I was still in the cell with Catherine asleep in my arms when Luke came for the third time. He looked certain about something and this time, he wasn't alone. Two people were with him and they didn't look too friendly to me.

"You had a small chance of escaping with a traitor on the ship but now, your chances are inexistent. Will you join us now, Percy? I would hate to have you tortured. Such a waste. Especially when you seem to have found good company," he smirked.

"Get lost, Luke. I already told you I wouldn't betray the gods. You should have stayed on our side, Luke. You are too blind to see what you lost." I replied.

"I see what I have gained. You too could gain a lot. You would become an all-powerful lord of the sea, and honestly, what did I lose?" he said.

"You don't see that you have lost Thalia's love forever. If you were still on our side, she would have loved you. Now she will stay a hunter, she will be immortal thinking about how much she hates you," I explained like to a two year old.

"Don't talk about Thalia like that. Soon, she will discover the love she has for me. And you, Percy, you will join us whether you like it or not. You may start." He said to the two men. I had almost forgotten them. Catherine was moved from near me by one of them. She looked at me with pure terror in her face.

One of the men took a long stick from his briefcase. He touched my arm with it and I felt electricity shot through my arm. The pain was unbelievable; I felt like my body was on fire.

Luke stood in the corner smiling.

"We discovered that only lightning could do anything to hurt you really. It works well, doesn't it? You are an opposite of electricity. It is the most dangerous thing for you. All thanks to the old grudge that Poseidon holds for Zeus."

I could only think it worked well. I never thought pain like that could be experienced by a human. I was aware of every bone in my body, they were all screaming for release. When I thought I was going to die, he removed the stick from my arm. I felt like some pain was going but I was still twitching uncontrollably. Luke was still smiling like it was the funniest thing that had ever existed; watching me getting tortured.

"Changed your mind yet?" he asked, looking amused.

"Dream on," I said. Blood was pouring out of my mouth. Luke turned to the men.

"I think we should leave him for today. He has to live. Three drops. Not one more." He said and he walked away.

I was wondering what he had meant until on of his goons took a bottle of water out of his vest and spilt three drops on me. I felt slightly better. I realized the second one was still holding Catherine. I hadn't seen how much she had been struggling. With all his muscles and strength, he was having trouble controlling her.

He finally let her go and she knelt next to me.

"Are you alright?" she looked really worried but the water had healed me. It was funny since the little quantity he had spilt on me shouldn't have been good for anything.

"I'm fine," my voice was hoarse.

"We have to get out of here. Leave me and go. You can't fight Oceanus in that state." She looked miserable but I had decided that I wouldn't go without her.

"Maybe there is a way. I share an empathy link with Grover. Maybe I can ask him for advice."

"Do you think it will work?"

"I can't be sure but we have to try." I slowly closed my eyes thinking of Grover. I had never understood how an empathy link worked but it was a good time to try. When I opened my eyes again, there was Grover.

"Percy, man. How are you?" He said.

"Grover, we got captured at The Princess Andromeda. I know you're busy searching for Pan but can you Iris-message Chiron to tell him not to kill the funny looking horses that are going to arrive at Camp shortly. And tell him not to send help. It's too dangerous. There are monsters on and under the ship." I explained quickly.

"What? Hold on; you got captured and you don't want anyone helping? Are you out of your mind? Do you know where the boat is? Maybe he'll be alright to send a quest. I'm coming back at camp and I'm going to bring you out of here Percy. Don't worry about that."

"No! I just told you! I don't want anyone coming. The ship is full of monsters. Please Grover, for once, listen to me. If there was another way, I would do it."

"No, Percy. You listen; I'm going to help you. You came when I was in the Sea of Monsters. Now, it's my turn to help you."

"Grover, wait…" But the image of him was dissolving.

I was left with Catherine. She tried to convince me that everything would be alright but she didn't sound that confident. More like she was trying to convince herself.

That night (I suspected it was night because we weren't allowed outside) I slept little but I still had a dream.

Luke was in front of the coffin.

"He still resists us. He won't join us. Maybe we should end his days and get the Di Angelo brat?" Luke asked.

"No. Percy is so much more powerful than that kid. I can feel it even when he is in his dreams. We will have to convince him and you will not kill him. I know he will come to his senses."

Then, he must have felt me because he spoke to me.

"Ah, Percy. I thought your prison would be powerful enough to prevent you from coming here but I was wrong." He I don't know how transported me to Camp. Or what he thought Camp would be in the future. Bodies lay motionless on the ground. The cabins had been burnt and the Big House seemed to have burnt then frozen, as to keep it in memories. I tried to break free from the dream and I woke up in a start. I was still in the cell but I could hear the evil laugh of Kronos. Catherine was shaking me to wake me up.

"You were screaming, so I thought I should wake you up."

"You did well. You should go back to sleep." And with that, we both dozed back.

This time, I didn't dream about Kronos but of Grover. Or he was extremely quick at travelling, or I had lost track of time.

"Percy, I was too late. They already sent a quest. Thalia, Nico, Tyson and Annabeth are already gone. And apparently, they are getting the help of Poseidon! Tell me Percy, what are those horses? They're really fast and they won't let anyone ride them but they fight monsters with amazing skills. They breathe fire, water, ice; they go in the water and they can fly. Where do they come from?"

"They already sent a quest? How could they? I stayed on the boat so they would be safe and they come back begging Kronos to kidnap them too? They're mad!"

"They have Poseidon's help. So what are those horses? I can't speak their language. That's funny."

"Even if they have Poseidon's help. All the Olympians wouldn't be enough now. They have more monsters than you can imagine. And I don't know what those horses are. I created them don't ask me how, I don't know."

I looked at my surroundings and recognized the place I had saved the little creature. That was it! It had said it would help me; now was a very good time. Even if it was a really small creature, I was sure they were more powerful than they showed us they were.

"I found a way. Grover, if the quest sends an Iris-message to Camp, tell them to stay where they are. I found a way of going away from that ship." And with that, I woke up in the cell.

I gently woke Catherine up. She yawned and stretched her arms and I wondered; what could she tell me that had something to do with the prophecy?

"What's wrong, Percy?" she asked.

"I found a way of getting away from here." And I explained the little animal to her. At first, she looked surprised but she agreed that it was our only chance to get away.

I kneeled in the middle of the cell and said: "Please, I need your help." I shut my eyes tightly and when I opened them, there was the animal. But he didn't come alone. There were dozens of other little creatures just like him.

"Perseus Jackson, I will be glad to help you. My siblings are grateful too for what you did to me. They will help me free you."

"Thank you. I really need your help. We need to get off that boat. Can you help us?"

"We can fight monsters but we can't fight Oceanus. You will have to do that. Follow us." And it walked towards the door. Catherine and I just followed blindly. When they arrived at the door, the one who had spoken shut his eyes and the door opened to let us go and closed after us.

"It will buy us some time." A small one explained.

We arrived at the deck without any problems. Just when I thought this was going to be easy, Luke appeared. It took him a moment to realize we were going to escape. Before I had time to anything, he pressed the alarm and monsters began to poor out of the entrances.

"You won't escape, Percy. You know it. If you could have, you would have done it the first time. Why don't you go down and save us a lot of damage?" He said.

I would have replied if Oceanus hadn't stepped in. He looked around and laughed.

"Perseus Jackson and his great army of rabbits."The monsters began to charge, but just when I thought we were done for, the creatures transformed into elements. There was fire, earth, air but no water. I wondered why but I didn't have enough time. They began killing monsters at an alarming rate.

"Well, Percy; I suppose you want to fight me to win the freedom from the curse I placed on your friend. Shall we?" I looked in his eyes. I had never seen such eyes. There was no white; just green and black. His face seemed timeless. I felt power around him as he created his first wave. I barely stopped it but it destroyed a great part of the ship.

I had been lucky to stop it because my body was still aching after the electricity. I jumped on the ramp and dived in the sea.

As soon s I touched the water, I felt strength in my veins. A huge geyser brought me at level with the ship where the titan was waiting for me with his face amused.

"You think you can beat me? You have never been so wrong, boy."

He sends a huge wave on me and I dodged. My turn to attack. I created a small wave. A small wave for me; for others, it would have been enormous. He owed not to be drowned only to jumping in the sea too. I watched as he regained strength.

"Getting tired?" I asked.

"In your dreams," he said, creating a water spout like mine to be at my level. I risked a look at the Princess Andromeda; the elements or little creatures had clearly won. The monsters were backing away and running through the entrances trying to save their lives. The elements didn't bother to run after them.

The only ones left on deck were a few Half-Bloods from Luke's side and the small creatures, still in their elements form. They were all watching Oceanus and me, battling over the sea. I knew that it all depended on me. I had to win against Oceanus. Just when I thought that the elements would be safe from now, the monster's back up came.

They were hundreds of them and even the elements couldn't win against all of them.

I decided that our only chance was to call back the horses. I closed my eyes and called for help. Instead of the ones that had come the first time, more came. They simply flew out of foam.

I knew the others were safe so I went back to Oceanus. He was still sending waves but I knew as well as him that this was just a warm up for both of us.

I decided to start the real fight by sending the most enormous wave I could muster. Oceanus was caught off-guard. His eyes trembled in his sockets.

When he got over the shock (not long enough in my mind) he started to attack. He attacked with enough force to make me understand he was mad and that warm-ups were finished.

We battled for a few minutes, none of us getting the upper-hand when he created a tsunami. The waves were huge. And instead of attacking me like I thought he would, he attacked the boat while making sure Luke and his Half-Bloods were able to breathe. But he was drowning Catherine and the elements. I started to push the wave back from them. I finally managed, ignoring his resistance. I sent one of his own waves back at him. He was caught by surprise and didn't anticipate my next movement; creating a sphere of water around him.

I made sure he couldn't breathe and I held on as long as I could. When the pressure became too much for me to hold, I let go. Oceanus was unconscious. I roughly sent a wave with him on it back on deck and called Catherine and the elements back. We all climbed on a horse and flew away.

We finally arrived in view of an island. It was desert. Nobody seemed to be on it.

"Thank you. You saved us from that horrible boat." I said.

"You are welcome, Percy. Could you do me a favor, please? Can you heal the small dear who got wounded?"

"I don't know how to do it. I swear if I could, I would do it."

"Percy, you healed me and you didn't know how to do it either. Just try." After saying that, they all went back into their natural form. The small little rabbits.

"I'll try but I can't promise anything." I said to the eldest one. I kneeled next to the small one. He was having trouble with breathing. I thought about saving him and for the second time in this circumstance, my hands glowed green. I gently placed them on him and he seemed to instantly go better. He slowly got up and thanked me.

"You see, Percy. You have a better control on your powers than you think. We must go, now. If you need help, call us." He turned around but I called him back.

"If you ever need me, call me too. But, if it isn't rude, who are you?" I asked. To my great surprise, he laughed.

"It has been a long time since people have forgotten us. But to you, we are the Elshorads. Goodbye, Perseus Jackson." And they skipped away leaving me and Catherine all puzzled.

Only then did we realize how tired we were. We leaned against a tree and slept.
