Tartarus
Annabeth's Knife
Alone. Alone is how I feel. Scared. Scared is what happens if you stay here long enough. Dark. The place she dropped me is dark. Lost. I am lost until someone finds me.
I was once a strong hard knife giving from Luke to Annabeth. (AN/ I did that correctly, right? Wait, did she not get her knife back from Luke after he killed himself with it?) I was built up and brave. Every monster cowered at my presence. Once I landed here, I lost all bravery. Wait! Is that someone? I thought they would never come back! Yes! YES! Pick me up and bring me back!
Wait… That's not… Is that… It couldn't be… I thought he died from the rumors… He is… Alive.
Take me! Take me! Take me with you before you go! Bring me back! BRING ME BACK! But… two years? Is he dead? The titan he fought. Is he dead? He is walking towards me. He picks me up and sets me in his pocket.
"Come on BLANK. We have to give this to her. We have to reach BLANK in time." He said. Who is BLANK (The first one, not the second. Hint, hint.)?
I don't know how long we traveled, but we traveled quite long. Soon, BLANK knocked on the door.
"Welcome old friend. Two years from the war and here you are. Come in and have some soup. I made it myself."
Damasen
I wasn't really expecting BLANK. He came with BLANK on his head.
"Thank you Damasen. I have walked far to get here. I wonder how far it is when I last found Percy and Annabeth here."
"Well, a few months ago, I found the hole. It is about 50-70 miles from here. Here have some soup." I said. I have actually walked there. But mother told me to stay. Now would be my chance to leave this place.
"Thank you for the soup Damasen. I was wondering, would you like to come with us? We might be leaving or so."
"But BLANK! That's a two week trip if you're lucky!"
"I have to go." BLANK said. "They are depending on me. I have what it takes to defeat one of the many."
"What I it?" I asked in wonder.
"It is this." He said. He showed me the cursed blade from one of the prophecies.
"But I thought…" Damasen started.
"I tracked it down and here it is." BLANK said showing him the object." The rest of the stuff to defeat them are hidden. Most of them are carried by the owner. For example, fire, water and lightning."
"But the thing is, will they survive?"
"I don't know. But all I know, is that they will win. They have to before it spreads."
"But-"
"I know it is dangerous." BLANK said." But I have to go and give it to win. So, the real question is, are you coming?"
What should I do? I really want to come but… Mother is asleep. She won't notice… will she?
"I'll go pack my stuff. Mother most likely won't notice I am gone until I actually leave Tartarus."
So with that. I packed my house up and left with BLANK. Goodbye Tartarus, till we meet again.
Bob
I left with Damasen in tow. I guess he wasn't ready. Why did it take me longer to get here? Well I was attacked everywhere I went. My brothers were mean and scary. They ripped me up and took everything I had but Little Bob. He is the only nice family. The monsters saw me as a threat. Monsters mocked me and said that it wasn't manly to have a pet.
We walked and walked.
Two years… Who goes there? Hello? Why try to leave? Don't you love me? Father? Yes it is me. Why are you here? I just came to tell you this, wouldn't everyone hate you because you are a titan? Wouldn't Annabeth and Percy hate you for making them think you are dead? Think my son, think. Think of all the bad stuff that could happen if you came back.
That won't happen. They will help me find a home. They will welcome me.
That's what you think my son. That's what you think.
That is what will happen.
You guys will never escape. You guys will stay with me. In me. Don't you like it here? You guys will stay happy. There are friendly monsters. Of course there are your brothers. And also the humidity, but where is that not the problem these days.
GO AWAY! I must've shouted that because Damasen flinched and said, "You want me to go away?"
"Not you, I said. Just a voice in my head. Nothing else."
"Don't let Father take over you. Remember the goal we are trying to achieve. We will win."
"How did you-"I stared. But Damasen stopped me.
"One, is because you were muttering about Father. Two, this always happens to me. I could hear Fathers voice in my head too."
"Well, we better sleep. I'll take first watch. You've been walking for hours."
"Thanks Damasen." And with that, he feel into a deep sleep. I just hope Father doesn't get to him too much.
I am soooooooooo nice!
