(Vision starts)
(The ground starts shaking and a hand appears in a dark light)
(The hand grabs Will and throws him away)
(Will lands on the ground and starts bleeding a lot)
(Will dies)
(Vision ends)
(The next day)
(In Jonah Hart's tent)
(Jonah Hart wakes up)
Jonah Hart:😨😰
(Ariana Finley enters Jonah Hart's tent)
Ariana Finley:You're okay?
(Jonah Hart turns and sees Ariana)
Jonah:It's nothing...just a bad dream...
Ariana:Again?
Jonah: ...
Ariana:You've been having the same dream for the past days.
Jonah:Don't worry about it,Ariana.I'm alright.
Ariana:Are you sure?
Jonah:It's okay...Thanks for checking on me,anyway...
Ariana:You're welcome...
(Jonah and Ariana blush)
Aaron Finley:(voice)Ahem...
(Jonah and Ariana turn)
Aaron:Sorry to interrupt...whatever this is...but we got some problems right now...
(Later)
(Jonah,Ariana and Aaron get out of the tent)
Percy Jackson:What do you mean James got away?!
Mya Rodriguez:Don't look at me!Evan was the one in charge of taking care of him!
Evan Webber:Excuse me! It's not my fault!We had a hard day yesterday! I needed some sleep!
Will Solace:Okay,maybe the fact that James escaped isn't good,but right now we need to focus on going to Minneapolis before Lydia sents her minions after us right now.
Vivian Vance:Right,we still got less than 8 days to free Apollo.
Ariana:Not to mention,save the world as well.
Jonah:In that case,let's start to break camp and go to Minneapolis.
(2 days later)
(In Minneapolis,Minnesota)
(Percy Jackson,Jonah,Ariana,Aaron Finley,Vivian Vance,Evan Webber,Mya Rodriguez and Will Solace walk through the streets)
Aaron:Okay,so,we're finally here.Now what?
Percy:Leto could be anywhere around the city.It's gonna be hard to find her without a clue.
(A burst of wind blows away)
Evan:(upset)Ugh!We get it!Wind!You want us out of the way!But guess what?!No chance!
Mya:Dude!You're making a scene in front of the locals!
(Evan sees that people is staring at him)
Evan:😳😅
(The people stop staring at Evan and continue with their business)
(The wind continues to blow)
(Jonah sees a Gold and Silver aura)
Jonah:Guys!Look!
(Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian Vance,Evan,Will Solace and Mya see the Gold/Silver aura)
Vivian:I don't think that's the current of the wind...
Will:You're right,it must be Leto.She must know we're here and is looking to guide us to her.
Aaron:How do we know it's not a trap?
Evan:Yeah,like last time Cassandra tried to kill us.
Percy:We're running out of time.This may be our only chance to find your dad.
Jonah:Percy's right.Let's do this for Apollo...
Ariana:Okay then...follow the wind once more...
(Jonah,Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will start following the Gold/Silver aura across the streets)
(1 hour later)
(In Quaking Bog)
(Jonah,Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will continue following the Gold/Silver aura)
Mya:Can somebody tell me where did this aura thing is taking us?
Ariana:Quaking Bog,a 5-acre forest that has been voted the best of nature in the city of Minneapolis every year.
(The Gold and Silver aura fades away)
Evan:Wait?What happened to the mist?
(Suddenly,everyone looks down and sees a misty fog appearing on the ground)
(A cottage appears in front of everyone and the misty fog fades away)
Aaron:Seems that we don't need it anymore...
(Everyone goes to the door of the cottage)
Percy:So...do we knock the door or...
(The door of the cottage opens by itself)
(Everyone enters the cottage)
Will:Hello...Leto...
Vivian:Anyone here?...
Evan:(nervous)Granny...
Vivian:???
Evan:What?She's our grandmother after all...
(Jonah looks around the cottage and sees a room door open)
(Jonah takes a look at the room and finds Leto,Titaness of Motherhood in a bed)
Leto,Titaness of Motherhood:(sitting in her bed)I knew you would come,Jonah Hart...
Jonah:Leto...
Jonah:(raising his voice)I've found her!
(Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan and Will go with Jonah)
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Don't be shy...you can come...
(Jonah,Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will enter Leto's room)
Leto:(sitting in her bed)It's been decades since I have seen any of my grandchildren...
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Vivian Vance...Evan Webber...Will Solace...
(Leto coughs)
Evan:Are you okay?
Evan:You don't look so good for a Titaness
Vivian:Evan!Be respectful!
Leto:(sitting in her bed)It's alright,Vivian,darling.I'm afraid your brother is right,my powers are weakened and my essence is soon to be faded completely.
Mya:Wait?So...You're dying?But I through gods couldn't die?
Will:True,gods can't die or be killed,but they can fade from existence.
Percy:It has happened with other gods before,like Pan,Helios and Selene.
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Back in the ancient times, I was worshipped as much as my children, Apollo and Artemis. However, as the years passed,only my children were remembered. I never actually gave much importance, at least my children made it to the history books and that's what i'm proud of...
(Leto coughts again)
Leto:(sitting in her bed)I do not have much time,so I better be brief while i'm still here...
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Jonah,you have foreseeigned that you will lose someone close to you and you've done anything you can to avoid it.Right now,you're carrying a life on your shoulders and not being able to speak about it.I can assure you that your father's warning has a good reason,but to have the answers you seek,you have to learn to let go.That is a lesson that will be important in the future.
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Vivian,you've longed for a family for so long.I promise that you will have the family you always wanted,until then,you will be entrusted a secret that needs to be kept until the moment of truth comes.
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Evan, you have a tough surface on the outside, but you have a great vulnerability on the inside and there's nothing wrong with that. You may think your role is not important, in the end, you will have to hold on until the right moment comes to act.
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Will, happiness is going to come to you, but first you have to endure the pain of what's to come. You'll have to fight once more for your soul to resist and determine whether you get to live or to die.
Will:It's me...I'm the one who's going to die...
Leto:(sitting in her bed)That,my boy,is for the Fates to decide...
(Leto coughts again)
Leto:(sitting in her bed)I'm running out of time,when i'm gone, this place will cease from existence, so you'll have to get out of here as soon as you can. My son's prison is in Arizona. You must hurry, for I have delayed you enough.
Jonah:We'll save Apollo.I promise.
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Before you leave,I must have a word in private...with the Son of Poseidon...
(Jonah,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will get out of the room)
Leto:(sitting in her bed)Perseus Jackson,my son has told me a lot of stories about you.I just wished there was more time.
(Leto coughts again)
Leto:(sitting in her bed)He has been weakened for years,but now he's back.Jonah will have a bigger role in the future.So I will use my last words to ask you to prepare my grandson for his return.
Percy:Who?Who's return?
Leto:(weakened)...My grandfather...
(Leto fades away)
(Suddenly,the cottage starts shaking really quick)
(Percy runs away from the room)
Percy:(to Jonah,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will)Let's go!
(The cottage collapses)
