'Are you sure that this is the right way?' Lisa asks Cathy.

Cathy nods and then we continue walking.

We're going deeper and deeper into the forest towards the mountain in the middle of the island.

Yeah, we're stuck in an island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, according to Cathy. The island is brand new as well, courtesy of Gaea apparently.

The island is huge and it took us two days to get where we are right now. Cathy knows a lot about the geography of this island, she said that she memorized the map of this island when her brothers gave the map to her.

We were near the beach when we first met Cathy, strange how we didn't spot the ocean though. Cathy said it's normal since there's a magical fog that prevented us from seeing or going to the ocean.

I'm not sure why bother, since we're not even going to set sail into the ocean.

Cathy said that there is a way out of here, it lies at the highest peak of a mountain right in the middle of the jungle.

Everything here is hard to notice since I didn't even spot the mountain until yesterday.

The mountain is high, possibly a couple thousand feet. The forest is surrounding the mountain and so far it's pretty safe.

We've been eating only fruits for the last few days, we've encounter no animal or any living creature so far.

The surrounding becomes more humid as we walk deeper into the forest.

The trees are shielding us from the sun; it's more of a jungle than a forest in here.

It's so quiet, with only the sound of our footsteps and our voice. Even the wind makes no sound here.

It is hard to figure as to why the Primordial gods dropped us here without any notice or any purpose.

I have the feeling that Cathy has something to do with it. She told us that she's here to kill Percy, is Percy here then?

Cathy's last name was given to her from her other brothers. It represents that she is more connected to Percy than to them unless Cathy kills Percy.

I can't understand what's going on through William's head right now, why he even allows this little girl to be Percy's assassin.

So far, Cathy looks fragile and helpless. The other day, she trips and hurts her knee. The poor girl cries her eyes out.

One time, during the night, she crawls right next to me. She said that the darkness scared her, and that the night breeze froze her. I smiled and held her tight as she fell asleep.

Is that the point then? To use the girl's helplessness to assassinate Percy? But Cathy is only just a small girl; she has never taken a life before. I doubt she has even ever fought anyone before.

I don't know why this girl was sent here, but it doesn't really matter now. We need to get out of here first before doing anything else.

Lisa stops walking all of the sudden, and then she just sits there on the ground.

'I think we've walked enough. My feet are killing me.' She sighs.

I see the sun on west, almost setting. The day is almost over and the night is about to begin.

'I'll gather some woods.' I say.

Cathy follows me from behind, 'Stay here.' I say to her.

She frowns but then she walks away and sits across from Lisa. She's still not very fond of Lisa.

I begin walking past giant roots and some really annoying big leafs. There are no branches nearby. I decide to walk a bit further.

Ten minutes later I finally found some small branches lying on dirt ground. No grass grows on this particular site, that's odd.

Nevertheless, I bend my knees and begin picking up the branches from the ground.

The sun has finally set and it's quite dark around here.

Suddenly I hear a rustle, I turn around slowly and there's nothing there. Another rustle, it came from the bushes and this time I can see the bushes move.

I sigh, it's probably Cathy. She has been following me every time I went to gather some woods.

'Cathy, what are you doing there? I told you to stay with Lisa.' I grumble.

The bushes stay quiet all of the sudden. I half expected Cathy to walk outside of that bushes and approach me.

I approach the bushes and there's another rustle from there. I stop but then I approach it once more, 'Cathy?' I call.

I can't see anything past the bushes and the forest seems to be quiet, quieter than the usual.

Then I remember about the movies that I watch; how the horrible creatures jump out from the bushes.

I smile to myself, amused, how that my condition right now is just like that scene in the movies.

To my surprise, I notice two pairs of glowing eyes, glaring at me from the bushes.

My smile fades; I turn around and quickly reach for the ground. Just in time, the creature growls and takes a jump at me at the same time. The creature jumps right past me.

I quickly get up. I wasn't able to take a look at the creature, but I saw two pair of eyes. Were there two of them? Where's the other one then?

I'm not sticking around that long to find out. I run straight back in the direction of Lisa and Cathy, but then the creature takes a jump and past right above me, it lands right in front of me.

The earth trembles, the creature must be really heavy.

It's a lion, or some sort. Half part of it is still being covered by the leafs, the bushes, and the darkness.

It roars. I turn around and run to the other direction.

I run and run in the dark of night, without ever looking back. The creature hasn't caught me yet, but I know he's chasing me. I can hear the sound of trees being brought down along with the creature's heavy footsteps.

The trees are probably the things that are keeping me alive, the creature is slown down every time it hits a tree.

It also means that the creature has massive strength since it's able to knock down all those trees.

There's a hint of moonlight right in front of me, it looks really bright compared to the inside of the forest.

I run towards that light and then I'm out of the forest and into a wide open field.

The field is full of grass and it spreads quite far.

I run to the middle of the field and then I stop.

Everything is quiet all of the sudden. There's absolutely no sound. Could the creature have finally given up?

I look around and there's no sign of the creature. A small part of me is relief, but of course I was never that lucky.

The earth shakes, and it came from behind me.

I gulp, and then I slowly turn around. It's looking at me upclose and growling.

The creature is fifteen feet tall, with the tail of a serpent. It has paws and the body of a lion alongside two heads, dogs. I saw this creature once, a few years ago, during a quest with Percy and that was the cute small version of it. It's Orthrus, the big literal version of it and without its master, Eurytion.

Not even sure if this is the same Orthrus that I've encountered years ago.

'Gods help me.' I mumble as I smell Orthrus rotting breath.
