Percy's pleading eyes burned through to the woman, she honestly looked like a small child who was begging their parents for something. It wasn't like the daughter of Poseidon was trying to manipulate her into handing over the information, in fact Percy didn't realise she was even doing it.
"If you truly want to know then I shall tell you what I know but I can not tell you anything that is pure speculation. It will do you no good,"
"I understand," said Percy, her voice still hovering at its quiet tone.
"As I have said before, there were others here before you. These others had something about them that made them important. Something you could possibly share with them. Once they set foot here they couldn't leave afterwards, they could only go places that they are allowed to go to."
"What?" percy asked, her voice dripping with fear but also curiosity.
"Try it. Go towards the balcony, try to step out onto it."
Slowly, Percy pushed her body towards the edge of the bed, her feet clearly dangling as she came closer towards the cold floor. Once her feet touched the floor she moved over towards the balcony door, her small hand pushed the curtain to the side as she opened the door, she looked back towards the woman who nodded towards the younger girl. Lifting her hand percy reached it out towards the balcony through the doors when a shearing pain flooded her as she hit a forcefield of sorts. It hurt like hell. Percy felt tears pricking at her eyes as she whipped her head towards the older woman who had a sad look upon her face.
"As I said they couldn't leave, they couldn't go anywhere without permission, if you are given permission you can move to different places but sometimes getting that permission has questionable methods, it sometimes requires a deal or a game of sorts. If they had any special abilities like you as i assume you have gifts over the sea much like your father,"
Percy had forgotten about that, she had completely forgotten she had powers she could use to help her find a way to get out but something told her that she wasn't going to like what the woman said next.
"Those gifts were blocked. They could not use them as you can not use them. Someone from outside could but you can'T"
"So say my father were to find me he would be able to use his powers." The woman nodded. That was good, at least she had some hope.
"But none of the others left, I don't know what they wanted but it all seems like a sick game, none of the others won and I'm afraid there may not be a way to win. Which means you may meet the same fate as them."
"And what is that?"
"Your soul will belong to them forever."
Ares was getting frustrated he kept getting that god's damned pain in his chest, it wasn't that painful at the moment but it came and went. But now it was getting worse and he could almost feel fear. Not his fear but someone else's. He had begun training by himself and now he was regretting it as the pain was causing him to feel faint. He hadn't even noticed he was fallwing when he heard voices call his name in a panic. Hermes and Apollo, his brothers, had rushed to his side steadying their brother. Apollo being the god of healing scanned his brother but couldn't find anything wrong. What was happening to him?
