The Quest for the Deathly Hallows

I fall down a hole...again.

Percy Jackson was having a rotten day.

Oh and I'm Percy Jackson by the way.

It started out fine enough with a regular day at camp. We had just finished breakfast and were heading for our usual activities at camp. It actually would have been a great day, the sun was shining it was a cloudless sky and the birds were singing and everything. You know like in that song "I'm on the top of the world...something...something" wow, mom's rubbing off on me.

If only the ground hadn't cracked open under my feet and I had found myself falling through the earth.

Well it had.

I fell to the ground with a thud.

Ow I thought.

Then my girlfriend, Annabeth Chase, fell smack on top of me.

"Ow" I groaned aloud this time.

"Sorry Percy" said Annabeth sheepishly.

I had just gotten up and moved out of the way when someone else came falling through the sky.

He fell face first onto the ground. There was a nasty 'crack' and I winced.

Shaking his blonde hair all over the place the boy stood up, only to be knocked down by another person falling from the sky.

Jeeze I thought is everyone gonna fall through that hole?

The boy and the girl stood up. That's when I realised it was my buddy Jason and his girlfriend Piper who fell through the hole. And Jason's glasses are what had made the cracking sound.

Annabeth looked up at the sky. "Okay...we're in the underworld" she announced.

"There goes my morning" Piper muttered.

"How'd that even happen?" Jason asked, squinting his eyes through his cracked glasses.

"No idea bro" I said shrugging.

"I think I can take a wild guess" said Piper, dryly. She had her arms crossed and was staring ahead with a look of annoyance on her face.

"Hello demigods" said a slightly familiar voice of a woman.

I turned.

Her hair was black and it came down her shoulders in thick waves. Her eyes were warm and brown and her dress shimmered with colour. All kinds of flowers were blooming on the fabric and the patterns changed constantly. I was immediately taken back to the time I almost drowned in the river styx. I shuddered.

"Persephone" said Annabeth "why did you bring us here? Your highness" she added as an afterthought. She was the queen of the underworld.

"I didn't. That was Hades" she said with the same expression of indifference on her face.

"Oh" said Annabeth awkwardly.

"He needs you for a quest" she explained. Ah I thought that's why Piper's mad.

"What kind of quest my lady?" asked Piper, as best as she could without sounding rude.

She gave us a pained smile (huh guess she does feel sorry for us) "I better let Hades explain"

And suddenly we were in Hades castle. Hades himself was seated in his throne gazing down at us with cold eyes.

"It had to be you lot" he said sighing.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked slightly offended.

"Oh never mind, I suppose you are part of the heroes of Olympus and what not. You will have to do."
