Okay, that was a really long author's note, so I'm going to be picking a few shout outs next time, instead of doing them all. Thank you so much for the comments and reviews. PLEASE REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW. SUGGESTIONS ARE ALSO WELCOMED!
Austin's POV
The Argo II sailed into the daylight, hovering over the slightly topaz, aquamarine sea. The sea salt, tingling my skin as I glance out through the deck facing nothing but the ocean. I turned around, proceeding through the corridors to go into my cabin as I felt the sensation of a tap on my shoulder.
"Hey Austin." Selena whispered. That girl was something. I could sense anyone else's presence, yet with Selena, zilch.
"We're, gathered at the round table, trying to unveil what the prophecy really means, so you might want to come, it's up to you Blondie".
We walked briefly over to the wooden round table placed near the deck of this ship. Percy sat at the head of the table followed by Leo and Melissa on either side, then Jason and five other empty seats. I sat down on the opposite side of Jason, and Selena followed suitly.
"Okay, I was thinking maybe the line that says 'A savior will find love in the way', was you as the savior and that you fall in love with Ally." Leo explained.
"Yeah, I think so too. I mean were obviously the seven demigods, and the loved one, is Ally. The one who destroys all, is Nico." Jason jumped in.
"I don't know about the oath with a final breath. Let's not look too into it, maybe it will be something good." Percy murmured. He stood up and cleaned his plate off.
"I got to go, I'll be in my cabin if anyone needs me. I need to send a Iris message to Annabeth, I mean we clearly left her at home!" He grumbled.
That night, I didn't sleep at all, I was too busy musing over the prophecy lines. Though when I did sleep, I had such a disturbing dream. We were in the Underworld, The walls of the The palace of Hades were a crimson red with very bad lighting and Nico was tying Ally to a wooden post, saying something about them being there soon. We shortly arrived, but before we had the chance to draw our swords and fight, Nico shadow traveled himself and Ally along with him. He appeared to be in back of me, and single handedly pierced his Stygian Iron sword, through my boney flesh right across my back. I awoke in a bath of sweat, too terrified to see what would go next. I mean it was just a silly dream, right?
"Wrong." Said a feminine voice in my head.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" I demanded.
"Do not upset me puny child. You will be needing my help, once you reach the palace of Lord Hades. Say, no such insult before I change my mind of helping your dear friend- Ally. If you do so continue to be demeaning towards me, I will misguide your lovely ship, and poor Ally, who my heart deeply wants to help, in-order for my untold story to not continue, will be drowning in her own sorrow, for you failing her." She had somewhat of a victorious tone in her voice.
"If you're to going help us, then guide my dear, please." I pleaded.
"That's more like, my dear Austin. However I could only help once you enter the realm of Hades, before from then on I am just a simple bother. Do not worry, Ally is in perfect conditions, under my intensive care. Now be gone child. Say no more, and do as you please to reach the House of Hades."
I tried to talk back, yet no response. I stared at the blue ceiling, my face was blank. It was around 8:30 when Leo barged into my room.
"Heeyy dude, what's up?" He grinned and sat himself onto the floor.
"I'mm deeply disturbed you know, by this dream I had, and this woman's voice in my head an-
"Dude, calm down. I came to tell you we have arrived! Now, where are we off too?" He questioned.
"The Realm of Hades." I muttered under my breath.
"Okay, were docking now. So I suggest you get yourself together, and go out to the deck, everyone else is already there." He exited the room, and I followed through his guidance. We stepped out onto a harbor, and began to discuss directions. Meanwhile, the voice in my head returned.
"Go west, demigod. Then follow the trail of pomegranate seeds my spirits have left behind. However you must go quickly Nico is about to take Ally, off to somewhere else. He can sense your presence."
"Everyone! Follow me, and quickly, we have to pick up the pace!" I yelled.
We swept side through side, and in between dark alleys, that would have scared me when I was a child. We made it through the roads in complete silence, no one dared to utter a single word. This passage was too long, and I was caught off guard when a minotaur had popped up in front of us. I grabbed my celestial bronze sword, along with Selena who was already throwing her arrows, and Percy and Melissa were summoning waves of water, splashing the mighty monster. Jason turned and fly up into the sky and raised a wind storm towards the monster. Leo, who was searching through his magical tool-belt got out his number 52 wrench and flinged it at the monster. I took a swipe across his upper torso and he turned to nothing but yellow dust. I high-fived everyone, congratulating each other on the stupendous effort and team work. When went up and down the roads of California, until we spotted the enormous Hollywood sign, that was covered with leafy green vines and moss. We trekked up the jungle green hills, and after what seemed liked forever we finally arrived.
Jason cleared his throat and spoke up. "Uhh Sorry Guys."
"Sorry for what?" Leo questioned the Son of Jupiter.
"EHH, I could have just flown you guys up here!" He muttered.
"JASON GRACE!" Percy yelled, he was clearly covered in dripping sweat like the rest of us were.
We tapped on the L, and popped out a secret entrance, we quickly ran in and spotted where we were, unfortunately, I thought we wouldn't have enough expierence, since none of us have ever been in the Underworld, until the tall blonde spoke up .
"Alright, we need to hitch a ride, from that guy on the boat!" Melissa shouted. I think that was the first time she had spoken throughout this trip.
We approached him, cautiously, my eyes made out what seemed to be like a hobo.
"HE'S NOT A HOBO YOU MORON!" Selena yelled. I chuckled at her, in fact she was actually really cute up close. Uh, that was a really irrelevant thought.
"How did you die?" The man in the boat asked. His breath smelled like onions.
"Errm, Uhh. A BATHTUB!" I blurted out.
I could hear Selena and Melissa silently giggling at this.
"All seven of you?" The guy asked.
"Uhh, It was a really big bathtub." Percy explained.
"I request one golden dramacha, for the ride of you 7."
"Here." Leo handed it to the onion breath guy.
We hopped into the canoe while the man paddled with a wooden ore. We all laughed at the bath tub fiasco, what doofs had we been!
I noticed all the different rivers we had paddled through, I was starting to wish Annabeth was here so she could mention all of their names.
When we arrived at the banks of the river, two massive doors painted black and outlined red, lied before us. Percy did the honors of opening up the door, and we took turns peeking through the small crack we had opened up, until Selena pushed us all in.
"HELLO? We need to find Ally before Nico finds out we're here! Stop playing around!" She cried.
We scanned the perimeter of the palace, where was the voice in my head? She was suppose to help us, get to Ally!
"Guys, let's go down that way." Leo suggested.
"Why that one?" Jason questioned.
"Geez, I don't know. MAYBE BECAUSE THERE'S A BOY THERE!" Leo said in a sarcastic tone.
Sure enough, we did go down that path, wandering through every room and searching every closet, surprising enough it had been around 2 hours, no one had found us, and we haven't found Ally.
There was one last room, one with mint green walls, and a lavender door. We crept ever so slightly over to the room, Ally was there on the bed, where was Nico? I knew he was right around here.
And sure enough the Ghost King stood right before my eyes.
