Chapter 13: The City
Ten Years Ago...
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover walked through the city of Manhattan. They would need to contact the gods in order to help them in their upcoming battle against Typhon. There was no way they alone could stop Typhon. They would need the assistance of Percy's father, Typhon.
Percy had seen visions of Typhon in the future. He had seen Typhon falling into the abyss of the underworld via an earthquake Poseidon had created in order to stop him. Percy needed these visions to occur sooner. That way, maybe... just MAYBE... they could also save tomorrow from Kronos and prevent him from arising ten years from now.
Percy turned to face his friends and said, "I need you guys to take this to where the Hudson River and the East River meet. Take this."
Percy held out his sand dollar that his father gave him last year.
"Use it wisely. They'll expect payment."
Grover stared at Percy, "Who will?"
"It doesn't matter. Just do it."
Grover took the dollar. He nodded and patted Percy's shoulder.
Grover stated, "Take care of yourself, Percy."
Annabeth walked up to Percy and kissed his cheek. She sighed, "Be careful."
"I will," Percy assured Annabeth.
And with that, Percy left his two friends on a journey to Atlantis.
...
Chris Rodriguez and Silena Beauregard flew over the Atlantic Ocean towards Kronos's yacht, The Princess Andromeda. They had a plan to stop Kronos once and for all.
Silena looked over her shoulder and saw The Stoll Brothers riding on another pegasus with jars of Greek fire.
Their plan was simple: Silena and Chris would distract Kronos, giving the others enough time to coordinate where exactly they would drop the jars onto the ship. At the last second, Chris and Silena would run and fly away on their pegasus. And after that, it would all be over.
Silena sighed, "What if he knows, guys?"
Travis called out to Silena and said, "You'll do awesome! Just act like you didn't get caught!"
Connor smiled, "Just be yourself."
Silena smiled slightly, "Thanks guys. For everything."
Chris called out, "We're at the boat!"
Silena looked down and saw the yacht. It was floating still.
Silena calmly nodded, "Let's do this."
