A/n: Hey guys. So it's been months since i posted anything, and i just wanted to let you guys know that unfortunately, I really do not have time to update this story much. I don't even have time to write chapters. So I will be only hiatus for the next few weeks give or take. I'll try my best to update during the holidays.

School takes priority and my grades have fallen from A's to F's, so I do hope you guys understand the lack of updates.

Hence, this chapter will be longer than the rest. See you guys next chapter!

Unknown's POV:

"Is the next part of the plan set up yet?"

"Yes my lord. The results should show by this week."

"Very well. You are dismissed."

(3 days later)

Piper's POV:

"That's why we should have the surprise part Beauty Queen. To celebrate Percy's two months of freedom from hell!" Leo countered, his hands moving rapidly, gesturing wildly as he tried to make his point.

"But we don't know if whatever we do will trigger a flashback. Besides, don't you think it's too early for celebration?" Hazel cut in, causing Leo to pout like a child.

"Yeah. Like Hazel said. If we do anything wrong, he might just have a flashback instead. You saw what happened when he first came back. It's only been two months. It would be better to wait for him to be less susceptible to flashbacks, and then have a party." I put in.

"Fine, but if he asks why we didn't surprise him, it's your fault." Leo huffed, causing me to grin.

You would think that the heroes of Olympus would be mature adults, who are power and can make smart decisions by themselves. Well, we aren't mature people when we are not trying to save the world. In fact, Percy is actually one of most mature people of our group. He isn't really childish when you get to know him better.

"Yeah yeah Leo, whatever you say..." Jason replied, staring out at the arena, where he winced as he saw the campers' horrible sword fighting techniques. "I'm gonna go and fix the new campers' mistakes. See you guys later."

"Me and Frank need to go back to Camp Jupiter. We're electing a new Augur later this afternoon." (A/n: idk if they have a new augur, it's been forever since i read anything related to PJO and i'm too lazy to check)

"I gotta go bring my cabin mates for archery lessons. Bye!" I said, as most of the group departed, except for Leo, since this was his cabin.

Tatarus' POV:

"My lord, what more do you want from me. I have already given you my son, my domain, everything that I have." I whimpered.

"You know what I want, you know what I value."

"Anything, my lord" I whisper, as I take my last breathe before I fade away"

Clarisse's POV:

"You little punks, I'll show you what is fighting" I shouted across the arena, where a bunch of Hermes kids were fooling around with their weapons.

immature idiots who didn't even know how to use their sword properly. And yet they were still alive even after the war. Among those kids were the Stolls and a few others I didn't recognize.

Of course it so happens that as they run from me, a hole erupts from the ground, sucking in a wooden sword which had been thrown on the ground.

"Someone get Chiron." I hear Jason say, as i inch closer towards the hole, wondering if it was just a scorpion pit, or something worse.

It was a good thing that the Stolls pulled me away from the whole as my spear (yes, I still have a spear which is now called Maimer III) was sucked into the chasm, disappearing into the hole which was so dark I couldn't see the tip of my spear as soon as it fell 3 feet down.

"I think the hole down to Tartarus has just opened again." Chiron announced, testing his theory as his placed a dummy next to hole, only for it to get pulled into the hole by an invisible force.

Percy's POV:

As soon as Chiron said the words Tartarus, I immediately bolted to my cabin, knowing I would have a flashback very soon. And I was right.

(Flashback)

"You think you are so strong son of Poseidon, yet you don't understand how many beings out there who can destroy you with barely any effort." I heard Nyx say, her dagger dangerously close to my neck.

"You really think I would believe that you and the dumb blonde are tourists? You really think that I can't see in the dark? I was merely allowing you to escape, so we can have this very special time together." She snarled, allowing the tip of the dagger to cut into my skin, making blood drip slowly onto the ground.

"You see my dear boy, fate has led you here to my domain today, where you have already witnessed the house of night, and what it has to offer. Now, you will understand how it feels like to be near Chaos' realm. The closer you are to my father's realm, the closer to being obliviated you become. So let's see how much you can take shall we?" She growled as she pulled my by what remained of my shirt towards the cliff side facing the realm. I could already feel the death mist taking over my body, my attempts to break free stopped as my muscles could barely move.

Nyx lowered me further down, she herself standing at the top of the cliff while 2 of her minions flew me down slowly. She was looking down at me, her smile being even creepier than Tartarus itself. I started writhing in pain as the death mist took over my whole body, my inside burned, as if it was turning to nothing. Nyx cackling being the last thing I heard, before I passed out in pain.

(Flashback over)

I snapped up from my position on my bed, my breathing slowly evening. I looked over to the clock on the wall, noticing that it had only been about half an hour before the start of my flash back. This was concerning as my flashback usually lasted for over a couple of hours.

Getting off the bed, I made my way to the big house, only to see Chiron looking out at he arena with worry.

"What's wrong?" I asked my mentor, startling him as he slowly eased into the wheel-chair next to him.

"I fear that danger will strike camp again soon my boy. The hole has reopened. Already 2 demigods have disappeared from camp since your arrival. And I hear that there have been monster attacks on Camp Jupiter. Not only that, but the gods have been hiding much information from us. I feel a darkness approaching. Much worse than what we have faced previously." He murmured ominously, deep in thought.

"We'll be alright Chiron. Besides, we have won all our wars before. What's to stop us now?" I assured him, my original purpose of meeting him completely forgotten.

"Not this one." Rachel (the oracle) said, as she suddenly appeared next to us, her eyes wide with fear.

"I just had a vision, and I really don't think this enemy is something we can fight against. Our next enemy is-" She was cut off as the green fog began to spew from her lips, the oracle ready to spout out the next prophecy.

"Cabin leaders, come here now! I heard Chiron shout, before I saw black fog spewing out from my own mouth, as I fell unconscious for the second time that day.

A/n: hey guys, so it's been about 7 months since I updated. I'm really sorry about that. I do hope ya'll understand how school is like, and how us students have little to no time for writing stories (or isit just me?)

I'm considering about putting this story up for adoption. I will still continue to write it for now. But if I feel that I am unable to finish this story before the end of 2018, I will give this story to someone more capable of giving you guys the story you deserve. I will be having my O levels (if anyone knows what that is) next year. As such, please understand that a national exam is more important than fanfiction in my opinion. Although that is no excuse for being on hiatus for 7 months. I apologise for my lack of updates. I really hope you guys will still enjoy it even though my writing style pretty much took a 180 degree turn.

Love,

Lolisa
