Silence settled upon the dining pavilion.

That book is really something, it reminds me of Dad and Aunt Michaela. They did something one way, and the next time they do something different.

"Wait." I called out. "So, does that mean you don't know what killed Dad in the first place?" I ask the still open book.

'It is a mystery to me. Ask and you shall receive...' The cursive letters glowed three feet in the air again.

"All you do is ask and it answers?" Mom asked me.

"Yes. The book even showed us past events, twice. The book is an ancient book of secrets. And, it holds Dad's and Aunt Michaela's secrets." I informed everyone.

"If I ask, how come Lady Athena or anyone else can't find out what language they speak?" Clarisse asked.

'Daughter of Ares, the answer is simple. It is part of the curse...' The writing spelled out.

"What curse?" Uncle Nico asked.

'It was named The Curse of The Children of The Sea. The curse was sealed when Lady Michaela died and Lord Perseus had made the promise to forget her. Before then, they made a secret language to protect themselves. Lady Michaela pleaded for a way to communicate with her brother without anyone knowing what they are saying. It worked, if I cannot translate what they are saying. Only when the language is written it is easier to translate, but if you know the secret of the language your brain scrambles it when it is spoken. The curse should not be taken lightly, they can feel the other. Sometimes what the other physically feels. Though, it is mostly emotions that are shared between them...'

I blinked, I did not know that.

"How did the Fates say they didn't know where Percy was? And, how did his life cord disintegrated all those years ago?" Hazel asked.

'Due to the curse. The Fates never could determine their future. It started the day they met. Their destinies intertwined and they hold their own future. Their power is unmatched. Lord Perseus and Lady Michaela sparred with Chaos a few times, and together they have defeated him time after time again...Their power is unmatched. That is why, they were destined for power...Never corrupted by their power...'

We were all shocked to hear that. Did they really have had that much power?

"Amelia, where did you get this book?" Chiron asked me.

"Eric found it in the Alaskan cabin. He didn't want anything to do with it, but I wanted to learn what it was about. I didn't find out about the Ancient Book of Secrets until yesterday morning." I replied.

"That's why you ran down here for Eric? To tell him." Piper stated.

I nodded.

"I personally call it the Strange Book."
