Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Grover Underwood, Clarisse La Rue, and Michael Yew were decided to accompany me on my quest. Everyone of them had some sort of talent to bring to the table and would benefit the entire group, so it seemed logical to me to have the five of them travel along.

Percy is an excellent sword fighter and would help us travel across water if need be. Annabeth is undoubtfully brilliant and cunning; she would guide us to our destination. Grover could sniff out monsters, which would most definitely be needed. Clarisse was strong and had brute force; she's be our bodyguard of sorts. Michael, as a son of Apollo, is an expert archer and good with medicine; if one of us were to be injured, he'd be helpful to have on hand.

The night before we left for the quest, my sleep was filled with many strange dreams. When I discovered who my father was, I realized that I should pay extra attention to my dreams; they would lead me to where I needed to be.


In one of my dreams, I was standing alone in a land with just sand. My mouth was dry and the sun was beating down on me. I heard shouts in the distance and realized it was Annabeth screaming for help; I started running after her. I ran hard and was sweating like crazy, but she just seemed to keep getting farther away. She was running towards the others, who seemed to be in a body of water and drowning.

I tried screaming at them to get their attention, but it didn't do any good. I broke down into tears and sat in the sand, giving up hope. As I sobbed, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I whipped around and came face to face with a mummy with an amulet that looked like a dung beetle. I reached for the amulet, but the mummy's eyes burned a bright red and grabbed my hand.


I woke with a start, drenched in sweat. My sleeping bag was thrashed all around me and I almost rolled on top of a girl who was sleeping near my spot on the floor of the Hermes cabin. It was near pitch black in the cabin and content snores from the campers let me know that all of those in the Hermes cabin were fast asleep.

I tried to go back to bed, but it was a fruitless attempt. After about an hour, I rolled up the sleeping bag and pulled on my shoes, heading out of the cabin and headed two cabins down to the Apollo cabin. I quietly opened the door and strained through the darkness to find Michael Yew amongst his siblings. After about a minute, my eyes landed on him. I moved forward and shook him slightly.

"Michael," I whispered, "Wake up."

He took a minute to wake up, but Michael finally came to and seemed very surprised to find me in his cabin. After all, people just didn't swap cabins.

"What are you doing here? And after curfew?"

"I had a dream and I know where we're heading. Now come on, get dressed. We have to wake Clarisse, Annabeth, Percy and Grover."

I left the cabin and waited outside so Michael could get dressed. After a few minutes, he came out dressed in jeans and a tee shirt. He went over to the Athena cabin to wake Annabeth and I volunteered to wake the sleeping demon that was Clarisse. I'd never been inside the Ares cabin and I wasn't looking forward to waking Clarisse; I had a feeling she wouldn't be happy to be woken.

I took a deep breath before opening the door to the Ares cabin. The blood red paint on the outside was also on the inside and the place was a pigsty. Clothes and weapons were strewn all over the place. Loud snores erupted all around me.

My eyes quickly found Clarisse sleeping in a cot in the corner. I moved silently over to her and bent down. Once over her, I gently shook her. "Clarisse…wake up. C'mon Clarisse…"

Clarisse woke quicker than Michael and she bolted up and snatched her sword that was next to her bed. She thrust it at my chest, but Clarisse quickly dropped it when she noticed it was only me.

"Well what in the Hades are you doing in here?"

"Michael and Annabeth are waiting for us, Clarisse. We have to go to the Big House and talk to Chiron."

She nodded and looked around for her shoes. Upon finding them, we left the Ares cabin and met up with Michael who was waiting outside of the Poseidon cabin. He immediately explained, "Annabeth's waking up Percy. She said that Grover's probably sleeping at the Big House."

I nodded and waited patiently for Annabeth to come out of the house with a stumbling and tired Percy. Once they reached us, we all set off for the Big House as a group.


Chiron and Grover were awake and talking together when we reached the Big House. Despite it being two in the morning, Chiron didn't seem surprised to see us up. He was in his human form and sitting in his wheelchair while Grover sat on a couch, eating a water bottle.

"I had a feeling you six might show up."

The others sat on the couch and chairs that were scattered around the room; I preferred to stand. When the others were comfy, everyone turned to look at me.

"I had a dream that we were in the desert. There was a mummy that had an amulet that matched the dung beetle, which the Ancient Egyptians viewed as good luck and health. I think we're supposed to go to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt and take this amulet."

The others stared at me in silence. Annabeth slowly nodded, but Clarisse shook her head.

"Why in the world would we be sent to get an amulet? That doesn't make sense, Violet."

Chiron cleared his throat and frowned at Clarisse's words, "A demigod's dream is a powerful weapon. To be the daughter of the God of Dreams…well, that's not something to take lightly. If you believe this means something, Violet, follow it."

I nodded and looked at the group of five that volunteered to accompany me. They seemed wary about the unknown adventure that was ahead of us, but more tired than unwilling. I smiled. "Thank you for agreeing to come with me on the quest. I really appreciate this."


We set out just before everyone woke for the day. We all agreed that we didn't want to create a scene, so we left quickly and quietly. Although it'd be quicker if we flew to Egypt than to take a boat, it wasn't exactly safe for Percy to fly. He'd muttered something about getting shot out of the sky and ran off to get us a boat big enough for the six of us.

Percy guided us away from camp and onto the ocean when we set off. In no time, camp was unseen and we were completely surrounded by water. I felt really insecure about the direction we were heading in, concerned that we'd go in the wrong direction, but Percy reassured me that we were going straight to Africa.

We all fell asleep within an hour or two of being on the boat. Percy said that he'd know right away if we started drifting in the wrong direction, but I wasn't too comfortable with falling asleep…yet, I did.

I had more strange dreams. I was aboard the Princess Andromeda. Several demigods in Greek armor and dracaenae were at the railings, looking down into the ocean. Luke stood behind them, smirking. I pushed my way to the railing and looked down. Just a few yards away from the ship was a boat with six sleeping figures. Several of the demigods jumped into the water and swam to the tiny boat.

Dominique, a girl I befriended during my stay on the Princess Andromeda, came up right beside me and smiled bitterly. "You betrayed us, Violet. You swore an oath to Kronos and the Titan army…now you'll die like a traitor." Dominique pulled her knife into the air and made it come down with force.

I woke with a start and immediately punched Dominique's face. She fell back with surprise and dropped her knife into the water. Her surprised yell woke the others, who quickly noticed that a dozen demigods with knives were surrounding us. They all sprung into action.

Percy jumped into the water and pulled two demigods down with him. A few seconds later, they shot out of the water and onto the Princess Andromeda with a loud thud that could be heard, despite them having landed probably on the top deck.

Dominique composed herself and snatched up her knife, going into attack me. She grazed my cheek and pushed herself into the small boat. I snatched up my sword and sliced through the air, barely missing Dominique as she stood on the rickety boat. She laughed and lunged, forcing me to drop my sword and fall into the water.

Dominique pushed me underwater and took a grasp of my neck, cutting off my air supply. I thrashed against Dominique, but she was just much too strong for me to fight against. I could feel myself getting drowsy and my vision was slowly turning black.

But all of a sudden, I was powerful. The black faded and I grabbed Dominique and dragged her underwater with me. She gulped in surprise and immediately her lungs were filled with salt water. Dominique wildly fought against me, but I felt myself become angry very quickly and I punched her once. She stopped fighting and floated to the surface.

I swam up the few feet and took a deep breath as soon as I broke the surface. Dominique was lying on her back, passed out, but breathing from what I could see. I felt bad for hurting her, but as Clarisse would probably say, "Better her than us."

I whipped around to see how everyone was doing; they all pushed away the final demigods away from the boat and the Princess Andromeda was almost long gone, just beyond the horizon. Michael sighed with tiredness and looked over at me and yelped in surprise.

He whipped back around to look at Clarisse than turned his attention back to me. "Violet? How'd you do that?" I was confused and started swimming back to the boat, but I was all of a sudden tired again. He held out his hands and pulled me aboard. Once inside, I noticed that Annabeth was holding her wrist, which was purple and didn't look very good.

I sat up against the boat's 'wall' and laid my head back. Michael sat right down next to me. I looked at the floating demigods who were clearly breathing, but were abandoned by Luke and Kronos' army. I winced at Dominique's form and looked at my companions. "What do we do about them?"

Clarisse shrugged, "Let them figure that out themselves. They're the traitors and they tried to kill us. I'm not helping them."

Surprisingly, Annabeth, Grover and Percy agreed. Grover looked apologetically towards me, like he somehow knew that I used to be friends with Dominique. "I'm sorry, Violet, but they didn't have to join Kronos."

Percy immediately sped off back in the direction of where we were heading. As the boat jumped with each wave, Michael whispered to me, "How'd you do it?"

"Do what?"

"For just a minute…you were Clarisse. I mean, looked just like her."


*Author's Note*

I felt like that chapter was a little rushed, but I feel like I'm on a roll with the whole update thing. Thank you so much for the reviews, I really appreciate getting them. When I don't, I feel like no one's reading them or they just don't like them.

And I just now realized that I messed up with Morpheus' symbol. It's not supposed to be a bag of sand (I just did that because he's the "sandman"); it's actually supposed to be a closed eye. Very sorry about that.

Oh, and trust me with this whole Ancient Egyptian thing. I know where I'm going with this…I think. It's not going to be an Egyptian Gods sort of deal, so don't start freaking out. So…yep.
