( So I'm taking a u turn here and were going to Jason )

So Percy and Nico have been gone for almost a year now. It was June 23rd.

Now we don't know why they left or where they went. It was random and out of the blue. Thalia had quit the

Hunt. Everybody was looking as much as they could.nWe were going into war and a lot worse than before an we can't do it with out those two. They're the best shots we got at this war. And we are clueless.

Until his parents call an IM one day from Oregon.

They knew where Percy was. Portland, Oregon. Staying in a hotel. Room #7482.

So Thalia, Hazel, Grover, and myself, then this chick named Bianca, the daughter of Hades all went to Oregon. With Bianca's shadow-travel which was really cool to do we got there quickly and it was like 10 there (at night) and we found the hotel quickly and found the room and just broke down the door.

So of course he wasn't there. Stuff there and all. But he just wasn't in the room at the so be time and there was this thing on the ceiling. A star inside of a circle with these weird symbols. I don't know. Weird.

" Is it just me or does look like....devil worship?" Thalia said, pointing up and that's when we found the star circle thing.

We all agreed.

So we just waited and around 6 o' clock here comes rolling in three people. Two of which we knew. Percy and Nico plain as day. The other was a mystery.

But Thalia sure as Hades knew him.

And the three of them are fighting.

" -not your king." Nico said, first thing we heard. " Nor would I ever represent somebody even close to you. You sick bastard."

" You killed Minos and became King of Hell." This guy said.

" No." Percy disagreed. " He killed Minos becoming the King of Ghosts."

" Ghosts and demons and spirits." This guy said. " All the same.Just a little different. Ghosts are at peace with what happens. Demons are like us. Or you, for instance, Percy. We don't want your head on a stick. We just want you to join us."

" Not if I was the last man standing between Heaven and Hell." Percy said and were all confused now. Who was this guy? Why would Nico be his King? And what wants Percy to join them that's not us?

This guy laughed.

" You think this war is between Heaven and Hell." He said. " You're funny, ya know. I mean, what about you guys? Wait, my bad. Nico is already our King in this and you're already screwed in with is, Perseus so you better get comfy because it's more than Heaven and Hell. It's the Apocalypse. And you know that. Just a war on top of it."

" Wait what?" Nico asked. " I get you think that I might be your King but Percy still has an army up here to lead. Not for Heaven or for Hell. It may be to late for me. But not for him."

And they come into sight finally and this guy looks at Percy.

" You haven't told him yet." This guy said and Percy hasn't change to much. He's been in a few fights too obvious, though.

And this dude laughed. He had blond hair like mine. About 21 Id say. Percy's height. Little taller.

" Oh, you are so screwed my friend." He said at Percy who looked like he wanted to kill this guy. " 15 days you got. To tell him because if you ever get out. Your friends won't be your friends no more. And I guess that woman was right. Your loyalty would kill you."

And Percy attacked.

He was so mad but it was also a little funny to watch. But still scary because I've seen Percy mad like you wouldn't believe.

And that was taken and multiplied by like 600.

Yeah. I didn't know people were capable of that

" Shut. Up." Percy hissed and I felt a chill go down my back as he did speak that out loud.

" Well you still have it in you, I see." this guy said. " But want to know hat you forgot?"

It was silent.

" Your deadline is up." He said and Percy let him down and he sang a nursery rhyme just a little different as Hellhounds tried getting in the room.

" Hickory Dickory Dock." He said. " The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck twelve and down he fell. Hickory. Dickory. Dock."

He was silent for a second as the clock struck midnight.

" I'll see you in Hell." He said and just disappeared and here come the Hellhounds. We try to fight them but it's like Percy's brain had turned off all together and when we couldn't fight it off they attacked him. Became their personal chew toy.

I took a glance over at Nico who just stood there, staring. Obviously in the last year they got close. It made me curious if he ever told Percy how he had felt if he still did feel that way.

He didn't notice us and he acted like we weren't even there and he didn't notice this new girl, another sister of his that cared about him who didn't even know him.

No, all he did was just stare at what remained of Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, and Hero of Olympus.
