Hey Guys! I have found MOTIVATION! Yeah, I will be continuing this story. I just won't be able to update every day. Maybe one chapter a week. Hope that works for you.
Percy POV
Hades came back and faced me, his Helm of Darkness sending chills down my spine. "Athena gave you three days. You have twelve hours left. Also, I have a prophecy to give you."
"I already know two prophecies. I don't need to know another one." I retorted.
"Yes, but this one concerns you and the goddess of wisdom's daughter." said Hades. I clenched my fists. Hades took it as a go ahead.
At the end of this quest
You will know no rest
Separated once more
To even up a score
You are doomed Percy Jackson
To live forever without refraction
And with that, the god of the Underworld vanished. "I really love these talks we have!" I shouted out. The waves lapped up on the shoreline.
"You busy?" asked a voice. I turned around and saw Annabeth. I walked up to her and hugged her.
"Kind of. I just got a prophecy from Hades, but yeah, everything is cool." I replied. I kissed her forehead, put my hands in my pockets and walked away.
"Percy…" I blinked back tears and kept walking. She couldn't know. Know that the prophecy has already begun. There was no point in spending every bit of my time with her. It would only hurt me more when I would have to leave. Suddenly I felt like Nico. I took out a drachma and found a small pond. A bit of light was shining on the water and I took out a piece of glass. I formed a rainbow and threw the drachma in.
"O Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Jason Grace." The water rippled and I saw Jason. "I'm going ahead with the plan." I didn't wait for him to reply. I had twelve, wait, eleven hours left. I found some ambrosia in my pocket and I figured that it would be enough, just in case something was to happen. I reached for my pen and uncapped it. It turned into Riptide. At least I know that it's working. Wouldn't want to have a faulty pen-sword in a battle. I remembered Persephone saying something about a hidden door into the Underworld through Camp Half-Blood, however, being the lovely goddess that she is, she failed to mention where. Suddenly there was a flash of light and naturally, I averted my eyes. In front of me was a woman in a white dress. Her cold calculating stare gave me two choices as to who which goddess it was. I decided to go with Hera.
"Lovely seeing you again. I mean, the last time we met you kind of wiped my memory." Hera harrumphed.
"I'm glad to see that your memory is back. But I'm not here to wipe it again, although I really wouldn't mind doing it. Anyway, your quest is moving a bit slow and the tabloid's on Mount Olympus are dying to publish more on this issue. So I will provide the correct structure of the Death Prophecy." Hera's staff appeared in her hand and she waved it in the air.
Six will go
To the River of Woe
You shall travel alone
To death's home
One will lie
One will die
Bargain with the god
On his sod
Your friend, he will send
But you will pay the price in the end
The quest will succeed
Only if he is allowed to lead
After that, she disappeared. Well at least that'll be useful. Through my empathy link with Grover, I called him. Grover, I called. Where are you?
With Juniper, he replied. Why?
Need ride to Underworld. And the connection died.
