It means: Here is the latest chapter. Read and review! I really like it when you do that. :) I spent my time giving you this epicly awesome chapter.


Peter, Thalia, Annabeth, Edmund, Grover and Caspian sat around a table in the council room.

Peter eyed everyone. Grover was nervously eating a can, Annabeth was discussing a battle plan with Edmund and Thalia was huddled on her chair with a worried expression. She kept on muttering "Nico."

He cleared his throat loudly. "I have gathered all of you here today to discuss a battle strategy to rescue Nico and Percy." Campers cheered and Narnians stood silently.

Edmund stepped forward to present the plan. "The demigods are in two different locations. Half of the Narnians and half of the campers will go here," he said pointing to a white castle. "And the rest go here." he pointed to a black castle.

Grover was fiddling with his hands. What if Percy's not there? What if Percy can't be rescued? Thalia looked over to Grover. He looked very worried. Thalia patted his shoulder. Everything's going to be fine. She mouthed.

Grover relaxed a little.

"Grover, Annabeth and Peter, you will go to the land of the Giants. Thalia, White Witch and I will go to the Ice Castle. Caspian, you can stay here and make sure they don't attack the castle." Edmund concluded. Everyone stood up and prepared for battle.

Thalia walked over to Grover. "Percy's going to be fine. Don't worry." she told him, then joined Edmund.

How wrong was she.

O.o.O.o

Percy woke up. Everything was fuzzy. He was lying down on a bed with black sheets. The room was dark and had a candle flickering in the corner. He had a vague memory of a blonde girl wearing a Yankees baseball cap, but the memory quickly faded away.

"Ahh! The young demigod awakes!" boomed a voice. Percy looked out of the window. A giant face was opposite his.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"You don't remember me? I am Porphyrion. The mighty giant! I am your protector." said Porphyrion.

"Protector? Why do I need protection?"

Porphyrion looked at him concernedly. "There are dark forces out there who want to kill you."

Percy felt like something was missing. Who was this giant? Who was that blonde girl?

Porphyrion stretched out a hand. "Come Perseus. You need to train." Percy stepped onto Porphyrion's hand. He lowered it to the ground. Percy stepped off and brushed his pants. A lady with snakes for legs walked - or was it slithered?- up to him and laced her arm through his. She led him to an arena, where another one of the snake ladies gave him a sword. It was bronze, with an inscription on the side. The writing was in Greek. "Anaklusmos." he whispered. Riptide. A rattling noise disrupted his thoughts. He whirled around. A Sphinx was behind a metal grille that was slowly rising. With a clang, the grille disappeared and the Sphinx growled. It bounded toward him with swift movements. Percy closed his eyes. He felt his arm move. There was a scream of fury that quickly died. Percy opened his eyes. Where the Sphinx was, was a mound of yellow dust.

Porphyrion was watching Percy. "Well done!" he clapped. Percy turned around. Porphyrion was looking at the horizon. In the distance was a small army that was growing larger. "What are you looking at?" asked Percy. Porphyrion looked away. "Prepare yourself Percy. The enemy approaches."

O.o.O.o

After he stepped through the vortex, he found himself in a snowy land. Khione led him to an icy castle behind a tall gate.

"Where have you taken me?" he asked.

Khione looked at him with cold eyes. "Welcome to my palace."

Nico shivered. It was so cold. Khione walked up some stairs and opened a door. It was a small room with a bed and a window. There was a heater in the corner. "You will stay here." she said.

She pushed Nico inside and closed the door.

Nico sighed. He missed Thalia already. He lay down on the bed and took a photo out of his pocket. It was a picture of him and Thalia the last time she visited camp. They were laughing by the campfire, which was a cosy orange color. Nico rolled over and took his Stygian iron sword out. The black blade glinted in the dim light. Nico tried to summon skeletons but his power wouldn't work. Nico cursed in Greek and banged the wall.

Khione's voice rang out. "Tried to use your powers, did you? Well they won't work here."

Nico stayed silent. He walked over to the window and wiped the frost off the glass. His room overlooked a snowy wonderland. Frost covered the tips of the trees like powdered icing on a cupcake. Over to the right was a river that gurgled and shimmered. If he squinted, he could see naiads in the water. Nico turned away from the window. The river reminded him too much of camp. And Thalia. He closed his eyes and clutched his sword tightly. If he was going back to Thalia, he would have to break himself out of here. Nico walkedover to the door. It was locked. Nico threw his sword at the door. There was a bang and his sword clattered back to him.

"Nice try Nico. You'll never get out." taunted Khione.

Nico spun towards to where the voice came from. Khione was standing behind him. "Hello Nico."

"What do you want from me?"

Khione took a step towards him. "Nothing really. You're just too cute to kill."

Nico breathed in. "And my friends? They're worth saving too."

Khione waved a hand. "They don't matter. You're much more precious."

"Why because Hades is my father? If you're after the Big Three's kids, you're making a big mistake."

Khione laughed. "Really Nico. You are so amusing. I only want you." She held out her hand. "Join my side. Fight for me. Your friends abandoned you. Don't you see? No one's coming to save you."

Nico had to fight. He could feel the power in her voice. "Where did you learn to speak like that?"

"Medea of course. She is the expert on magic."

Nico quietly slipped out sharp piece of wood and threw it at Khione.

Khione froze it. "Did you just try to kill me?"

Nico gulped and stepped backward.

Khione was distracted. She was looking outside the window. With a quick move, she was next to Nico. "Sleep." she commanded.

Nico couldn't fight it any longer. He felt his eyelids drooping. Nico swayed. Khione caught him and placed him on the bed. She stroked his hair then stood up. She walked to the door and looked back at Nico. She changed her mind and walked away.
