Shawn's POV
I woke up, feeling WAY out of it. I couldn't move. I must have been paralyzed.
I was being dragged along a cold metal floor. I knew our exact location. 30 degrees, 31 minutes north, 75 degrees, 12 minutes west. Polyphemus' island.
I also knew we were underwater. My turf. What idiots.
I was thrown in a metal room with a large sturdy door. They chained me to the wall, disarmed, and left, locking the door. All light faded.
Just great. I was chained with Celestial Bronze, so I couldn't use my powers. I hoped that didn't include breathing underwater, or I might be screwed. I couldn't see, couldn't fight, couldn't MOVE! That traitor is so dead.
"Sup." a voice said from the corner. "Who are you?"
"Why should I tell you?" I demanded.
"'Cause I'm trapped too. We have to work together!"
"I don't even know you!"
"Same here. But if we don't work together, we're screwed." The voice reasoned.
"True, true."
"So answer my question. Who are you?"
"Shawn."
"Nice to meet you, Shawn. I'm Luke."
I froze. (well, I already am frozen, but you get the point.) I gulped. "Castellan?"
"Yeah."
"Aren't you dead?"
"Does it sound like I am?"
"No." I admitted.
"So I'm alive."
"How?"
"Resurrection."
"What?"
"You heard me. Kronos thought I was going to cooperate, but I didn't. I don't know why he didn't kill me again. He just threw me in here."
"Isn't Kronos... You know... Gone?"
"No. Everyone thought he was gone. But he was perfectly fine. Well, almost perfectly fine... He needs a host."
"Does that mean..."
"Yeah. He's going to try to take down Olympus."
That scared me. What if he wanted me to be his host? That would mean... Oh gods no.
I was silent for a while.
"Hey, you alright?" Luke asked. I didn't answer. "Hello? You there?"
"Yeah. So...why are we here?"
"Uh... Not sure..."
"Okay..."
"So, who's your parent?"
"Poseidon." I stated.
"So... Percy's brother?"
"Duh!"
"Listen, let's just rest. This is getting us nowhere."
"Fine..." I closed my eyes and drifted into an uncomfortable sleep.
Tia's POV
Tori ran over to me, and I can tell she was worrying.
"Can I please, PLEASE, ask for a quest?"
"Tori!"
"What?"
"No!"
"Why not?" She pouted.
"Dude, wait this out!"
"But he's captured! Grrr you! I wanna do something!" she stomped her foot in frustration.
"No." I said firmly. She looked up innocently.
"What if I said you could come too?"
That hit me like a bucket of cold water. (Curse you Tori.) She would let me come? I thought things over, then nodded reluctantly.
"Fine, but we need a prophecy."
"No dirrr!"
"Come on."
I followed her to the big house, where we found Rachel, sitting in the attic, painting some picture.
"Knock knock."
"Hi Tori, Tia. Whatcha need? Oh wait, don't tell me, prophecy?" She asked. We nodded. She put down her brush and sat down on the stool next to her.
"Ask away."
"Alright... We need a quest. What can we expect on our way to the Sea of Monsters?" I asked. Rachel's eyes glowed a bright neon green. Soon there were three Rachels speaking through one body. Green mist curled from her mouth and it spiraled around us. Four people, Shawn, Luke, Tori and Zack, were sitting in a metal room, chained to the wall. Tori shrunk back.
"She scares me when she does this..." she muttered. She was right. This was creepy.
"Four shall go south, to the sea where Kronos hides." Shawn said, with Rachel's three voices.
"To retrieve the captured, taken by the spy." Luke said, in the same way Shawn said it.
"But the chosen will fail, but reach their destination," Tori said.
"One shall die, fighting to protect all of creation." Zack said. I swear he gave a sad look to Tori.
The mist curled back into Rachel. Her eyes turned back to normal, and she toppled over. I caught her and helped her sit up.
"Wha-what happened? What did the prophecy say?"
I repeated the prophecy in cold sweat. She turned pale. She turned towards the unfinished painting. It was too early to see what it was, but it had to do with the prophecy.
"Um, thanks. Iris message us when the painting is done."
"Ok... Good luck?" she offered sadly. We nodded and said our goodbyes. We walked out, in a totally different state from which we had walked in. Gods, this quest was going to suck on ice.
? POV
I was right. I snuck around the back of the Apollo cabin and ran into the woods. I ran as far as possible, where I knew nobody would go on purpose. I reached into my pocket, pulling out a small scythe charm. I pressed the scythe and began.
"My lord, everything is running smoothly. There is a forbidden quest, to retrieve the prisoners. I need to use the Drakon."
"Very well. I shall tell Lord Kronos of your needs. He shall help you capture the demigods. Soon, they shall lure the TRUE heroes to us, where we shall finish them, once and for all." Krios said. I turned off the recording device.
I chuckled. Nobody could beat the Drakon, or, at least, the kind we were sending. It will stop them, I capture them, and we lure the heroes of Olympus to us, where we kill them. Then we shall take down Olympus. All they need is the children of the big three. They will die. And the titans will rule the world once again.
But it hurts betraying everyone. They could have been my friends. And Tia... shook those thoughts away. The titans would be better rulers than the gods. Besides. I have unlimited power. My mother own a mansion in a desert where time stands still. She is rich. I have powers, money, fame, attention. Everything that I ever wanted was in my hands. It doesn't get better than this. I left the forest, thinking about the new world.
TT:FINALLY!
HK and TT: We're not done *Glares at each other*
RW: Ugh. Just finish the chapter!
HK: FINE! Will Luke betray Shawn, who is this mysterious spy, and the million dollar question… WHO WILL DIE? Stay tuned next time to find out! Grrr you Tia.
