Secrets of the Past

Prologue

Annabeth sat on her bed in the Athena cabin, devastated. It had been six days and Percy had still not come out of his cabin. She was supposed to be the only one who can get to him best, but he won't listen to her at all. She had Iris-Messaged Percy's mom, but all she got for advice was to 'wait it out', and that he would come out in his own time. Ugh. Nico had tried to shadow travel in, and Poseidon teleporting, but they both hit a brick wall. Nothing was working.

Suddenly, she had an idea. She took out her iPhone—not that iPhone—Iris- Message phone(created by Leo) and spoke into the mic. "Piper McLean, Camp Jupiter. An image of Piper appeared. She noticed her iPhone ringing(everyone got one) and picked up my call. "Hey Annabeth!" She said, breaking out into a smile.

"Hey Pipes." she replied. "Percy has still not come out of his cabin. Since you have that 'Pleione's sea powers' bracelet, I was hoping you could come and try to vapour travel inside and see what's going on with him. There's a kind of 'all forms of teleporting' barrier around his cabin. But since Pleione is an ancient sea goddess, I was hoping you could try once. I know you have a lot going on and a huge overload of work, being the new praetor and all, but please, Piper, just try once. If it doesn't work, I won't bother you about it again. I just need to know what's happened to my Seaweed Brain. I don't like him keeping secrets from me like this." At this, her face darkened.

Please, oh, please, say yes. She thought.

Her expression softened. "Okay, fine. But just so you know, I have a shitload of work to do, and if this works, you better help me with it." She nodded. "Thanks a lot, Piper!" and ended the call.

She came the next day and came to Percy's cabin and started chanting, "Ω, η αρχαία θεά Pleione, με βοηθήστε να ξεπεράσω αυτό το φράγμα χρησιμοποιώντας τη δύναμη της αρχαίας." She then disappeared into vapour.
