Salam everyone!
I can't believe that people are actually read this. T_T
I LOVE YOU ALL RIGHT NOW, I literally spasmed so badly when I got those e-mails!
Thanks for reviewing, really! I know this chapter's short but please do not fret or fuss. There is more on the way.
Untold Legacy's word. (~v_v)~* ~(v_v~)
Annabeth dreamed that she was on a glacier. All around her an intense battle was in progress. In the distance she saw a looming and large figure with a flawless face that looking down at a burly figure at it's feet. It took awhile for Annabeth to realize that this huge and magnificent being was chained up and she figured that the shadowy figure at its feet was doing it's best job to break those chains. The creature's large and luminous purple wings spread out for about ten feet east and west. The dry cold air was sucking the moisture out of her eyes making it harder for her to focus on the scene before her eyes.
She blinked furiously and tried to focus on whatever else was going on, she needed to help someway, somehow. All around her gray ghosts, that looked like shadows and were clad in golden armor were trying their best in destroying something, or someone? Annabeth couldn't make out who or what it was, until she saw that all of the purple-transparent beings were all set for something that looked like a mass hurricane. She couldn't tell why they looked so determined in destroying an ice storm until it dawned on her that this hurricane was destroying the ghosts left and white. She tried her best to focus on the hurricane until a huge mass figure loomed in front of her.
The figure had a golden face that reminded her strangely of the Tin Man from the Wizard of OZ. Its face looked tattered and beat but still alive, and its bright red hair was braided with every expensive jewel imaginable, though they were dropping all around him like they were a bad case of dandruff. Its body was humanoid from the waist up and clad in armor but from the waist down was a hard and thick pair of rust-red coloured dragon legs. It slowly dawned on her that this massive creature was one of Gaea's sons... a giant. A beautiful stallion had raced in front of her without her acknowledgement as it bucked and whinnied furiously. On the back of the horse was a girl with chocolate coloured skin, and mysterious golden eyes. She was carrying what looked like a cavalry sword and ordered the horse to charge at the mass figure that was directly in front of Annabeth. The angry expression on the stallion's face reflected the exact same expression the girl was wearing.
Before Annabeth could process what exactly what was going on, the noises of battle were drowned out by a piercing scream of pain. The girl with the golden eyes was now injured and laying helplessly on the ice, trying her best to get back up. Annabeth tried to move, to help her but she realized the ice beneath her was tugging at her feet. A voice that resonated through the ground into Annabeth's soul was heard. The voice seemed to take over time and space and all that was there was the voice.
You see? There is no more hope left for you Daughter of Wisdom. Your precious Percy Jackson has failed, again.
It was Gaea, no doubt. Annabeth had heard that voice in her dreams for the past eight months. The voice of a taunting sleeping woman. A voice that sucked your soul away and at the same time erased every worry in the world. Annabeth could see a familiar person in the distance, holding a long golden rod, which was stuck in the ice, sending cracks throughout the whole glacier. The rod resembled Jason's javelin except it had a golden eagle attached to the top. The ice broke apart and a looming wall of water had been crept up behind the figure and washed away the army off the side of the glacier as everything and everyoneelse was swept off the edge. She now understood that the figure holding the golden rod was him. Her voice seemed to die away as she screamed his name endlessly while having to listen to the soft laughter of the Earth once more.
"Annabeth!"
Annabeth had woken with a start. She shot right up and had a head on collision with Piper. She let out a very shaky sigh. She could have cried on the spot. She felt sick and clammy, and her heart was racing unnaturally fast.
"You alright?" Piper asked with such sympathy, Annabeth almost considered crying on the spot.
"Just a little visit from Gaea, that's all." she said, trying to keep the worry out of her voice. The last thing she needed was telling everyone that their whole eight month of work was a failure since Percy was...
It's not fair for everyone else to be thinking like this. It's just Gaea messing with your mind. He's at the camp.. she told herself, but she knew her heart wasn't believing it.
"Well, we're about to land in around 15 minutes, so I guess you should- Uh.. get dressed." Piper tried to say. Annabeth could tell she knew what was up but she was trying to be nice. Annabeth pushed back the hairs that were sticking to her face and looked up. Piper's kaleidoscope eyes seemed lost in thought. Annabeth soon remembered that Piper had went to talk to Jason last night. Without thinking about the outcome she spoke,
"How'd it go?" she asked.
"What?" Piper asked, caught off-guard.
"With Jason? Did you- you know? Ask?" Annabeth could tell that she was driving the conversation into a bottomless pit of awkward.
Piper let out a sigh, "Ya."
Annabeth knew when to talk and when to keep quiet, and this was definitely a keep quiet situation.
"Look I'll work it out okay..." she tried to force a smile, but with the night she just had was probably impossible "I'm going check on Leo see if we're close yet. You just get dressed alright, try- try not to drown yourself in thoughts while I'm gone."
As Piper left the room, Annabeth quickly threw on jeans, a t-shirt and her coat. She washed her face, brushed her teeth and quickly tied her hair back in a pony tail. She tried to think of something happy but the words echoed in her mind once more,
Your precious Percy Jackson has failed, again.
