The first place they ended up was on a beach in Greece, by the Aegean sea. The smell of the sea hit their nostrils, Percy smiled at the smell whereas Nico seemed to grimace a little.
"Let's search for my fathers old palace, I will form an air bubble around you, Nico." Percy said.
Nico nodded.
They both stepped into the sea and formed an air bubble for Nico, the two started to swim down towards the old palace grounds, but as they swam sea life, kept greeting Percy with a "My lord." and seemed to make a disgusted face at Nico, if that was even possible.
The grounds of the old grand palace looked much like Olympus did, all in ruin, pillars laid everywhere, rooms were demolished. The room that would have been the throne room in the center, no longer existed; the room was just debris. Nothing seemed to survive down here. It looked as if no sea life dared to venture into the old palace.
As the two looked around, surprisingly there was a pillar or two that seemed to stay standing, what it held up was up for debate.
Percy swam over to the pillars to inspect them but as he did, he seemed to be called to the old, broken throne. He swam over towards it, sitting in it.
As he sat in it, the palace seemed to start to repair itself, and in the centre of the newly rebuilt throne room, a rusty silver crown appeared. "You'd think they'd make it non-rustable" Percy said as he went and grabbed it.
Nico stifled a laugh.
Percy rolled his eyes at Nico's laugh, and took them both back to the surface, back to the beach they arrived at.
"To Cape Matapan, to an old cave that happens to be an entry to the underworld." Nico spoke, looking at Percy.
Percy spoke "How about we stay here for an hour or so, we can enjoy the beach."
Nico let out a heavy sigh before he nodded. "Fine."
Meanwhile under the sea, in a cavern away from the kingdom of Atlantis, there was a cave full of disgruntled children of Poseidon.
"Order!" Kymopoleia yelled. "We train now and strike when they least suspect it."
Grumbles could be heard, but most agreed with their sister.
A tall giant stood up, mechanical eyes whirring. "I will distract Artemis and her hunt again so they will be taken out if Poseidon tries to call for any kind of back up."
"Thank you Orion." Kymopoleia replied.
Orion nodded; everyone started to train, waiting for the incoming storm that was due.
Kymoploeia smiled, her plan, her birth right would soon be in her grasp.
She looked around at the council of her siblings who had enough of Poseidon's neglect, they had been forgotten but now they wouldn't be.
Kymoploeia had an evil grin on her face, she swam up towards the mortal world; Camp Half-blood for that matter. She could hear her sister calling for her– but she knew nothing of the demigods, nor how their brother operated.
She surfaced near camp half-bloods beach, where an unexpecting latino elf was sunbathing. She smirked as she appeared, and shifted her figure, to suit what she thought the demigod would go after.
Long hair, crop-top, shorts– she hated mortal clothing, but it got the job done; being sneaky about it was smart, after all. She walked over and sat next to Leo, "Hey there, Sexy." She said; wasn't that what mortals said?
Leo looked at her, mouth open. She was beautiful indeed, and she made sure that she looked it.
But he remembered the Titaness that he was dating, and her plan fell apart.
"Hey but no, I have a girlfriend." Leo squeaked out.
That only just made Kymoploeia enraged. She was not good enough for him? Her form had been perfect!
As her true godly form took shape, a large and violent wave appeared behind her. The wave crashed down onto the beach, sweeping poor Leo into it, she now had a hostage- Percy's friend at that.
An air bubble was around Leo, the goddess took her new prisoner to the cavern the council of "We hate Poseidon." was gathered in.
As Leo was put behind a makeshift prison of stone, he growled out; "Percy will seek you out for taking me."
The goddess smirked, "Good; that's what we want."
Meanwhile, Nico had finally convinced Percy to leave to find his own crown. The shadows under Nico's control wrapped around them, taking them to the cave that Poseidon had told them about.
The entry to the cave was old, and run down. It was now a narrow passage between 2 rocks covered in moss.
The two slipped by the moss covered rocks, tightly breathing in and when they were in they exhaled.
The cave was dimly lit. Moss and bones seemed to cover the floor and walls, but they two walked on. Close together… Holding hands.
As they kept walking, it became evident that it used to be a passageway to the underworld, however what caught Nico's attention was a stygian iron crown, sticking out of one of the moss covered walls.
As he grabbed it, a large boulder seemed to drop down and the two had to run.
So that they did, they ran and the only way they could lead them into a deep black cave.
So they had to run and jump, they had no other way, so they jumped and as they fell, they seemed to fall for ages. Eventually, they landed in Persephone's gardens, in her favourite plants so they got up and ran into the throne room.
"Oh shit, we are gods we could have just teleported." Nico spoke, face planting.
As the two grumbled; they now had the crowns but had no clue what to do with them, that they would have to figure out alone.
Kymopoliea smirked at Leo as she iris message Percy, "Dear Brother, looky who I have." She had her blade to Leo's neck.
