of Somnia and Dreams- Heroes of Olympus x OC

Shed some light please

Viennas POV

For a horrible moment, I thought the leopard had spoken. Then dark mist boiled out of Seymour's mouth.

Jason had grabbed the golden coin from his pocket. With a quick flip, it changed into a sword.

The mist took the form of a woman in black robes. Her face was hooded, but her eyes glowed in the darkness. Over her shoulders she wore a goatskin cloak. I wasn't sure how I knew it was goatskin, but I recognized it and knew it was important and related to...war?

Would you attack your patron? the woman chided. Her voice echoed, lower your sword.

"Who are you?" Jason demanded. "How did you—"

Our time is limited, Jason. My prison grows stronger by the hour. It took me a full month to gather enough energy to work even the smallest magic through its bonds. I've managed to bring you and Vienna here, but now I have little time left, and even less power. This may be the last time I can speak to you two.

"You're in prison?" Jason asked.
I decided maybe I wouldn't lower my sword, a ghost kabob could be nice. "Look, I don't know you, and you're not my patron lady." I continued

You're right I'm not your patron but, you know me, she insisted. I have known you since the early days of your being and Jason since his birth.

" look even if you were either of ours patron we wouldn't know, we have no memories" I said.

"She has a point" Laurie said, still on the couch.

That also was necessary. Long ago, she turned to Jason, your father gave me your life as a gift to placate my anger. He named you Jason, after my favorite mortal. You belong to me.

"Whoa," I said. "He doesn't belong to anyone"

"news flash lady, in America there's this thing called liberty" Laurie continued

Now is the time to pay your debt, she said. Find my prison. Free me, or their king will rise from the earth, and I will be destroyed. You will never retrieve your memory.

"Is that a threat? You took my memories?"

You have until sunset on the solstice, Jason. Four short days. Do not fail me.

The dark woman dissolved, and the mist curled into the leopard's mouth.

Time unfroze. Seymour's howl turned into a cough like he'd sucked in a hair ball. The fire crackled to life, the arcade machine beeped, and Chiron said, "—would dare to bring you here?"

"Probably the lady in the mist," Jason offered.

Chiron looked up in surprise. "Weren't you two just sitting ... why do you have swords drawn?"

"I hate to tell you this," I said, "but I think your leopard just ate a goddess."

Jason told Chiron about the frozen-in-time visit, the dark misty figure that disappeared into Seymour's mouth, Laurie sat nodding as if he didn't experience it too. Weird.

"Oh, dear," Chiron murmured. "That does explain a lot." Fill in some gaps for me here please!

"Then why don't you explain a lot to me?" Jason said. "Please."

"My thoughts exactly Jason" I stated crossing my arms.

Before Chiron could say anything, footsteps reverberated on the porch outside. The front door blew open, and Annabeth and another girl, a redhead, burst in, dragging Piper between them. Piper's head lolled like she was unconscious. Ooookay then.

"What happened?" Jason rushed over. "What's wrong with her?"

"Hera's cabin," Annabeth gasped, like they'd run all the way. "Vision. Bad."

"Aren't all visions bad?" I asked rhetorically

The redheaded girl looked up, and it was evident that she'd been crying.

"I think ..." The redheaded girl gulped. "I think I may have killed her."

"No you didn't" me and Laurie said at the same time his tone more annoyed than my more calm one.
