CHAPTER 2 - LEO - IS REVENGE SWEET?
. There she was, the wacky lady that had fated Percy and Annabeth to go under, "You," I stammered, "You," I said a little more loudly,"it was your fault Annabeth and Percy were dragged through into Tartarus, yours!" I couldn't even get the words out. That wacky old Yin and Yang lady was still smiling.
"I am Nemisis," she announced," goddess or revenge, or as I like to say balance." she paused with a smirk. "It is true that I knew Annabeth would go, but the boy, he wasn't supposed to, and now, the universe isn't balanced, and it is time to fix it!" She pointed too where we were all huddled up.
"Hey, lady, so your gonna do more bad stuff to us?" Frank exclaimed stepping forward.
"Oh no no no dear. I actually have good news, Percy sacrificed himself, so I need to give you the key to your success if you will use it," she said as she pulled out a celestial bronze box, and a imperial gold key. She opened the lock, and out came a scroll and a book. "The prophecy was my doing, she said raising the hand with the scroll, the book, it's a very LATE thank you present from Hermes. Said he owes Percy and Annabeth one and wants to save them or something, and with that, I must get going." With that in a puff of smoke she was gone, but an echo remained, "Use...It...Well..."
Jason stepped forward and retrieved the box, key, book and scroll which he handed it to Leo, "Hold on to this while Frank and I get a table, we need to figure this out. I would have us work below deck, but who knows what uninvited visitor we might get then." Frank nodded and as the two of them started to go below deck.
I called out, "HEY, you don't trust me to carry up a table?" I asked half offended and half jokingly.
Jason smiled,"Not with those guns," he hollered as he raced down the steps.
