Chapter 8~

PERCY POV

The sounds of a forge was echoing all around me. Everything I could see seemed to be a shade of red, orange or black. The heat was intence but I knew that it wouldn't harm me even if I decided to bathe in the fiery embers of the forge in front of me.

To one side of the forge was a figure using a hammer and an anvil, smashing down onto a red hot strip of bronze. At first sight, you would probably think the figure was a monster because of its size, bronze leg, masses of hair and the oddly shaped face. But because of my surroundings I realised, the monster is Infact a god. Hephaestus.

On instinct, I shielded my eyes as a golden Flash appeared and I thought I was going crazy since when I saw the light dim, I saw myself but older, around maybe 30.

"what reasons do you have for being in my presence, Poseidon?" Hephaestus' voice was a rather gravelly noise which would be from all the smoke coming from the forge. Then I realised that threw second god was inactivated my father.

"we must talk about Perseus. I cannot allow his life to burn out because of your power of flames." my father has never contacted me before and now he's trying to find a way to save me? Doesn't seem right to me.

"if I remember correctly, it is my power that the boy would have received no matter what. There for it is the ocean which is putting out the light within him. It is you who has caused his death." Poseidon was shocked at Hephaestus'statement, seeing the truth in his words.

"I understand. But he is under both of our care. Don't you see the potential in him. One forth of the blood running through his body comes from you. Already his control over fire is stronger then any fire user demigod ever to step foot on earth. We haven't even seen him try to craft yet. I can only hope his power over the sea is anything like what it is over flames. But the way he is right now, I don't see him surviving until his next birthday. He need to think of something. Please... " Poseidon sounded close to tears which really caught Hephaestus'attention.

"I have an idea Poseidon... I will work on a device which will dampen one power whilst he uses another. So when he uses flames, he can't call on the sea. When he calls on the sea, fire will not aid him. It will take a bit but it will be done. Keep in mind that this isn't permanent. It will extend his life line but only by 5 years max."

"thank you Hephaestus. We will find a way to save him. I believe he will be a great hero, once who will put all the children of Zeus too shame. He will make us proud." a tear slid down the side of Poseidon's face as Hephaestus simply nodded his head. That was the last thing I saw before everything around me started to spin. I became dizzy pretty quick and when I thought I was going to pass out, I woke up...

It was just a dream... And yet it wasn't just a dream.

"how lo... How long was I out?" when I spoke it felt like razors were having a disco in my throat... Not fun.

"couple hours... Better then last time." Thalia offered her hand with a worried look written all over her face. I accepted her help and she pulled me to my feet. Instantly my head started spinning and I dropped back to my knees. A familiar feeling overwhelmed me and I was coughing. Pain spreading through my throat and lungs. After what seemed like 10 minutes, finally stopped coughing and opened my eyes to the ground covered in blood. Red and gold mixing together, fighting for dominance.

I looked up to see who was left in this god damned quest. Phoebe was going through the mountain of trash, which the metal giant it's sleeping peacefully on, trying to find Bianca. Zoë and Thalia were watching me with a worried expressions.

"we have too ke..*cough*.. Keep moving. The prophecy told us this would happen. We don't ha... "

"WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE BOY! BIANCA WAS JOINING THE HUNT AND WE DON'T LEAVE OUR SISTERS BEHIND! " Phoebe interrupted me mid sentence and continued ranting about the hunt and Bianca. Truthfully, I was afraid. Not of Phoebe but of Zoë joining her. To my relief, she didn't.

"he is right Phoebe, the prophecy said this would happen and their is no changing that."

Phoebe settled at Zoë reasoning with her, thankfully. She huffed in annoyance and jumped into the cab of a rusty pick up truck.

"Zoë, you should probably drive. I don't feel safe sitting with Phoebe." I suggested. Zoë just nodded and jumped in the car. Thalia and I just jumped in the back and we drove.

A/N hey guys. I just wanted to say that next chapter will skip straight to where Artemis gets saved. Also I have a new idea forming for the story so the name will probably be getting changed. I'll let you guys know. Review, favorite and follow and I'll catch y'all later.
