and was met by darkness. The singing had stopped abruptly. Jason found himself in an attic-like place where broken, useless things were stored inside.

And it was void of any living being.

When Percy snared a gigantic, silver tail in his net, he thought that he would finally make some decent money.

The fish was long, and huge, and its silvery gray scales shimmered in the most beautiful way.

He pulled and hauled, trying to get the fish into his dingy little fishing boat. But it thrashed and protested with such force that Percy was almost pulled into the seas.

With one huge haul, Percy managed to get part of its tail into his fishing boat when he saw something floating in the water. It was gold, and it looked almost like… hair.

The last thing he saw of the fish was its furious expression before the tail flopped mightily and it swam away, pulling Percy's torn net with it.

And then, it was gone.
