Hey Guys/Gals! I'm sorry that I haven't updated in at least a month but I had school, and projects due...not a great excuse but it's the best one I have. So enjoy this chapter and Happy Holidays!

P.S. This chapter is longer than my other ones so I hope that it makes up for the long wait. I hope you enjoy!

Percy's Pov (didn't see that one coming did ya?)

As I shoved Riptide through my heart all I could feel was a searing pain. My eyes started to lose sight as I fell to the floor. Once my body hit the floor, I heard a gasp from someone else before my vision faded to darkness.

I opened my eyes and I couldn't see anything. I looked around trying to see where I was. Was I in Tartarus? I was an immortal being now so shouldn't that be where I was? It did explain the pitch black surrounding I was in now. All of the sudden I saw a white light shining in front of me. I walked towards it wondering what it might be, before walking through.

All I could see before I went unconscious was two dark brown eyes.

Rosalinda's Pov

I waded up shore muttering to myself. "Stupid Hecate...stupid quest...stupid Circe…"

I remembered the stupid quest I was on because of two magical items…

*Flashback*

I was wandering around camp bored out of my mind when the horn rang for lunch. I walked to the pavilion, and to the Ares table, and sat down waiting for the nymphs to bring out the food. As we waited, there was a flash in the pavilion and Hecate appeared.

She walked up to me and said, "You must go find two magical items that I require and do it fast. You shall go alone. One of the items is a book and the other is a compass. Bring them to me, and I shall give you a fabulous reward. But I shall give you this magical boat. It will transport you where you need to be." She flashed away and everyone was silent.

I stood up and went to Rachel's cave. I knocked and heard, "Come in!" I walked inside and I walked up to Rachel and sat down in front of her.

"How can I find the items Hecate wants?" I asked.

Green mist poured from Rachel's mouth and she told me the prophecy,

"You shall go south to the Sea of Monsters,

You shall find the Witch's items of Honor,

But land on the island of the Hero done Rue,

But return to camp with only one item of two."

I went to the beach where I got into the boat Hecate had given me, and I was immediately flashed past Scylla and Charybdis. I sighed in relief and started to row to where I hoped Circe's island was, because for all I know there was no other witch in the Sea of Monsters.

I saw land a day later and rowed to it as fast as I could. Upon arrival, there were massive parts of the island missing and parts of the wall were torn down. 'this is what Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase did?' I thought. It was well known that those two had pretty much destroyed the island when they let Blackbeard and his pirates out of the spell put on them.

I wandered through the rubble trying to find someone or anyone. I saw a swish of purple cloth ahead of me and I decided to follow the person or thing. I saw that it was a beautiful women who owned the purple cloth. she was holding a book in her hands and walking to one of the only still intact buildings. I followed her inside the building and discovered that it was her bedroom. She placed down the book and went into an adjacent room.

I looked at the book and discovered it was the one I was looking for. It said on the cover, 'A Beginners Guide to Magic, even the non Gifted.' I took the book and started rummaging around her desk looking for the compass. When I found it it said 'Points to your Desire.' I took it and was about to leave when Circe came out of the other room and saw me. "Well hello there child. Where did you come from and why are you in my room?" She said and then she saw what was in my hands and her face grew red from rage. "Thief!" She bellowed. She said a spell and I was launched off the island and towards another island, looking desolate besides a cabin. I landed in the water and got up before walking ashore.

*Flashback end*

I started walking to the cabin I saw while in the sky. When I finally found it, I gasped at how wonderful it looked before going inside. I walked through the huge hall and looked inside every room, finally coming to the last room in the cabin. When I opened the door, the first thing I saw was a guy with a sword impaled in his stomach. I gasped as I saw the life fade from his eyes and his body hitting the floor. I ran up to his body and put it on the bed. I knew he was dead and I wondered why he killed himself. I heard something come from his body and I looked at him. His body was convulsing on the bed, and was freaking me out a little. When he stopped I moved closer to him and saw that he was breathing and the sword and wound were gone.

'What the hell?' I thought before I looked into his once lifeless eyes. But when I looked into them, they were filled with life. I saw him look into my eyes for a few seconds before he went into an unconscious state.

OK peoples! Thanks for reading! Favorite and follow me or my story. Please review and hope that I can write more chapters in less of a waiting time.
