Chapter 8
I was personally surprised at how fast everyone arrived at Camp that morning. Not even a half an hour after we decided to hold the meeting everyone was seated in the council room in the Big House.
"I don't know what you guys have been dreaming about but I got a Dream Vision last night. It leaves for plenty to worry about." I stared into each person's eyes, dead serious. "But before we get to my own Dream Vision, I want to know if any of you have seen anything in your dreams."
"I haf seen something zat eez very worrying to moi, zere vas a castle filled with golden statues of many zings, people, satyrs, plants, animals, you name eet zey got eet." Came Rebecca, the new French demi-god, in her accented speech. "Je suis désolé, I am Rebecca Lavigne, Daughter of Dionysius. J suis arrivé from Bordeaux, France. I am, comment dit-on, la voix de la raison" she said flipping her long, black hair over her shoulder.
"I haf been hafing this dream about a woman wif a necklace made af metal. I could sense that it vas cursed metal just by looking at it." Piotr said from his position at the end of the table with his arms crossed over his chest. "I am Piotr Kuzentsov, Son of Hephaestus. I vill be your pyro-kinetic." He said this as he lit his hand on fire.
"I haf been seeing a giant snake that can turn into a human vith red eyes, attacking a villiage." said Ivan from his spot at the ping-pong net. "I am Ivan Boyadjiev, Son of Apollo, I am your marksman and healer."
"I have been seeing fields of white flowers during an ancient battle in Greece," came a Spanish accented voice. "I am Angel Palomo, Son of Aphrodite. The Charm-Speaker if you will." He finished with a flourished wave of him hand.
"I have been seeing a feline stalking around with music playing around it, but what type of feline it is I don't know for sure," said my uncle for lack of better terms, "I am Solaris Mata, Son of Demeter, and I am your Geo-kinetic."
"Do you know the most famous hunter in all of Greek history?" Orion asked. "Orion. The original Orion, my mother's former infatuation, is who I have been seeing. I am Orion Argyris, the only Son of Artemis, and I am your hunter."
"I find it strange that I dreamt of Lady Aphrodite and another man. But what confuses me even more is that this man is wearing Greek clothing from history not modern clothes." said a bulky looking guy, "My name is Javen Acciai, Son if Ares, and I shall be your weapons specialist."
"Egh, Spiders. All I've been dreaming of is spiders." said Malcolm, "Hi, I'm Malcolm Strix, Son of Athena, and I am the strategist."
"A swamp which is strange cause I get the feeling I'm being watched there too." said another guy that had his arms on the back of his chair and was leaning on them. "I am Issac Laron, Son of Hermes, and I will serve as your stealth force."
"I will admit my dream has creeped me out a bit. I hear a bunch of chains rattling and that's it," said Percy, "and hello to those who don't know me I am Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon, and I will be you hydro-kinetic for your entire stay with us."
"Mine was weird too. I just felt extremely hungry and then I'd wake up." said Thalia, "Hello I'm Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus, and I am the electro-kinetic."
"I will say that I too have heard music, but I only hear it and see nothing else." said Nico, "I am Nico Di Angelo, and I am your contact to the dead."
"I must say I wish I was the only one to have a Dream-Vision, mainly because I know what some of your dreams mean." I said with a little frustrated tone, "but first I'd like you guys to meet Shawn Le Noir, Son of Thanatos. He has told me some worrying news this morning before we arrived here. Shawn would you like to share what you told me?"
He stood up from where he was sitting and placed both hands palms down on the table, and stated with a blank face to everyone, "Last night my father visited my dreams and told me that many historical beings have disappeared from the Underworld-"
"What do you mean disappeared? A soul can't just up and disappear." said Issac in disbelief.
"I don't know how, but a soul disappearing means one thing," he said looking at everyone individually. "The souls have left the Underworld, gained a new body and are working against us to defeat the gods."
"I have contacted Hades to get a guesstimate of whom and how many have disappeared, and it does not look good for us." I said grimly.
"Demetrius, who is on the loose?" asked Orion, looking worried for the first time I have seen.
"I will name only the most dangerous ones to us. From the Fields of Punishment: Tantalus and Sisyphus. Then there are Arachne, Midas, Orion, Python, Cassiopeia, and Paris. I was shocked to hear Heracles was out too, but that doesn't make sense as he is Zeus' son." I am even more curious as to why Echo, Adonis, Narcissus, Orpheus, and Harmonia are gone too. These souls are peaceful while the others are dangerous in their own way."
"Regardless, we should be on full alert for this journey. Everyone should grab their stuff and meet at the pine tree to catch the bus." said Percy who looked at me for approval. I nodded and everyone left quickly to get their stuff and digest the new information I have revealed to them.
"May the gods grant us the strength to overcome this challenge." I prayed before going to gather my stuff.
In less than an hour everyone was at the tree.
"Okay where to first?" asked Malcolm from his spot leaning against the tree.
"Virginia Beach," I said. When everyone looked at me like I was crazy I continued on, "I was asked to look for these missing souls and some of your dreams have mentioned specific details of them and two are about beauty. So where is the most beautiful places in the U.S.? In Virginia Beach right now."
And with that we set off onto our extremely dangerous and extremely deadly quest. I mean when hunting souls, what's the worst that could happen?
