We were heading towards Pylos and the destinations Nike told us for collecting in Physician's cure. I was just sleeping until I had a dream. Not like events of my previous life, more like a live demigod dream. The dream went on like this....
   'Climb, ya silly non-goats!' Hedge yelled.

Oh no that means I was seeing the journey of Athena Parthenos the most important object to lessen the breaches between both faction. And the team were probably trying to flee from attackers, sure the lands are infested with the giants and what not. Oh I wonder that infamous hunter was on their tail and it made sense as we had not encountered my half brother I mean I had enough experience with Chryasor, Polyphemus, Crusty aka Procrustus, the Aloadae and specially I had a nausea even if learning the history of Orion , I wonder if I had a bad blood about the guy which I doubted a little. He was not too generous to be named in stars and the sending scorpion theory seemed more of a lie and made up to me. Why I don't know but I would find out soon.

'Go,' Nico told her. 'Once you're up there, hang on tight to the rope.'
'Nico –'
'Do it!'
Her javelin shrank back into a sword. Reyna sheathed it and began to climb, scaling the column
despite her armour and her supplies.
Down in the plaza, Aurum and Argentum were nowhere to be seen. Either they'd retreated or
they'd been destroyed.
Lycaon broke free of his bone cage with a triumphant howl. 'You will suffer, son of Hades!'
What else is new? Nico thought.
He palmed the pocketknife. 'Come get me, you mutt! Or do you have to stay like a good dog until
your master shows up?'
Lycaon sprang through the air, his claws extended, his fangs bared. Nico wrapped his free hand
around the rope and concentrated, a bead of sweat trickling down his neck.
As the wolf king fell on him, Nico thrust the silver knife into Lycaon's chest. All around the temple,
wolves howled as one.
The wolf king sank his claws into Nico's arms. His fangs stopped less than an inch from Nico's
face. Nico ignored his own pain and jabbed the pocketknife to the hilt between Lycaon's ribs.
'Be useful, dog,' he snarled. 'Back to the shadows.'
Lycaon's eyes rolled up in his head. He dissolved into a pool of inky darkness.
Then several things happened at once. The outraged pack of wolves surged forward. From a nearby
rooftop, a booming voice yelled, 'STOP THEM!'
Nico heard the unmistakable sound of a large bow being drawn taut.
Then he melted into the pool of Lycaon's shadow, taking his friends and the Athena Parthenos with
him – slipping into cold ether with no idea where he would emerge.
     

I woke up with a cold sweat oh I am sure as Hades that Orion and I had a bad history. About like everything about my existence the rivalry between us must have been erased as there was no account even not in sea-children list. Must have been some darkest secrets I mean not even a hint was left. Okay deal with it Percy I told myself. I decided not to tell anyone. They needed to be focused not to mention the team would be divided.

A/N:- A short chapter I know sorry. My mobile app is deleted. I would download it soon. It occupied 1 GB can you give any idea to keep the app in minimum memory? Please read vote and comment.
