Alright, I am sorry for not updating for a long time!. I really had to think about this chapter, and in this one they're going to go on a quest, BUT only Codex is going on the quest. Sorry but on the last quest there was A TON of OC's and I couldn't keep up with them, sorry :(. Also the rest of this is in Codex's POV.

Sense it was snowing the lake had frozen over and people were ice skating and making snowmen and having snowball fights, but I just couldn't get that girl out of my mind!.

"I have to find her," I said to myself and ran into the forest. There was this one tree that was different from ALL the others that I kept important stuff under,

I saw it in the distance and ran over to it, Luckily no one had found out and my stuff was still there.

"Okay, Let's see here. Three drachmas, a sword, some ambrosia, some nectar. And. . . . A wand?" I said as I picked it up, it was light and felt like a twig.

"Stupid thing," I said and tossed it aside, when it hit the ground it made a weird noise. I was afraid to look behind me but I did, there was a hole in the ground. That was it, nothing more then a hole.

"Okay. . . " I said and threw my bag over my shoulder and walked over to the hole, I looked in and it was pitch black. I kicked a rock in to see how deep it was, and it never hit the ground.

"Whatever," I said and turned around but lost my balance and fell in, luckily I grabbed onto the edge of the hole and started pulling myself up when the hole top started getting smaller and smaller.

"Crap!" I yelled and my hand slipped, I fell down into the pitch black hole. Nothingness, no noise. Nothing,

It seemed like forever until I hit the ground, I also felt the rock I had thrown in.

But the ground wasn't like dirt or gravel, it was soft. Like grass,

"What the crap?!" I thought and stood up, it was pitch black but I could see like night vision after a little bit.

"Thanks dad," I whispered and started walking around the place, even though it felt like grass it sounded like heels on stone.

I heard voices and stopped dead, I looked around and saw a small group, one girl and two boys.

"What the?" I said and ducked, not much cover out in the open but hey, it's all I could do.

"For some reason, I know them" I said and looked closer, they turned and started walking away from where I was.

I wanted to yell for them to stop but that would've been stupid,

"I have to find out who they are!" I said and carefully followed them keeping my distance.

So sorry it's short!, I had writers block FOREVER!.
