I had a dream this time around, I wasn't anyone I was floating around like a ghost, Percy was here and Annabeth...And a familiar face, Nico.

The last one, I didn't recognize. It was a girl with red hair and green eyes. She was with Annabeth, there were talking about architecture, stuff that puts me to sleep. Anyway, Percy and Nico were talking, "Thanks for helping us, Nico. And one more thing...Don't blame Wyatt for...You know."

Nico shoulders slumped, "I know, Wyatt made it very clear that he doesn't want any more guilt piled on him. He actually made me feel sorry for acting that way...But I still feel a little mad about...The way she died."

After that I woke up, "Wyatt!" Thalia was shaking me. "Artemis told me we're heading out." She told me. I woke up, "Thanks."

I went to Artemis, "So how are we getting through all those monsters?"

Artemis observed me and smiled, "Looks like you got all your power back. Good, because we're actually going to go right past all of them." I tilted my head, "And how do we do that...Oooohh...I see." I finally got it. She wants me to turn everyone invisible.

Artemis smirked, "We leave as soon as everything is put away."

I went to take down my tent and get everything that I owned...Which wasn't much. Anyway, once I was done, everyone was waiting for me, I'm always the last one to get my tent down. I don't get why they're so good at taking these stuff down.

"Alright, everyone, this is the same as shadow traveling, kind of. All you have to do is grab someone, it doesn't matter what you're grabbing onto, as long as it's connected to that person then this will work." I told everyone.

They shrugged and did what I asked. As soon as everyone was holding someone, I turned us invisible, "Listen carefully, never let go of the person in front of you, if you do, then all the people behind you will be visible to everything." I warned everyone. It's pretty simple, no hunter would mess something like this up.

We made it ten feet up the mountain when we heard our first monsters. "Shh..." I whispered. No one answered back, good.

Fifth-teen feet now, and we started to hear a lot more. We kept moving forward. When we reached twenty feet up the mountain, we found a fortress. "Careful, fool," Some monster scolded. "One touch, and the blade will sever your soul from your body."

"Maybe I'll let you unwrap it, then." Someone else said, this one was mortal, not the mortal, mortals, I mean a demi-god mortal. That sounds weird, but you know what I mean. I looked up, where a black marble fortress loomed.

"There!" the same monster said. Reverently, he lifted the weapon, and my blood turned to ice.

It was a scythe—a six foot-long blade curved like a crescent moon, with a wooden handle wrapped in leather. The blade glinted two different colors— steel and bronze.

"We must sanctify it in blood," the monster said. "Then you, half-blood, shall help present it when the lord awakes."

"Lord?" I whispered. I felt Artemis squeeze my hand, "We were too late, Kronos is about to come back."

I started to go forward inside the fortress, I picked up my pace. We dashed through a dark foyer and into the main hall. The floor shined like a mahogany piano—pure black and yet full of light. Black marble statues lined the walls. I didn't recognize the faces, but I knew I was looking at images of the Titans who'd ruled before the gods. At the end of the room, between two bronze braziers, was a dais. And on the dais, the golden sarcophagus.

The room was silent except for the crackle of the fires. Luke wasn't here. No guards. Nothing. As I was about to move forward Artemis stopped me, "This is too easy...Don't do anything reckless."

I stood there and watched the thing. Something was strange though, I could see steam, like when it's really cold and then your breath comes out as steam whenever you breathe, and then it dawned on me, "Percy...?"

It got closer to the golden sarcophagus, whoever that was, they were right at the golden sarcophagus. I started to hear voices coming towards us, I looked back and then I heard a huge WHOOOOM! I looked back at the sarcophagus. It was on the ground, "That has to be Percy." I whispered to Artemis.

"Maybe..." She said.

Soon those monsters came running in, "What has happened!" one them screamed when he saw the lid.

"Careful!" the other warned. "Perhaps he stirs. We must present the gifts now. Immediately!"

The two monsters shuffled forward and knelt, holding up the scythe on its wrapping cloth. "My lord," one said. "Your symbol of power is remade."

Silence. Nothing happened in the coffin.

"You fool," the other muttered. "He requires the half-blood first."

The half-blood behind them stepped back. "Whoa, what do you mean, he requires me?"

"Don't be a coward!" the first monster hissed. "He does not require your death. Only your allegiance. Pledge him your service. Renounce the gods. That is all."

This can't be good, I have to do something.

"No!" someone yelled. And then Percy appeared out of nowhere. "Ethan, don't!"

"Trespasser!" The monsters bared their seal teeth. "The master will deal with you soon enough. Hurry, boy!"

"Ethan," Percy pleaded, "don't listen to them. Help me destroy it."

Ethan turned toward Percy, his eye patch blending in with the shadows on his face. His expression was something like pity. "I told you not to spare me, Percy. 'An eye for an eye.' You ever hear that saying? I learned what it means the hard way—when I discovered my godly parent. I'm the child of Nemesis, Goddess of Revenge. And this is what I was made to do."

He turned toward the dais. "I renounce the gods! What have they ever done for me? I will see them destroyed. I will serve Kronos."

The building rumbled. A wisp of blue light rose from the floor at Ethan Nakamura's feet. It drifted toward the coffin and began to shimmer, like a cloud of pure energy. Then it descended on the sarcophagus.

Someone I recognized sat bolt up from the sarcophagus, Luke. His eyes opened, and they were no longer blue. They were golden, the same color as the coffin. The hole in his chest was gone. He was complete. He leaped out of the coffin with ease, and where his feet touched the floor, the marble froze like craters of ice.

He looked at Ethan and the monsters with those horrible golden eyes, as if he were a newborn baby, not sure what he was seeing. Then he looked at Percy, and a smile of recognition crept across his mouth.

I've had enough, "Kronos!" My blood boiled.

I let go of Artemis, "No Wyatt!" she called after me, but she was too late. I was already charging towards him. Kronos ignored me, "This body has been well prepared." His voice was like a razor blade running over my skin. It was Luke's, but not Luke's. Underneath his voice was another, more horrible sound—an ancient, cold sound like metal scraping against rock. "Don't you think so, Percy Jackson?"

"Don't ignore me!" I shouted and used the winds to blast towards him, he was a second to late, I tackled him to the ground, he tried to get me off, but I had the advantage, he's still not used to mortal bodies. I hit him right in the face, he barely took any damage, that was weird.

He kicked me off and got up, I did the same, "I have no business with a traitor!" He said coldly, I gritted through my teeth, "I was never on your side to begin with!"

As I was distracting Kronos, Percy was creeping up behind him. As Percy was about to slash Kronos in the back he stopped. I realized Kronos froze him in time. Two can play at that game.

I unfroze Percy, Kronos looked at me with annoyance, "A cheap replica of my power is no match for the real thing!"

"Let's test that out thing!" I shot back at him.

Now it's a battle of power, I have more than him, since he's in a mortal body he won't be able to use a lot of him power, hopefully. He slowed me and charged towards me, I did the same, but I can used the winds to always pick up my speed and tackled him again, we both released our powers and everything went back to normal. "Alert the guards!" Kronos scowled.

"Oh, you running away?" I said with a smug smile.

Thanks for reading!
