She knew she was having a dream because she knew that she wasn't on Olympus anymore. But, Helia thought, why am I here?

She suddenly realized why when her father appeared before her. Thanatos had chocolate-covered skin, warm, coffee-colored eyes, and big, black winds that seemed to stretch out five feet both ways. He gave her a genuine smile.

"Helia, I have some news for you." He lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry, it's not very good news. I know who the enemy is."

Helia eagerly looked up at her father, who was at least a good 6 inches taller than her. "Who is it? Will we able to defeat it?"

Thanatos closed his eyes. "It is Chaos himself," he whispered. Helia stared at him. "The black hole. The deepest pit in the underworld, even below Tartarus. I dared to venture there to find out information about this new war and I heard armies of the most terrible monsters. Helia, you must find Helios fast. He will show you what you must do." He kissed her forehead and whispered, "Good luck, my daughter."


Helia woke up shaking. She heard someone ask frantically, "Helia, are you okay?"

"Nico, what's wrong?" Annabeth asked.

"Helia's awake, but she's all tensed up, and she's shaking."

Helia suddenly blinked, and she stopped shaking. Day had turned into night, and she was in a bed with a wet towel on her forehead.

Her first word was: "What?"

Nico jumped, falling out of the chair next to her bed. "What the- HELIA!"

"Hi. I didn't die, Nico..." She laughed.

"I-I know that, but you looked like you were having a seizure, and we kind of freaked out... We're in a motel, Percy and Annabeth went to get some food... What happened?" Nico rambled.

Helia sat up in bed and took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. "A dream, Thanatos talked to me about the enemy."

"The enemy?" Nico's eyebrows went up. "He found out who it was?"

Helia started shivering and she wrapped herself with a blanket. "It's beyond what we could think of."

"Who is it?"

"Chaos." The room seemed to get gloomier, but then Percy and Annabeth walked in, laughing, arms around each other. Nico watched them with envy as they enjoyed each other's company.

"Helia! You're up," Percy said with a grin.

"What happened?" Annabeth asked, sitting down on Helia's bed.

"Panic attack, I think," she said quietly. She told them her dream.

"I think we're all gonna get panic attacks now," Percy said after a long, despondent silence.

Nico put his head in his hands, trying to think straight. "What are we going to do now? We've been put into a situation that we can't handle by ourselves."

"So we get some help," Annabeth said, eyeing Helia, who put an end to the conversation.

"We find Helios."
