chapter 13
I look at Annabeth and Chiron who were white as paper "what the hell are these things?!" I yell at them as the things came closer "it can't be" Annabeth says but Chiron shakes his head "It is child" he says and aims his bow at them. I roll my eyes "Guys! I need to know what the hell these things are!" I yell while throwind a strike to the lady with the snake tail "Percy watch out!" Alpha yells and I barely dodge a tail "lamia and charmers, they're both supposed to be extinct but aparently not" Annabeth says while gliding down the hill and stabbing a lamia in the tail, she disintigrates into gold dust while Annabeth moves on to the next person/ thing/ creature.
I stab, slash, hack and stab through the monsters around me until it's only the charmers left "how do we kill them?" I ask but she shakes her head "nobody's ever killed a charmer besides the gods" she says. So only gods can kill them....great. I step into the group "good meat" the one says lifting her whip but I grab it ignoring the pain flaring up my arm from the tiny needles sticking into my skin and it feels like it's on fire and stab her through her chest, the others hiss at me but I slash in a circle despite all my training saying it's dangerous, bringing them all down.
I walk out of the circle of golden dust and back up the hill "guys I have to see Chaos!" I yell at them and they all nod "keep the camp safe and the campers out of trouble please" I say, directing it at Luke and Bianca. Wait...I stop in my tracks and turn around running down the hill to Bianca's side while grinning widely with a hint of a smirk, I kiss her slowly and gently for a second or two and when I pull back ask "Luna will you be my girlfriend?", she smiles and nods, I hear most of the team yell "finally!" and the girls "awwwwww".
I smile at them before I turn and open a portal which is kind of like a swirling vortex of black and green and redish and a bit of gold "see you guys in a bit, ok?" I say turning around and they nod. I had no idea that I would be getting massive news there and I had no time to prepare for it so I stepped through I felt like I was falling through space for a second and then I landed in.....the underworld?! What the heck?!
I look around and up and see it is the underworld, same stalagmites hanging from the ceiling and the black aura of death surrounding you like the death mist that surrounded me and Annabeth during our trip to Tartarus while we were at the doors of death. Why am I here? I thought about the Chaos palace not this place, I don't even know what this place is! How did I get here? Where is here?! All these questions run through my mind as I look around.
I see a faint silver glow off in the distance but it isn't as scary as Artemis' silver glow around her cabin like "come near and I will turn you into a jackalope" but a welcoming, home-like feeling like Hestia's hearth but a silver glow instead of a hearh. I start walking to the glow and as it becomes brighter it becomes more powerful like the gods but....different, in a way. I finally get to the sourse and see a...dragon?
My eyes widen and flash in alarm but it speaks in english!
