Chapter 2
Percy could hear his head buzzing with thoughts. What had happened? Why was it so dark? Was Annabeth OK? These thoughts flew through Percy's head as he lay on the cold, rocky floor.
It was another minute that Percy could find the energy to stand up and open his eyes. As he got up he realized that the gloom and darkness was not only because of the scale but because they were in a dark, cave-like place.
"Annabeth!" Percy called, the worry evident in his voice as the sounds echoed all around him.
"Annabeth…beth...eth…th"
When no reply came Percy sat down worried, tired and alone. As Percy pondered what to do next a voice startled him out of his thoughts.
"They're not dead, you know" said a voice which Percy recognized as Apollo "They're just… elsewhere"
"What do you mean "elsewhere"? That can't be true we were right next to them when it happened" Percy argued but it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself rather Apollo.
"Look Percy even I, the most awesome god ever, don't know how the fates work but I do know we were destined to arrive here" Apollo said "And we are also destined to re-join our friends, so don't give up let's go and look around"
"Oh, alright" Percy sighed getting up though in his heart he still wasn't sure that he would ever see Annabeth or Nico or Thalia or any of his other friends again. Percy un-capped his USB and instantly light shone through his surroundings making him feel braver and stronger.
"Good, some light at last" Apollo said contentedly
Percy could see that they were in a huge cave so big he couldn't see either end of it. Walking towards the end where the cave roof dipped downwards, hoping to find a safe place to rest and recover. As he walked with Apollo a thought struck him: "Can't you just get us out of here heal me?"
"Well I could get us out of here but that would be defying the fates and I cannot do that without us returning here in some way" Apollo replied thoughtfully "So you may as well just keep going and find a place to rest and heal. How about that way" he said lobbing a ball of fire towards a wall of the cave where it burned on the cliff giving out a warm light across most of the cave.
When Percy reached the wall of the cave he saw a strange pure white stone like an enormous pearl when he touched it he felt a strange tingling feeling go through his body but only for a millisecond before it went away. Percy dismissed it as nothing more than his imagination and went over to the cave wall where he found Apollo had hollowed out two rooms each with labels: Percy and Apollo, the awesome god of music, art and all things cool.
Percy went into his room and he saw that it was state of the art with a Jacuzzi, a huge four-poster bed, a 72 inch 3D TV and a monster proof door.
"Ah, you like it then! The door is a Hephaestus Firemaster500. It costs 30,000 drachmas plus 500 for instant shipping" Apollo said seemingly unaware of Percy's jaw, which seemed to be trying to break itself.
"Well now I'll leave you to sleep" he said as he left the room.
Percy flopped down and within seconds sleep overwhelmed him.
~Hello I am Line break 1.4.0~
As he slept Percy dreamt.
He could see an enormous purple lizard with huge bat-like wings, a dragon he realized. It flew in complex patterns, weaving in and out of the clouds around it. Suddenly another dragon, this one blazing orange flew into his sight. It too spun in complex patterns, diving and ducking in perfect harmony with the first. Then Percy spun around and he saw three more dragons; a blue a black and a white one, these too in perfect harmony. All of the dragons came to a halt in a form of a circle around Percy.
It is time the white one said-wait no, thought!
Yes it is ready, Galerandir the blue dragon answered.
Then all of the dragons turned to Percy and opened their mouths and streams of inferno rolled towards him.
It is done he heard and the dream faded.
He was in central park by Hyperion's tree and he was running… from a cookie? The cookie leapt on him and turned into Annabeth who said:
"Cover your left side seaweed brain, you are so predictable"
The dream faded and he saw a city.
The city seemed to have been carved into a mountain range with tunnels and viaducts. As he moved closer he saw steam-powered minecarts carrying dwarves across bridges and into the mountains. Percy walked into a mountain tunnel and heard voices.
"Get your Myrthian steel armor here! We'll beat any other prices!"
"A whole rack of lamb, only 20 gold coins!"
"Harga has the best mamountain meat in history! Only 40 gold pieces a rib!"
Percy arrived in an enormous cavern which, he realized was a market. Suddenly Percy was jerked upwards as though some rough angel had grabbed him and was flying away with him. As he reached the roof of the cave he saw two red eyes. A hissing sound assailed Percy and he jerked awake.
QUIZ TIME: What is the god that medusa went out with
Percy sat up and got dressed quickly. Percy uncapped Riptide and went down to the battle arena that Apollo had made. At the gate of the arena there was a dial which had label saying: difficulty control. Percy went over to the dial and turned it up past hard, past extreme and even impossible and laid it to rest on "Hercules" The gates opened and Percy walked in.
Hissssssss…
An 8-foot automaton strode into the arena with a greatsword as tall itself. It twirled the sword round and round. Suddenly it leapt forwards and brought its sword down with amazing speed. Percy rolled out of the way but found that it had just swung its sword round at him. Percy thrust his sword down onto the automaton's sword.
Hissssssss…
"Stop" Percy yelled and almost instantly the automaton froze "I heard that in my dream"
Percy walked out of the arena and back into the main cave.
Hissssssss…
Something small landed on Percy's head and grabbed on with something sharp, claws he realized. If it wasn't for his Achilles curse Percy was sure he would have had puncture marks all over his head as whatever it was, it was incredibly strong.
Leaping into action Percy uncapped Riptide and swung it at where its claws were. However the creature was very fast and leapt off Percy's head and landed on the ground behind him.
Spinning round, Percy saw it clearly for the first time. It was small, about 4 feet tall and was covered in emerald green scales. Its eyes were scarlet just like the ones in his dream.
"The goblins will rise" it said in a strange raspy voice.
Without warning the goblin grabbed a huge rock that must have been at least 2 feet long and with impossible ease it threw it at Percy's face where it shattered instantly, much to the surprise of the goblin.
The goblin hurled itself at Percy and grasped his face. Acting quickly the goblin started to claw at Percy's eyes. After a few seconds the goblin went limp and fell off Percy's face onto the ground.
Hello, Perseus
