Luxa's Pov

I was confused. Gregor was back in the castle! How? He left for Virginia last year. There's no way to get back! There's no other entrance... No, wait... There's the one in the Deadlands. I'll find out soon enough.

I walk back into the room, and Gregor was getting fawned over. Then he saw me.

"Luxa! Luxa!" Gregor yelled, running towards me. I couldn't stop myself from smiling and laughing when he came to hug me, then froze and kneeled. I gestured for him to stand up, and hugged him.

Percy's Pov

"What are you? What Warrior?" I would have kept going, but the... Bug? Whatever it is, it silenced me.

"We will take you to humans. They need to see you."

*****

I went up the elevator (by the way, it was worse than the Doors of Death, and that's saying a lot) and was in a room full of people too occupied by another boy to notice my entrance.

Finally a girl with silver hair turned around. Actually, all of them but that boy I mentioned had silver hair. Anyway, she noticed me, and collapsed. Another girl turned around, one wearing a band of gold around her head, and helped her up. Now everyone was staring at me.

"And who are you?" The banded one said.

"I could say the same thing." I replied.
