Hazel's POV
I watched as more and more of my breakfast and lunch spewed out of my mouth and over the side of the boat into the water below. Where, much to my disgust, I could see a small school of fish circling. One occasionally snatching a chunk of ABC food in his mouth. I shuddered and turned away from the sight. My stomach lurching again at the sudden movement.
Unfortunately even after all the time we'd already been on the water my body still hadn't adjusted to the sea life. Which left me in constant various stages of sea sickness, ranging from moderate to severe.
This was one of my more severe spells of sea sickness. Thankfully it seemed to be dying down a bit.
I slowly sunk down till the pockets of my jeans touched the wooden floor boards and my faded purple Camp Jupiter t-shirt was pressed up against the cool metal railings of the ship. Double checking my right pocket I made sure that Frank's wood was still there, safe and sound.
Frank.
Gods I still loved him. I do, right? But the way he treated Leo just makes me wince in disgust. He has no reason, more than jealousy, to dislike Leo.
Sure, he fired on Rome but we, including Percy, all know that Leo had no control over his actions then. And the thing with Sammy, I understand in the beginning that it was logical for him to worry about that, but now? When Leo has given us no reason to mistrust him, no move that even shows he's interested in me or wants to "steal me away" from Frank makes me wonder what exactly Frank was thinking. He can't possibly still think that Leo would try to steal me away just because of that.
Another wave of sickness sweeps over me as a particularly large wave makes the boat sway and rock harder than usual. I stand up and quickly turn so that whatever food is left in my stomach ends up in the water and not on the deck.
When I move to turn back around and sit back down again I something off in the distance. A grey little strip. Land?
Land!
That must mean we've reached Athens.
I yell, "Land! GUYS I CAN SEE ATHENS!!!"
Something about the place seems off though. There are still pedestrians walking around and the occasional dog but something about the place seems weird to me. As if everyone is a bit scared, for a city like this it's just a bit too quiet.
~mystery guy's POV~
We have prepared all the rooms for the demigods. Now, we must hope that they will come with us willingly. If not...then we'll have to bring them by force.
My lieutenant walks into the room, "Captain."
"Yes? What is it?"
"The demigods have arrived. I dispatched the troops about an hour ago and they are in their proper positions." I nod.
"Grab my armour and sword."
"What sir? I thought you were staying here."
"Grab my armour and sword."
He nods, "Of course sir, my apologies."
