VII. Jason Grace

Sorry for not updating in a long time. I'm trying to write a real, actual book that I might publish on a publishing website. I'll tell you guys when I publish it. Meanwhile, please review! On to the chapter:

JASON WAS NERVOUS. He was scared that something might happen in Tartarus. After all, Annabeth and Percy barely survived, even with help from two immortals. He thought that they would have to practice and perfect their powers so they could survive. Jason practiced raising the wind, flying, and trying to create minature storms. He eventually got really worn out and decided to go rest in his cabin.

While passing the arena, he noticed Annabeth fighting a bunch of dummies with a book laying nearby. Every few moments, she would stop and read a few pages. Trying to practice her skill, sword-fighting and knowledge, he thought. Upon reaching Half-Blood Hill, he noticed Percy controlling water at the canoe lake, Piper trying to charmspeak some campers, Hazel raising metals, Frank shapeshifting and shooting arrows, and Leo summoning fire and creating things. Seems like everyone is trying to perfect their powers, he thought.

"Hey Jason! Let's see you perfect your powers." Piper said, tackling Jason from behind.

"Already did." Jason said, pulling Piper into a hug.

"Please! I want to see what you can do with your powers!" Piper said, using her charmspeak.

"Fine!" Jason said, raising the wind. He pulled Piper close and made them both fly. Then, he created a minature wind storm. Piper smiled at him throughout the whole show.

"That was amazing! Much better than my powers." Piper said.

"And your powers are?"

"Charmspeak, Amokenesis, and speaking French fluently," she listed. "Your's?

"Aerokenesis, atmokenesis, electrokenesis, and enhanced leadership quality," he said.

"See? I told you your powers are better than mine!" she exclaimed.

Jason smirked. He glanced at his watch. "We have an hour and a half until we leave," he said.

Piper groaned. "For some reason, I feel like I'm missing something. So does Annabeth and Hazel. It's like all the girls have this feeling that they're missing something."

"And why is that?" Jason asked.

"IDK. I wonder if it's important to the quest," she said.

Just then, Annabeth came running up. She looked worried. "Do you know what we're missing yet?"

"No. I'm still trying to figure it out. Do you think it's important to the quest." Piper asked.

"I think it is. Everything is important to our quest." Annabeth replied, looking everywhere. "And we're leaving in an hour and a half!"

"Calm down, it'll come to you. If not, we can see if Leo can make a new one while we're on our way." Jason said.

"Oh, well I hope it'll come to me within an hour and a half." Annabeth said, marching back to the arena.

"Wanna go sword-fighting with Annabeth?" Piper asked.

"Sure." Jason replied half-heartedly.

"What's wrong Jason?"

"Nothing. I just feel scared for the quest. I'm worried something might happen." Jason said, staring off into the distance.

"On that note, let's just go practice!" Piper said. Jason noticed that she was lacing her voice with charmspeak, trying to make him excited and not at all nervous. And it was working. He felt motivated to go and practice sword-fighting.

They fought for a long time, taking short breaks every once in a while. They heard the conch horn blow, signifying the start of dinner. They sat together, trying to spend some time together before they went on the quest. Leo tried to crack multiple jokes, trying to lighten the mood. But it didn't seem to help. Everyone was gloomy and thoughtful. The girls were talking, trying to figure out what they were missing. Jason remembered the nightmare he had last night.

Ha! A Titan was pointing to some glass object, showing views from the future. They will be weak when the time for battle comes, for they do not have their most important weapon! We will surely win the battle! the Titan shouted. The other Titans and giants raised their weapons, cheering and hollering. When the Titan turned, he got a full glimpse of his face. With a shock, he recognized it as the face of Tartarus, having encountering him once at the battle against Gaea. Thank the gods that he was invisible and weightless in his dreams. We have take their most important weapon. Those are the key into defeating me, since they are the most powerful. We will keep them hidden, but not killed. When all those arrogant half-bloods and those weakling gods are destroyed, we shall use them to take over the mortal world! Death! The other Titans raised their weapons once more and echoed the battle cry. Tartarus grinned wickedly, showing his monstrous face.

He suddenly had a thought. Could a demigod be a weapon? "Hey Annabeth, would a demigod be considered a weapon?" he asked.

"Technically, anything can be a weapon." Annabeth replied. "Why?"

"The key to defeating Tartarus are Chloe and Nico."

'Sup guys! That was the sevnth chapter! I can't beleive I got that far already! Please, please review, good or bad.
