Elves and Demigods

Chapter 34 - Biana

Biana's shoes made noisy sounds as she ran through the corridors, up to the chamber with leaping crystals. There was something she needed to tell someone immediately. Once in the room, she practically yelled, "Solreef!" 

When the light swept her away from Everglen and to Solreef, Biana found herself in Tiergan's office. 

"Miss Vacker?" Tiergan asked, looking up from some paperwork he was staring at. 

"Tiergan, I need to see Tam".

"At ten in the night?" 

"Right now". 

"Uh- well, you will find him in his room, just go down the corridor and open the third door". 

Biana skidded out Tiergan's office, and went down the corridor like he said, before slamming open the wooden door to the third room. "Tam!" 

A boy with dark, silver-tipped hair was lying on a king-sized bed. Upon Biana's noise he sat up with a jolt and frantically looked around. "Who's there?" 

"Umm sorry, it's me- Biana", Biana's face reddened a little when she realized what her hastiness made her do. "I know it's late but I need to tell you something and it's very important". 

Tam scratched his head. "Two minutes?"

"Sure", Biana laughed awkwardly and went out the room, closing the door behind her. "Phew", she said for an unknown reason. She felt embarrassed for leaping all the way here in the middle of the night, but the message she received not too long ago was flabbergasting and she was told to share it with the rest of Team Percy as soon as she could. Which was now. 

But Biana did regret panicking. Because she went to Solreef in her pyjamas. Sure, it was a very fashionable set of pyjamas [see the picture above] but still embarrassing. 

She shuffled around for a while, looked around Tiergan's house as she waited. The corridors and walls were made of marble and glass, and the architecture was incredible- typical for an Elvin dwelling.

In a moment's time, Tam, from inside his room, invited her in. 

Biana told herself to keep calm (she was nervous for more than one reason) as she pushed open the door and walked into the room behind it, which now shone from the light of a chandelier made of tiny crystals from the ceiling. 

Tam was seated on the corner of his bed and Biana sunk into an armchair, a few meters from the bed. 

She noticed that Tam was squinting through the light and his expression looked weird. His shirt was messy and buttoned the wrong way. "Still sleepy?" Biana asked, feeling guilty for ruining his slumber. 

Tam looked down on his clothes and his face turned slightly pink. "I guess. Lady Zillah made me practise till late into the evening".

Biana felt even more guilty. "I'm really sorry". 

He shrugged. "I already caught a few hours of sleep", after a pause he asked, "What were you here for again?" 

"Oh!" Biana almost jumped, realizing the reason she has barged into Solreef in the first place. "One of the Demigods from Team Sophie- Nico- Hailed me a while ago, how he got an Imparter, I don't know. Anyways, he had some news. Bad news". 

"I'm listening". 

Biana told him everything Nico had informed her about- Annabeth sharing that Fitz, Will, Piper, Jason, and even a Greek god Apollo had gone missing. Sophie and Keefe had this human-like disease called "Amnesia", along with Octavian, the evil stuffed animal murderer that Percy and Leo had told her about. And then- Nico's plan. It was quite simple really- he wanted everyone who wasn't busy dying- to help look for the lost Demigods, god, and Elf.

Once she was done talking, Tam asked the most important and relevant question he could think of. "Keefe lost his memories?" He smiled- actually smiled, which was something he almost never did. "Really?" 

Biana tried her best not to focus on how Tam looked when he smiled and said, "Yeah, now the two of you can start over and be best friends!"

"Huh", Tam said, dejected. "You know what I mean. Now he won't remember to call me Tammy or Bangs Boy". 

"You never know, he could. Even better, he could come up with nicer names to call you". 

"Oh yeah? Like what?" 

"Happy Shadow Thoughts?", Biana grinned. "The Dark Alicorn Protector?" 

"I don't protect Alicorns, that's his job", he protested, but the corner of his mouth curled up just a little. 

Realizing they had wandered off topic, Biana returned to being serious. "Forget that, from tomorrow, we have to start looking for those who are lost. Anywhere we can. We can also ask the gnomes, ogres, dwarves and goblins for helps, those who are on our side, that is".

"Can we-"

"No, we can't go to see Keefe and tell him false embarrassing stories about his past". 

"Are you a Telepath?"

"No", she stood up, ready to leave. Before she used her home crystal she smiled and said, "I'm Biana".
