In Annabeth's dream, she saw Nico and Hazel sitting on the deck of the Argo II.
"Nico, can you sense if they are still alive?" Hazel asked.
"They are still alive." Nico said, "I can feel it. I know that they are in danger though. That hole led strait to Tartarus. It's a scary place, Hazel. I…" he looked miserable. Then, he stiffened. "She's here!"
"Who?" Hazel said, Surprised.
"Annabeth! I can sense her presence!"
Ananbeth was shocked. She tried speaking, "Nico, can you hear me?"
"She just spoke to me!"
"Oh my gods! Ask her if she's hurt! Is Percy ok?" Hazel said.
"This is amazing. Usually I can't speak in my dreams. And Hazel, I can hear and see you both. My ankle is still pretty bad, but the ambrosia made it a little better. Percy is fine, he's just taking first watch."
"She said she can hear and see you too. Her ankle is still pretty bad, but other than that she's fine. Percy is taking first watch while she sleeps." Nico said.
"Have they run into any monsters yet?" Hazel asked.
"After we got to the bottom the Minitor attacked us. I still don't have my knife. Hopefully it's down here somewhere."
"She said the Minitor attacked them and that she still doesn't have her knife," Nico told Hazel. "Annabeth, do you know where you are?"
"We're... Near a boulder."
"Ok thanks that's so helpful." Nico said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, but I have no idea how to tell where we are."
"What's going on?" Hazel asked.
"They don't know where they are."
"Are you close to where you fell?" Hazel asked.
"I don't know, we ran for like, a half hour after we caught the Minitor with the spider webs." Annabeth said.
"She said that they ran after they caught the Minitor in Arachne's spider webs." Nico told Hazel. "You haven't seen Arachne yet?"
"I didn't think of that. We probably landed near her. Hopefully we don't meet her." Annabeth said.
"What did she say?" Hazel said.
"That they haven't seen Arachne yet."
"Annabeth please try to be safe. Save your ambrosia unless it's an emergency. You and Percy will make it back," Hazel said.
"Thanks Hazel! We will try our hardest to save the ambrosia, and I believe that we will make it out." She said.
"She said thanks and that she believes that they will find a way out." Nico said. "Oh and Annabeth, one more thing-"
But then Percy woke her up. "Annabeth! Arachne! Help!"
She jumped up. "What? How did she get here?"
"You will die foolish girl!" Arachne screamed. She was still in the giant Chinese spidercuffs, rolling around. Stuck to it with more webs was… her knife and backpack! She had to get it without Arachne noticing. She looked over at Percy and wanted to tell him to distract her, but she was smarter than the Minitor. She would know that she would try something. Arachne started rolling toward Annabeth. She easily dodged her. "Percy!"
"What?"
She nodded toward Arachne. Thank the gods she couldn't see them. Percy nodded like he understood and charged. He impaled his sword into Arachne's head just as she turned around. She screamed in pain. Annabeth ran behind her and got her knife and backpack. She stabbed Arachne and yelled for Percy. They ran.
"I will kill you both! Your souls will both go to the deepest depths of Tartarus!" Arachne screamed in agony.
"Already there" Percy muttered.
They saw things too horrible to describe as they ran. When they finally found a place where nothing would attack them, they collapsed.
"I spoke to Nico and Hazel in my dream!" Annabeth said, breathing hard.
"What? How! We can't speak in our dreams."
"I don't know! But he could sense me there. Hazel couldn't hear or sense me. I guess she doesn't have that ability. Nico had to tell her everything I said."
"Well, that's amazing! What happened?"
She told him what happened.
"Do you have any extra ambrosia or nectar in your bag?"
She opened it. "I have 2 bags and a canteen of nectar. I also have Daedleus' laptop and a little colorful string. I don't know how we will use those two." She checked if the laptop was broken. Surprisingly, it was fine. Percy started to play with some string.
Something had caught her eye. It was a folder that said "Tartarus". Out of curiosity, Annabeth clicked on it. It was a document titled: "Navigating Tartarus".
"He's been here! Daedleus has been to Tartarus!"
