Chapter 2
Annabeth's POV
Silence followed. I wanted to scream. We had just defeated Gaea, we had fought 2 wars, and returned from the darkest pits of Tartarus. Nightmares… Pain…Fear… everything we had been through this couldn't be happening. But by the look on Chiron's face it was.
"WHAT?!" Screamed Thalia, Leo, Percy, And Reyna all at the same time.
"We just finished our quest! Don't we get a break for like, ever!" said Leo.
"I can't leave my legion! Who can lead if Frank and I are both gone?" Reyna exclaimed
"Chiron, we have already taken so many quests can't anyone else take this one?" Annabeth asked.
"Please Chiron isn't there anything you could do?" asked Piper.
"I'm sorry children there is nothing I can do. The prophesy has been issued I can do nothing but prepare you. Where you are going is different than anything you have ever encountered. The magic in this land is older than even the oldest gods including Gaea or Tartarus. It is outside the gods and will test your limits. I do not know of his magic or how it will affect you, you're powers, or you're weapons. What you must also understand that it is an entirely different world. It is not of the earth but contains an entire world all on its own. Time is meaningless in this world for an entire lifetime could pass within this world while a second could pass here." Chiron said.
Rachel then began to speak' "I have seen visions that are not quit clear, but it is certain it must be you twelve. I have seen many things most of which don't make since. I have seen a lion roaring on top of a mountain, a boy unknown to me fighting in sword and armor, and I have also seen things that I never knew existed. Creatures…dark creatures that seem only to be described as demons. They are unlike anything we have ever encountered." The last part was directed towards both me and Percy. I shuddered. There was something worse not found in the deepest parts of Tartarus. I looked at Percy and saw absolute terror in his eyes. I grabbed his hand not just for his benefit. My knees were shaking, a cold sweat passed over me, and I felt like passing out.
I couldn't seem to comprehend what he was saying. Magic older than the gods. Time meant nothing. Things worse than that what we had encountered in Tartarus. This couldn't be real. I thought we had experienced the worst when we fell into places even the gods did not go into.
"Do not despair. There are powers in this world so great that anything is possible. For every evil force there will be, an equal or greater force will be there to vanquish it. I do not know anymore except that you may not all end up in the same place. I believe that the Romans are to head to the war area to help plan while the Greeks are to find the children and protect them on their journey. I do not know if this is certain or if it will be exact but I do know that by the end of the day you will be gone. I do not know how or when so I would begin to pack as soon as possible. One more thing I need to mention these children are not from this time but are in fact from 1940." She continued.
Hazel gasped, since she was born in this year but had been reborn thanks to her brother Nico. Nico stayed silent but seemed to understand what she was feeling for he too was from an earlier era and had been trapped in the Lotus Flower Hotel along with his other sister Bianca.
I stood along with the rest of the heroes, but would have fallen had not Percy steadied me. I looked at him and could tell he was trying to hide how he was really feeling but, I knew him better than anyone and could see the crease in his forehead, the way his breathing was so shallow, and the anger in his eyes. I placed my hand in his and could feel his hands shaking. I knew it was not from anger, but fear. He knew as well as I did just how horrible the creatures of the underworld were.
We slowly began to calm down as we walked away together. We were together and nothing would change that. I don't know what I would have done if I had to have gone through Tartarus alone, but in some ways he had changed. He had nightmares so severe he would cry out and scream. I would have to listen to him cry out my name desperately as he thrashed around. I knew exactly how he felt for I to had these dreams. It seemed we relived what we experienced every night. I would have to watch him die before my eyes or watch as we were attacked by the creatures of darkness. In his I was lost to him and he had to watch me die knowing he had left me. This brought tears to my own eyes but I pushed them away. That is why Chiron allowed us to sleep together in Percy's cabin. Together the nightmares weren't so bad and if they were, he was there for me as I was for him. I knew I could always count on him.
He also seemed to have a harder time controlling his powers. When he got to emotional it seemed some water would explode somewhere.
The fear I had felt for him has faded almost completely I just pray he will be able to hold it together, because I don't know what I would do without him
