3rd Person POV
"NOOOOO!" The battlefield ground to a halt at the sight of Percy dropping into the ground, Annabeth trying in vain to reach him before he disappeared.
All the demigods stared in disbelief, only a few of them snapping out of it to order the Roman eagles to snatch Piper and Jason out of the air. Even the monsters stopping to see that the Son of Poseidon was gone. Annabeth just cried harder.
"NO! NONONONONONONONONO, NOT AGAIN!" she screamed. "WHY DO THE FATES HATE ME?!" She tore at the ground with her sword, as if she could dig the earth back open and pull Percy out. The sky thundered, and a flash of bright light appeared where Percy disappeared, forcing the demigods to shield their eyes to avoid being disintegrated, the monsters not being as lucky. When the light cleared, there stood Poseidon with his trident in all his glory, eyes red with grief and fury.
"WHERE IS HE?" he raged, making everyone but Annabeth cower back in fear. "WHERE IS MY SON?! WHY DID I FEEL HIS PRESENCE DISAPPEAR?!"
"He's gone," Annabeth replied numbly, not caring if Poseidon retaliated for her disrespectful behavior. "The earth swallowed him up." A tear traced it's way down her face, soon joined by more. "I couldn't save him," She was sobbing now, "he was right in front of me, I wasn't fast enough its my fault ohmygodshe'sgoneagain-" Her hysterics were interrupted by another flash of light, forcing the demigods to close their eyes again. When they opened them, the Fates stood in front of them. Poseidon was (understandably) pissed at them.
"YOU-" He was cut off by one of the Fates holding up a uncut string. To everyone's surprise and joy, it was a sea-green string.
"That's Percy's string," Annabeth breathed, not daring to believe it. "He's still alive." Her gaze grew murderous. "Then wHERE IS HE?!" she roared at the Fates, surprising many of the demigods with her ferocity. "IF ITS ANYTHING LIKE WHAT HERA DID I'LL-"
"Perseus is alive and well, with all his memories intact." The Fate holding up Percy's string replied. "But he is not in this world."
"What do mean, not in this world," Hazel hissed, storming up next to Annabeth, cavalry sword in her tight grip. "I'm not as good at sensing people like Nico is, but I'm pretty sure he's still here."
"No, they're right." Nico walked up to them, Stygian sword dangling from his belt. "He's still alive, but his spirit feels like it's being blocked by something." He shrugged. "I'm guessing its being blocked by a dimensional barrier."
"The son of Hades is correct. Young Perseus was sent to another world, one very unlike ours," A misty mirror appeared in front of them, a picture of a strange stone with weird markings flickering to life in it. "He was sent there to fulfill a prophecy."
"Why him?" Poseidon growled. "My son has been the subject of too many prophecies!"
"Only one of your human sons can fulfill it," they interjected. "Besides, the time barrier between that dimension and this one will make it seem like he's only been gone for a week."
"But what about Percy?" Everyone turned around to see Frank, solemn in his praetor cloak. "How long will it take for him?"
"... For him it will take several years."
A/N: Lol, no Percy POV this chapter! I know some people will think I'm stalling, but really I wanted to write their reactions. Comments are welcome (no flames please), and thank you for clicking on this book!
