Percy POV,

When I first entered the upside down ship/palace, I expected a gloomy interior like a normal ship, but instead I got a super comfortable place with fluffy couches and throw pillows everywhere. For beds the ship had rows of hammocks, some were occupied with sleeping warriors, and the oar slots provided great windows. Miles lead me past all that to the far end of the ship where a throne stood.

When we approached the throne, I was really able to get a good look at who sat in it. She had beautiful blond hair and a necklace full of diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, and though I wouldn't admit it out loud, she was even prettier than Aphrodite. Freya smiled at me, "Percy Jackson! Welcome to Folkvangr!" She looked behind me and smiled again, " Miles, you may go now". Miles bowed and turned around to leave, when he was gone Freya turned back to me and smiled again, "Don't worry Percy, its a lot of fun here you'll love it!" I didn't doubt that it was fun in Folkvangr, but I had to get back, I had to see Annabeth. She was probably devastated because I went and died, even though she was always telling me not to.

"Umm, Freya, I came to ask if I could leave and go back to my friends. And to ask why I came here instead of Elysium." She looked a little surprised at my question and looked at me strangly, " Well first off, Your dead, and all your friends and family know that by now so you can't just go up to them and say hi. " she sighed, "And I suppose they didn't tell you but the reason you didn't go to Elysium is because of a deal Poseidon made to keep peace between the gods." "Wait! What deal!" I asked her. She sighed again, " Well, during the last Giant War Poseidon and Njord got into a little...disagreement but with the war going on Poseidon couldn't afford another godly war, so as a gesture of peace he said that when you died you would come to Folkvangr. "

I surprisingly wasn't shocked to learn this but I still pretty mad, especially since I may never see Annabeth again. I must of looked pretty sad and desperate because Freya smiled sadly, "Its not that bad here, we have plenty of fun stuff to do like Volleyball, Combat, and tonight we're even having a Talent Show!" She snapped her fingers "Speaking of talent shows" she said" I'm gonna need some new ear rings! " It looked to me like she had plenty of ear rings, since there were piles of jewelry surrounding the throne, but I wasn't about to argue with a goddess. She smiled, "I guess I'll just have to ask my two favorite boys!"

She stood up and I stepped to the side, suddenly a bright gold light was in the middle of the room , when the light dispersed two guys stood in the center. They both looked super confused, one was super well dressed and looked like he was shopping before he here. The other held a sword but was covered in so much blood I couldn't make out much else. Freya smiled, " Hello boys! " The blood covered guy started looking around the room slowly, as it checking to make sure it was clear, "Hello, Aunt Freya, How are..." His eyes widened when he saw me, "Percy!?"
