66 Chapter 66
Great just great, more of Hades's bullshit. Just what Percy needed right now. Percy sighed and quickly exited the attic and meet with Chiron on the ground floor. The centaur stood in the porch of the Big House with arms crossed and a frown on his face.
"Why the long face Chiron?" Percy asked.
"Percy? Oh, nothing. I am just worried. Annabeth informed of a Hellhound attack on you during capture the flag. Why didn't you tell me Percy?"
"Well I was kind of busy with all the people who wanted to talk to me and then getting threatened by the king of the Underworld and all. I think someone must have summoned it inside camp."
Chiron nodded, "yes that seems very likely."
"If I was to guess, I would say the lightning thief did it."
"Why are you so sure?"
"If I died then my protests would die as well. The Gods would be left thinking I was the one who stole the bolt and with that being said they would start their war. It just seems logical."
Chiron nodded, "yes it does. Do tell me what did the Oracle tell you?"
Percy repeated the prophecy and Chiron looked disturbed at this. "Alright Percy it is decided, your quest will be this. Go to the west, if what the Oracle say is true, and it always is, you will find the bolt along the way. You need to reach the underworld and come back here by the 21st."
"Where is the entrance to the underworld?"
Chiron grumbled, "Hollywood."
"...I'm not really all that surprised. Alright then see you later Chiron."
"Wait Percy you need to pick two others to join you on your quest."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes you do," Chiron said with a stern look, "you need someone out there to look out for you Percy."
"Okay…. is Grover better now?"
"Yes he has been spending his time with Juniper lately but if you ask I'm sure he will say yes."
"Alright Grover and…. Luke."
"Luke?"
Percy nodded, "yeah. He's a good sword fighter and a great leader. He is also old enough to know anything we would need to do. Also we are going to the Underworld, would be handy to have theif with us, just in case."
Chiron nodded at Percy's reasoning, "a well taught out reason Percy. Very well I will inform the two now, you on the other take this time to get ready for the quest."
Percy nodded and soon student and teacher split up. Percy quickly walked to Athena cabin where inside was just as busy as always. Percy walked in and nodded to a few of them and went to his desk. He then picked up all the notes he had made about Hades and how to trap a God and began to leave before Annabeth came in his way.
"Percy where are you going?" Annabeth asked with concern.
"I have a quest Annabeth. I'm going west to Hades to save my mom."
"So that's why….," Annabeth said pointing to the notes in his hands.
"Yeah, the more I know about Hades the easier I can beat him."
Annabeth nodded, "smart move Percy. Quick question who's coming with you?"
"Grover and Luke. I need Grovers help in case we run into an animal or something and Luke's help incase we get stuck in a prison in Hades."
Annabeth nodded, "I see…. you going to pack your stuff now?"
"Yeah Annabeth. I'll you later. We all are leaving early tomorrow," Percy and after a quick chat with Malcolm and the other campers Percy left the cabin and walked to his own.
The entire night Percy spent checking and rechecking everything he had. He needed to make sure everything was perfect.
He got loads of food, from the many days he had been sneaking it into his inventory. His weapons were all sharp and ready. His armour would be ready only later so Percy will have to make do without it.
After it was all finally done, Percy sighed and went to bed. The moment he closed his eyes he fell asleep.
Ping!
You have slept in you own bed; HP and MP have been restored 100% each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Percy woke up and saw it was a little passed 6. He quickly showed a few things like clothes and his shield into a bag he got from the camp After all if he didn't have a bag and kept pulling things out of the air things would start to look a little suspicious.
Percy then made sure Riptide was in his pocket, it was, and then he went to the entrance of the camp and walked passed it towards Thalia's tree.
There waiting on him was Luke and Chiron with the former having a bag slung over his back similar to Percy's.
"Hey Percy," Luke called out.
"Hey Luke, were you waiting too long?"
"No just got here," Luke said and just then they saw Grover come out of the camp as well, well running more like it. Then then reached PErcy and stopped panting all the while.
"Out of shape G-man?"
"S-shut up P-Percy. Unlike you demigods we Satyr's don't have enhanced stamina," Grover said with a girn.
"Well now that you're all here we can begin-"
"WAIT!" a voice cut in. The group turned and once again someone from camp was running towards them. This time it was Annabeth and she had a package in her hand. She reached them and smiled, "good you guys haven't left yet."
"Why are you here Annabeth?"
"To give you this of course," Annabeth replied and gave Percy a book with papers sticking out in various places and even a few book marks here and there, "it's a book about the entire of US where you should go and what you should avoid, demigod edition. Athena cabin has been making it for some time and we thought the best test run for you would be this."
Percy then Observed it;
Book of US,
A book which contain vital information about the Us and all the important areas in it for demigods. Listen to this book and treat it like the bible.
Percy smiled and put the book inside his bag, "thanks Annabeth I'm sure we will be able to put this book to good use."
Annabeth smiled and Luke then spoke up, "alright guys we need to move, if we get to New Jersey before noon we can catch the train to L.A. from there. If all goes well. But it won't so let's see."
Percy grinned, "you are such a pessimist Luke."
"What ever sea head, let's just get going."
Percy smiled and the three began their quest to find the lightning bolt. But as they were going Percy couldn't shake this feeling of despair in his heart. It was like something was about to happen. And he and his friends would be in the middle of it.
