Chapter Two

~Reyna's POV~

We all froze at Amelia's question.

Leo was the first to say something. "What? We weren't talking about Percy?"

Amelia crossed her arms. "Then, who were you talking about?" She asked, as the dining pavilion went silent.

Clarisse stood. "Amelia, we don't know all the details. We didn't want to give you false hope."

I stood up. "Clarisse is right. Amelia, we don't know that much on the subject. All we know is there's a chance that Percy's coming back, but that's it."

Chiron galloped over. "What do mean Percy is coming back?"

Whispers broke out through the dining pavilion.

Luke stood up, and silence ensured. "We could try to communicate with Michaela..." He trailed off, uncertain.

"How? If Michaela wanted to help, she would have of come back before this." Kinzie said, bitterness laced in her voice.

Nico banged his hand on the table, making many jump. "There's a reason she left, remember? When she said she was leaving, she looked better than when she had found out Percy had died." He stared at Kinzie until she sneered, but backed down and went silent.

The whole dining pavilion went silent again, waiting for answers that we could not give.

"I have a connection to Michaela." Nico looked at Luke. "Okay, what I meant was I have a different connection to Michaela than everyone else." Luke finished, looking proud.

"Are you sure you can?" Annabeth asked Luke.

He looked offended. "If we're going off of certainty, then how can we be sure that we can bring Percy back."

No one said anything. "Exactly, I can at least try." Luke finished.

The statement was met with silence. So, Luke began.
