Prologue: Percy
I was about to snap. I survived around a month in Tatarus. One day longer and the dark will finally get to me. The only way I survived this long was Annabeth. She was about to drop but she looked beautiful to me. As always. Our journey was near an end. A rectangle of light shown up ahead. We tried to hurry but the Pit of Death was getting to us. Suddenly We turned a corner to reveal a whole crowd of hideous monsters. It looked like a Rhode Island. Me and Annabeth pressed into the shadows. We forgot certain things thrive in the dark.
“Well I haven’t seen a live demigod down here for a long time.” whispered a female voice. She sounded like leaves falling and streams bubbling.
“Who are you? Show yourself!” I whispered strongly didn’t want to draw attention to myself.
“I’m right in front of you dear. No need to get aggressive. I’m not like those monsters. I’m like you. A demigod once. My story, though secret, became great. The gods offer me immortality. I had no one to love, nothing to tie me to earth. Or so I thought. My best friend who turned out to love me tried to fall into Tatarus. I stopped him, but for a price. I had to jump instead he was to far down. So here I am. I’m here because of my inventions. You know I inspired the iPhone and other electronic devices? Don’t worry, I’m not going to bore you. I’m going to help you out, for a price.” the voice replied sending shivers down my back.
“What price?” I asked scared it wouldn’t cost me Annabeth.
“Why, you help me out too! I cause a diversion then you slip out and join your friends fighting some monsters out there. When you close the doors and you will, don’t worry, Allow a sliver for me to slip through. One good thing about being dead is that you can slip in between a person’s teeth. I swear on the River Styx that I would never purposely harm a demigod unless it’s for their own protection. Do we have a deal?” negotiated the ghost,god,whatever. I considered my options. I liked the promise and it was a good plan that wouldn’t involve Annabeth getting hurt. I looked into her tired gray eyes that were now almost whitish. She smiled and touched my cheek. I turned back to where the voice seemed to be coming from.
“We have ourselves a deal.” I announced. A whispered chuckle answered me. I felt a breeze like a person passed me. Suddenly fresh sticky blood filled the air. It smelled strange like it was electrocuted.
“So this is what Zeus’s kids smells like to monsters.” I murmured to myself. Annabeth squeezed my hand and I looked at her. She nodded and in that moment she looked like the Annabeth I knew before we feel into Tatarus. New strength filled my body and we pushed through the shadows. We kept our heads down in cause monsters noticed us and to avoid seeing creatures that would make us finally snap. We somehow made it too the doors. We creeped through suddenly aware of a great battle going on. Skeletons fought more monsters. Seven of our friends was leading the battle. Nico shadow traveling stabbing monsters in the back before they even seen him and getting hellhounds to fight for him. Hazel was burying monsters in insta-death jewels. Frank changing into drakon, monsters, and various beasts. Leo was grinning wickedly and using a magic sphere and making automatons fight the monsters and certain monsters catch fire. Piper was charmspeaking beasts into sitting at her fight and having little gladiator matches. Jason was electrocuting anything that came a single step near her.
Then there was Coach Hedge braining monsters with his club and screaming die at the top of his lungs. Annabeth smiled and touched my shoulder. I let her lean on me as we tried to avoid the fighting. Piper spotted us first. She tapped Jason on the shoulder and pointed toward us. Jason smiled and ran over. He put Annabeth on his back and helped us to Piper. Annabeth still held on to my hand. He set her down between him and Piper. Piper started examining her wound telling her over that it will be okay. I drew Riptide in many months and felt like I was just reborn. Happily I felt a river somewhere near me. I commanded it and a huge whirlpool circled around me. I sent whips of water to monsters. Everyone looked up at the new attack. The demigods cheered and hugged each other. The enemies just growled. I drowned them all. Soon the old seven reunited rushed the doors. Me and Jason kept the monsters away. The others fit enough closed them tight,but just before the Doors of Death were closed forever I paused them. They stared though I didn’t care. I wasn’t going to break my promise. I felt a breeze and a slim form appear. It was of a girl with jeans and a Death To Barbies T-Shirt on. She kicked a pebble with scruffy Vans. She looked up and smiled. She had short spiky purple hair and a crazy smile. The only thing off about her was deep brown eyes that seemed ageless.
“Thank you Percy Jackson. I felt it when you came to this world and I gave you my blessing as I fell. You seemed to deserved it. Now you should probably draw your attention to Annabeth and let me disappear in my mysterious magician like way.” she proclaimed. When we turned there was a flash of light with a chuckle and we were wearing casual modern cloths with fresh backpacks full of electronic devices. There was a note that said,
Dear Percy and Company,
These devices are totally me approved. They won’t attract monsters and they have all contacts you’ll ever need for the rest of your life. If you find a new contact ignore it till the time comes. Thanks for letting me go.
Sincerely,
Candace
