I am super, super, super, sorry! I haven't updated in along time and apologize, please forgive me! This chapter isn't super long but I had to get something out their. I probably won't update for awhile after this either because school is starting again and I have writers block. Enjoy chapter 5 and tell me what you think!

I am not Rick Riorian and I do not own or claim rights to the books or charcter.

Enjoy!

Percy POV

We landed in a heap on the ground somewhere, and not in fluffy green grass, we landed on cold hard asphalt. I heard a groan to my left and tried to stand up but there was a stabbing pain in my right leg, spots danced in front of eyes and I fell back down. I heard someone curse in some weird language to my right. It was probably Magnus cursing in Old Norse. Magnus got up knelt beside me, "You okay"

I was tempted to lie and say I was fine, I've through way worse than this, way worse than this, and didn't want to look weak in front of my girlfriend's cousin. But I knew I would look even more stupid limping around on a broken leg. Magnus could heal me with a single touch so it would be stupid to say no. I looked at Magnus, "I'm pretty sure I broke my leg" I answered truthfully. Magnus regarded this with a nod and put his hand on my leg. He closed his eyes and I felt warmth radiate through my leg. He opened his eyes and stood up. "Better?" He asked. I felt fine so I nodded my head and stood up.

I looked around. We appeared to be in a alley, there were trash cans lining the sides and a stray cat in the corner. so basically we could be in any alley in America. At least I hoped we were in the US and not some other country like Italy or Greece. I didn't have very found memories of those places and really wished we were some where that we could get help and not get attacked my monsters or angry gods. Someplace like New York, Boston, San Francisco, and heck I would even take my chances at Brooklyn.

I looked over at Magnus and Blitzen to see if they had any clue where we are. Blitzer was looking around to, but he looked surprised like he knew where we were and couldn't believe we where here. And Magnus was grinning like a madman but didn't look to surprised like he almost expected us to land where ever we landed.

"Well Percy, I cannot believe our luck." Magnus said while turning around in a circle.

I looked around the alley but didn't see any signs pointing to where we are. "So, I take it you know where we are?."

Magnus smiled, "We're in Boston, only a few blocks from the entrance to Valhalla ."


Magnus POV

I couldn't believe our luck, we landed right in Boston. The World Tree always seems to get you exactly where you need to go. I recognized the alley instantly, I know Boston like the back of my hand and had slept in this alley a couple times. Percy seemed really surprised to have had something to right, I don't blame him, he has the worst luck than anyone else I know or probably will know. He's been through two wars and countless quests, and just when start to look up, he dies and goes to a foreign afterlife.

"Well, we better get going, we don't want stand here and wait for monsters to attack" Blitz said.

Not wanting to get attacked by monsters, we headed out of the alley and towards Valhalla. Being the person I am and not wanting to talk in silence I decided to ask Percy the question that had been bothering me since I saw him in Folkvangr.

"So Percy, you don't have to answer if you don't want to. But how did you die?"

Percy stopped, and for a second I thought he wasn't going to answer, "Me and Annabeth taking a walk on the beach just out side of camp," Percy sighed and continued walking, "We were just walking not paying much attention" Percy shuttered, "suddenly we were surrounded by monsters, over 100 of them. We brought out weapons and started to fight." Percy ran his fingers through his hair, " we decided the best chance we had was to make a run for camp. I told Annabeth to go ahead and I would be right behind her. I fought of the monsters for a little while longer to try to give her a head start, but just as I turned to run" Percy took a ragged breath, "just as I turned to run, an Empousa stabbed me with an Imperial gold, straight through the heart."

" gods..." I said , because honestly what else could you say.

"At the worst part Magnus," Percy looked at me with a shattered look in his eyes "I don't even know if Annabeth made it to camp"

I didn't know what to say, Percy has been through so much, more than anyone should have to go through, and more just keeps happening. And Annabeth... I just hope she's okay and we can get Percy back to her. She already lost him once when Hera put her master plan into action and could only imagine what Annabeth was feeling right now. When we got back to Valhalla, I would try to call her to see how she's doing, and well, if she was even alive.

"We're here." Blitz said. And sure enough we were right in front of the entrance to Valhalla.

"Well Percy, welcome to Valhalla"
