This chapter is spesh as it has half from Percy' POV and half from Leo's POV!
Percy's POV:
I take a deep breath, the others will just have to miss me. I promised Binnica that I would keep Nico safe, now I have been given a second chance. Then it clicks no wonder I felt uneasy, the prophecy. Its not complete. The words float effortlessly into my head;
Seven half-bloods shall answer the call
To storm or fire, the world must fall
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death
But I don't care what my fate will be, Chiron always says prophecies aren't always as they seem. Lets hope this one has a double meaning.
Annabeth will kill me, if this doesn't. I venture further into the temple, it became colder, and darker. In a room of the main room, was an old fountain, I could see water once came out of the three furies mouth's. in fact there were lots of references to death in this room. I went behind the room divider, a jumped about a foot in the air or should I say water. I perfectly preserved skeleton was stood right next to me. On its wrist was a charm bracelet, the charms were rusty and old but I could just make them out;
A trident, lightning bolt, skull and cross bones, sun, moon, sword, letter, owl, broken heart, bunch of grapes, peacock and hammer.
One charm for each of the gods, I ease it of the arm of the skeleton. There is an extra charm that I couldn't see before, it is a plate of metal with this engraved into it;
The traveler choses its path.
I put the bracelet on, and try to work out what it is telling me, the moments that I wish Annabeth was here. No, I must not think of her, there is no point of crying over the past.
Finally I work it out. My fingers hold onto the skull and cross bones charm. The bracelet shoots up in a jet of water. Then I am plunging into darkness.
Leo's POV:
"Festus, can you do a search for Percy over our past route?"
He makes a few creaks in agreement. I sigh, first Nico now Percy. Why are half-blood's so complicated, Percy would have had a good reason to leave the ship.
Festus interrupts my thought pattern. My brain translates as if he was just speaking English. Perseus Jackson: last movement 1000 miles west from our current location, but his signal is negative now.
"So he is dead?"
Negative, the signal is down.
"Jeeze, you scared me then Festus! Set our course for the last signal movement."
Estimated time to destination, three point two hours.
I walk down on the the first deck and into Percy's cabin. Annabeth is still sat on his bed, I cough and she looks up.
"Um, Festus has found Percy."
She still stares at me, no emotion change at all. This confuses me, shouldn't she be relived, or is she just good at hiding her emotions. I carry on.
"He found where he last was, so I set the ships course for there."
Still no change,
"Annabeth, are you all right?"
"Sorry Leo, I didn't mean to sound uninterested, I am just tired. Also know Percy, it wont be that easy." Pain flutters onto her face.
"We have about three hours till we arrive so you could go and sleep."
She ambles past me and across the corridor to her own cabin, leaving be looking at an empty room.
