A/N I don't own!
It started with an icy breeze. The sky turned an electric purple. There was a feeling somebody was there, watching. But obviously, as the Seaweed Brain he was, he didn't notice. He has one thing on his mind, and he was determined to get it… Annabeth. It wasn't until he heard a faint lulling sound of song. He turned his head. In front of him stood a thing. As a life as a demigod, he was expected to expect the unexpected. But there was a black floating thing. It had a white circle and a black dot in the middle. The thing some how looked like a "P." He blinked. Next thing he knew, there were thousands of them, floating and circling around him in all different shapes and sizes, letters from all of the alphabet, numbers, symbols, and more. Their song brew louder, and he was lulled into a deep, dark, peaceful sleep.
At that same moment, Thalia Grace, daughter of the all-mighty and powerful Zeus was hunting in the woods. With only a bow and arrow, a fifteen-year-old girl hunting was a sight to see. The fresh smell of pine and nothing but the open air made Thalia feel free, as if nothing was lingering on her shoulder, no regrets, no whishes, no problems, just her, the open air, and the wilderness surrounding her. As she went along her daily hunt, a faint buzzing sound started to buzz. No one else could hear it, but due to her keen hunter sense, she was able to faintly hear the rhythmic buzz. The buzzes grew louder, but still just faint enough for only her to hear. It grew, and grew, louder and louder into a song. One Thalia had never heard before. As if a song made by an angel, it was peaceful and beautiful. It was almost like a drug for Thalia, the song kept her wanting more. Never once did she ask where it came from. Whether she wanted it or not, the answer soon became clear to her. Floating in front of her were thousands of black symbols, just like the ones Percy encountered. Just like Percy, the song and the floating things lulled Thalia into a never-ending sleep.
Rachel Elizabeth Dare, one of the many powerful kids in this nation. At 1:00 pm, Rachel was still stuck in boring old history, learning about who knows what. But as her 100-year-old teacher was talking about something like the Albany Plan of Union, a tugging sensation struck her. It felt like something she never felt before. Something was wrong, and she was going to find out.
"Mr. McClain?"
"Yes Ms. Dare?" he said, looking up from the SMART Board.
"I'm not feeling so well, may I go to the nurse?" she asked, while fake-holding her stomach.
"Sure, sure go right ahead," he started, as she ran out the door, "Don't forget a pass," but she was already long gone.
A younger boy, not any older than 15, shuffled out of McDonalds. The air was cold, as the boy exhaled; he could see his own breath. He muttered to his way down the streets with Happy Meals in he hands, "Why couldn't it be somewhere like Florida? Why New York? Why be so cold?" He knew it wouldn't work. It didn't work in awhile, but he still felt lonely. Yeah, he had awesome cousins like Percy and Thalia, but nothing could ever replace Bianca. She was all he had to remind him of the easy times when everything wasn't complicated. She told him not to try and summon her again, but he had to. She was his sister after all.
He turned into a deserted alley. Building a fire, he burned the Happy Meals, chanting Ancient Greek summoning words. A magic al force acted upon him, as the world felt like it was turning. The sky grew neon purple and a song began to play.
What? Nico thought. This isn't what's supposed to happen. Where the ghosts and spirits? More importantly, where's Bianca?
Black things began to float and circle around him.
I must be imagining things.
And just as the other two people, he was lulled into the darkness.
