Hi... so... how's it going.

I'm so sorry this update has taken so long I'm not sure how that ended up happening! Only that I thank you for not screaming at me and ill try not to do it again!

Raider of Tartarus

3rd Person-Annabeth

It was stupid but on some level, Tartarus reminded Annabeth of her old school, the endless corridor that looked like they hadn't been touched for years despite how often they were used. She hated it.

People always assumed that children of Athena loved school but they couldn't be more wrong ,around her mind there was a cage and at school all they did was allow her to open her mind a mere fraction and feed the creature inside, not like when Annabeth did research at home where she could open the cage around her mind as wide as she wanted without fear of getting in trouble by adult or the people who called her 'friend'.

In Tartarus, she felt like the cage around her mind was locked shut and she didn't have the key. The others didn't seem to feel the same way as they slowly wandered through Greek Hell.

"Do you think we'll get a reward after all this?" Jason wondered aloud, his tone light but his eyes betrayed his inner pain. Annabeth did a double take at the question, a reward. They'd never gotten a reward for doing anything before, would, this time, be an exception.

"We'd better" Thalia growled darkly, turning her gaze to Annabeth. "What do you think Blond Brain?" Annabeth frowned, not at the question but at the terrible nickname.

"Blond Brain! What? Why?" Leo demanded sounding horrified. Jason looked horrified equally horrified.

"It sounded better in my head!" Thalia defended herself vainly. Annabeth ran the name through her head but couldn't figure out how such a horrific nickname could have ever sounded decent.

Looking ahead, Annabeth noticed two dim lights flickering in the corner of the larger room they were walking around. The two lights shut off but quickly came back on again as if they were blinking…oh.

"Stop" Annabeth urged quietly, the others listened to her command but didn't look happy about it.

"What?" Nico asked sounding extremely frustrated. Annabeth nodded to where the eyes were but they weren't there anymore. "Oh look a cave wall how bazaar!" Nico mock exclaimed.

Suddenly the son of Hades froze, his entire body turning an almost transparent white before he collapsed to the ground not even twitching as he landed on his arm possibly breaking it.

'That's no way to speak to your friends' a voiced purred from behind Annabeth, she unintentionally found herself relaxing at the gentle voice against her better judgement. 'Didn't your parents teach you better?'

Annabeth wracked her brain for any memory of who the voice belonged to but came up with nothing, she'd never heard a voice quite like this one before.

"Who are you?!" Piper demanded her voice thick with charm speak, Annabeth found she wanting to tell the daughter of Aphrodite her life story but controlled herself.

'You'll find out soon enough'

3rd Person-Percy

Why was life so god damn unfair! Percy asked himself but didn't receive any answers, surprisingly. Percy liked putting the things he learnt to use, after all, the hours he spent training it gave him a deep feeling of satisfaction when it all paid off but there was one thing he despised more than anything and that thing was stealth.

It was so painfully boring and stressful that Percy would rather sit through another one of Bob's lectures about why a janitor's broom is stronger that a regular broom. Percy was currently crouched behind a pile of rocks taking in his surrounding and slowly creeping around the room to the tunnel out, and he was so bored! His legs hurt from not standing straight for so long and he couldn't stop yawning.

He really wanted to just screw it all and run for the exit but he held himself back, after all, it was a kilometre long stretch from where he was to where his target is, he may be fit but he didn't think he'd be able to sprint that far without getting caught. If he did get caught Kronos may just kill him, well half-kill him so Bob could heal him and then Kronos would half-kill him again. Percy shuddered at the thought.

Forcing himself to focus on the task at hand, Percy stood up slightly and crept further around the rock until he was on the edge and he rolled out to the next pile his muscles screaming in protest. He scanned the few monsters in front of him, it was mainly hell hounds last time he checked and this time it was more or less the same except one new annoyance and their names are Empousai.

The Empousai had hated Percy from the moment they'd laid eyes on him, well actually they'd hated him ever since Kronos had forbidden them from using their charm speak on him , a thing he was eternally grateful for. The vampire-like monsters were just plain weird and just because Kronos had made them swear not to charm speak him, didn't mean that they took every opportunity to 'accidently' trip him over so he'd cut himself. He hated to wonder what they did with the blood that dripped on the floor.

The Empousai were about 2 metres away from him so they weren't far enough away that they wouldn't notice if he tripped, fantastic. He needed to create a bigger distance between himself and the Empousai, or he could use his magic. He didn't want to but it may be his only option, he opened his palm and saw his blue energy dancing across his hand teasingly.

A smirk adorned his features, game on.

3rd Person- Kronos

Kronos was annoyed, again. Sometimes he loathed his job. Being in charge had its pros of course but the pros barely outweighed the cons, like the fact that no matter how many weapons he ordered to be made to equip his army there was always more needed. He was sitting on his throne listening to another complaint about how much resources section 5 of his forced needed.

"Your Highness" a barely audible voice squeaked, Kronos turned to look at who interrupted him only to see one of the guards he'd sent to watch Percy standing in the doorway looking absolutely terrified.

"What?" he snapped not in the mood.

"It's Percy sir" the guard stammered, Kronos' stomach plummeted. "He's gone."

Kronos' fury pushed any other thought from his mind and all the people in the throne room scattered charging for the exit.

"PPPPPPEEEEEERRRRRRCCCCCYYYY!"

I'm not entirely happy with this but we're slowly getting to the part I've been wanting to write since I first imagined this story. hehe.

BTW the voice that spoke to the seven is a very important character, maybe you could try to guess who it is? ill give you a clue: they're one of the titans who we haven't met before in a Percy Jackson book.

Also quick question: Can Hazel use her metal powers on celestral bronze? I'm not sure if she can so if you think she can or can't please tell me!
