Prologue
She was standing on a beach, surrounded by an endless ocean. Cold wind wove itself through her hair, making it whip in front of her face as she stared at the vast sea. There was something there, something she wanted more than anything. She began to walk towards the water, stretching out her hand in anticipation. As she reached the shore, she knelt down to brush her fingers against the ocean's waves. But as her fingers neared the surface, the water moved. She reached out again for the water, but it moved as if pushed by an invisible force. She stood up, and walked purposefully towards the sea, but it backed farther and farther away, always just out of reach. And now she was running, sprinting madly across the sand to reach the water. She had to get there, had to find it. She ran harder than she'd ever run before. Just a few more inches—
And then with a roar of sound the water came bursting back at her, knocking the air out of her lungs and spinning her head over heals. She spun around and around, straining to see more than the inky blackness of the ocean. Just when she thought she was going to suffocate under the crushing waves, she saw something white shining in the distance. It was moving closer and closer at top speed, right towards her. She braced herself for the impact, but instead found that she could breath again. Gasping for air, she saw that her head had been encased in a shining bubble. As she watched, the shimmering walls flickered, and she saw the image of a school shining before her. The sign in front said Waterbury High, 1877. Then a cold, whispering voice spoke in her ear. "The Child of Poseidon, it said. "The Child of Poseidon." Then the world went dark, and Annabeth woke with a gasp.
Eh? Eh? Come on, you know you liked it :)
New chapter will be posted as soon as I figure out exactly how to get where I'm going.
That is all. Until next time!
