After a few moments of silence the crowd that had gathered around us dispersed, mumbling to each other about what the prophecy could mean, leaving just Me, Thea, Rachel and Nico to decipher it.
"Three children of the Underworld?" Nico muttered. "Could it mean me, Hazel and AJ?"
"Maybe, but it could also have Thea or Audrey…" I contradicted.
"The Queen of Night obviously means Nyx. " Thea pointed out.
"But that can wait because there is no way I'm letting you guys go anywhere on an empty stomach." A familiar voice said. I turned around and so the green-eyed son of Poseidon standing behind me.
"Percy! Oh my gods how are you?!" I squealed.
"I'm fine, a little confused about hearing how my dead best friend kidnapped my Dad but otherwise I'm pretty good.
"I'm sor-." I was interrupted by the blowing of the conch that signaled dinner.
"Shall we?"
I chuckled.
"We shall."
After we sat down and got our food, (Chiron decided it would be fine for me to sit at the Poseidon table, given the current circumstances. He also said it was fine for Nico to sit there as well but Percy interrupted saying something along the lines of "I wouldn't won't to gross him out with the food I eat because I doubt it's his type." I'll ask about that later.)
I noticed Leo wasn't sitting at the Hephaestus table, I looked around and noticed Leo wasn't here at all.
"Hey Percy, where's Leo?" I asked.
"I knew I forgot to Iris message somebody… He 'died' defeating Gaea, A few weeks later at his funeral he swooped above us in Festus with Calypso and shouted 'I put the fun into FUNeral!' It was awesome."
"Oh, Okay…" I said, still very confused.
After we finished diner and left campfire, I went to the Hades cabin to sleep, I noticed Nico had gotten rid of the coffin beds in favor of beds made of black wood that had carvings of skulls on them, with red sheets, they were pretty wicked, Anyways, I got into bed and fell asleep, but as you fellow Demigods know, you don't just sleep.
I had appeared in the Underworld, right next to Audrey, upon impulse I screamed "Oh my gods, are you okay?!" She didn't hear me. She looked off into the darkness.
"Mother, I accomplished the task, sunrise in one weeks time will hold many surprise's for Camp Half-blood." She smiled a sick twisted smile.
"Very good, my dear daughter. You have finally proved useful." A voice like knives on a chalkboard replied, A beautiful woman with black hair and black skin (I mean actual black here.) and a dress that looked like the night sky.
"Nyx." I muttered under my breath. What Audrey did next surprised my, she held out pitch black chains.
"Mother, do you know what happens when you form chains out of pure darkness?" Nyx's familiar violet eyes widened in fear.
"Well….they are unbreakable." The same cruel smile played on Audrey's lips.
"That's right, and do you know what would happen if a primordial god is wrapped in these?"
"Her….captor…could take her status." She said, now slowly backing away.
"Right again." Thick tendrils of darkness wrapped themselves around Nyx's legs and arms.
"How dare you do this to me!? I am the queen of-." Another tendril covered her mouth. Audrey chuckled as she wrapped the chains around the goddess.
"Oh dear, looks like the queen's been dethroned."
I woke up in a cold sweat, It took me a few moments to process what I had seen., then I shook Nico awake.
"What? What happened?!" He exclaimed.
"I… I had a dream…Oh gods this is really bad Nico. It's Audrey, Nico." I babbled "Audrey is the queen of night."
Then I told Nico what I had seen.
"…. What are we going to do?" Nico fretted.
"I'm going after her." I concluded.
"No you aren't, she just beat Nyx on her own. Even Percy and Annabeth had help. No way in Hades could you bring her back, maybe she's fallen too far, and maybe we can't help her at all!" Tears filled my eyes.
"How could you say that? You knew her better than anyone, you should know that Audrey could never fall too far, For all you know you could be the only one who could help her!" I was shouting now. Nico was to stunned to say anything and I left before he got the chance.
I looked for Thea and found her in the forge talking to Nyssa.
"Thea, we're leaving." I said.
"Okay, where are we going?" She asked.
"Tartarus." I grabbed her hand and shadow traveled to L.A.
