I want to thank stiricide, marioisawiz, percabethisawesome, percyrules123, and gokuwiz455 for reviewing this story. If possible, plz read their stories as well.

Percys POV, Maybe three in the morning?

I sat by the creek. I had to save artemis! I had the pearls, and nobody could stop me from teleporting from sea to sea. I could practically do it right now! But something held me back. I had to make a tough decision. I couldn't just ignore what the creepy skeleton dude said! I mean, he did say my friends were in danger, but Artemis said that not to trust strangers. Now, I had to trust both Artemis and C.S.G (AN Its an acronym, it stands for Creepy/crazy skeleton guy/god.) and on top of all that, I have to kill the beast and run. Dang! Olympians never agree. Artemis says this, some other god says that. This is just so friggin' annoying! Annabeth might help with things. I shook my head vigorously. Like all demigods, I had this feeling that I was being watched. Sometimes it makes it really cool, like when the class bully tries to sneak up and wedgie you, but it usually makes us demigods paranoid. I stood, watching the reflection of the moon from the lake. I heard the snapping of twigs behind me. I noticed quite some stuff (thanks Annabeth!) and quickly deduced that:

Someone is watching me at three in the morning

They're trying, but epically failing, to sneak up on me

This person is clad in all black clothing

This person is trying really hard not to laugh

In other words, it was nico. He snickered once, then walked forwards a few more feet which resulted in a whole lot of snapping and crackling. I smiled and turned around. Nico blushed a deep shade of red and suddenly thought the ground was really pretty. He finally got to speak up.

"So…. Do you agree to go on this quest? I mean, its always up to you" he asked. Heck, he must of taken the wrong pills tonight!

"wait a sec, you're asking me, if I wanna go? Of course I wanna go! Why would I not go! " I responded, trying not to laugh. I wasn't going to let Nico off that easily for trying to sneak up on me.

"well… I guess now that you say it that way, you do make me sound stupid, but I was just wondering, would you mind if-" and the rest of the sentence was cut off by a sudden, yet impossibly cold bucket of water. Then I did the most heroic thing ever. I ran like I was getting chased by Hades himself (no offense Nico).

"Ok, you ready to go? Remember, IM me if you run out of cash or something. Did you remember your weapons? I hope not. Im rambling aren't I? Good luck!" Chiron waved us out and I felt the entire camp stare at us five. Somehow the word got out and everyone, even the ares cabin, was staring at us. I had this feeling that the Ares cabin wanted to see me maimed and dying. We'll see about that, suckers! I turned around and found Nico, Thalia, Annabeth, And grover. They seemed kind of worried. To make things worse I felt worried myself. What was I supposed to feel? Hey guys, you're going to go hunt down the most dangerous beast ever and even ARTEMIS, the goddess of HUNTING, couldn't take down. He's in the underworld where the monsters are rebelling and they regenerate instead of 100 years, around 100 seconds. You can't even watch while fighting him, or we die, and I need to search every corner of the world for Artemis. Fun, right? Well, nope. We spent half of the day just walking to the entrance of the underworld. Hey! Why couldn't you just shadow travel us there or use Pegasus to fly there? (to which he responded, "I forgot…") Nope, we just HAD to have walked here. Sometimes I wonder if his brain is dead. We spent the other half of the day when we finally got to the throne room.

And in its place was a messy pile of robes, golden Ichor, and a note.

To all who shall read,

I have taken Artemis and Hades hostages. Come into my lair, and I shall give you both, but if you attempt ANY sort of rescue, They will both be killed. Brutally.

From, The deathly one
