Lilly's POV (I know, again!)
Why was I still sitting by Leon?
Toby had scampered down to party in the mess hall and hadn't come back.
The medic from Apollo had left for Capture the Flag.
But I...
well, I couldn't.
I've never really spoken to him before at school, barely even knew him before we got to camp. But now...
something's changed.
I lay back in the comfy little chair. I'd figure something out. But for now, it was time to sleep.
Dreams.
More than dreams.
Visions. Illusions. Nightmares.
I didn't really believe Chiron when he told us demigods have dreams that show us things: visions. I'd never had them before – well not until tonight...
I was standing in the Underworld. I could see a shade being dragged off to Elysium, but he was screaming, begging. With a gasp, I realised the shade was Leon.
"LEON!" I screamed, running for him.
But it was no good.
Suddenly, the silhouette of a man appeared beside me.
He raised a hand.
Suddenly, I felt I could run like a cheetah. Leon slowed down and I grabbed him. The man had... slowed down time!
Then, the dream changed...
A grey, bare land, with no sky, no sea, no sun, no stones, nothing. Just a grey floor.
But three people I recognised where standing talking.
The first was Magenta, brushing back her black-tipped locks.
The second was Jack, from Apollo, who was standing with his arms folded, chatting seriously.
Finally stood Aston,from Aphrodite, dressed smartly in skinny jeans and a leather jacket.
Magenta turned and saw me. She smirked.
"Ah, Lilly. Nice of you to join us."
"What?"
"I'm Daughter of the God of Dreams - I can do stuff like this."
"I don't understand, why are you sending me dreams. Did you send the one..."
"About Leon? Yes."
"Lilly," my charismatic counsellor Aston addressed me, "Leon could be snatched from you. But with the help of our master, we will reverse time."
Magenta smiled. "We'd like you to help us in bringing back our Lord, the true God of Time. He is-"
"I don't want to hear it!" I yelled at the top of my voice. I put my hands in my ears and shouted to avoid hearing what they said, but it only muffled it.
The word... must've been... the muffled voice Magenta spoke in made it hard to comprehend, but I could've sworn she said Kronos.
I woke up terrified to the sound of hooves.
"Chiron?" I muttered. But it wasn't Chiron. It was Lief.
"Oh, hey Lief," I smiled.
Lief grinned. "Sorry I wasn't in my shoes, my hooves must've woken you up."
"It's OK," I assured him. "It's breakfast now, anyway," I said, glancing at my watch.
Lief bleated nervously: "So it is. Well, let's go downstairs – perhaps I'll visit Lief later today..."
There you go!
:O Spooky!
What are Magenta, Jack and Aston doing, and why do they want Lilly to help?
Who is their master?
Who has been watching the heroes through the story?
Oh, I'm going to draw an illustration of one of the characters and put it as my avatar, but you get to decide which character! It could be:
Tom, Veronica, Summer, Lilly, Leon, Toby, Eddie, Magenta, Aston, Jack or Lief.
