Hi. This is the author. And I decided to write a new story! Please take your time to read carefully and stuff. Wish me luck!

Prologue- ANNABETH

I told seaweed-brain not to accept the quest. Of course he ignored me.

"Percy," I say, my voice persistent. I remember that day clearly. It was my last time with him before he went off.

"It's going to be fine, Annabeth," he told me. I could tell he was unsure. But his sea green eyes were so trustworthy that I was memorized. I sighed and said, "But it's to the underworld. We been there when we were twelve and barely made it out."

"But we did," and he stood up. "And I'm going to use those chances. It's going to be okay, Annabeth. Trust me," he said and began to walk out the door.

"Wait!" I called out and he stopped. "Shh," he whispered. "You'll wake the kids. It'll be alright."

I run up and hug him. "Please be careful. Promise to return. Swear on the River Styx," I say without thinking. I shouldn't have said that. What if he wasn't going to return? Of course I hadn't thought of that back then since I was too worried that he won't return…alive.

"I swear on the River Styx," he promised. "I'll be back."And he went outside.

It was raining. There was that dark kid, Nico and Mrs. O'Leary. Percy gave Nico a high-five and pat the hellhound's black fur. He turned around, smiled, and mouthed the words, I love you.

I nodded and closed the door. I prayed to all of the Big Three and my mom for his safe return. Please. Please.

And then I went back upstairs to check on the kids. When they wake up, I'll tell them that their dad went on a business trip. And it wasn't exactly a lie.

So how was the prologue? Please continue to read. I kinda doubt this story will get good reviews and enjoyed but oh well. Thanks for reading!
