Travel Through Time: A Rick Riordan inspired

Chapter 4 - A New Best friend

"Hard times don't create heroes. It is during the hard times when the 'hero' within us is revealed."

My hero seems to be dead.

Going to Mars? Has any demigod ever gone out-of-planet? I have no clue. We had a pretty quiet dinner. I didn't get to talk with Nico since he disappeared. After dinner I sneaked into cabin 3 and got Backbiter from my secret vault. As I was leaving, Percy caught me and pinned me to the wall with my wrist. "Who's there?".

My sword fell onto the ground due to the force he was applying on my hand. The wound from Guwin started bleeding and I was about to scream in pain when he let go. "Adara?!" I fell down and held onto my hand. He bent down and took my hand and put one of his hands onto his heart. He pulled some blue light from his heart and placed it onto my wrist.

The bleeding stopped and the wound was now covered with a blue watery bandaid. "What is up with you Adara?! I would've killed you!" He shouted. I looked at him "You used the heart of the sea to heal me?" He gave a slight smile "Anything for you" I hugged him and then spoke again "Sorry, I was grabbing something from the Cabin and didn't want to disturb you on it" he noticed the sword beside me.

He picked up the sword and suddenly dropped it, his hand was smoking. "Argh!" He shook his hand, then he used the first aid from behind and applied some ice onto it. "What evil cursed sword are you carrying around?" I picked up the sword with my left hand and showed it to him from afar. His eyes widened "Backbiter? How did you- where did you?"

"Hermes cabin, Unlocked it using this earring..." I told him everything that happened. I trust him more than anyone in this entire universe, he deserves to know. After I told him everything he started"I wish Annabeth was here, she'd know what to make of it..." He faltered and I was on the verge of tears, I didn't tell him that Annabeth was...dead...

A part of me hoped that I was hallucinating...Wait, where are my glasses, I went to my Ex bed and searched there, my Ex cupboard didn't have an extra pair either. That only ment that I'd have to go to the Eye doctor and get a new Earthly pair. I always wished I had Jason's frame. It never broke. I looked back at Percy and his eyes made images again, just like they did about a month ago. I saw a girl and man fighting side by side against someone. Then the image faded.

I blinked hard. Then Percy started, "We could ask Annabeth's Half Brother, Dazai, I've heard loads about him from Annabeth. I hated the idea of telling anyone else about Backbiter but Dazai seemed like the guy who wouldn't snitch. So I agreed to talk with him, I left a letter for him at his window side and waited at the venue. In the letter I had written -

Subject - Meeting at the Lake in Camp

Dear Osamu,

Flaire here is inviting you to discuss about a very important scene that has taken place at the Hermes cabin, Don't be a fool and arrive late at the venue, Come in 10 minutes and don't tell anyone about this meeting.

From Flaire

In 10 minutes, Dazai had arrived at the Lake. I had hoped he wasn't a fool and would go around looking for the venue, he was smart enough to get the clue. "Hello Flaire" he said, extremely formally. "Hey Osamu, Can I trust you with sensitive information and you swear on Styx that you won't tell anyone unless I grant you permission?"

"I swear on Styx that I won't tell anyone anything unless you ask me to" he said, rather annoyed. I told him everything, including the death of Annabeth and the Flame of Hope. I felt like trusting him with everything. I thought that someone who swears on Styx claiming that they won't tell anyone anything is extremely trustable, Though you can break a swear, I don't think anyone would. Atleast I think...
