Haha! That last question was a trick question! Percy doesn't have a middle name. Rick said so. (see below)

So yeah. Trick question! Hahahahahaha!!!! I'm so evil

Percy P.O.V.

Torture in Tartarus sucks. 

Honestly, I've lost track of time down here. I don't know if the others are looking for me, I assume that they aren't because no demigod would intentionally go to Tartarus, so I hatch a plan to escape. The plan is simple honestly. Get out of where ever I am and find the doors of death.

I wait until Tartarus leaves my cell to unlock the chains. While I've been down here I've practiced my water powers. Now I can manipulate the moisture in the air, so I use that power to unlock the cell door and my chains. I walk outside my cell and find myself next to the river of fire. I know that I can follow the river to the doors of death. 

The doors of death are my only hope.

I follow the river to the doors of death. I find a bone on the floor to use to keep the button pressed while I'm in the elevator. I prop the bone up with it on the button and get in. I ride the elevator up to the surface, and it spits me out in the dark forest on the Hogwarts grounds.

I start walking, hoping I'm heading to the Hogwarts castle. I guess I'm heading the right way because I can start to see bits of light coming from the castle I walk up the stairs and towards the great hall. I take a deep breath before pushing the big doors to the great hall open.

Harry P.O.V.

It's the last day of the school year now. Every other day Nico has come with news on Percy. Once a week he shows us Percy through the black mist. Everyone is sitting at breakfast. We got our update from Nico yesterday, so today we're just going about our day.

Then the Great Hall door creak open. Everyone's head snaps up at the sound, and sees a mangled body in the door way. He looks up and everyone sees the sea green eyes. Percy is back.

----------------------------------

After this chapter, I'm probably going to do one more chapter before I start a sequel.

Anyways, question of the chapter/day:

How long does the button on the doors of death need to be held down for someone to make it out of Tartarus?

You can't google the answer, I want this to be fair. Comment your answer. The first correct answer gets a shout out in the next chapter.

Peace out!
