It was a dark place. Three people where cuffed. One was Merlin for sure there was a female next to his Gramps. She looked concerned about something. And her gaze went over to another person.

The person reminded him of a Spanish Santa clause elf. He wasn't even sure what this was, but he seemed to have some kind of head injury.

It was worrisome for him, but he couldn't do anything. Merlin snapped his gaze into his direction. His gaze held surprise but as well as concern. His heart was going out for his Gramps now and he was missing him.

//I will get to you. I will promise you this.//

The female stiffens, Merlin gave a slight shake of his head. But he wasn't letting them alone with this. The third person slowly opened his eyes and looked around but seemed not to see where he was.

"Well, we have a ghostly surprise here." A joke was cracked, but it was barely hearable and just the four could hear it. A silent snort was all he could give, Merlin snorted out loud and the female let out a sigh.

"Leo not the best moment to joke." She hissed back but the person called Leo cracked a grin now. It was clear that he was feeling a killer headache. But this was all that he has seen.

His eyes snapped open and he sat up instantly. Which he regretted. A wave of dizziness hit him. Someone put him softly down and his gaze went over to see both Percy and Apollo in the cabin he should have been ages.

"You passed out. First, you eat and then tell me what you have seen."

His father wasn't even letting him ask anything because he disappeared and coming back with food. He took it with a grateful look and starting to eat the meal. After this, he breathed out and starting to explain his dream.

"So, two people related to Percy and Merlin ended up getting caught into this. You choose how people you may need. I will have to leave now, sadly." He nodded and was left alone now with Percy. The male looked worried sickly now.

//I want Will in that team but not sure that it is a good idea.// He decided to mention because Will would help for injuries and he feared that this was what they needed.

"I was the same opinion, but Annabeth would want to join as well as Hazel. Even Frank but I think with Will, Nico, and us two it should be working out well." He thought about it and wasn't sure. They could need another person and Annabeth was the daughter of Athena.

//Maybe Annabeth? She could come in handy with her skill.// At least he assumed that she was someone who knows how to fight.

"Well, right now we are rather on tense terms. But I will try to get her to help us. You talk to Will, but first, let's see how your blood value is." He nodded as pricking his fingers and breathing out as seeing that it got back up. So, he slipped out and trying to find Will.

People whispered, and he felt his cheeks heat up. It took him not too long to find the two. Both were at the archery. Nico watching and Will teaching other people shooting. His gaze was fond, and he seemed to enjoy watching Will teach.

//What will they say? Will, they even accept me now?...//

A shaky sigh was all that he could give before walking up to them. What does he do now? He still felt off about this entire thing. But he wondered how he was fine. How could he just walk around and not freak out? Scream anything. There was nothing but calmness. Another sigh escaped as he walks up.

//Uh, hi Nico.// His voice sounded soft and awkward. It was clear that he wasn't really sure how to react. The called-out person let out a string of curses and head snapped towards him.

"You scared me shitless, Hikaru." His voice was breathless, and he heard his breath a bit faster.

//Sorry...// He could just send and Nico let out a sigh and giving him a soft expression. His gaze looked anywhere else now. They have seen what happened probably even Percy, but the male was pretty much freaking out.

"It's alright. You don't have really any other way to contact us. Anyway, how are you? Are you better now?" His gaze went over to Will, who stopped teaching and letting Chiron continue. Then he walked up, and he felt his body fidgeting at the gaze of Will.

"Thank god. I was actually worried, but I couldn't visit you and Percy either." By now he was pulled into a hug by Will. At first, he stiffened but soon relaxed and hugging him back. The hug soon left and he gave the two an apologetic expression.

//My Gramps, Percy's mother, and someone called Leo got kidnapped. I don't know why but I and Percy were tasked to find them. I wanted to ask you two to join us.//

He wasn't sure what would come but they needed people. They needed more than just the two. Will looked instantly concerned, but Nico looked ready to murder someone. Never had he seen someone that angry.

"I am going to fight whoever that is and I will make sure that they never touch my family."

Nico hissed out and starting to drag both him and Will towards Chiron. The male was looking puzzled but soon looked serious.

"Leo got kidnapped and it seemed that Sally as well. There is Merlin who is the Gramps from Hikaru. Me, Will, Percy and he will go for a rescue mission." Chiron wanted to argue but Annabeth and Percy were now walking towards them. Both seemed to be tense and none really looking at each other.

"The gods did ask us and either way I am going. Annabeth comes with us. We should be fine." Chiron let out a sigh and have a look that told him that this wasn't the first time.

"When this is the god's will, I can't change it. Just be careful and I wish you good luck." He nodded and they ended up soon going. But not without people see them off after they packed their things.

//Well, we need to get to England.// But how could they get there? There was just no way that he had just a teleportation spell and he just got taught magic. He had memorized some spells but they wouldn't be enough and all he hoped that they wouldn't have to use planes or something like this.

"I can use shadow travel and get us there, but then we have to walk." He wasn't minding but Will seemed to think about something. His brother clearly was against it and even Percy seemed to be concerned about this. Annabeth was silent but her gaze had the same concern.

"Guys, I will be fine. I am stronger since then and have full control over my shadow travel." The concern stayed but, in the end, he used it. Nico seemed exhausted and he breathed out and went over. His thoughts spell was said and soon Nico seemed to be better.

But this was making him feel lightheaded.

"You moron. You didn't have to heal me." A slight smile was given, and he breathed out as pulling out a chocolate bar. He started to eat it but had to sit down.

"Is this really the right timing to eat something?" Annabeth said and he let out a sigh as giving her a sign.

"I have a condition that makes me have low blood sugar. Without eating this I will pass out. Sorry that I will hold you back." Her expression changed to something akin to guilt and concern.

"Sorry, and that is odd. Never had a demigod issue with their health. Do you know the cause of it is?" Her voice was held now curious and concern as well. It made sense when you knew who her mother was.

"A curse. We don't know why but he got cursed." He gave Will a look that told him otherwise, but he hadn't signed anything. Continued eating the second bar. His lightheaded feeling went slowly away, and he felt better.

The familiar device was given to him after around 10 minutes and he looked at the blood levels. A sigh went out as he gave a thumb's up. They started their search.
