3. Chapter 3

Hello everyone, been a while since I last updated. I apologize for the unfinished stories I have and the lack of updates.

Here's a chapter for ya, hope you enjoy and feel free to review!

Tyler POV

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I realized was I was sweating, bad, like I just had a horrible dream. I sat up and threw the covers off before stretching, effectively popping my back before heading into the bathroom.

"Out of all the dreams I've had," I muttered picking up my toothbrush and the toothpaste. "That one felt so real. But that's impossible to kidnap Percy. He's Percy Jackson, the son of Chaos, Bane of the Titans and the Hero of Olympus." I laughed at the thought of someone trying to kidnap the son of Chaos.

When I finished up in the bathroom and changing into a pair of jeans and a camp Half-Blood t-shirt, I looked around the cabin. Everything was normal, but Percy's bed was fixed, like actually fixed. "Percy doesn't fix his bed," I said confused. "Unless Zoë stays here or if Tyson fixed it. But we would know if Tyson was here. Maybe he and Zoë are at the beach again like they were a few days ago."

Deciding that Percy was at the beach with Zoë, I grabbed Shadowslayer and headed out the door, but I couldn't shake the feeling something bad happened to Percy, and the dream I had wasn't really a dream.

When I reached the dining pavilion, I saw it was lunch. "I slept through breakfast," I said shocked. "Why didn't anyone bother to come wake me?" When I walked into the dining pavilion, Zoë noticed me from Artemis's table and stood up and walked towards me.

"We need to talk," she said grabbing me by the arm and walking out of the dining pavilion.

"Can it wait," I said trying to pry her iron grip off but to no avail. "I'm really hungry." She turned towards me and I saw a look that she had in the 2nd Titan War, the same look she had when Percy was being controlled by Kronos. Immediately, I knew something was wrong. "Alright," I said nodding my head. "We'll talk, but can you let go of my arm?" She released my arm, thankfully and walked to Artemis's cabin.

I followed her, confused as to why she wanted to talk and slightly worried about what I'll hear. When she reached the cabin, she opened the door and stepped in, gesturing for me to follow. I've only been in Artemis's cabin once, and that was to Percy's "supposed betrayal".

When I stepped inside, I didn't expect to see Jennifer, or Thalia, or Annabeth, or the demi-Titans. "Jennifer, Thalia," I said surprised. "Shouldn't you be with Artemis hunting Orion?" I looked at Annabeth. "And I thought you were designing on Olympus?"

"I was," she said. "Till Zeus ordered all demigods to head back to camp."

"Me and Jennifer should be with Lady Artemis hunting Orion down Tyler," Thalia said. "But the only problem is Lady Artemis isn't here." I stared at her surprised. Please don't tell me Artemis has been captured again. I thought pleadingly as she continued. "Ever since what happened in Florida, all the gods were called back to Olympus, Lady Artemis included."

Jennifer spoke. "Usually Hermes would stop by, sending a message and Apollo would stop by, just to flirt and be annoying. But neither of them visited, not even a sign. When we woke up, Lady Artemis was gone, but that's not the reason we're here." She looked at me. "Where's Percy?"

"He's probably doing something for the gods," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He'll be back soon." The demi-Titans shook their heads.

"Percy wouldn't just disappear," Crystal said. "When we were together, if he had to leave suddenly, he'd tell me why he had to leave."

"Same when we all served in Lord Aether's army," David said. "If Percy had to do something, he'd tell us."

"He would've left a note," Annabeth said. "Even if it was an emergency and the gods needed him immediately, he would've told someone where he was going. Argus, Chiron, one of us," she gestured around to everyone in the room.

"Something happened," Zoë murmured. We all looked at her. "Something bad. I have this feeling, like something bad happened." My thoughts immediately went to back to the dream I had. Was that dream actually real? I thought. Did Chaos really help that mysterious god kidnap Percy? But surely Percy would've blasted that god into oblivion and return, right?

Jennifer noticed my worried expression. "Tyler," I looked at her. "Do you know something about Percy's disappearance?" Everyone looked at me. I shook my head.

"Tyler," Annabeth said suspiciously. "You're lying. I know you are."

"No I'm not!" I protested. "I don't see why everyone's so worried. This is Percy we're talking about. The most powerful being on earth. Nothing, divine or not, is able to over power him. He'll be back." Before anyone could speak, I turned around and walked toward the door.

I had to be sure. I was going to check the entire Poseidon cabin. From top to bottom. I know I hit that goddess, whoever she was. Once I found golden ichor somewhere, I'll have to head to Olympus and confront the Olympians.

Three days later

Tyler POV

Three days.

It's been three days since Percy disappeared.

Three days later, Artemis sent the Hunters to search for Percy. The Hunters left immediately, determined to find the man who saved their patron and numerous other Hunters.

For three days, Chiron sent search parties out to find Percy, led by the demi-Titans, me, and Zoë.

For three days, Olympus has been silent ever since Percy's disappearance.

I yelled in frustration, gripping my hair before falling back onto my bed. "Where are you Percy?" I muttered, staring up at the ceiling. "And why won't you guide me Chaos? I'm trying to find my brother more than anything. At least give me a sign. Anything." A glint near Percy's bed caught my attention.

Curious, I sat up and looked for the glint, but it wasn't there anymore. Thinking it was just a glint from the suns rays, I laid back down, draping a arm over my eyes before I bolted upright.

I looked around the cabin. There was hardly any light shining in. The windows around Percy's bed were shut, enveloping half of the Poseidon cabin in total darkness. I had my window shut, but still had light shining through. "So where did the glint come from?" I stood up from my bed and completely closed the windows, enveloping the entire cabin in darkness.

For a while, nothing happened. I sighed and got ready to open the window till I saw the glint again, this time, I noticed it was near Percy's bed. This must be my clue. I quickly made my way to Percy's bed. I looked around, constantly checking the spots where the sun rays usually hit till I saw the glint again.

I walked towards the spot I saw the glint and found myself directly in front of Percy's bed. I looked down at the bed, feeling a sense of dèjà vu. I don't know why, but I stood there for who knows how long, trying to remember why the position I was in felt so familiar.

It hit me like a truck.

This was the same spot the mysterious goddess was standing in, looking down at Percy. I replayed the memory in my mind, this time, pretending I was the goddess. I created another me out of water and put Shadowslayer in its hand. I turned back around, thinking of the white light surrounding me. The water me lunged forward, swinging Shadowslayer, just like I did in a desperate attempt to hit the goddess.

I slowed down the swing, watching Shadowslayer near me. The attack wasn't close enough to wound the goddess, sadly. My hopes sank, disrupting my attention on the water me. Shadowslayer came at me like a whirlwind. My eyes widened.

Before I could do anything, Shadowslayer slashed across my cheek. I made the water me disperse, the water dropping down to the floor. I grabbed Shadowslayer, mentally scolding myself for losing my concentration. I turned back around and froze.

No way. I slowly knelt down next to Percy's bed, my eyes glued on my newest discovery.

In a puddle, beside Percy's bed, was golden ichor. Blood of the gods.

"It wasn't a dream," I said using Shadowslayer to pick up the golden ichor. "I have to tell Zoë."

Linebreak

I bolted to the Big House, knowing that's where everyone was. I was careful with the golden ichor on Shadowslayer. I didn't want to spill it.

I burst through the doors of the Big House, unaware of everyone having a war meeting.

"Seaweed Brain," Annabeth said surprised. "What brings you here?" I ignored her and looked for Zoë, thankfully, she was here. Sitting next to Thalia and Jennifer.

"Zoë, I know what happened to Percy."

"Where is he?" Her obsidian eyes were pleading. "Please Tyler, tell me where he is."

I tossed Shadowslayer on the table. "Uh Tyler," Connor said. "What does Shadowslayer have to do with Percy's disappearance?"

I grabbed Shadowslayer and pointed at the golden ichor. Everyone's eyes widened. "Tyler," Chiron said, his eyes still trained on the golden ichor. "Did you-"

"No," I said. "I didn't kill any of the gods." Everyone visibly relaxed. "I found this, right beside Percy's bed." Everyone frowned.

"Why would there be golden ichor beside Percy's bed?" Annabeth mused.

"I haven't been completely honest with you," I said running my hand through my hair. "Do you remember when you said I was lying?" Annabeth nodded. "Well," I started to shift uncomfortably. I know Zoë's going to be mad at me for not telling her this. "I was lying." Her eyes widened.

I looked at Zoë. "Do you remember when me and Percy got back from Florida?" She nodded. "Well, after I told you about what happened, I headed back to the Poseidon cabin. On the way there, I had the feeling someone was watching me." I proceeded to tell them about my dream, my encounter with the mysterious goddess Juno, and my talk with primordials.

Zoë slammed her hands on the table. "Three days later, you decide to tell us this," she said. "Why are you deciding to tell us now?" I wasn't going to get mad at Zoë, she's just worried like everyone else. I'd act the same way if someone kept this a secret from me.

"I wasn't sure what it was Zoë," I admitted. "I've had those dreams that are dreams within a dream. That's what I thought this was."

"If it concerns primordials, then the dream is probably a warning."

"Zoë," Zoë turned to Chiron. "Tyler had no idea what he experienced. He wasn't sure if it was a dream or if it was actually real. But for him to tell us gives us a clue as to where Percy is."

I looked at Shadowslayer. Percy said you were a special blade. He said you'd be my light in the darkest places. But there's a reason, a reason Percy passed you down to me. But why? I was brought out of my thoughts by Kyle.

"Tyler," I looked up and saw everyone looking at Kyle. "Has Percy ever told you about Shadowslayer?"

"He told me Shadowslayer was special," I said. "But there's more to it, isn't there?" Kyle nodded.

"Shadowslayer's creator is unknown," he said. "Percy was the only person in the universe who could use Shadowslayer for good."

"What?" I looked at him confused. "What do you mean Percy's the only one?"

"Shadowslayer was created by a sorcerer," this time, it was his twin, David that spoke. "And sorcerers in the universe are very powerful, but this sorcerer had a ancient aura. An old one. She told Percy about his future, and the death and violence that follows."

"But what's so important about Shadowslayer?" I was starting to get aggravated. They weren't getting to the point. Before I could speak, someone else did.

"Shadowslayer's different than any other blade," everyone looked at Annabeth, who was staring at me. "Even Riptide."

"Precisely," Cameron said nodding his head before turning to me. "Shadowslayer is the most powerful blade that was ever created outside of the gods' realm."

"What do you mean?" Katie asked.

"Shadowslayer was created by mortals Katie," Annabeth said. "And not by gods. Or primordials, in this case." The demi-Titans nodded.

"When the sorcerer told Percy of his inevitable future, Percy did everything in his power to stop it, resulting in the wars," Alexander said. "Look at the blade Tyler," I looked at him confused.

"What?"

"Look at the blade and tell me, does the metal look like anything you've ever seen before." I looked at Shadowslayer. The golden ichor was still, surprisingly fresh, dripping from the tip of the blade to the table. The blade was very similar to Strider, Percy's sword he uses for speed and quick hits. But unlike Strider, Shadowslayer had a slight glow to it.

"It's glowing," I said. The demi-Titans smiled. "Why is it glowing?"

"Shadowslayer is very similar to the myth Excalibur," Kyle said. "Both are magical, both have a person destined to wield them, and both were created by sorcerers. Powerful ones. But the reason you were given this sword is because you are the only one in the entire universe who can wield Shadowslayer without being corrupted by its power." Everyone looked at me shocked.

"But what power?" I asked. "Unlike Percy's enchanted weapons, Shadowslayer doesn't slow time down or direct fire. It doesn't have any kind of power." The demi-Titans exchanged glances.

"Shadowslayer has the most powerful thing ever Tyler," Derek leaned towards me. "It has the power to kill gods." Silence. Everyone looked at Shadowslayer shocked. Chiron looked at the blade like it was his worst nightmare.

Before anyone could speak, Derek spoke again. "Every monster you've slain Tyler, has died. Every Titan you've defeated: Phoebe, Mnemosyne, they aren't coming back. They didn't go to Tartarus, they faded. And when an immortal fades, there's no coming back from that." It hit me like a truck.

"That's why Percy gave me Shadowslayer," everyone looked at me confused, but the demi-Titans nodded. "Isn't it?"

"Tyler," Chiron said confused. "What are you talking about." I looked at him and everyone else.

"Percy never explained why he gave me Shadowslayer," I said. "But now that I know this, Percy didn't just give me Shadowslayer. He had too."

"Percy was the only one able to wield Shadowslayer without being killed or severely injured," Kyle said. "And due to its ability to kill even gods, many people wanted the blade for their own reasons-"

"But they'd have to go through Percy," I finished. Kyle nodded.

Alexander continued. "But when the gods killed Crystal, Percy wanted his revenge. And he wanted to erase the Olympians from existence, permanently. And he had the only weapon in the universe that could do it."

"Shadowslayer has a mind of its own," David said. "Not like it can talk to you or anything, but it can sense your anger, and what your desires are with the weapon."

"And what are my desires?" I asked. Percy told me Shadowslayer was special, but I didn't know it was this special.

"No one knows," Alexander said. "Only the sword. But Percy said he realized his desire to kill the gods after he could no longer wield Shadowslayer. So I assume its after you try to use Shadowslayer for a bad reason."

For a while, no one said anything, only look at me, then at Shadowslayer. Everyone was worried, but I didn't blame anyone for being worried. I currently wield the only sword in the universe that can erase the gods from existence. Suddenly, an idea came to me. "If I were to wound a god," I say. "With Shadowslayer, how would that work? Would the wound heal with simple ambrosia and nectar or is something else required?"

"For an immortal, they would have to actually fix the wound," David said. "If an immortal is to actually survive a fatal strike from Shadowslayer, the wound would have to be fixed like a regular mortal wound. Same with scars and such." I stood up and started to head to the door.

"And just where do you think you're going, Seaweed Brain?"

"Olympus," I replied back. I need to speak with the gods." Annabeth grabbed my arm, holding me in place.

"Tyler, no one's allowed in Olympus," she said.

"I know Annabeth," I say. "But I have an idea as to who kidnapped Percy, but I have to see the gods."

"Tyler," I looked at Chiron. "Olympus has been silent, not accepting our offerings. Something is stirring, something powerful."

"And that's why I need to see the gods," I say. "Or more precisely, the Olympians. The goddess that kidnapped Percy said she was a Olympian, I need to find a goddess with a cut on her cheek. Once I do, then we'll find Percy."

"And if there is something powerful stirring," Jennifer said. "Percy's the only one that'll be able to stop it. Let him go Chiron." Chiron didn't seem to budge till everyone started to pressure him, even Annabeth.

"Fine," Chiron's tail swung back and forth nervously. "But be careful Tyler," I nodded. "Use extreme caution, and avoid getting caught. While the gods respect you and your brother, that does not mean they like you. If you are caught, I don't think the gods will hesitate to punish you since your brother's whereabouts are unknown." I nodded again.

Chiron concluded the war meeting was over, so everyone headed their separate ways. "Find out whose responsible for Percy's kidnapping," Jennifer said stopping beside me outside the Big House.

"I will," I say. "I'll find out who did this." Jennifer turned to the west, where the sun was setting. I knew she was concerned for Percy's safety, and I knew she was more worried than anyone else, even Zoë. I still remember what she looked like the first time I met her, and right now, she looks just like that.

"Find him Tyler," she said quietly. "I understand Zoë's trouble, and yours. But imagine how I feel." She turned back to me. "When I joined the Hunt, I felt horrible. I felt like the world's worst sister," she chuckled before continuing. "I searched most of Europe in under a year, trying to find Percy. I'd sneak out of camp whenever I could to search for him."

"Something's happening," she looked around. "I can feel it. As a Hunter of Artemis, I am more connected with my surroundings. In the forests, the birds would sing whenever Lady Artemis is around. But now, there is no singing. The wolves do not howl at the moon anymore. Everything is silent. It is as if the smallest sound will-"

"Wake the earth," I finished. She slowly nodded. "You and I both know Percy's disappearance was the start of something big." She put her hand on my shoulder. "And you know there's only one goddess who would do something like this."

I nodded.

"Hera."

"Looks like Annabeth was right," I say making my way through Olympus, my voice echoing off the wall. "Looks like Zeus really did call all the gods back to Olympus." On my way to Olympus, I was debating if I should vapor travel onto Olympus, or if I should try the elevator. I decided to try the elevator first.

When I reached the Empire State Building, the doorman was nowhere to be seen, so I just vapor traveled onto Olympus. Taking Chiron's advice, I remained water, just to be extra cautious. I reached the temples of the gods. "Where are you Hera?" I looked around the temples and saw Hera's, the gleaming white with the brown.

I made my way towards her temple till something caught my eye. In Apollo's temple, the twin archers, Apollo and Artemis, stood side by side, their silver and blue eyes blazing with fury. Opposite of them, sitting down with the posture of a queen. Hera.

Changing my course, I made my way to them. "You play a dangerous game Hera," Apollo hissed. I went through the front door and felt the heat in the room grow hotter and hotter with each passing second. Hera, seemingly unfazed by the blazing heat, smiled.

"I did what was necessary," she replied. "And that was to switch them. I did this for the sake of Olympus."

"You speak nothing but lies," Artemis spat. "We are no fools, Hera. You did this to get back at us." Hera raised an eyebrow.

"If you think this is about the whole Leto thing, then you're badly mistaken." The twins anger died away a little bit. "Zeus will never stay faithful. Why bother with it?"

"Then what are you playing at?" Apollo said suspiciously.

"Yet again, the survival of Olympus is in the hands of the son of Chaos. You know who our enemy is, and Perseus Jackson is related to our enemy." I realized what she was referring to, Apollo did too. The heat increased so much I felt blisters form on my body. I looked down and saw I was sweating, bad, but due to the intense heat, the sweat was gone before anyone noticed.

"You dare accuse Percy of being a spy?!" Apollo stormed towards her, but Artemis restrained him.

"Perseus Jackson is more loyal to to his own than he is to the gods," Hera said.

"Does that surprise you?" Apollo sneered. Out of all the times I met Apollo, he's usually laidback and calm but now, seeing Apollo's eyes burn like two miniature suns and his clothes smoldering, Apollo looks ready to take on any of the gods, even Hades. "I'm surprised after all that you did to him, he's still here."

"As am I," Hera replies. "But tell me, twins of Leto," Hera rose from her seat and headed to the window. "Do you really think Perseus Jackson will fight for the gods when it comes to fighting against his own?"

"No," Apollo admitted. Artemis stared at her twin shocked. Hera turned back to them, a relieved expression on her face. As if finally pleased someone saw her reasoning. "I don't expect him to fight for the gods when it comes to his family, what good have the gods done for him?" The blazing heat, thankfully died away. Surprisingly, nothing in the room was scorched.

Apollo looked away from her and looked straight at me, as if sensing me. "I expect Percy to fight for the right cause. Even if it means going against his own." Apollo looked back at Hera, whose expression was calm, but her eyes told a different story. "I suggest you leave," Apollo turned away from her and started to glow a bright golden color.

"Before Tyler Jackson comes to Olympus and delivers more than a scar." I completely forgot about that. I snuck onto Olympus to confront Hera about Percy's disappearance, instead, I seen Apollo nearly scorch Olympus and Hera along with it. Hera disappeared in a brown flash.

Apollo looked back at me. "Come out Tyler," he said. "I knew you were here for some time." I sighed before moving toward Apollo.

"How did you know I was here?" I ask forming my body.

"Many gods and goddesses underestimate my brother's abilities," Artemis says. "When I pull the moon chariot across the sky, I see everything under the moon. The same is with my brother and the sun chariot."

"But that doesn't answer my question," I say. "How did he sense me?" Apollo smiled.

"I sensed something out of the ordinary," he said. "When I lost it with Hera, I sensed pure heat, but I also sensed water that was forming a body. And that was you, I assume."

"So it was Hera," I say. Apollo and Artemis exchanged glances. "What did she do with Percy?"

Apollo put his hand on my shoulder. "Hera plays a dangerous game Tyler," he said. "And if there's a single mistake, everything will fall apart. We have no choice but to stand aside and watch Hera's plan unfold." I couldn't believe this was happening. The one god that I thought could actually help me was telling me to do nothing.

"Are you telling me to let Hera get away with what she did?" I demanded.

"No," Artemis said. "Hera will get what she has coming, but in such a dark time, we have no choice but to follow along with her plan."

"And what about Zeus?" I ask.

"None of the other gods know about Hera's plan," Apollo says. "Only me and Artemis know. Hera knows her plan will anger the gods, especially Zeus. You should head back," he said. "You will find a clue as to where your brother is back at camp." I nodded and got ready to leave till a thought came to me, something I didn't tell the campers.

"When Hera was in the Poseidon cabin," I say. "She didn't even look like Hera, she looked different. And she said something about a Jason Grace and Romans." Their eyes narrowed. "Are there Roman gods out there?"

"You should head back," Apollo said. "The campers are looking for you." His avoidance of the topic had me suspicious. I remembered the moment in the throne room, the gods shimmering, and the look in Zeus's eye. He looked like he was confused.

I nodded, but I couldn't shake this one thought. A crazy thought, but a thought nonetheless.

Are the Greek gods Roman gods also?

The first thing I noticed when I got back to camp was campers were moving around. "Hey," I tried to stop a camper, but I lost them in the bustling crowd. What's going on? The camp was buzzing with excitement, something that hasn't happened ever since Percy's disappearance.

I knew it wasn't an attack, because the horn hasn't went off, and the campers weren't armed. Instead, the campers were attaching a chariot to a couple pegasi with a very reluctant Will Solace standing off to the side talking to Annabeth and Zoë. "We won't destroy it," I heard Zoë say as I neared them. "We just need to borrow it."

"Annabeth!" Thankfully, all three of them turned toward me.

"Tyler," Zoë pointed at Will. "Tell him to to let us borrow the chariot."

"Why can't you just use a couple pegasi?" Will asked. "It'll be quicker."

"Why can't you just give us the chariot," Zoë said annoyed. "It'll be quicker." Will glared at her and opened his mouth.

"Alright, stop!" They all looked at me. "No one's borrowing anything till someone tells me what's going on."

"Rachel," Annabeth said it like it solved everything. I was only more confused. What does Rachel have to do with any of this?

"Rachel," I say. I was close to losing it. "What does Rachel have to do with any of this?" Rachel's in Connecticut, attending Clarion Ladies Academy. How could she possibly be affiliated with this mess?

"You know how she gets when she's about to sprout a prophecy?" Zoë asked. I nodded. "Well, when she got to camp-"

"Wait, hold up, Rachel's here?" I pointed at the ground. "Here? In camp?"

"Yes," Zoë said annoyed. "She's here." I was about to ask her where Rachel was, but stopped. Ever since Percy's disappearance, Zoë's been very... snappy. Deciding to avoid Zoë's anger, I gestured for her to continue. "She said our first step to finding Percy lies in Nevada, at a boarding school called Wilderness School." That's why the camp's up and moving. I thought as she continued. "She said to find 'the boy with one shoe'."

I looked at Will. "Lend them the chariot," Will groaned, but didn't agree. "Will, this is our first clue, our first actual clue on finding Percy. Do you really want to be the reason we screw this up?" Will still didn't budge. He must get his stubborness from Apollo. I thought before suddenly smirking. This always works. "Think about it this way," I say. "If this does screw up, then you'll have to explain it to the Hunters." Will paled as I continued.

"Do you really want to tell the Hunters that you're the reason that why we can't find Percy, the only male that the Hunters and Artemis hold in high admiration. Think about all the Hunters that will be angry: Alexis, Sarah, and Jennifer, his sister. Despite her being mortal, she can be quite scary when she wants to. And don't forget about Thalia, the daughter of Zeus." I tossed my head to Zoë. "And don't forget about the two former Hunters of Artemis here in camp, one of them being Percy's girlfriend."

Will sighed and looked at Zoë. "Bring it back," he said. "Intact." Zoë nodded as Annabeth hopped in the chariot, grabbing the reins.

"Thank you Tyler," Zoë whispered into my ear. I smiled as she hopped in the chariot. Me and Zoë have been supporting each other since Percy's kidnapping, and we're going to support each other till the end.

I watched as they shot into the sky, becoming a mere dot that grew smaller and smaller till it disappeared. "Wish I could go with them." I looked to my right and saw Kyle, wearing a dark blue t-shirt and black jeans. "Percy's done a lot for me in the time we knew each other," he looked at the sky. "I'd like to return the favor."

An idea came to me. "Maybe you can," I walked to the stables. "How comfortable are you when it comes to riding pegasi?"

And there's the third chapter! It's not very long, just a small idea that came to mind. Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still here. Anyway, thanks for being patient with me and feel free to review!
