Chapter 4 A Little Talk

Kris's POV

When we got to the Big House we hid behind one of the pillar things. The door to go inside was open. I guess it was open to let some air in. Anyway, we saw Annabeth and Percy talking to Chiron and Mr.D. Silena wasn't there. Chiron seemed to be talking about something important.

"How're we going to get inside?" Will whispered.

"Hmmm…" I said back.

"Great response…" Will muttered. I stepped on his toe. "Ow!" he said. "I need that toe for my track meet!" I rolled my eyes.

I moved closer to the door and I could hear them talking just a bit better. I stood beside the door and crouched down so they wouldn't see me. Will followed suit.

"I believe Nico told you about his plan," I heard Chiron say.

"Yeah," said Percy cautiously.

Chiron nodded.

"Uhh actually I have no idea what's going on," said Annabeth.

"Wow. For once Wise Girl DOSEN'T know everything!" Percy said, looking amused. Annabeth gave him a look.

"Percy, why don't you tell Annabeth the whole thing," Chiron said, seeming to understand what Annabeth was saying.

Percy looked at Chiron and said,"Maybe you should do it sir; I'm not that great at summaries."

"No you're not," muttered Mr.D.

"Very well," Chiron said.

I leaned in closer so I could hear the rest.

"Nico went back to the Underworld to ask his father, Hades, for a disguise," Chiron began. "A disguise so powerful that even the Titan Lord himself wouldn't be able to recognize him."

There's a disguise that powerful?" Annabeth interrupted. Percy nodded.

"There is," he said. "I'm not sure what it's called though."

Chiron nodded on agreement. "No one knows what the disguise is called," he confessed. "Only Nico and his father would know."

"So where was I?" Chiron said. "Oh yes, I remember now. Hades was actually nice for once and gave Nico a costume made all of black material. Black magic as well, I suppose. The disguise was quite like Hades' Helm of Darkness, just in clothes form. Nico needed the disguise so he could spy on Kronos."

"But isn't that what we're doing already?" a confused Annabeth asked.

"Well yes," answered Chiron. "But we keep getting caught."

"Oh, so Nico is going to use the disguise to find out the Titan Lord's secret?" asked Annabeth.

"If you put it that way, yes I suppose he is." Chiron said.

"Could we please get on with it?" Percy asked impatiently.

"Yes get on with it!" said Mr.D in a bored tone.

"Anyway, Nico followed Luke's boat, The Princess Andromeda. He also managed to sneak on the boat. Nico found the place where Kronos (in the form of Luke) slept. He noticed that there was a crystal cup with a lid on top. It was very small and had a delicate handle. A yellowish liquid was inside."

"Nectar?" Annabeth interrupted again.

Chiron shook his head. "Something else."

"Nico didn't know what was inside or what the glass vial was there for. He snuck off the ship and reported to Hades. Apparently Hades seemed to know what he was talking about. He told Nico that the glass cup was a creation that Hephaestus had made. It doesn't seem like much but the crystal cup is so powerful that anyone who touched it would be burned to a crisp."

Annabeth made a face.

"Unfortunately, it was so powerful that Hephaestus threw it in the Junkyard of the Gods. Luke, before he was in Kronos form, found it and almost died. But he managed to take it back to Kronos. Kronos somehow was able to touch it and not die. He filled the jar with this kind of liquid that has tons of energy and makes the drinker immortal and powerful."

"Like an elixir?" Annabeth asked.

"Exactly." Chiron said.

"So you're saying that if we find the glass jar and destroy it, Kronos will vanish?" Percy asked.

"Well yes," said Chiron.

"But what about… Luke?" whispered Annabeth. No one answered immediately. I knew this was a touchy subject for Annabeth.

"He will survive," I said, stepping out of my hiding place. Annabeth and Percy looked surprised to see me and Will. But Chiron looked as if he knew we were there the whole time. Mr.D just looked bored.

"But he might lose his memory," I continued weakly.

"Kris is exactly right," Chiron said.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take," Percy said.

Annabeth didn't answer.

"So will there be a quest?" Will asked.

Chiron nodded. "It's the only way."

"Who's going to lead the quest?" I said.

"I think you should, Kris." Percy said.

"Yeah!" agreed Will.

Annabeth nodded.

"Umm… I don't know." I said reluctantly. This would be my first quest. I had been here for about 6 summers but I've never been on a quest.

Annabeth squeezed my hand. "You should do it," she said.

"Okay," I said. "I accept."

Chiron stood up and said, "Well then, Kris you should go upstairs and ask the Oracle."

I nodded even though I felt weak.

"Here, we'll come with you," said Will.

"Yeah we'll wait outside," Percy replied.

I smiled. "Thanks."

We all walked upstairs. Once we reached the attic door they stopped.

"This is as far as we can go," Said Annabeth.

"Good luck," said Will.

I took a deep breath opened the attic door and walked towards the Oracle.
