15. Other Plans
"How are we going to go in there we all can't breathe under water." Then Percy remembered the canteens that his dad had given to them.
"What are we going to do with water canteens?"
"If you drink the water from them you will be able to breath under water."
"Are you sure Percy," Lacy asked and everyone waited.
"You just have to trust me," Then they drank the water and went into the sea. They could breathe under water now they just had to swim Percy lead the way. He knew where they were going and he could help them break the fast currents.
"Where are we going Percy,"the others asked.
"We are going to The mid ocean ridge. Also that is where my dad's castle is at." They were all approaching the bottom of the ocean.
"I think I see it but how will we ever get there, it's so far away," Gerard said. He personally didn't like the idea of being underwater he was after all the son of Hephaestus. Just then the ocean settled and then they all followed Percy who dove right into the sea. It was not hard to keep up with him but what worried the others was how they were going to defeat the sea monster and save the goddess. "What's that coming toward us?"
"I have a feeling they won't hurt us." Percy stated. He looked at the dolphins coming towards them. They were heading straight for the ridge and towards Poseidon's castle. The dolphins seemed to be getting closer then they started to charge at the kids."There's something weird going on here, something doesn't feel right."
"I don't see anything, but then again this is your domain Percy," exclaimed Luna. Just then they heard a screech coming from behind them it was the dolphins they were right behind them. "What is going on here?"
"We should just keep going," Vincent said and the others nodded in agreement. But the dolphins had other plans, they were not about to let the demigods escape. The dolphins got ready to charge then the dolphins all attacked Percy.
"Why are they attacking you?"
"I don't know,"He said to Lacy.
"I sense this is not normal. Something was done to the dolphins," Diana said. Suddenly all around them there was darkness nothing could be seen. They were stuck in a cave or tunnel. The dolphins were sure to get them now. Then fire escaped from the cavern's interior and a rumbling noise came from deep within it. The cavern shook and small pieces of stone and rock began to fall from above there heads. The earth and cavern shook again and then in the distance the demigods heard the roar of a wave. It crashed against the cavern eliminating one whole side. Then another wave stronger than the last came, it hit the exposed side of the cavern taking some demigods with it.
"Guys, hold on!" Matt yelled. They were headed straight for the flames. They still burned because of Gerard. But now was not the time to think about that, they had to move fast and go find the others. Just as everything was about to go down it was bad. Taking into consideration that they were indeed underwater the demigods that remained together were sure that there situation just went from bad to worse.
