Scene changes to an island
Captain, I have something that I must confess
Something that I must get off my chest
Until it is said, I cannot rest
"Ooh, a secret?" asked Piper. "What is it?"
"Oh yeah, children of Aphrodite and how much they love their gossip." said Annabeth.
"Girl, you need to get back to reality." said Thalia.
Captain?
Eurylochus, go make sure this island is secure
But captain
"Can he not understand that he wants to be left alone." said Grover.
"Exactly, the signs are incredibly obvious." said Percy.
"Avoiding him, losing his chance of getting home, betrayal." said Jason. "Just leave him alone!"
There's only so much left we can endure
Whatever you need to say can wait some more
Of that, I'm sure
Okay
"He understood!" congratulated Leo.
"No, he's following orders." said Frank.
"Like a good crew member." said Thalia.
"I've got to say that he may not be the most positive guy but he always follows orders when given." said Reyna. "And that deserves some respect."
Eurylochus take his crew to explore the island
A while later on Eurylochus returns
Eurylochus, back so soon?
"Where is his crew?" asked Will.
Where's the rest of your crew?
"There's your answer." said Nico.
"That wasn't an answer." replied Will.
"Which means..."
Will stayed quiet, unsure.
"We will find out later." sighed Nico. "Just listen."
And by the Gods, what happened to you?
We came across a palace
"Those are never good." said Piper.
"Agreed." said Clarisse.
"You've got to love the..." started Annabeth.
"Architecture." finished everyone.
"We all know you, Wise Girl." smirked Percy.
"Shut up, Seaweed Brain." laughed Annabeth.
Inside we heard a voice
It seemed to show no malice
"Must be a type of sorceress." guess Jason.
"Not Medea." groaned Piper.
"I hate her." said Leo.
"That sorceress is a lot of trouble." said Jason. "And her charmspeaking just gives me the chills."
"But it might not even be a sorceress." said Frank. "Could be sirens as well."
"Last I checked, sirens live in the water and not in a palace." said Leo.
"Fair enough but it might not be Medea or even a sorceress. Remember that."
To greet it was our choice
But nothing could prepare us for the power that awaited inside
"Nothing?!" said Frank, surprised.
"That is a very strong word." said Percy. "He fought in a war for a decade and lived to tell the tale."
"And survived the wrath of Poseidon." added Leo.
"And escaped Polyphemus and more cyclopes." said Grover.
"And don't forget the Lotus Eaters." said Jason.
"Aren't you guys forgetting something? Their ship was flying in the sky?" said Reyna.
"And Greek heroes are naturally trained the best and Athena was his personal mentor which makes him more deadly than so many soldiers." said Annabeth. "Who is this sorceress or sorcerer? God or Goddess? What is this creature?"
What did this palace hide?
Sir, since we left home we've faced a variety of foes from a wide range of places
"Can he stop chit-chat and just tell us who it is!" growled Thalia.
"You really are impatient." said Reyna.
"So?"
"Nothing, I give you my respect."
Gods, monsters, you know the roster, hostile creatures that we could resist
But this was a hell of a twist, cause we are weak to a power like this
What was it?
"That's what I was saying!" moaned Leo.
"Just tell us!" said Hazel.
A woman
What?
"Why is he so surprised?" asked Reyna, angrily.
"Women are strong!" growled Thalia.
"Yes!" agreed Piper, Hazel and Annabeth.
She had us in just two words
Flashback
Come inside
Damn
"Indeed." said Percy.
Grover started to begin laughing and soon Thalia and Percy joined in.
"What's so funny?" asked Jason.
"That's what I've been wondering about for around four years." said Anabeth.
Welcome to the best part of your lives
Go ahead and rest wherever you like
I've got you, don't worry Circe's got you now
"Circe?!" said Clarisse.
"She isn't that bad." said Annabeth.
"She turned me into a guinea pig." said Percy.
"And a cute one at that."
Only I stayed outside, but the rest went in
"For watch duty." said Annabeth.
"Clever." said Jason.
Take a seat
Let me bring you all something to eat
I bet you're tired from the years spent on your feet
"Oh, I would have fallen for it one hundred percent." said Percy.
"And we did." said Annabeth.
"But with that description all of us would have." said Leo.
"True! Who wouldn't want a break." said Will.
I've got you, don't worry Circe's got you now
By the time they ate, it was far too late
For inside the meal (Think of your past)
She had cast a spell (And your mistakes)
"Classic Circe move." said Annabeth.
They began to squeal (They'll be the last)
And grow snouts and tails (Mistakes you'll make)
"That would seem disgusting." said Grover. "You did all of that for me?"
"Of course we did." said Percy.
"Thanks, man."
She changed them
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I'm a puppeteer, yeah
"She's the one pulling the strings. She has all the power." said Annabeth.
"So she's a puppeteer." added Leo.
"Good job."
"Thanks! Hanging out with a daughter of Athena has been helping me a lot."
They transformed (This is the price)
And it wasn't quick (We pay to live)
She turned our men (The world does not)
From men to pigs (Tend to forgive)
"That doesn't seem good." said Jason.
"I wouldn't want that." said Piper.
"To be fair, I would much rather be a guinea pig than an actual pig."
She changed them
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
We have to go save them
No we don't
"Oh, the negativity again." moaned Frank.
"Can't he just take a break?" questioned Jason.
"I hope he does." said Hazel. "I'm getting really tired of him."
Look at all we've lost and all we've learned
Every single cost is so much more than what we've earned
"True, they have faced a lot." said Jason.
"Agreed." said everyone.
Think about the men we have left before there's none
Let's just cut our losses, you and I, and let's run
"Fleeing is cowardice!" grunted Clarisse. "And I was starting to like you as well for your courage."
Of course I'd like to leave now, of course I'd like to run
But I can hardly sleep now knowing everything we've done
There's no length I wouldn't go if it was you I had to save
I can only hope you'd do the same
"Yes, man! Do it." said Grover.
"Good luck." said Percy.
"We believe in you." said Hazel.
I can hear her still (No one will find)
And her voice deceives (Their way between)
What if she can't be killed? (My nymphs and I)
Will you choose to leave? (Their loving queen)
"Stop that!" shouted Jason.
"He's being more brave than you!" shouted Frank.
"Stop questioning his decisions!" screamed Hazel.
I don't know
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
She's a clever witch (This is the price)
And she's hard to slay (We pay to love)
It's a game of wits (We draw the line)
But you don't have to play (Watch from above)
I have to try
"Yes! Try!" said Percy.
"We are all here for you, Odysseus." said Will.
"Except Eurylochus." said Nico.
I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer
No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
