The Lost Souls

Everyone Hates Percy But the Horse

A council of cabin leaders.

Technically, Bianca shouldn't be involved, but seeing as she and Nico claimed the spare shed as their cabin, she was sort of a cabin leader.

So, Mr. D and Chiron sat at one end of the table. Zoe took the opposite end. Thalia, Percy, Bianca, Silena and Charles sat along the right. The Stoll brothers took the other side.

According to Nico a fight broke out among the campers and so many had ended up with broken limbs.

"This is pointless," Zoe exclaims. "Our goddess needs us. The Hunters will leave immediately."

"And go where," Chiron asks.

"It doesn't matter where," Bianca points out. "The prophecy calls for Hunters and Campers to work together."

"The Hunters do not need thy help," Zoe states.

"Unless you want to fight a prophecy," Thalia starts. "I think you do."

Zoe looked as though she didn't want to admit Thalia was right.

"You should take at least two campers," Bianca says. "Thalia and I volunteer."

"I agree," Charles states. "Thalia and Bianca work well together. As long as Percy isn't there." He looks at Zoe. "There is a reason we had him go right."

"I will want to take Phoebe as she is our best tracker," Zoe adds.

"The big girl who likes to hit people on the head?" Travis asked cautiously.

Zoe nodded.

"The one who put arrows in my helmet?" Connor added.

"We noticed she was admiring this shirt," Travis said.

He hands it to Zoe.

"If you could give it to her, that would be great," Connor finishes.

"That's only four," Percy adds. "You need one more."

"I'll go," Grover exclaims. "Anything to help Artemis."

Zoe wrinkles her nose. "I think not, satyr. You are not even a half-blood."

"But he could be useful," Thalia says. "You can play a tracking song, right?"

"Absolutely."

"And if worst comes to worst, we send him of as a sacrifice," Bianca smiles, everyone except Thalia, Silena, Charles and Zoe looked at her shocked. "Joking." Everyone sighed in relief. "Maybe."

"But we definitely can't have Percy if Bianca and Thalia will be there," Charles comments. "Children of the big three have powerful auras alone, but to have three of them in one place. Especially when all of them are fourteen."

Bianca sits in a dark room with two thrones.

One dark and covered in shadows.

Hades's throne.

Her father's throne.

The other covered in flowers.

Persephone's throne.

Bianca looks around and spots a man with dark brown hair and black eyes, just like Bianca, except he was wearing a black pinstripe suit.

"Father," Bianca guesses.

"Bianca," Hades greets. "How is it that you remember?"

"I'm not sure," Bianca lies.

"You have a masterful control over your powers," Hades states. "Almost as though you trained."

"I did," Bianca replies. "In the Casino, but the curse didn't affect me for some reason."

"I willed it not to," Hades informs. "Once you started to use your other abilities it freed itself."

"You'll take care of Nico, right?" Bianca asks.

"As much as I can," Hades states. "I will see you on the solstice."

Bianca wakes up with a start.

Thalia stands above her.

"We have to go," Thalia whispers.

Bianca grabs her bag and kisses Nico's head.
