Annabeth sat down while Jason began his tale:
We were in a cave about the size of this room. We had followed the prophecy to that spot. All of a sudden, Chaos appeared,
"Chaos?" Annabeth interrupted, "The first god?"
"Yes, the first god." Jason replied with an annoyed look on his face, "Now if you'll let me continue."
Chaos told us that he'd leave us alone if one of us swore on the river Styx to do something for him. Percy volunteered. He swore on the river Styx and all of a sudden he was gone. Chaos had disappeared too. We searched the cave,but there was no sign of them. I'm afraid he's gone, Annabeth.
Annabeth couldn't stop sobbing.
"Is he really gone?" She asked, "Did you check with Nico?"
Jason nodded.
"He did say that was unlike any other death he had sensed, even Leo's."
Annabeth stopped crying.
"You mean he could be alive?" She asked hopefully.
He shrugged.
"Nico said it's a possibility."
"Do you have people looking for him?"
Jason nodded.
"Everyone is searching for him."
Annabeth got up.
"Thank you for giving me this information." She said without emotion.
Jason got up.
"I'll tell you if there is any news."
He promptly left, leaving Annabeth alone with her thoughts.
Percy was alone in a bedroom that wasn't his. He got up and went out of the walked down a long corridor and went down a steep flight of stairs.
"Ah" A voice said, "I was wondering when you'd be up."
Percy turned around to face Chaos.
"What am I doing here?" He asked, "Where am I?"
"You swore you'd be with me for ten years." Chaos replied.
Percy stared at him in horror.
"You tricked me!"
Chaos smiled mischievously.
"You swore on the river Styx you'd do something for me and I chose that you'd be with me for ten years. How is that unfair?"
"Ten years?" Percy asked.
Chaos nodded.
"I get quite lonely sometimes and you'll help me pass the time." He walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Ten years will pass in the blink of an eye, I promise." He assured Percy, "It always does for me."
Percy wasn't sure what to say. He kept thinking that he wouldn't see Annabeth for ten years.
"Come over here," Chaos began, interrupting his thoughts, "And we can play a board game." Monopoly suddenly appeared on the coffee table in front of the couch.
