Percy's P.O.V

I hate demigod dreams.

With a passion.

I usually have PTSD dreams like from the quest or Tartarus, but today was different.

It started off with me running to the senate house in New Rome. No particular reason, it just seemed urgent. Once through the doorway,  I expected to see Reyna doing her work, but was surprised by the new face.

Skinny build, cold eyes, dark brown almost black hair, chiseled face. Where have I seen him before?

He was at Frank's desk, sketching or drawing something on a long piece of paper. He continued to mutter and curse to himself when his head shot upward eruptively.

" Son of Neptune..... Son of Jupiter...... Children of Pluto. If only you knew what awaits. But this time, you're not escaping. Watch your back Perseus, The fates aren't done with you yet." He chuckled to himself as he walked around the room. His comment made me jump that he was talking to me, and knew I was here.

What is going on?

Who is this guy?

My vision swirled as the dream shifted. I was now in the perspective of someone else, someone... unique.

This demigod had a strange taste in gray black and white clothing, reminding me of Thalia. I could feel a different form of energy coursing through me, not my usual Poseidon aura.

I was watching the world through their eyes if you may will.

Without my will, the demigod walked through the city grounds, couples in cafés, children playing in the streets, Hannibal the elephant storming about.

The strange individual walked into one of the cafés and to the kitchen area. There, another demigod was working on fresh pastries, covered in frosting and dough. 

From first glance, it seemed that the other demigod was only 14 or so. But taking in her thin build and rough hands, she was probably about 15 or 16.

"it's bad, really bad. You were right." The demigod I was viewing from spoke suddenly, now aware of the fear and uneasiness in them.

The girl in front of me quickly changed from cheerful and focus, to agitated. She let out a sigh " please tell me you're joking again."

I shook my head, what are they talking about?

The female demigod in front of my groan " oh dear. No, no you've got to be kidding me!"

" and he's planning to open the site again for them as well" I spoke, I couldn't pinpoint if the voice I spoke was male or female.

The demigod covered her face with her and and grunted in frustration.

" Ronan you imbecile..." she muttered, squinting her eyes. The demigod I was watching through put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, don't think like that. We always have a plan, don't we?" The two also seemed to remind me of Annabeth and I. We're these two together?

The girl nodded as the person I was point of viewing continued "Ronan is setting up a council meeting tomorrow for the public to see. We don't know what else he is planning, so whatever he announces, we go with it and try to set it right."

The girl in front nodded, a small smile twisting upward. " Thanks Ko-"

The dream cut off as I woke with a start, as if I was electrocuted. My body shook, my breathing heavy.

The emptiness of Cabin 3 didn't help either. I was the only child of the Eldest gods without a sibling. ( well, not counting the half god ones like Triton or Kim or Phinease who either really hated me or have tried to kill me)
