For the first time since delivering the Athena Parthenos, Reyna wasn't able to control her dreams. She wasn't sure if it was due to the fact that she kept thinking about what she said to Frank or just being in a strange place without her dogs at her side. Reyna tried to look at her surroundings, but everything was murky and hard to see. It felt like a weight was dragging her down.

Reyna tried to move her arms, but it felt like she was moving through jello. Reyna slowly looked around and watched a fish swim by her face. Her breath hitched for a moment, and she realized that she was underwater. Her breathing sounded heavy, thanks to the rebreather that she wore. Reyna slowly moved through the water. Her hand hit the flashlight that was at her side, and it flickered back on.

Reyna stared at the sunken ship in front of her. She slowly made her way towards a small hole in the ship. It was barely large enough for her to slip through, especially with the oxygen tank on her back. Reyna placed both hands to the hole and slowly pulled herself inside.

A shaky breath left her, and the oxygen tank seemed to weigh ten more pounds. Reyna did everything in her power to keep from taking deep breaths and wasting the precious oxygen that she had left. Her eyes swept around the ship.

Her boots crunched on the ground and something that sounded like bone. Reyna did an awkward half swim half walk towards the stairs that led further down into the ship. There was nothing on the second deck, except for a few pieces of bone and wood.

Reyna made her way down to the third deck. The desk was covered in chairs, tables, weapons, and skeletons. All of it floated through the water. She slowly pushed her way through all of the wreckage and made her way to a room at the far end of the ship. Reyna grabbed onto the door and tried to open it.

When nothing budged, she was forced to moved backwards and examine the door. Half of a rusted lock was on the door, but when she removed it, she still couldn't open the door. Reyna slowly turned around and grabbed the sword with the least amount of rust that she could find. Reyna used the sword to pry off the hinges of the door.

Reyna swam into the room and looked around. Her gaze focused on the black box that floated in the middle of the room, and she swam towards it. Reyna grabbed the box and examined it. The box was covered in Greek writing and below that was symbols she had never seen before. She opened it slightly. Reyna shined the light inside and stared down at the three solid objects that rested in the box. They were black and almost looked like a heart that Reyna had seen in old horror movies.

This was the box that Blackbeard described. He really wanted it and claimed that it could be found at the bottom of the ship. Reyna closed the box and let go of it. If Blackbeard wanted the damn box so badly, he could swim down here himself and get it. Reyna shoved the box away.

Reyna slowly backed away and made it out of the room. Reyna swam towards the stairs and carefully swam up them. She made it back towards the hole in the ship and slowly squeezed through it. The oxygen tank was starting to weigh more and more, and her muscles were screaming in pain.

Despite the pain in her muscles, she forced herself to kick up towards the surface of the water. Even though it probably only took a minute or two, it felt like it took years to break the surface of the water. Reyna tore off her rebreather and took deep breaths of fresh air. Two pirates grabbed onto her and pulled her out of the water.

One of the pirates helped her take the oxygen tank off. Reyna practically collapsed onto the deck, and she took deep, tired breaths. Another pirate offered her a canteen of water. He spoke, "Any luck down there?"

"No box," Reyna lied. She took a sip of the water and glanced down at the wet suit that she was wearing. Reyna felt one of the pirates grab her arm, and she winced at the nasty cut that was on her arm. "There was weapons and skeletons."

"The ship was sank by a mutiny," the pirate explained. He helped Reyna out of the wet suit. She shivered and looked down at the ragged shirt that she wore. The pirate gently poured clean water on her arm and helped bandage the wound. "Some say half the men went insane hearing a singing. They fought their friends and caused some of the gunpowder under the ship to explode. It sank straight to the bottom."

"Why does Blackbeard want it?" Reyna asked. She shivered and looked down. Blackbeard would be in his office, going over the results of his latest raid with Hylla. She had quickly earned the pirate captain's respect and been keeping both of them safe.

"Blackbeard thinks that the mutiny was caused by how valuable the treasure was, and the few survivors made up that story to buy themselves time," the pirate answered. He helped Reyna stand. "We saved some food for you."

Reyna nodded and looked down at the ground. She heard thunder roar and quickly looked up. The pirate gripped her shoulder, and they heard another roar, but it wasn't from the thunder. Reyna felt the ship shake, and the deck disappeared from underneath her.

Reyna's eyes snapped open, and she quickly sat up. She could still hear the deafening clap of thunder. Her heart was racing, and she slowly laid back against the bed. It only took a few moments for two concerned faces to look down at her.

"You okay?" Annabeth asked. Reyna managed a small nod. She closed her eyes as she remembered the sea monster that had attacked them. They barely escaped, and it was only by Hylla's quick thinking that they did. It also marked the moment that Blackbeard began to plot on how to get rid of them.

"Just a dream," Reyna said. She took a moment to even out her breathing and calm down. It seemed like she had woken up only Malcolm and Annabeth, unless they were already awake. Reyna slowly sat up again, knowing she wouldn't being able to fall back asleep.

"Was it a demigod dream that warned of someone in trouble?" Malcolm asked. Reyna shook her head. "Just a regular nightmare then?"

"More like reliving a memory," Reyna answered. She shivered. "It was back with Blackbeard. He wanted me to find some kind of sunken treasure, and when I found it, I left it there. We were attacked by a sea monster as soon as I made it back to the ship. It was probably the protector of the wreck."

"I's almost breakfast time," Annabeth said. Reyna nodded slightly and stood. She watched Annabeth wake the rest of her siblings. Reyna shook her head and looked away. She just needed to forget her dream and shake the feeling that something was wrong.

Breakfast was rather uneventful, especially since the children of Minerva, well Athena, were talking about their homework. What kind of conversation was that? Who just sat there, talked about homework, and actually enjoyed themselves?

Reyna mostly picked at her food, unable to shake her dream. The children of Athena would spare glances at her, but they didn't question her about it. Annabeth kept studying her in clear concern. Reyna kept trying to avoid the gaze, not wanting to explain that she was worried about nothing.

As they all stood to leave, they heard a yell from across the camp. Reyna's hand moved to her sword, but she saw a child of Mars stand on the table and scream, "Derek!"

"Marvin!" a voice, presumably Derek, yelled back. Reyna glanced at Annabeth. There was an annoyed look on Annabeth's face. Marvin jumped off of the table and started to run. Before he could fully leave the dinner pavilion, someone slammed into him. "Marvin!"

"Derek!" Marvin yelled as he was lifted from his feet. He looked up at the sky. "Clarisse!"

"Looks like they made it back," Annabeth muttered. Reyna studied the two children of Mars. They were practically yelling their names at each other. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Clarisse walk into the pavilion. There was a huge grin on her face and a bag in her hands. Clarisse pulled a box out of the bag and placed it on a table near her siblings.

As Reyna looked at the box, her breath caught in her throat. It was the same box from her dream. The only difference now was the symbols below the writing were gone. Could it really be the same box though? Reyna had left the damn thing buried at the bottom of the sea.

"I know you normally do this, Chiron, but I want to make the speech about my successful return," Clarisse said. After a moment, Chiron gave a nod. Clarisse smiled and stood on top of the table. She looked around. "To everyone who said that this quest was fake, you can suck it, especially the nerds. That is all."

Clarisse jumped off of the table, and her siblings immediately surrounded her. They seemed to be trying to get a glance of what was inside the box. Reyna slowly stood and made her way towards the table. She could see the open box had more writing on the lid, but no one paid attention to it.

Inside the box, three blackened hearts rested. It seemed like the bottom of the box had been molded perfectly to fit the hearts in it. Reyna stared. Those were the same hearts from her dream. Did she have the dream for this reason? Or, was she just getting that dream because she was in the Greek camp and all of the weird things happened there?

A hand grasped Reyna's shoulders, knocking her out of her thoughts. She glanced at Clarisse, and the daughter of war grinned at her. Clarisse spoke, "They actually managed to drag you here? I'm surprised."

"I had to," Reyna said with a small shrug. Her gaze stayed focused on the box, but she finally sighed and shook her head. "It's a good thing you returned in one piece, so I can beat you at sparring."

"I can't wait to embarrass you," Clarisse sneered, but a smirk quickly came to her face. Reyna smirked as well. She had sparred with Frank plenty of times, and he was a good opponent. Clarisse had been training longer than Frank, and she was a Greek. Her fighting style was going to make no sense and be chaotic. It would be a challenge, especially since Clarisse was a seasoned warrior.

"Roman!" a voice yelled. Reyna glanced around. Everyone in the dinner pavilion was still looking at Clarisse and the box. No one seemed to make any movement of recognition, so it didn't seem like anyone there was named Roman. Who was yelling then?

Reyna's answer came as two hands wrapped around her waist, pinning her arms to her side. She was picked off of the ground and trapped in a tight hug. Reyna turned her head and caught the beady little eyes of her Faun friend. She spoke, "It's nice to see you too."

"If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have gone on the quest," Hedge said, and he placed Reyna back on the ground. Reyna studied Hedge. He had a few scrapes and bruises on him, but he looked otherwise unharmed. Why was he going on a quest though?

"You went on the quest with Clarisse and the yelling child of Mars?" Reyna asked. Hedge smiled and nodded. "Why?"

"Clarisse needed backup," Hedge said, and he puffed his chest out. "Who would be better than me?"

A lot of answers ran throughout Reyna's head. Hedge was a good friend to her, but he also had a family. Why was he going on a quest that he didn't need to go on? It wasn't like that single line of the prophecy called for him directly. There was no need to go out on a quest and possibly have something terrible happen.

"I'm just glad you made it back safe. Who else is going to keep my visit entertaining?" Reyna asked. She smiled and noticed that everyone was starting to settle back down. Rachel and Chiron were standing by the box that Clarisse held. "What was the prophecy?"

"Well, you know how Rachel's powers are broke, right?" Hedge asked. Reyna nodded and sat on a table. She kept her gaze on the box. "She received two things in a dream: that single line of the prophecy and a location. Clarisse took that information and managed to find a shipwreck."

"Was there a sea monster?" Reyna asked. Hedge shook his head. Reyna nodded once and crossed her arms. "Any idea what those hearts are?"

"I think they belonged to some famous sailors or pirates," Hedge answered. He glanced at Reyna. "It doesn't really matter. I know that Chiron only put this quest together to give Clarisse one last adventure. Clarisse has been a part of this camp for so long that Chiron wanted to honor her in some way before she leaves."

"That doesn't sound weird to you?" Reyna asked. She sighed and looked down. "Did Chiron put the box in that shipwreck, or did he know it was going to be there?"

"It was just the location that Rachel received," Hedge replied. He grabbed Reyna's arm and practically dragged him towards Nico's table. They both sat down by Nico. "It's nothing to worry about. We found the shipwreck without any issue. Clarisse is a little upset there was no fight."

"She'll have enough of a fight tomorrow," Nico commented. He showed Hedge a list. "We're all betting on who is going to win. My bets are on Reyna."

"I'll put my money on Reyna too," Hedge said. He looked at Reyna. "Don't let me down, Roman."

"You may as well double down," Reyna said with a grin. She focused on her table and grabbed her plate of food. Reyna really needed to relax and calm down. This was suppose to be a vacation. She didn't to worry about other people's fake quest that involved hearts in a box. Besides, what was the worst that could happen?
