Scene changes to the Lair of Charybdis

You must be who Hermes mentioned
A monster here to block my way

"Charybdis is the monster?" asked Grover.

"Yeah." said Annabeth and Frank.

"Oh... the memories..." said Clarisse.

"Yeah..." said Percy.
I'd like to hurry up and end this

"He's treating her as if she was a small errand." said Thalia.

"'She'?" asked Leo. "This is a large mouth with teeth."

"Oh, 'when danger greets you with a smile'," said Nico. "He was talking about Charybdis."

"Oh, yeah." said Will.

"Well, Charybdis was a daughter of Poseidon and she helped her father with the sea taking over all land but Zeus didn't like that and turned her into... this." said Reyna.

"Classic Zeus." said Jason.

So if you don't have much to say

Then, oh, bring it on
I'm not dying here, I'm still fighting here
I'm holding on
'Til I see it through, 'til I've beaten you

"I love the confidence." said Piper.

"Yeah, I thought that it was fading away from those years in Ogygia." said Frank.

Charybdis groans

"Was that a moan?" asked Leo.

Everyone bursted out laughing.

"Leo!" slapped Piper. "Don't be so dirty!"

I already know your tactics
When you swallow you attack with whirlpools that attract prey

"I thought she was the whirlpool." said Jason.

"Common misinterpretation," said Annabeth. "Her powers are making whirlpools but she is just a giant mouth with large teeth as Leo mentioned."

"Yes!" smirked Leo.
But I see a disadvantage, 'cause I don't even have to kill you
I just have to avoid you
See, if you don't spit it out soon, all that water will destroy you

"That's really smart." said Thalia.

"Yeah, even a monster needs to breathe." said Nico.

Oh, bring it on
'Til you're out of breath, 'til there's nothing left
I'm holding on
'Til I'm in the clear, 'til I'm out of here, oh

Charybdis spits out the water

"Yes!" said everyone.

Odysseus escapes Charybdis

"He did it!" said Hazel.

"He really did!" smiled Frank.

Scene changes to Ithaca's shores

There, I see it
The island I've been searching for
Home

"He's so close..." said Percy.

"The closest he's been since the wind bag." said Annabeth.

"There really can't be anything left to stop him." said Leo.

"Leo!" shouted everyone.

"What?!"

"Don't go around jinxing it!" said Piper.

"Idiot!" said Jason.

I've reached it
My wife and son are past these shores

"See, there is nothing to be afraid of." said Leo.

"Again!" said Thalia.

"Hold him still so I can beat him up." said Reyna.
Holding on
I am almost there
My love, don't be scared
Hold on
I am on my way
I'll be there today
Penelope

"What's with the music?" asked Grover.

"Oh no..." said Percy.

What?

Trident glows

Everyone stared at Percy. His nightmares are happening...
No
No!
