Alright well guess what? I got a little anxious so I'm uploading this teaser. Don't worry this is not the whole chapter. It's less than a third of what the whole chapter will look like. So as always, I totally love you guys and Happy Reading ( :

IV

Nico

But as I said before, anything can happen. Right before my eyes, Iapetus disintegrated. But when I looked closer I saw the disintegrated ashes of the former Titan, his essence, being absorbed into my dagger. This day keeps getting weirder and weirder, and I should know, I'm the son of Hades. And of course it got weirder.

When the dagger melted into my skin, I felt a surge of power. Then my head started spinning and my blood started to boil. After a few minutes of agony it went away. When I finally regained my senses, I noticed the whole crew was staring at me (including Alex). Feeling embarrassed and exhausted, I went down to my room and took a nap.

When I awoke Alex was hovering over me. "My gods Alex, I'm in my underwear for Hephaestus' sake!"

"You know, before I became a goddess and began my slumber of a hundred years, I was only 17. The gods told me 'you are needed in a different era, this is the only way that you will be ready, you must be in your prime.' So they immortalized me for this one quest and when it is done I will be restored to mortality. I don't deserve immortality, I'm not a hero. But you Nico, are a true hero. When you defeated that Titan, I just stood there surprised and afraid. Then you started to glow a godly gold, brighter than even Zeus himself." She stopped talking when the sky above the ship thundered in anger. Then she did something I would've never predicted. This beautiful goddess leaned towards me and kissed me on the cheek.

Before had a chance to say anything, she left my room. Okay well that's a nice way to wake up.

On my way to dinner, I past by all the other rooms and caught Hazel on her way out. "You wanna come to dinner with me, Hazel?"

"Sure, I was just on my way up," she said. After a few minutes of silently striding down through the ship she finally spoke, "I've been wondering, how was it like to be in… in that jar."

"Cramped, near-death, and alone. I didn't get any Iris messages, special dreams, or even a single hint of the outside world. I had to keep myself in a trance, inches from death, waking only to eat a deathly seed of an enchanted fruit. And when the lid finally opened I thought, 'is this real, am I really being saved or is this another hallucination?' You see, every second of everyday for 5 days I dreamt of being rescued. And every time I had to go along with it because if not, I knew I would lose hope and die."

And oh yeah I almost forgot, write me some reviews. Also some good news: over 300 views on the first night woo-hoo! And by this time tomorrow you'll have the full chapter for your enjoyment. Love you and see you then.
