THE LAST DEMIGOD…

Chapter 8: I take a hot dip…

We turned to se the lord of the dead Hades staring intently at us. "lord Hades." the others bowed

"Hades." Percy said through gritted teeth.

"Father!" Nico and Bianca exclaimed.

I just bowed. Hades said to us "the others are still trapped you will need Nico to raise them but first take the plunge into the Styx and become invulnerable!" with this he disappeared and a large black cloud headed towards the palace of Iapetus.

"so I just dive in?" I asked

"no you need to prepare yourself first or the river will destroy you!" Nico scolded.

"alright sheesh!" I replied. Me, Percy and Luke would all go into the river to gain invulnerability. We descended into the river and my entire body fell in agony. It felt like I was been ripped apart in acid put back together to feel the pain and ripped apart again. When I pictured my life string it was of me destroying Kronos valiantly. I rose out of the murky water with Luke and Percy already out of the rive on the banks. I heaved myself out covered in bruises and red blotches but these soon disappeared. I turned to Nico and said "its time."

"time for what?" he asked.

"what did we discuss!" I scolded him

"I remembered kidding." he replied

Then he turned around and started chanting in ancient Greek about the dead and memories. Eventually the air hummed with power and suddenly thirteen beings stood before us. "WE ARE THE GODS!" THEY BOOMED.

"we need your help." I said

After we explained the situation to them they agreed to help us on our next step.

"Alright." Annabeth said "lets move out!"

"to where?" Hermes asked

"to Mount Orthrys!" I said

"to destroy the Titans!" Percy yelled.

We all cheered and headed back to the palace to prepare for our assault. On the way back I spoke to my father Zeus and thanked him for claiming me and helping me he replied "I claimed you but did not help you I can't show favourtism1" "if not you then who?….." I asked.
