Thanks for all the reviews I hope you like it :P

We Meet Again

I moored the ship up into the docks; we headed off into the oak woods as Chiron suggested that's where the bone would be more likely to be. We were all weary from the long journey and having to fight off that Cetea so as soon as we found a suitable clearing we set up camp for the night. Grover was crunching on aluminium cans while Annabeth and I had to settle for whatever we could find in our bags, afterwards we settled down for a long night.

Dreams came to me, if you wanna put it that way as you well know demigods dreams aren't just dreams. I dreamt that Olympus was on fire, I tried to dose it with water but nothing seemed to work, I saw Annabeth sprawled on the floor. I ran over to her she was barely breathing I didn't have my backpack so no nectar. She croaked out a few words "should...have ...got...that...bone..." she stopped breathing I cried out and woke up in a cold sweat. Annabeth woke up at the sound of my cry "what's wrong. What's happened?"

"Nothing, bad dream"

The sun was rising over the horizon "I guess we better get moving".

We walked a few miles and found ourselves in Boston, Annabeth looked like she was about to burst when we walked round the corner to come face to face with the Boston Athenaeum – one of the oldest libraries in the US-. Annabeth turned around and pleaded with me to go inside, "Perce I don't think its safe" Grover cautioned "come on G-man what could go wrong it's only a library"

We walked into the library and even I was impressed let alone Annabeth she looked like she was about to collapse. I supported her in case she did, naturally Annabeth headed for the section on architecture. To our surprise when we got there we met someone we did not expect to see, Athena was sat there with her head in a book on Deadalus. Annabeth's jaw dropped open "MUM!"

"Annabeth, Perseus you finally made it I see"

Before I could say anything Annabeth edged in "you were expecting us"

"Why yes any child of mine visiting Boston wouldn't be able to resist going in to the Boston Athenaeum surely you should have realised by the name"

"Ummm" Annabeth still in shock

"Anyway I need to warn you, I can sense a dark spirit rising, you must get that bone to Olympus a soon as possible, also Perseus a certain god has been gone, be on your guard"

"What's that supposed to mean" I queried at least know I knew where the sacred place from the prophecy was and what my dream meant.

"You will find the answer if you are wise enough" She vanished leaving the smell of new books in the air. Grover froze and started chewing on his top " I sense monsters " I un-capped riptide this time in sword form, Annabeth had drawn her celestial bronze knife "we better get out of here" she nodded Grover chewed more vigorously. We ran down the stairs in to the lobby to confront four dracaena waiting for us. I motioned to Annabeth to slip her Yankees cap on and go round the back of them. I had a tug in my gun and summoned a sphere of water in my hand I threw it at two of the dracaena knocking them backwards. I charged, I managed to kill one before it regained its composure the other one managed to get up I blasted it with a wave of water before slicing it with riptide. Meanwhile Annabeth had successfully killed one and was now helping Grover who was tooting away on his reed pipes. The next thing that went through my head is what the Hades would the mortals be seeing through the mist. As soon as Annabeth and Grover had finished disembowelling the dracaena we bolted for the door. We managed to get to an alley way thankfully without the security noticing we were all breathing heavily from running I managed to ask "what did Athena mean a god is gone"

Annabeth replied "I don't know but I guess we'll find out". Grover moaned. We headed threw the city on a bus stopping off at a restaurant to eat. I ordered a pizza, Annabeth pasta and Grover salad.

"At least we understand the prophecy better now" Annabeth commented

"We knew the first line 'you shall find a treasure lost and sealed' the bone"

"The third line 'something stirs down in the deep' like my mum said she can feel something stirring"

"yeah but what? Also the last line 'A sacred place it you must keep' means Olympus"

"There's still the second line though 'a daring truth shall be revealed'"

"hmm I wonder what it could mean we'll send Chiron an Iris message tomorrow"

"yeah well wed better find somewhere to sleep"

We headed out and found an inn where we stayed, it was a relief to be able to have a shower and sleep in a soft bed. In the morning we got breakfast, It was so good to be able to have toast with jam on again. We made good time in the morning and managed to cross Boston and reach the woods on the other side we ventured on Grover constantly talking about juniper Annabeth looked at me and rolled her eyes telling me she was just as fed up. We reached a clearing the first thing I saw was a familiar Harley Davison decked out with all kinds of weapons then I saw Ares wearing his biker jacket and red sunglasses hiding his eyes of fire sharpening a knife.

"So you made it punk"

"Ares"

"Yeah that's me and we have some unfinished business"

"Bring it on"

"You challenging me with no water about"

I un-caped riptide and it grew into my trident, for a moment Ares looked surprised but only for a briefly, he drew a two meter long celestial bronze sword, He charged I blocked his blow with my trident it changed into my sword and I swung but Ares blocked it I rolled to one side but Ares anticipated it and was ready to block my blade. He swung and I parried I caught a glance of Annabeth's terrified face and that gave me a new strength. I freighted to the left but rolled under Ares' legs catching him by surprise giving me enough time to touch the ground creating an earthquake causing Ares to stagger I created a tornado of water and blasted Ares it causing him to fire backwards he didn't stay down long he recover quickly and charged at me but I was ready I created a ball of water around him and held it up high, I could see Ares fighting for breath inside I threw the ball against a tree Ares was on the floor I ran over to him and put the point of riptide against his throat "yeah I challenge you with no water around" he gave me a look that could burn a hole through you and dissipated.

"Daring Truth Shall Be Revealed"

Annabeth and Grover looked at me in amazement Grover called "Perce that was awesome"

"Thanks" Annabeth ran over and hugged me no make that squeezed me I patted her on the back she pulled away and said "we'd better IM Chiron" "yeah"

We found a river, luckily it was a sunny day so it wasn't too hard to make a rainbow I tossed in a gold drachma "Chiron, Camp half blood" Chiron came in to focus

"Ah Percy how's your quest going?"

"It's going alright although I just duelled Ares "

"YOU DID WHAT? Tell me what's happened"

"Well we got to Boston and met Athena in the Boston Athenaeum..." I explained to Chiron what had happened so far and asked if he'd found out anything more about the bone of Pelops.

"Yes apparently it is near a lake. I'm sorry Percy that's as much as I know"

"Thanks for the help anyway bye"

I waves my hand threw the mist to clear the image and turned towards Annabeth and Grover.

"Well if we follow this river downstream it'll lead to a lake"

"How can you be sure" Obvious Annabeth question

"I can feel it in the water"

"We better get moving then"

We stumbled on for a few miles before giving in to the need for sleep and set up camp. I collapsed onto my sleeping bag and fell to sleep straight away. I awoke to find Annabeth watching me when she saw that I had my eyes open she smiled at me and got me some breakfast I sat there eating while she talked to me "is it nice Seaweed brain" I nodded and continued eating, "Grover says he can fell the power of the bone growing closer hopefully we'll be able to find it in the next few days and get it to Olympus as quickly as possible" I'd finished eating "yeah before the dark spirit can gain a physical form" Grover came over and suggested that we got going.

We continued through the forest for most of the morning following the river downstream I waved at the river naiads as they swam past. The trees gradually started thinning out Grover froze and mouthed monster and sure enough stood behind us was of all things a drakon Annabeth slipped on her Yankees cap and disappeared I un-capped riptide and it grew into my trident, Grover started tooting away on his pipes vigorously the last person to defeat a drakon had been Clarisse. I took aim with my trident trying to aim for its eyes without looking at them I threw it hit its targets not both eyes were out as Annabeth has taken out the other one with her knife. Vines were growing up its legs anchoring them to the ground my trident flew back into my hands I threw it again piercing the skin on its stomach my trident came back to me again. Annabeth was stabbing viciously at its head I ran forward and stabbed my trident into its heart it burst into sand leaving the smell of sulphur in the air.

Annabeth had been on its head so when it exploded she fell I caught her on a wave and brought her safely to the ground she laughed and kissed me I kissed back.

We managed to reach the edge of a cliff at sunset where the river fell into the lake below causing a waterfall.

We set up camp Grover fell asleep almost instantly, whereas Annabeth and I sat at the edge of the cliff staring out onto the sunset. Annabeth looked at me and said "its beautiful isn't it"

"just as beautiful as you are everyday"

She blushed. I entwined my finger with hers and looked at her. We stared into each other's eyes. I thought about all the adventures we'd been on together all that we had gone through and realised how much I loved her. I spoke softly and stammered slightly

"I...I love you Annabeth"

She stared deep into my eyes and replied softly

"I love you too"

I put my had on her neck and kissed her she kissed back where we then fell asleep on the cliff edge
