We're off to see the King. . .

Austin's P.O.V. One week later

As I was sitting by the fire I began to think about what has happened this week so far and, I must say that it has been an. . . Interesting week to say the least. It started off by my darling brother Pollux waking me up at Gods only knows when, for what he called "an emergency campfire." To put it mildly I was not happy.

When we got to the campfire the announced something about another quest, in retrospect, I probably should have paid a little more attention. But I thought it did not concern me, oh how wrong I was. I was about to fall asleep again when my Brother spoke up, "It could also mean us!" Huh? What? I had thought. Pollux continued "The prophesy says 'Death and vine shall help you decide.' That could mean Dionysus as well . . . grape vines! It is one of my Dad's Symbols after all!" Pollux seemed a little anxious.

One of the boys near the campfire spoke up, Alex "Yes it is possible… what do you think Mel?" he said to the scary girl. Not that she was particularly menacing. It is just that there was literally darkness surrounding her, hey don't call me a girl but … it was creepy. Mel stood up "Do not call me Mel, Alexander!" she said and Alex grinned.

She continued, "Anyway, I think your right. It probably means Dionysus, as Demeter's specialty is not usually vine related. While one of the symbols of Dionysus is the grape vine."

Annabeth and Chiron seemed to consider this.

Chiron spoke first "It seems a Quest is in order! Melanie, you can choose two companions if you wish to."

"I do Chiron. The Prophecy is clear that I must have a child of Death and a Child of the vine."

Alex Translated "Hades and Dionysus" I nodded and knew that I would be the one going. Dad had lost Castor recently I would not let him loose Pollux as well. "And seeing as I am the only child of Hades here now, I guess I'm going." Alex said. Where is the other one? I thought.

But, I put that thought aside because Pollux was about to stand up. I stood up faster, so that they wouldn't even give him a chance. "I will go!" I had said.

Pollux looked like he was about to argue, but Mel cut him off "Well, then I have my companions! Alex, " She sent a death glare his way. "and . . ." She just now realized she did not know my name.

"Austin" I supplied. She nodded her thanks. Chiron nodded and everyone began to file out. Pollux said good luck to me. A girl ran up to Alex and hugged him. Percy shook his hand, while I left to go pack for the trip.

We left at dawn, and let's just say, my life would never be the same.


Melanie's P.O.V.

I was sitting by the fire thinking about one line of the prophecy 'the choice shall be made and chosen a side.' I'm scared that I will make the wrong choice when the time comes. I can't do this quest. I looked up at the boys. They were arguing about some video game. No, I corrected myself. I can't do this quest alone. It is about time for me to get out dinner. . .

"Alexander I disagree with you entirely! The prophecy clearly states 'the Shadow King's lair!' that would mean my father! Erebus is shadow and Darkness!" I said.

Alex glared at me and retorted "Does your father have a Lair?"

I faltered, I had not exactly thought about that. "No, I think not. But I heard from Nico that my Dad is having problems with egotistic ghosts . . . one of the calling himself the Shadow King. He has a lair somewhere in the southern part of the underworld. Mel you said yourself that Erebus did not steal Hades helm of Darkness." Alex said. I did didn't I? I thought.

"You say we must go to the Underworld?" I asked, ending the argument. Alex nodded, and then something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. Austin had shivered.

"What is wrong?" I asked him He looked up "I just don't exactly like the thought of going there. That's all, anyway how are we going to get there?"

"I had thought on that!" Alex said "Nico has taught me how to shadow travel and I think I can at least get us to the underworld." I was definitely impressed, he learned fast for a demigod. Not that I would know, I am a minor goddess.

"Good that solves that problem." I said "For now, both of you get some sleep. I will keep watch." they both nodded. None of us had slept a wink since we left the camp a week ago. I can imagine that they are really tired.

A few hour later I awoke to the sound of wolves.

Wait?! I fell asleep?! Not good!

Wolves!? Worse!
I turned to find a large gray wolf staring me in the face. The boys were knocked out and on the backs of another two wolves. I stood up slowly leaving my sword on the ground. These looked like the strays from Lupa's pack.

Roman wolves? Even worse.
The leader of the pack made me put the weapons on another wolf's back and to start walking towards what I would assume to be their den.

This is so not good!


Larissa's P.O.V.

Ok it has been a week since the members of the quests left and there has been no word from them whatsoever. I am really worried. Both Annabeth and Percy say not to, but I still can't help but worry! The activities I do every day help some, but not nearly enough. I guess I could go swimming or something. . .

"Hi Larissa!" Percy said from behind me, making me jump.

"Percy! Don't scare me like that! I swear you are just like Alex!"

Percy smiled. "how ya doing?"He asked. He and Annabeth are so far the only real friends I have made. No one else will really talk to me. I shouldn't exist in their minds. "I'm fine Percy thanks for asking" I gave him a small smile to prove my point. I hadn't smiled in a while apparently. "Look everybody! Larissa smiled! It is a miracle!" I punched him playfully and grinned.

He has known me for three weeks and he can already cheer me up like he has known me for a lifetime. I asked Annabeth why and she had said "that just Percy. He does that naturally." I suppose she is right.

"Want to go sword fighting with me?" he asked.

I shook my head quickly. "No way! You beat me way too easily!"

He smiled "But that's the point!" he said.

I faked a glare at him. "No."

He sighed defeated. "Fine, but at least be on my Capture the Flag team though?" He asked I nodded. I found out the first week that

A) I am good at capture the flag and

B) Percy is someone you want on your team!

He grinned at me."Awesome! If we can't go to the sword fighting arena can we at least go to the lake?"

He's probably board. "Can't you bug Annabeth?" I asked

"She is on Olympus"

"So you came to me instead?"

"You needed a friend!" he insisted. "And now, I need a friend to go canoeing with me!"

I shut the book I had read earlier and said "Fine Percy." He grabbed my hand and started running towards the lake nearly pulling my arm out of the socket in the process. At least now I have some company.


Nico's P.O.V

(Didn't see that one coming did ya?)

This time! This time I will find her! I thought determinedly. I made a beeline for Elysium and when I got to the gate I said hi to the gatekeeper

"Hey Simon!" He looked up and grinned at me.

"Why hello Nico, my boy! What do ya need this trip?"

I grinned. "I came here looking for my sister Bianca!" I was so happy I swear I was not touching the floor half the time! Simon looked in his book and frowned. Wait Frowned?! He can't frown!

He looked up at me and said "I'm so sorry Nico but it looks like she has chosen. She went to be reborn this morning." He looked at me with sad eyes. I could feel myself deflate. I wanted to cry, scream, and kick something all at the same time. Simon noticed. "Sorry Nico, but she is gone." I nodded and ran off.

Sometime later, I had somehow ended up in asphodel. I looked around trying to find a way out of the mass of ghosts, when I spied a ghost that did not seem right. She seemed to alive for a ghost. She had chocolate-brown curly hair and golden eyes. How can she be so alive? Unless. . . no! not possible, right? She couldn't be my sister, could she?

A few minutes later I decided that she has to be and that I would live up to my goal of bringing my sister home. I just will not specify which sister. I walked up to her fully intending to bring her out!


Annabeth's P.O.V.

I got back to camp in the middle of the Capture the Flag game. So I just went straight to my cabin and put down Daedalus' laptop, and my schematics. I smiled Olympus' rebuilding was going well and my boyfriend is right here within my grasp. Could my life get any better?

I walked towards the Dinning pavilion and stood next to Chiron. "Who is winning?" I asked.

Chiron looked down at me and smiled. "Ah Annabeth, nice to have you back, if you must know Poseidon cabin is winning" I smiled, that's my seaweed brain!

An hour later the game finished with Larissa winning the game for her cabin. Next week it would be Poseidon vs. Hestia. So exciting! I can't wait! I was sitting by the lake chatting with Larissa when Percy came up and asked to borrow me.

"Hey Lissa? Do you mind if I steal my girlfriend from you?" She stood up and shook her head

"Not a problem! I will see you guys at campfire!" she walked off.

"Hey seaweed brain, I heard your team won tonight."I said

"Yeah, well it was all Lissa. I just was on border patrol."

I frowned "Percy, the last time you were on border patrol you got attacked by a hell-hound!" He grimaced a bit at the memory then grinned.

"Well I think I have all my fingers and toes!" he joked.

"Yeah yeah, day's not over yet mister! So don't make me angry!" I fake glared.

"Is there anything I can do to appease your anger oh mighty Annabeth?" he asked, pretending to bow to me.

"You could kiss me already seaweed brain!" I prompted.

"Not a problem Wise Girl." He leaned in and kissed me.

It seemed like in no time at all the conch horn for Campfire sounded. "Do we have to go?" Percy pouted.

"Yes we do Percy." I Got up and brushed the sand off my shorts and held out a hand to Percy who accepted it. And we ran to campfire together.

I will admit that we got really crazy at campfire that night. But it was a lot of fun and before we knew it , it was time for bed. I gave Percy a kiss goodnight and waved to Larissa before heading off to my first dreamless sleep in a while.

I woke up the next morning and went straight for Cabin three knowing full well that Percy wouldn't be up yet. I walked up to the door and knocked. No answer. I knocked again.

"Percy? It is time to get up if you want breakfast!"

that usually gets him up. No answer. This time I opened the door and looked for Percy in his bed. My eyes immediately widened and I ran out. I ran until I got to Larissa's cabin and knocked on her door.

She answered immediately and when she saw the look on my face, let me in and asked "What's happened?"

I looked up at her I was about to cry, "P-Percy's G-gone!" I wailed and started to cry.

Ninja: BOYS! Shut up!

Cad&Percy: Sorry. . .

Ninja: Good boys! Now I thought I would share the entire prophesy with you as I noticed that it is not clear at all in this chapter. . .

shall go southward to find the Helm of Night,
in the Shadow King's lair you shall despair
the choice shall be made and chosen a side
Death and Vine shall help you decide

Percy: Does this mean Cad survives the wolves?

Ninja: What do you think?

Percy: . . .

Cad: What about Percy!?
