Surprise! After...wait lemme go check-
Okay so after- ALMOST 5 MONTHS???? I'm updating-
(WOW IT'S BEEN WAY TOO LONG)
So ye- here ya go-
Annabeth
I looked around our little camp one more time.
The quest was back together, no one was missing.
But that's not what it felt like to me. I just...got the feeling that I was missing something. I needed to talk to some old friends.
And the rest of the quest would just slow me down. At least, that's what I told myself.
But I couldn't take the arguing. I guess I was running away. That's all I've ever been good at. Running. Running from all my problems.
When I was seven, I ran away from my home. When I was twelve, I lost one of the people I loved most in the world to Kronos. I ran from my thoughts. When I was sixteen, I lost him again. I ran. I ran from all my thoughts and feelings. That's all I was ever good at. Running.
I started to make my way down the mountain. My mind flashed back to the note I'd left. The last part of it.
"...don't worry about me. I'll be back soon. I'll get help."
Everything was in place now. No turning back.
Sand.
Sky water earth and sand.
The desert.
Carter and Sadie Kane. Somehow, I knew I had to find them.
I didn't know how I knew, or why I needed them, I just knew I did. It was a gut feeling.
Don't fail me this time, I told my thoughts.
I had to be right about this.
I needed to be right about this....
I had a reason to leave. Right? That's why I left. To help the quest.
Right?
Yes. I told myself.
You know it's not. My brain replied.
Shut up.
Turn back.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
NO!
YE-
"SHUT UP!!" I yelled.
Great. I was going insane.
If I wasn't already insane.
I was going on a solo quest. My last solo quest had ended with me and Percy falling into Tartarus.
I shook off my thoughts.
Running.
Running.
Running...
COWARD!
I'm a coward.
I could never face my problems. All I did was run. I was a coward.
I tried to think of something else.
The last time I'd seen Sadie we'd been trying to save the world from being destroyed by Set, the Egyptian god of evil. It would be nice to see her again. Even though the whole Egyptian mythology existing thing was still way too weird for me.
Then again, my cousin Magnus was descended from the Norse god of seasons.
The world was crazy.
I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't realize I'd reached civilization.
This was it. I'd board a bus, and there was no turning back.
SHORT. I know. Sorryyyy. I've just been so busy lately...and everything's just been so tiring I've had no motivation to read or write.
Getting better now. Expect more chapters. Ily guyss <33
