When Jason saw HIM again, his frustration boiled inside him.
How dare he make fun of me
"Guys wai-"
Jason didn't hear Annabeth, he brought his sword to the neck of Enard. But his sword stopped right in front of his neck with a clang as he stabbed. Jason opened his eyes in shock, but the sudden stop made him topple forward. Jason caught himself, around the man's neck, blue cool frost swirled on his skin.
"How is that possible..?"
The man didn't even flinch, his smile was gone, and he turned to look Jason right in the eye. The frost crept away. Jason trembled, this guy wasn't near Jason's level. Instead, he turned,
"Not a warm greeting man."
He had revealing jet-black hair with stripes of pure white. He had an obviously fake smile and intimidating sharp glowing green eyes. He looked pale with a hint of dark skin and a scar on his left chin.
"Who are you?" Jason growled.
He just fake smiled again.
"Call me Enard."
"Jason, He's here to help. But we can't trust him yet." Annabeth explained.
Jason backed off not because he was letting him off, but because he was afraid. Jason's knees trembled as he hoped nobody would notice.
"Fine"
"So this is how I'm going to give you information. You can ask three questions, but things are restricted or it might twist fate. Let's sit." Enard said with a serious tone and with a face of no emotion.
Hazel couldn't believe this guy was smiling just a while ago.
"Are you sure guys?" Piper asked.
"Hey, I won't hurt you," Enard said in a still tone.
Jason noticed Nico narrowing his eyes on Enard.
Nico inspected Enard,
Is that..?
Enard glared at Nico and for a second, his left eye glowed white dangerously, and the thought disappeared.
Nico started to panic, This guy would be bad news if he was on the other side.
"You okay, Nico?" Hazel asked worried.
"Uh-yeah."
Nico glared at Enard, but Enard wasn't looking in his direction. The sun started to shine, but the air between Enard and Nico remained tense.
"So who goes first?"
We all formed a circle sitting down with everyone distancing themselves from Enard.
"What or Who is our enemy?" Jason asked.
"Be careful with your questions!" Frank protested.
"As said in the prophecy, two twins are children of the Titans. But in another line, they say that they are rivals. One might be on our side and one on the other, but it's not clear. It says "rivals or together", one of them must choose to pick a side."
"How do you know so much?" Jason asked.
"Only three questions and one from each person," Enard said with a smirk.
Jason looked annoyed, literal sparks flew from his hands.
"Calm down, Jason! He giving free information." Piper said as he held Jasonʻs arm.
"And how can we trust him?" Jason yelled at Piper, his eyes full of fury.
Piper looked shocked and let go of his arm. Jasonʻs eyes sparked with rage.
"Jason, what's gotten into you?!" Hazel yelled.
She ran to Piper, holding her arm.
"I just..don't want you guys to get hurt."
Jason said finally calming down, his eyes returned to the fierce blue eyes that sparkled.
"Don't worry, Jason. Lemme ask him." Piper said.
She turned to Enard who raised his eyebrow.
"Are you lying?" Piper asked.
She put all her power and feelings into it, and even Annabeth almost felt like she had to obey her and speak.
"It's up to you if you want to trust me or not, but for now. I think this is the most help you can get"
Everyone stared in shock at how Enard easily blocked her charmspeak.
"Now, next question?" He sounded like it was an everyday occurance.
Jason tightened his grip on the coin hidden in his pocket. Jason noticed bandages wrapped around his right wrist, he was hiding someone, maybe if he could take it off. It could reveal something about him.
"Where do we go next?" Leo asked, hoping things didn't get ugly. Leo knew that we knew nothing about him, and Leo didn't think we could defeat him in the state we were in now.
"You can travel up more to Alaska to find more clues, you may find your enemy who lies there."
Leo didn't sense any lies in his voice, but he was hiding something...
"So one more question," Leo concluded.
"Is Percy alive?" Annabeth asked with a determined look on her face.
Everyone stared intently at Enard anticipating an answer. Enard closed his eyes for a moment, then he opened them slowly and looked at Annabeth straight in the eye with those poisoned green eyes.
"Yes, Percy Jackson is alive."
