Chapter 15

Adrian POV

We had begun our journey on the Big Banana, and went to see some friends. Specifically, everyone else our parents knew. We went to Brooklyn to talk to some Egyptians, Carter and Sadie Kane, Carter's girlfriend, Zia Rashid, and Sadie's boyfriend, Walt Stone.

They all said they were coming, even though there were some questions.

"I don't get it. Nut is pretty cool." Sadie said.

"Yeah. Ouranos is not Nut, though." Psyche replied.

"Fair enough."

Then, we went to Boston, to pick up some Norse people. Magnus' girl/boyfriend, Alex Fierro, Mallory Keen, and her boyfriend Halfborn Gunderson, a dwarf, Blitzen, and a deaf elf, Hearthstone. There was also Samirah al-Abbas, but she had to prepare for her wedding with Amir Fadlan.

"I'm not even going to question this." Mallory said.

"Come on, Mack. It'll be fun." Magnus teased.

"You have a very twisted definition of fun, Beanpole." She retorted.

"Have a nice wedding, sis!" Alex yelled back at Sam.

After that, we were good to go. We all used some magic to make the ship sail itself.

I added legs to it, so we could walk on land.

The Argo III I call it.

OoO

Day 17: It's been a while on the sea. Psyche's been waking up later. Logan has become more emotional. May is looking for Titans, but, no one knows where they are. I have been talking with everyone else, to figure out how to stop Ouranos. We have no luck.

Then, we all heard screaming coming from Psyche's room. We ran in to see what was happening, and she was asleep, tossing and turning, breathing like she was suffocating. We tried waking her up, but she couldn't. All we could do was wait for her to wake up.

Psyche POV

After a few days at sea, I had a lot to think about. If I almost died, fighting one Titan, how could I fare against twelve? They said it would take the spawn of great heroes to destroy them. And mine are some of the greatest heroes of all time. But I'm not my parents. I'm not like that. What if I can't do anything? Now, I just lay awake at night at 4am, not even closing my eyes to blink. When I finally fell asleep last night, I had some crazy dream.

(WARNING: the following scene contains disturbing imagery. If you are uncomfortable, please skip this section.)

I was on top of Mount Othrys. All twelve titans were standing around me. They all had their weapons drawn, with smirks on their faces.

"Well, Miss Jackson. It seems you have failed. Allow me to show your consequence." Hyperion said with a deathly gentle tone. He reached behind Iapetus (Bob? No!) and revealed a trophy case, and on it, was heads. There was Logan's, May's Adrian's, Mom and Dad. Tears of blood started to pour from their eyes.

"You could have saved us." Mom said, as the tears poured from her eyes.

No. No. This can't be happening. Then, Kronos grabbed me by the neck, and dragged me over to Atlas, looking smug, despite his position.

"Hello, son." Iapetus said. "I'm afraid, we'll have to remove you from your position." He said.

"Thank you." Atlas replied.

"Now, Jackson, get under there. Unless, you would prefer someone else take the burden?" he asked, gesturing to everyone else. They were all in pain, with scars and cuts all over their bodies. I couldn't let them go through that.

"No, I'll do it." I said.

As I got under the sky, and Atlas got out, I saw the Titans performing some ritual to awake Ouranos. Some magical shackles chained themselves to my ankles. It seemed easy enough to get out of, Atlas got some swords.

"Just so you don't try to escape. This might sting a little." He said sadistically. He took them, and impaled my hands to the sky. I cried out in pain, and he laughed. Everyone laughed as Ouranos finally came into being. He took one look at me, raised his fist, and sent it crashing down onto me. Right before the impact, I saw a blinding light, and-

Logan POV

When Psyche finally woke up, she started screaming with tears streaming down her face. Her eyes had a broken, desperate look in them. She flopped into her pillow and sobbed. We waited until she stopped, and asked what happened.

"Some dream. I'm fine. It's probably nothing." She said.

"You sure? You can talk about it." I replied.

"I said I'm fine."

I know she's going through a lot, but she's never acted like this.
