Chapter 3 - The Stoll Brothers Rub the Magic Rock

Percy's P.O.V - First Person

Maybe letting Travis and Connor mess with the rock was a bad idea. They were practically throwing it back and forth between each other and if Annabeth saw this she would kill me. I frowned and was about to tell them to stop but it turned out I didn't need to because Connor stopped tossing the rock and stared at it.

"Hey, the black is starting to rub off a little. It looks like there is another color underneath it." Connor pulled out cloth from his back pocket and started to rub at the blackness of the rock. I walked over to him and looked at the green color starting to shine through.

"You're right. I wonder if that's what Annabeth meant by look at the rock." I continued to watch as Connor rubbed harder. At first I thought the words would be rubbed off of the rock too; like it was painted on the black surface of it. But then I saw that it was carved all the way into the green. I could feel the wind start to pick up but I didn't think anything of it until I heard Thalia and Annabeth.

"What the hell... Guys come over here!" It was Thalia's voice. I glanced at her and saw that she looked concerned and confused. Her hair was dripping wet along with Annabeth's. Nico was the only one to actually move after hearing Thalia. He started to walk over to them but was suddenly shoved back a good foot and nearly ran into me. Then the wind picked up more.

"Percy! The rock!" I quickly turned back to Connor and Travis and saw that the rock was glowing in their hands now. The black layer was cleaned off and the glow became brighter and brighter.

"Give me the rock!" I heard Annabeth yell and she ran at us. I yelled at her to stop coming so close. Nico was rebelled from leaving the circle of wind that surrounded us and I thought she would be unable to enter. However that was not the case as she came through with ease and ran at Connor. Connor, being the kind of guy he is; held the rock above his head and out of Annabeth's reach. So naturally I had to act.

"Give it to her Connor!" I yelled as Thalia ran through and hit them both on the head.

"ταράττω, ταράττω, ταράττω! (trouble, trouble, trouble!) That is all that you two are!" Thalia yelled and hit the two brothers in the stomach. Her annoyance obviously shinning through. They bent slightly and I went to grab the rock from Connor's hand. But I slipped slightly and accidentally hit it out of his hand. I watched it fly out to the visible wall of air and disappear. Then we all started to lift in the air.

"Percy!" I heard a combination of everyone's shouts and smiled sheepishly. I was about to apologize when I felt myself being pulled in a direction. I reached out to grab Annabeth but felt someone else grab onto my arm. I watched as Grover was being pulled back and quickly grabbed Annabeth taking her with him. They disappeared into the whirlwind of air. Then I saw the Stoll Brother's being (what looked like) strangled by Thalia and they too disappeared. I glanced back and saw Nico before we both were pulled through the air and I had the feeling of falling take over me.

Meanwhile in Gondor

Aragorn's P.O.V

"My King, you must come at once!" I heard before turning to see a city guard who stood before me with his hands on his knee's panting from what i can only assume was running through the palace searching for me.

"What is it?"

He looked up and into my eyes. "Sir I cannot explain it, you must see it for yourself."

Percy's P.O.V

I landed in a fountain, that was kind of lucky considering, what was not lucky was the fact that Nico landed on me in the said fountain. Pulling the two of us out of the fountain was easy, however making sense of my surroundings was a little to much for me.

"Uh where are we?" I asked the little bundle of hatred and darkness that we like to call Nico.

"Yeah because i'm going to know where we are." He looked around the city for a moment. "Well we're not in Kansas anymore that's for sure."

"Well I could have told you that." I was just now starting to take notice of the strange place that we landed in, it looks like an old ruined city, except that it wasn't ruined and all the walls were made of white stone. "Hey Nico check this place out I've never seen anything like it."

"Percy while I'd love to talk about why I don't care about the white city, we have other problems."

"What is it?... Oh..." I don't really know how I missed it but there was what appeared to be a group of city guardsmen approaching us with swords, bow, and spears... Never a good sign...

"I bet we can take them." Nico said to me while slowly unsheathing his sword, I could feel the air around him grow colder as he did, I thought about drawing riptide but knowing that it'd be useless against other people I refrained from doing so. Instead I raised my fists, after all with the curse of Achilles behind me I wouldn't be needing a sword anyways.

Aragorn's P.O.V

"The king approaches!" Those words got old quick, but at the moment I could care less. When a guard told me that I was needed I was worried but I never expected to see what I did. At first I thought it was two oddly dressed kids that the guards had their swords to the throats of. But it hit me, these are two of the kids from my dream... I walked up to them and even when I got close to the two they were fighting... With each other.

"What was charging at them unarmed going to accomplish?"

"I don't know about as much as dropping your sword and surrendering when they get close does."

"What did you want me to do summon an army?"

"Yes! Very much so, and furthermore how did I get stuck with you anyways?"

"Well I was trying to grab someone useful like Annabeth but you and Grover were closer... I took my chances."

"Wait I remember being pulled away from Annabeth when that happened... You made it so I was stranded with you instead of Annabeth?"

"I withhold all comments."

"You little bas- Come here i'll kill you!"

This was the point in which I had enough of these two fools, filled with a feeling of infuriation that I haven't felt in a while I did something a little unorthodox for a king. "Both of you shut up!" I shouted, before grabbing both of their head and bringing them together. without giving them time to recover I drew Narsil and put it to the throat of the one in the dark jacket. "Now that I have your attention tell me how you got here.

"We fell from the sky." twisting the handle of my sword caused the blades edge to brush against the neck of the smart mouthed child.

"Whoa whoa there, lets lower the blade no need for Nico to die."

"Yeah I'd rather not have a family reunion because of stray comment."

"Aragorn, lower your sword there is no need to frighten these two." The voice was an old and familiar one I turned around and saw standing in front of the crowd an old man with grey robes holding himself up with his walking stick.

"Gandalf" I spoke.

"Aye, now lower your blade before somebody gets hurt."

Meanwhile in the Shire

Pippin's P.O.V - First Person

"Sneaking through the mushroom fields sure does bring back memories doesn't Merrian?" i said to my friend.

"Oh That it does, at least this we're not getting chased down by a farmer this time round." He cheerfully replied before taking a bite of a carrot we picked a field over.

"Or running into Sam and Frodo."

"Just to end up being chased by those black riders."

"Aye but those there were the end of our adventuring days for us, no more quests.

"No more orcs, wizards or ents."

"And no fighting, we're hobbits, not fighters!" I declared.

"AAAAHH!" I heard screaming, looking around i saw no one, the only people in the field were Merrian and I.

"Hey Merrian did you hear that?" I asked, still confused by the scream I heard.

"Oh then you heard that too Pippin?" he said.

"Yes but I see nothing..." I was cut off by the sound of another scream, louder this time. "Now Merrian, I know I heard someth-"

"Look out!" I turned just in time to see a boy falling from the sky, right at me.

"Pippin move!" Such a simple thing to do, move slightly to the left or right... Yet I was to slow as the boy crashed right into me. If i wasn't tough from drinking that ent's drought i would have been killed by this boy. I looked up in time to see Merrian to have a kid fall out of the sky onto him as well. Pushing the strange child off of me, I realized that these two are exactly the same, with the same strange clothes and everything.

"Merrian, are you alright?"

"I'm fine Pippin, what a perculier sight these two..."

With that we heard another scream, instinctively we looked up this time, to see a girl falling from the sky.

"Oh that's just our lu-" I didn't get to finish my statement as she took to landing on both of us. After being crushed by falling people for the second time today I was a little, slow to get back off of the ground. But i was still able to look over when the girl jumped off of my back and ran over to the twins.

"ταράττω, ταράττω, ταράττω (Trouble, trouble, trouble)! Now look at what you've done Stolls!" She said all while attempting to strangle the two boys.

"Pippin was that elvish?"

"I've never heard that kind of elvish before Merrian."

That was the moment when the girl, who seemed to have a sort of silver hue around her, (which could be from a concussion I most likely have.) focused her attention on us.

"It's Greek you idiot!" My hair felt like it was standing up on end.

"Merrian she looks like a human but sounds like an orc."

Not thrilled by my comment she drew a bow of her back and notched an arrow in our direction.

"What did you just called me?" she yelled with blood lust in her voice.

"Pippin whats the matter with you she clearly resembles an elf more than an orc!"

"Well i'm sorry i didn't realize it was such a touchy subject at the moment!"

"Thalia no!" the two boys yelled as they made a grab for her bow.

"Yes Thalia, shooting us would certainty be no good, bad for the mushroom and all, and besides what good i shooting a hobbit anyway?"

I don't know what happened but in that moment the fighting between the three stopped. The girl turned to us after pushing the two boys away from her. "What did you just called yourselves?"

"H-ho-hobbits, we're hobbits of course." Merrian managed to blurt out.

"Hobbits..." She stood clearly deep in thought. "Tell me hobbits, where are we?"

I managed to gather my courage to reply to the admittedly frightening girl. "Well the shire of course, where else would a hobbit be?"

Meanwhile in Mirkwood

Annabeth's P.O.V

I felt Grover grab onto my arm before we were both pulled through the winds. Everything was spinning at first and then I felt a pain in my back as I hit a branch of a tree and fell down into other branches before I fell to the ground with a thud. My breath was knocked out of me for a moment and I glanced at my surroundings. Grover laid to my right and struggled to move to get onto his feet. I followed suit and got up to my feet. My arms were slightly scratched due to falling through trees but it could have been worse.

"Woah... Look at this place." I heard Grover let out a breathy sigh of complete awe as he looked around himself to see all the trees. They grew higher than the ones that surrounded camp and were beginning to look more green. However something was not quite right.

"It's a forest but... This forest has a sad feeling to it. Something not quite right. It needs healing Annabeth." I heard the sadness in my friend's voice and lightly pat his shoulder. He loved all nature and to see that the forest was in a sickened state must have been hard for him. Especially when his girlfriend was also a tree. I let my hand slide off of Grover's shoulder and continued to look around.

"Where are we though? I don't recognize this place at all. And there's a creepy feeling to it."

"It's not that bad Annabeth. I mean it's a little darker than it should be but the forest is filled with life. I can feel it." Grover was looking around still admiring the forest despite how creepy it felt. Plus I felt myself becoming slightly confused. I shook my head and tried to clear my thoughts. Focus... I told myself. I looked at the trees and noticed something white hanging off of most of them. I reached out my hand and touched it. Then upon realizing what it was I shrieked.

"Annabeth! What is it?!" Grover ran over to me as I cut through the spider web I saw.

"There are spider webs everywhere! We have to get out of here now Grover!" I yelled at him. Fear pulsed through my veins and I looked around wildly. Trying to desperately look for a way out. We had to get out. We had to.

"Annabeth, calm down. It's probably not that bad. You need to calm down." Grover was attempting to calm me when I heard a familiar clicking sound. Grover turned quickly and froze up.

"Annabeth, run and don't look back." Despite Grover's warning and I turned and felt all the color drain from my face. Spiders were crawling in the trees at the lower branches and headed right to us.

"I told you not to look... Come on we have to go now!" Grover grabbed my arm and started to yank me in the direction that he was headed but I could not move. I was completely frozen in place due to fear. They were huge! They were bigger than me and they looked like they wanted nothing more than to kill me. I tried to force my self to run or scream or grab my knife. But I was completely frozen.

"Annabeth, come on!" Grover yanked my arm harder this time and pulled me out of the way of a spider that jumped down from the trees. Then my limps started to obey me again but voice was still lost to me. I turned with Grover and ran through the forest with him.

"Come on! Come on!" Grover yelled; telling me to run faster. But it did us little good because a few spiders went ahead of us and dropped down, we were surrounded. The spiders started to move and Grover grabbed a stick while I drew my knife and sword. Fear pulsing through me until an arrow impaled the spider in front of us.

"Thals..." The word barely came out as a whisper and soon more arrows were fired and men with long hair dropped from the trees and started to shoot and cut at the spiders. There were a few women in the group too and they all fought greatly. One of them; who was obviously the leader do to the air of confidence around him worked faster at killing the spiders. He had long golden blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Everyone moved with elegance almost as if they were dancing. The spiders all laid on the ground dead and in some cases twitching. Before Grover or I could even get a word of gratitude out arrows were at our necks and we were surrounded.

"Ya naa lle? (who are you?)" The blonde man seemed to ask us a question but I did not understand the language. He stared at us and looked at our confused faces.

"Ya naa lle? (who are you) Mankoi naa lle sinome? (why are you here?)" He tried again while adding another question but neither of us answered. He looked a bit annoyed and this time he said something in English.

"Who are you? And why are you here?"

"I'm Annabeth Chase, and this is my friend Grover Underwood. And we didn't mean to come here. We just sort of fell into the forest and was attacked by... Spiders..."

"What is that creature you call a friend?"

"I'm a Satyr. You know, half goat, half man."

"No I do not know. I've never seen something like you before, Satyr. You two will come with us and our king will decide what to do with you." With that he turned and began walking. When Grover and I didn't move right away we were jabbed at with arrows and forced to walk after him. As we walked after the man no one spoke and I was left to my own thoughts. I was trying to think of how we all came here and where everyone else was; but those thoughts were interrupted when I looked upon the gorgeous kingdom in the middle of the woods.
