Percy's P.O.V

A loud crash filled the air and I heard Natasha cry out. I raced towards the sounds and saw Natasha lying on the floor and someone was leaning over her. No. Is it? It can't be. It is.

Khione.

She tapped Natasha's forhead and turned her to ice then turned to me with a cold smile.

"Oh hello Perseus. I'm going to take her to the land beyond the gods. If you want her back, trade places with her. See you soon." She told me and disappeared. I whistled and Mrs O' Leary appeared. I got on her immediately.

"To the land beyond the gods!" I shouted and Mrs O' Leary ran into a shadow. As soon as we landed I jumped off. Mrs O' Leary whined and pawed at her ears.

"Go home girl." I told her. She didn't hesitate to shadow travel back home. I was left alone in the land beyond the gods.
