"HEY SEAWEED BRAIN!"

Percy took his focus from the track in front of them and looked back at Annabeth. She was holding a spear and trying to push the Hermes Chariot away from them. "What?"

"Think you could possibly stop daydreaming and get the horses to run a bit faster?"

"Oh. Right!"

"We're running as fast as we can!" The horses complained.

I'll give you sugar cubes when we get back.

"SUGAR CUBES!" Their chariot started pulling quickly in front of the Hermes horses. Annabeth gave them a final push and chucked a heavy chain between the spokes on their wheel. A few of the spokes shattered and the wheel collapsed. The chariot was dragged off the track by their horses and the Stoll brothers shouted curses after them.

Percy flicked the reins again and grinned as they pulled over the finish line. Mostly because Annabeth had launched herself at him and they were wrapped in a hug. He smiled.

The other campers quickly surrounded them and they were lifted on their shoulders and taken to the front of the arena where they were presented with the laurel wreaths. Cheers filled the arena, most of them from the Athena cabin, as they raised their clenched hands in victory.


Percy sighed and smiled as Annabeth leaned against him. He wrapped his arm around her as they gazed across the ocean, watching the sky grow dark.

"Today was perfect." Annabeth smiled.

"Yes it was." He leaned over and kissed the top of her head. She sighed in contentment and turned her face up so her lips could meet his. Then she snuggled into his chest. "Just perfect." He leaned back onto the sand and closed his eyes.


It was dark and a shadowy mist was curling around his legs. "What is this place?" Huge columns lined a walkway that continued as far as Percy could see. The mist expanded over the path and beyond the columns, creating a shadowy sea that rolled and twisted. He started walking down the path, wondering how he got here.

As he looked around more he saw a figure walking in front of him. It's head looked like a giant black starfish with red edges. He ducked behind a column when he saw a second, taller figure appeared. He realized that the giant starfish was just their hair, because the new figure had the same style. Gold bangs framed his face and a few of the strands rose up in jagged bolts along the black and red spikes. Needless to say it was the oddest hair style Percy had ever seen. The new figure was wearing some sort of armor over his jacket. Percy looked down and saw that he was wearing the same thing. "What is this?"

The two figures seemed to have heard him and started walking over to him. He stepped out from behind the column and waved.

"Hello."

"Um. Hi." The shorter one smiled cautiously, but the taller one frowned. Percy could now see that the shorter of the two had large amethyst eyes and the taller had more angled features and crimson irises. Other wise they were completely identical. And they were both wearing the same gold inverted pyramid on a chain. The shorter one tilted his head slightly. "What are you doing here?"

"I have no idea."

"Oh." The smile brightened. "Then you must be the Other that the shadow being was talking about!"

"Shadow being?"

He nodded and held out his hand. "My name is Yugi Mutou. And this is Yami."

"I'm Percy Jackson." He shook Yugi's hand then offered his to Yami.

"Nice to meet you." Yami's voice was much deeper than Yugi's.

The ground beneath them shook and a few of the columns fell over with a loud crash. Yugi took a few steps back and Yami glared at something over Percy's head. He turned and gasped.

A huge creature, entirely constructed from shadows, was standing in the middle of the path. A deep voice chuckled. Percy took out his ball point pen, Riptide, and uncapped it to reveal his sword. Yugi jumped back another couple of feet.

"Where did that come from!?"

"Long story. Tell you later."

The shadow being laughed again. "Foolish humans. You cannot defeat me!"

Percy snorted. "Look. I've fought off monsters bigger than you since I was eleven. You don't scare me." Truth was, the thing did scare him. Somehow this monster felt different. Darker. Stranger.

"I can smell your fear Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon. Your powers won't help you against me. Or in the game."

"Game?" He turned to Yugi and Yami. Yugi's face was slightly pale and Yami's fists were clenched. "Do you know what he's talking about?"

Yugi nodded slowly. "Sort of. I've had this dream before. He kept talking about the 'chosen' and the 'game' then too."

"Great. More stupid creatures that want to kill me!"

Yugi laughed. "Sounds like you have some stories to tell. We'll have to talk sometime."

The creature growled with impatience and reached out to grab Yugi. Yami jumped in front of the hand, allowing it to grab him instead.

"YAMI!"

Percy leaped forward and cut the hand off at the wrist, letting Yami tumble to the floor. The hand disappeared into the mist and another one formed on the creature's wrist.

"I told you your weapons were useless!" He chortled.

Percy took a fighting stance in front of Yami and Yugi. Yami stood up, shaking his head and stood next to Percy. Yugi stepped forward to stand on his other side. Percy smiled, for some reason he felt almost as comfortable standing next to these two and preparing for a fight as he would his friends from Camp Half-blood.

The creature laughed again. "So you choose to die together? Very well. You shall all join the game."

Percy was about to say something smart and probably stupid when the darkness started to close in on them. The last thing he heard before his senses were overwhelmed was:

"We'll see you in India!"


Percy lurched to his feet, quickly drawing Riptide. He was drenched in sweat and his heart was beating so fast he thought it would burst. He breathed heavily, looking around for the shadow creature, before realizing that it was a dream. He sat back down on the sand. The sun was still setting behind him and Annabeth was looking confused at him.

"Percy?"

He sat down heavily, sighing. He stabbed Riptide into the sand and Annabeth wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"Are you okay?"

He shook his head and looked at her sadly.

"I have to go to India."
