Percy 3rd Person POV
As Caleb's boat sped down the Columbia River, Percy noticed everyone was dead silent. Caleb was in front sitting beside his sharply dressed Mistform summon who was driving the green striped speedboat. He seemed to be silently reading a book and scribbling on it and it seemed as if he was locked in his own world as of now.
Ella was in a house of books and magazines that Hazel helped her build. The red harpy was reading through books at a rate of three at a time while she muttered "Yes, friends I go with friends."
Hazel and Frank were sitting next to each other on the other side of the back seats. The girl looked jittery and nervous as signs of sea sickness seemed to be evident on the dark skinned girl's face.
Frank was steadily gazing at the spear Mar's had given him. Percy wondered what it was about but he starred at the tip and tried to recall what was it about Dragon's Teeth. He shook his head as he dwelled more and thought about how Frank singlehandedly dealt with the three Basilisks.
So far, Percy was being honest to say that Frank was a guy of little talents. Sure he was large, strong and had good aim but he seemed to be nervous, easily swayed, weak willed and had serious confidence issues.
At least Frank was starting to carry his weight around and Percy was proud of the guy on how he defended Hazel from Phineas. He didn't know what it was about but he remembered that someone told him that during a quest, your companions are the people you can and must trust.
Caleb stood and went to the back and took a seat beside Percy as he threw a card on the center and a small fridge materialized on the boat as he opened it and grabbed some food for everyone and passed it out.
Reclaiming his card, he popped open a can of cola and began to drink as Hazel said "Guys…I need to say something."
Frank gave a small gentle smile and said "Go ahead Hazel, my mom always said no one should carry a burden alone and it's easier to carry with someone else."
She clenched her hand and said "But you don't understand!"
Her voice quivered as she silently took a deep breath. It wasn't that she was afraid to speak; it was because she didn't want to have an episode of her past. Gathering her strength, she seriously said "Phineas was right! I'm an escapee form the Underworld! I should be down there!"
Percy, Caleb and Frank had a surprised look on their faces as Hazel told them her story. She was mostly talking to Frank but she knew Percy, Caleb and Ella were listening. She went from her description of Gaea's voice, how she had helped Alcyoneus rise and how she delayed Alcyoneus from rising. She then spoke on how Nico brought her back and she met Riley and Talon.
She expected Frank to step away from her but he just gripped her hand and said 'You gave your life to stop Alcyoneus? I don't know if I could have been that brave to do that."
Hazel had tears in her eyes as she said "That wasn't bravery. I let my mom died and I did what Gaea told me to do."
"The ends justify the means Hazel," said Caleb, "I should know because that's what I plan to do."
Percy put a hand on her shoulder and said "Hazel, you stood up to a Goddess on your own. That was very brave and after you died, you went to Elysium but why did Nico bring you-"
"I didn't go to Elysium!" said Hazel as she held hands with Frank,
Suddenly her vision darkened s she held onto Frank's hand the both of them leaned onto each other as if they went into a deep sleep. Percy was about to shake them awake but Ella said "Slipping away…Frank and Hazel sharing."
Percy raised a brow but Caleb put a hand in front of him and said "No, I know what this is. They're sharing memory frames, best not interrupt them."
Claymore took a cough as Caleb said "We still have a long time to go before Seattle so best you get some rest."
"Wait," said Percy as Caleb's visible brow rose and he said "What you do, these Mist thing…I remember something…couldn't you use the Mist and form it into a ball where it can be used as a portal? It's the end of June 21, we need to get there fast, the Feast of Fortuna is in 72 hours."
"Ahh yes," said Caleb, "That's an advanced craft, I don't know the recipe but my sister did. The item was called-"
"A Thought Sphere," said Percy suddenly furrowing his brows,
"Correct," said the Sorcerer, "I don't know how so I apologize now if that over leave me be, I need to get back to work."
Caleb then pulled out his booklet and began to read and write on it. The Son of Neptune took a seat away from the sleeping duo and crossed his arms and nodded his head down as he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.
The sorcerer then took his seat once again next to the Mistform as he buried his nose into the book and Claymore said "He's going to remember eventually you know and if he does he could kill you."
"We'll be long gone by then," said Caleb without looking up,
The teen then said "If he does remember everything by then, I doubt he'll remember me. I'm not exactly recognizable with this mask on."
"I just hope you're correct for your sake," said Claymore,
"I'll be fine," said Caleb,
He then went into a coughing fit as he glanced at his blood dropped palm and wiped it on his pants as he said "That bastard Phineas was right though, I don't have that much time but I'll do what I have to do by then."
"What is it exactly do you plan to do?" asked the summon,
"That would be telling Doctor," said Caleb waving his hand, "Besides this is something I must confide to only myself."
"Ungrateful brat," muttered Claymore,
"Excuse me?" asked Caleb with a smirk,
The man then rolled his eyes and said "Nothing,"
"As I thought," said the masked teen, "Continue driving then,"
He got back into writing in his booklet as Claymore focused on the open sea and said "As you wish Alabaster…"
Timeskip
Percy blinked his eyes as Caleb repeatedly patted his shoulder as he said "Hey Percy, wake up, we're here."
The Son of Neptune rubbed his eyes and yawned as he stretched his arms. Claymore coughed and said "I suggest you wake up those two, if you want to get going then best you start now. It is the morning of June 22."
Caleb nodded and said "Thank you for your time Doctor,"
The man gave a bow as he glowed and formed into a card which Caleb caught with one hand and he pocketed the card as he swept his cape and jumped onto the dock.
His green eyes drifted to Frank and Hazel whom Ella perched over as she said "Still sleeping, tired or still sharing."
Percy stepped over and shook Hazel by the shoulder as her eyes fluttered open and he said "Hazel wake up, we've reached Seattle."
The dark skinned girl's eyes fluttered open as she squinted her eyes due to the morning light and groggily sat up. Frank did the same as he rubbed his eyes and said "Did we just-"
Percy scratched his head and said "Yeah you two sort of passed out and Ella said you two were uhhh…"
"Sharing," said Ella as she flew over to the ground next to Caleb, "Sharing is good but no more blackouts yup!"
Percy nodded as Caleb said "I guess that's the end of your relapses"
"You know?" asked Hazel,
"I know how the mist reacts around someone who isn't form this time," said Caleb crossing his arms, "And yes, relapses are something I've read about."
She put a hand against her coat pocket and looked at Frank and said "You were there!"
"So you really did share a blackout?" asked Percy, "Is this going to happen often?"
"If she's reached how she got brought back its just about done," said Caleb crossing his arms,
Hazel didn't know how he was so sure but Caleb had a nasty habit of surprising them with some magical stuff and he was an expert on some supernatural things so she took his word for it.
"Why are stopping here again?" asked Frank and he followed Percy off the boat as he helped Hazel up,
Percy watched as Caleb recalled his boat and he held a ring on his necklace and Percy said "Reyna has a sister here and she told me to show her this."
"Reyna has a sister?" asked Frank in a surprised voice,
"She thinks her sister could send help to the Camp," said Percy with a shrug,
"It would make sense," said Caleb, "Percy told me that this Reyna is a daughter of Bellona and that would make her sister one as well. I can see why she'd be here as an Amazon but the question is if it is safe for us?"
"Amazons?" asked Frank, "You mean Female Warriors?"
"Nope!" said Ella flapping her arms, "Ella don't like Amazons!"
"Yeah," said Percy, "I think so at least what else could be called Amazons and related to mythology?"
Frank shrugged as he said "If so don't they ummm, kill men on sight?"
Caleb raised a brow as Frank desperately asked "Do they?!"
Ella flew a few feet in the air and said "Ella will fly off now, Ella find friends later!"
She then flew off leaving a trail of red feathers falling from the sky. Caleb caught one as Frank shook his head and said "That sure makes things feel safe."
"Don't be such a fusspot Frank," said Caleb, "This is a quest, more than half the things you encounter will try and kill you."
Percy raised a brow while Hazel looked at him in surprise while Caleb rolled his eyes and gave them a look that said "Tell me I'm wrong."
Looking back, more than half of the things they met tried to kill them. Percy shrugged and said "Best we get looking, time is running out."
For the hours that came, the group of four explored Seattle as if they were tourists. They had bought some coffee and food from what money they had and it had to do. The coffee tasted like dirt and it was too strong. The sandwich they ate felt weird as the bread was stale and the meat was cold but it had to do since they were on a timeline.
Hazel pointed at a building and said "There!"
An office building with glass doors had a sign that read 'Amazon' and Frank said "Uhh Hazel I don't think that's them. You see Amazon is a company that sells stuff on the internet."
"Internet?" asked Hazel with a raised brow, "What the heck is that?"
Caleb coughed in his hand while Percy grinned and shook his head as the sorcerer said "It's a wide and very vast place that has some dark areas that will mess you up for life, let's leave it at that."
"Sounds scary," said Hazel, "Sure hope I never go there."
Percy and Frank gave each other smirks as the Son of Neptune pushed the glass doors open. The large lobby was wide and very overwhelming. It had glass walls, a glossy black tiled floor, a few plants here and there, a row of waiting seats and that was just about it.
In the middle of the room stood a young woman in a pantsuit who had long auburn hair and a security guard's earpiece. She had a nametag that read 'Kinzie'. She had a friendly smile but Percy got a weird feeling coming from her.
She looked at Hazel ignoring the three boys and said "May I help you?"
"I think so," said Hazel nervously looking around, "We're looking for Amazons?"
Kinzie glanced at Frank's spear, Hazel's sword and at Caleb who was holding a card ready and said "This is the main campus for Amazon, do you have an appointment with someone or-"
"We're looking for someone called Hylla?" asked Percy,
Kinzie moved so fast that Hazel and Frank couldn't follow but Percy was faster. She kicked Frank in the chest sending him back skidding across the lobby; she then pulled out a sword from this air and attempted to swipe Percy off his feet but she was surprised to hear a clang of metal as Percy held Riptide and had his bronze sword blocking hers as Caleb had a thin, narrow blade made of gold sticking out form his wrist as it was pointed at Kinzie's neck as Percy said "We asked a question Lady, is Hylla here or not?"
She leapt back a few feet to keep her distance from the two and she snapped her fingers in the air as more girls in the black flooded the staircase, swords in hand and surrounded them.
Caleb flipped another card in his other hand as he grew another narrow gold blade form his other wrist and said "Damn, there's too many."
"We're not going down without a fight!" said Percy gripping Riptide tightly,
Three of the Amazons rushed towards the blades raised as Percy grew a scowl on his face and sharply dodged each of their swipes. He dodged the first one with a turn of his body and slammed the hilt of his sword on the back of her head. He parried the second one and spun as he hit her sternum with a solid blow with his elbow, burying it deep as he knocked her down with his fist. The third one grew weary of his display and slowly circled him but Percy was quicker as took three swift steps and kneed her in the stomach and watched her collapse on the ground.
Percy held his blade forward and slowly turned around as he was now surrounded and Kinzie held her sword onto Frank's neck as he raised his head from the ground and said "Stand down or your friend gets a one way trip to the Underworld."
Gritting his teeth, Percy dropped Riptide and raised his hands in the air as Caleb's blades evaporated into dust as he and Hazel did the same. Kinzie stepped on Frank's back as she said "First rule, Males don't speak without permission."
The other Amazons apprehended him as she went close to his face and said "Second rule, trespassing on our territory is punishable by death. You want to see Queen Hylla? You'll meet her alright and she'll decide your fate."
The four heroes were stripped of their weapons and were guided through countless flights of stairs. The soon reached a cavern so big that it dwarfed what Hazel though the Camp's size was.
It looked like a warehouse as conveyer belts, shelves and forklifts were everywhere with girls in black were monitoring them. Several gave them curious looks but Hazel noticed some of the women guiding along lines of men in orange suits who9 are bound by chains.
"You keep slaves here?" asked Hazel furiously,
Kinzie glanced at the line of orange suited men and said "The men? They aren't slaves, just smart enough people who know their place now follow me."
They walked for Gods knows how long. Hazel's feet began to ache as Frank was breathing heavily as his pain from the kick to the chest still resided within him. Percy was silently calm as he surveyed the area with a watchful eye. Caleb's visible eye looked bored and a bit irritated as the Amazon behind him kept pushing him since he was the one at the back of the line.
"This place is enormous," said Hazel in awe,
"You admire our base yes?" asked Kinzie, "Our distribution system is worldwide and it may have taken a while but now we're turning a profit. Little do the mortals know they're funding the Amazon Kingdom and soon we'll be richer than any nation."
"Rich in savagery that's for sure," muttered Caleb,
Kinzie slammed her sword hilt to his stomach as he fell to the ground and groaned in pain. Percy and Frank tried to help him but they were held as sword point as Kinzie picked up his fallen fedora and put it on his head as she pulled him up by the shirt and said "Its men like you who's ruined the world. None of you know respect. Women are the superior beings! We are stronger, wiser-"
"More talkative?" asked Percy as they swung a weapon at him but he ducked as Hazel said "Stop! Just take us to Hylla! We're wasting time!"
"Fine," said Kinzie as she shoved Caleb back, "Time is definitely an issue."
"We should take them straight to Otrera," said a guard, "We can win her favor that way."
Kinzie growled and said "No! Hylla is queen!"
"Until tonight," muttered another guard,
Kinzie looked like she wanted to rip their throats out but Caleb growled as he said "As you said, time is of value. Enough of this female drama and just take us to Hylla!"
Kinzie hit him again causing him to cough violently as she said "Follow me"
They finally reached a small cavern that looked like a mix between a loading dock and a throne room. There were lined metal shelves where stuffed heads of giant lions, drakons, hydras and monsters. Percy somehow felt it was familiar to him but then he saw several Amazon Guards, each standing by a metal forklift modified for war.
Some of the shelves had cages filled with live creatures and Hazel gasped and said "What's going to happen to these poor creatures?"
"The animals?" asked Kinzie, "They're being shipped across to our other districts around the world."
At the end of the warehouse was a dais constructed from pallets of books ranging from different tasteless books that Percy scoffed at. At the base of the steps, some Amazons looked like they were arguing.
Meanwhile a girl about in her early twenties sat and watched from her throne. Hazel assumed she was Queen Hylla. Percy raised a brow as he noticed the Queen. She was lean and lithe as a tiger and she wore a black leather jumpsuit and boots. She wore no crown or tiara but she wore a strange belt made of interlocking gold links that seemed to pattern in a weird way. She looked a lot like her little sister
"Otrera's lackeys," said Kinzie in disgust,
Percy viewed the arguments as Caleb said "Hazel where are you going?"
"It's him," said Hazel as she approached a metal cage where two Amazons stood guard,
Caleb, Frank and Percy inspected the animal and saw that it was a powerful looking stallion. It had a honey colored coat and a black man and its eyes peered at Hazel.
"It really is him," said Hazel slowly,
"Who?" asked Percy as Kinzie rolled her eyes,
She scowled but her expression softened as she said "Ahh beautiful isn't he?"
Hazel regarded the horse with surprise and awe as if it would disappear in a blink of an eye. She gulped and couldn't control herself as she said "Is he for sale?"
Caleb raised a brow as Percy watched as Kinzie said "That's Arion and no he's not for sale."
She faced them and said "A prized treasure of the Amazons. To be claimed only by a courageous warrior as the prophecy says."
"Prophecy?" asked Hazel,
"Never mind," said Kinzie, "He's not for sale. He's in the cage for a different reason."
The horse then slammed its head on the bars causing the Amazons guards to nervously step back. Hazel had a desperate look in her eyes as Percy said "Hazel, you alright?"
She nodded slowly and was led away and as they approached Hylla, she noticed their group and barked "Enough!"
She looked down on them and said "What brings three males and a girl in Amazonian territory?"
Hylla gave off an aura of power, power that should not be trifled with but Percy stood his ground and Hazel noticed Percy seemed to release the same kind of aura but his was more solid and fearless.
He gave a small respectful bow and said "Queen Hylla we are here for a message."
The Queen raised a brow and said "A message? From whom does this message come from boy?"
"Your sister," said Percy bowing his head down, "Reyna sent us."
She swiftly stretched her hand to grab Percy's necklace but the Son of Neptune caught her hand and said "Careful Queen Hylla, I might have thought that was an attack."
"Don't touch the Queen!" said Kinzie as she raised her sword but Percy caught her hand and twisted it causing the blade to fall out of her hands,
More Amazons came close to help but Hylla pulled her hand away as she said "You made a dangerous move boy."
"You started it Queen Hylla," said Percy dangerously,
Hazel was surprised, what had gotten into Percy? Usually he was quiet, calm and observant but he's being a tad bit too aggressive right now and this was compromising their quest.
She watched Hylla pull out a knife and in a flash of an eye, she had it pressed to Percy's gut with her face close to his and said "Messenger or not, I think I'll kill you."
Just then she was knocked back by some unknown force as Percy growled and said "Do not underestimate me Amazon! Be grateful I'm not allowed to kill you because if I could you'd be one big mess on the floor!"
The Queen felt her legs buckle as an overwhelming power came from Percy causing all the inhabitants of the room to cower a bit in fear. The creatures whimpered weakly as Percy felt Hazel put a hand on his shoulder and she sharply said "Percy stop! You're compromising the quest!"
"This Amazon had the audacity to threaten me!" said Percy as his eyes were flaring purple,
Frank, Hazel and Kinzie stepped back nervously as Percy scowled and said "And now you're telling me I'm compromising the quest?"
Just then, Percy's purple eyes died out into green as his eyes rolled back into his eyes and he lurched forward unconscious and sprawled onto the ground. It was silent for a whole minute as the people in the room noticed Caleb who had a hand in a chop gesture right where Percy was and he said "I apologize Queen Hylla, my friend here is just very…tired."
Hylla was still feeling a little weak from what she just felt from Percy and she slowly rose and grabbed Reyna's ring from Percy's neck and said "Explain this now."
Hazel went onto on what the situation was in Camp Jupiter and why Reyna was asking for help while Frank helped the unconscious Percy up. Caleb and the Asian teen held him up by the shoulders and said "I gave him a good hit that would last twenty to thirty minutes. Any idea on what the heck was that about?"
"I don't know," said Frank, "Percy never acted that way before. It was so unlike him."
Caleb glanced around to see the Amazons cautiously looking at Percy and he whispered "Well it got these savages terrified. That's a plus. We'll have to ask him later."
As soon as Hazel finished, another group of Amazons entered the room. One was taller and older than the rest judging by her looks. She had plaited silver hair and fine silk robes like a Roman matron. The other Amazons gave her way and gave her signs of respect.
"So we need your help Queen Hylla," said Hazel, "Please I apologize for what Percy said and did but Reyna needs your help."
Gripping the necklace, she muttered "Reyna you foolish girl…"
The older Amazon then interrupted "Well? Romans ask for our aid? I remember back then where Romans and Amazons kept fighting! How many of our sisters fell to those fools? When I was queen, I'd lay waste to them! Not aid them!"
"Otrera!" said Hylla sharply, "You are a guest here, no longer Queen."
The older woman grew a devious smirk and said "Yes Queen Hylla that is true until tonight of course…"
She smirked and said "I was brought back by the Earth Mother herself! I bring glad tidings! Why should we continue to serve under Jupiter a king while we can live under Gaea! A queen!"
Nods were coming from all around as Otrera said "When I take command-"
"If you take command!" shot Hylla, "You're not Queen yet!"
The former queen then sneered and said "Pathetic, what Amazon Queen fears a mere boy! If it we're me! I'd kill them now!"
Hylla crosser her arms and said "I am Queen Otrera! I rule by reason not fear!"
The former Queen gave a bow and exited the room along with her troupe as Hylla called she will be questioned such is the Amazon way! Meanwhile, take these boys to the cells!"
Kinzie pushed Caleb and Frank who were supporting the unconscious Percy. Frank didn't want to leave Hazel here alone but she nodded at them encouragingly. The Asian hoped she'd be fine. He wouldn't know what he'd do if she was hurt."
Soon, the trio was put in an Amazon cell. Well it looked like any normal prison cell except for the fact that the bars were locked not by keys but by an Amazon Card which some guards carried around.
Frank slouched on the wall next to the unconscious Percy as Caleb coughed violently as he hunched over and wiped his hand on his pants. Frank noticed a few drops of blood and said "Hey dude, you okay?"
The sorcerer took a few staggering steps and said "I assure you I'm fine. Ou should be asking him that."
He pointed at Percy who was starting to wake. Frank held him by the shoulders and said "Percy! You're okay!"
Slowly blinking his eyes, the Son of Neptune wheezed for some air and said "W-What happened?"
"Before or after you went malevolent freak mode?" asked Caleb pocketing his hands,
"What?" thought Percy,
Frank raised a brow and said "Don't you remember? You lashed out on Queen Hylla, scared everyone off their butts and your eyes turned purple."
"Yeah what's with that?" asked Caleb,
Just then Percy recalled all that had occurred. He shook his head and remembered what had come over him. He just meant to use the power to convince her but it was as if he lost himself and couldn't do anything as he nearly got everyone killed.
He shook his head and said "I swear guys; I didn't meant that I'm sorry."
"I have no idea what that was about but what was with your eyes?" asked Frank,
Percy bit his tongue as he realized his secret was out. He took in a deep breath and said "Look, this information shouldn't leave this circle. We will tell Hazel but you cannot reveal this to anyone unless I say so."
"Is it that big of a deal?" asked Frank,
"It is buddy," said Percy, "This power I have is rare and if word gets out that I have it, Lupa told me that some things could happen to me."
"We swear on the Styx," said Caleb as a faint rumbling occurred,
Frank nodded and accepted the gravity of their word. Percy then said "I have what you call the Three Truths."
"They're activated by the color change of my eyes," said the Son of Neptune, "There are abilities I gain from this. The first is the Voice of Truth, with that I can manipulate anyone into doing anything, making someone forget an incident and generally it's called Mind Control. It can only happen with eye contact and when I use it the victim has no memory of being controlled."
"Did you use it on us?" asked Frank skeptically,
Percy shook his head as Caleb said "I'm guessing you only use it on people you dislike or on those you really must have to control?"
The Son of Neptune nodded and said "Yeah then after the voice, there's the Sight of Truth."
The black haired teen then closed his fists as he said "This one gets weirder but I can't say it isn't useful as heck. When my eyes are activated, I can see people on a level where I can see their auras, spirit forms and even some hidden power. Also when using the Sight, I have a 360 degree view and a view range of around five kilometers at best."
"Is that how you found Hazel in all that grass?" asked Frank,
Percy nodded and said "That's right, we might have never have found her without it."
Caleb nodded taking in this knowledge and said "Sounds very interesting…your powers seem very useful indeed but then the last one, what is it?"
"The Power of Truth," sighed Percy as he shook his head, "According to Lupa, that one is the weirdest and most undiscovered power of all. I just about mastered the Sight and Voice and I just needed to work on maintaining it but I haven't even scratched the true potential of the Power of Truth."
"Even now," said Percy, "I can use it as a form of very powerful telekinesis. I'm still missing the true power of this last branch but I'm on my way there I think."
The Son of Neptune clenched his fists and said "I'm getting more and more powerful each day. The power the Truths give me is great but Lupa warned me to not overuse them."
"You better follow it then," said Caleb, "I don't trust Gods but if they're dead serious about it then follow their advice."
Percy nodded as he closed his eyes and shook his head as they all heard a collective crash coming from around the corner. The three peered outside their cell to see Hazel armed with her Spatha carrying all their equipment as she swiped a card on the lock and the iron bars snapped open as Frank said "Hazel! You're incredible!"
She blushed a bit as Frank smiled at her and Caleb rolled his visible eye and said "Not now lovebirds, we need to get out of here."
Hazel passed Caleb his belt as he snapped it on. Percy felt his pocket and Riptide was there and Frank put his spear on his back. Frank looked around as the alarms blared and he said "I think they know we're out! We've gotta get out of here!"
"Follow me!" said Hazel as she led the trio of boys through the complex,
Some Amazons let them be as if they wanted them to escape but some here and there tried to stop them but were easily dealt with by Hazel by sending a tidal wave of friendship bracelets at them.
Caleb threw a card above them where it exploded into a ton of sticky goo that hardened trapping several Amazons in the staircase above them. The sorcerer threw a various assortment of cards that did all kinds of effects from freezing, to burning and even turning them into a chicken.
In the next turn, they ran into a trio of Amazons who drew weapons and readied themselves for them. Percy stepped up and uncapped Riptide as he felt a familiar power rise in the blade and the blade's length erupted in flowing green fire.
"Greek Fire," muttered Caleb,
Percy then felt the watch given to him by Hermes extend into the gold framed mirror which was supposedly a shield. A yell for battle came from the trio as they charged towards him. Percy swung his sword as the Greek Fire engulfed blade cut through an Amazon's spear as Percy slammed the shield hard on her front causing her to get knocked back.
He blocked a sword swipe by his shield and he was surprised as the shield didn't break and he flicked the shield as a bright light flashed from the mirror causing the remaining two to be blinded and faster than they could react, Percy had knocked them out cold.
Sheathing his weapons, Frank was awestruck as Percy said "Slowly, I think some more things are coming back to me."
They reached the throne room where Hazel unlocked Arion's cage and Caleb said "Uhh, Hazel is that safe?!"
The horse whined angrily as Percy said "He just said that he is and you better shut up you mask wearing freak."
"Charming," said Caleb as Hazel mounted Arion and said "Percy, this is Arion, you two should get along well."
"Why is that?" asked Percy,
"He's a Son on Neptune too!" said Hazel as Percy's eyes widened,
"What!?" said the Son of Neputne,
She shook her head and said "Not now, the matter is that he's fast, fast enough to get us out of here!"
"We can't all ride that thing!" said Caleb,
Frank smiled and said "I remember the Chariot a few rooms away! We can use that!"
The horse whined as Percy said "Okay…Frank he said good job baby man."
Frank's eye twitched as Caleb laughed out loud and the door busted open as an Amazon said "There!"
Hazel raised her sword and said "Follow me!"
Percy watched as Hazel dashed on Arion and the other two males followed Hazel who was a streak of destruction as she wrecked any Amazon who tried to challenge her.
The path to the Chariot had been cleared and they went to attaching it to Arion. Soon after, Percy said "Are you sure about this?"
"Pretty sure!" said Hazel a bit too happily,
Caleb hopped on as Frank said "Oh no!"
The doors busted open as Otrera with a full army of Amazons said "Surrender!"
They hopped onto the chariot as Frank said "I don't think this is going to work!"
Caleb looked like he was going to be sick and he said "He's not going to-"
"Arion now!" said Hazel as the horse bolted up the countless flights of stairs with Percy yelling in enjoyment while Caleb pushed his fedora onto his head. Frank yelled in fear as they busted through the lobby and Hazel said "Ella! Come on! We've got to go!"
Out of nowhere, a red blur shot past them and Caleb found Ella who was holding a book sitting beside him as she muttered "Ella here! Amazons sharp and pointy!"
They could hear the Amazons coming as Hazel pointed to the direction of north and said "Arion run!"
Hazel gave a shriek of joy as Arion yelled and the horse shot forward as the world seemed to elongate. The horse left behind a trail of smoke as the group successfully escaped and were now headed north.
