I feel myself passing through a wall, which is the strangest sensation ever. Instead of finding myself in the engine room of the Argo II, when the hand releases me I turn around and see a dark room with a spinning wheel in the middle and thread everywhere. A short old woman pulls her hand back and introduces herself.

"Hello, I am Clothos."

Another woman, with Snow White hair that's measuring the thread says, "I am Lachesis."

The tallest woman who doesn't even bother to look up, who is cutting thread says, "And I am Atropos."

"We are the Fates." They say at the same time.

Why am I with the Fates? Does this mean I'm dead?

"Sorry to pull you out of your roaming deary, but you were about to hear something you weren't supposed to hear. Your probably wondering why your here. Not every demigod gets to meet the Fates.Every spirit goes to the underworld-"

"So I really am dead?" I ask, cringing because I interrupted her.

"She's a bit slow isn't she?" Says Atropos, "Most of the demigods know that there dead."

"It's acceptable this time, it's not like there's a knife sticking out of her to make it obvious that she's dead." Says Lachesis.

How can she tell that I don't have a sword or something sticking out of me? All the Fates are missing their eyes! I know it wasn't in Percy Jackson but I'm pretty sure they have to share one eye.

"ANYWAYS, you are special." Says Clothos. "You are an angel."

"But I thought that Angels were-"

"Nevermind what you thought. This is what you get. Angels are people who aren't supposed to be dead. Gods' favorites if you will. Now each angel has to do something to prove themselves. Your task is to find our missing eye. As you can see, we don't have it in our possession. Our job needs us to see. We don't know who took it. The last time we saw it, was a week ago. We can't make any prophecies without it."

"We are counting on you. The past two angels couldn't do their tasks, so they are trapped, wandering until they complete them. Even though one was very young..." Lachesis says.

My thoughts are racing. I really am dead. But how?

"We are counting on you. Your task does not have a time limit, but we need our eye as soon as possible. Otherwise, their will be many more accidental angels." Atropos says, finally looking up at me. I mean, as much as you can look at somebody who does have an eye.

"If you do complete your task then you will have a chance to become alive again." Clothos says.

"Now, you are a spirit. No one can see you except the children of Hades."

My heart leaps. Nico will be able to see me. On a side note Hazel can too.

The question is: how did I die?

"Their boat is arriving. She needs to leave now." Atropos says.

"Good Luck Adriana." Clothos says.

Sup guys! Short chapter I know I know. But I'm working on 3 other stories so I've been busy. Did you see it coming? Adriana was the angel in the prophecy! Dun dun dun plot twist! Comment if you guessed that already or if you were fooled and thought that Nico was the Angel cuz his name means Angel in Italian. Thanks for reading! Peace out yours in all demigodishness and all that, see ya byee!
