Jake Raider's POV: A Simple Reunion

The last thing I remembered was that I had fainted in the water. I was defeated by Saturn, since I underestimated his strength. But I swore that I would someday get stronger, and restore peace to Camp Fotis and Manhattan. I opened my eyes and returned consciousness again, but I was still a little dazed. I looked around and saw a room somewhat like a medical center, with beds that were white. There were nurses there, but instead of regular human nurses, these nurses were harpies, but they had regular white nurse robes. I looked to the left of me and I saw Justin still unconscious. I thought that we were in Camp Fotis again, but who brought us here in the first place?

I looked around and observed again, being patient until Justin regained consciousness. I reached for my sword, but I found it nowhere to be found. I asked one of the harpies where my weapon was, but the harpie answered in some kind of cryptic code that I couldn't understand. I turned angry, but calmed down once I remembered Tara's words before I left.

"Stay safe, and come back," Tara's voice formed in my head.

"Where the hell are we," a voice asked.

I looked up and saw Justin, his hair messed up probably from the faint. He was bandaged at the waist and on other parts of his body that was severed or injured.

"Where are we," he asked.

"I have no idea where we are, but it looks like some kind of hospital," I answered.

"If this was a hospital, then why are there harpy nurses," Justin asked again.

That was already strange to me. I didn't know exactly why there were harpies all over the place. I got up and went outside and I nearly fainted when I saw where we were. We were underwater, in some kind of castle. I looked around and saw bunches of what looked like…..mermaids. They were mermaids, but not all of them were women or girls. There were men, animals, and kids in fish tails. I walked around a bit and decided to scavenge around. Justin followed right behind me, and was amazed by the beautiful scene. I then noticed and old and rusty man, in a hallway with a mermaid (I think), and a merman/kid. I ran to the man and instantly, he transformed into, what looked like a younger man, in shorts, a shirt and a trident in hand.

"Hello, Jake, I see you decided to come visit me," the man said sarcastically.

"I don't even know you," I said.

"Well, I'm here to introduce, aren't I. My name is Neptune, here is my wife, Salacia, and my son, Triton." he said.

It then hit me. I was underwater because this was my father's castle. But why isn't he up on Mount Olympus with the other gods. Does he know about Titan War II?

"Dad, I know this is your castle and all, but why aren't you up there with the other Olympians, I mean, there is another Titan war in our hands and your just sitting here laid back?"

I was expecting a roar or a yell or something come at me for being so rude, but my dad just sighed and said," Son, you know how gods have their own enemies that are unknown to others, and I just can't help Olympus at this point. My kingdom down here is under attack by the Titan Oceanus. I just can't leave until Oceanus is defeated," he said.

"I understand," I said, upset.

I knew he had his own kingdom to care over, but isn't Olympus where he is seated with the other gods. I mean, in my opinion, Olympus is more important than any kingdom of his, but I guess I understand.

"Son, use these to get you back to the surface," he said as he offered me two small water bubbles.

I took them and said nothing in disappointment and gave one to Justin.

"Are you okay," he asked politely.

"I'm f-fine," I lied.

We then popped the bubbles and were sent back to the surface in an instant.

We were back at camp, and I saw a bunch of campers around the fire, and me and Justin decided to play a little trick. We snuck behind cabins and listened to the camp.

"And for their bravery and courage, let them rest in peace," I heard what was obviously Mack's voice.

I heard sniffles and crying from the campers, and then I saw them lift a shroud that was sea green, which represented Neptune. But me and Justin went out from where we were hiding and the campers noticed us.

"What do we have here," Mack said.

Tara and I think the girl was called Chrystal ran toward me and Justin. Tara hugged me tight and Chrystal kissed Justin in the cheek.

"Where were you, we were about to burn your shroud because we thought you guys died," Tara said.

"Well, we made it out alive, and we are safe…..for now," Justin said.

"Everyone, take these shrouds and throw them away, and Justin, and Jake, see me," Mack said.

"I'll explain to you later," I told Tara and ran off toward the Big House.

I know this was short, but please review, favorite, and follow!
