Chapter 26: Instruction and revelations

So here is the next chapter. This is just a setting the scene chapter. I know it's not much but I thought that I just couldn't kept you waiting so much especially when now I that have another story to update. I know it is short but for the time being it is the best I can do. Maybe I can write more on the weekend but only time will tell.

I don't own any of this except for the plotline

Read, enjoy, and review!

Percy's POV

I told the others to stop once we were a close to the place where Artemis is holding the sky. I needed to tell them some instructions before the upcoming battle.

"Bianca, when I give you the signal you know what to do," I told her.

She nodded.

"Grover, you aren't supposed to be here but that can't be helped now so use your pipes to summon many wooden stakes to keep the enemies at bay," I said.

He nodded.

"Zoë I have a plan to save Artemis," I told her. "Fight if you must but, whatever you do, stay away from Atlas."

She nodded.

"Thalia, I know you and Luke have history but he will be there, he will try to lure you to the dark side and I need you to snap out of it if he gets to you," I told her. "Do you think you can do that?"

"He betrayed all of us," Thalia said with an evil glare. "As far as I am concerned he is an enemy and if I have to kill him I will," She declared.

"Good to know you won't fell for his tricks but no matter what you do to him he won't get hurt," I said grim.

Eveyone looked confused.

"What do you mean?" Thalia asked.

"I mean that Luke bathed in the river Styx and now he is invulnerable," I informed.

They all gasped.

"Now he is like Achilles?" Zoë asked surprised; after all, she has met Achilles.

"He is not nearly as strong or skilled as Achilles but he still has the same effect of invulnerability," I claimed.

"And how do you know that?" Grover asked me.

"Nico figures it out in the future and he is supposed to tell it to me," I reveled. "He also suggests me to bath in it to have a chance to beat Kronos."

Bianca blinked.

"My brother is supposed to suggest you to become like Achilles?" She asked surprised.

I nodded.

"And do you want to?" Zoë asked me.

"To be honest not really," I confessed. "That curse can make me powerful but I believe it is more trouble that it is worth. I will use another way."

"What way?" Thalia asked.

I didn't answered but I thought: Hecate's way, whatever it may be.

Yes, I know this is probably the shortest chapter I have ever done for the sequel but I really wanted to update and this was designed to be a setting the scene chapter. I will try to update from this coming Friday to the next Monday.
