𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 largest concert crow you've ever seen, a football field packed with a million fans.
Now imagine a field a million times that big, packed with people, and imagine the electricity has gone out, and there is no noise, no light, no beach ball bouncing over the crowd. Something tragic has happened backstage. Whispering masses of people are just milling around in the shadows, waiting for a concert that will never start.
If you can picture that, you have a pretty good idea of what the Fields of Asphodel look like. The black grass had been trampled by eons of dead feet. A warm, moist wind blew like the breath of a swamp. Black trees— Grover said they were poplars— grew in clumps here and there.
The cavern ceiling was so high above them it might've been a bank of storm clouds, except for the stalactites, which glowed faint gray and looked wickedly pointy. Cam looked around and noticed some of them had fallen from the ceiling, impaled in the black grass.
Percy, Cam, Annabeth, and Grover all tried to blend into the crowd, keeping an eye out for security ghouls.
"So, what made you think of that song?" Percy asked Cam when they were far enough behind Annabeth and Grover to where they couldn't hear.
"It was one of my dad's favorites. He liked Kate Bush," Cam said.
"Right." He looked over at Cam, noticing how sad she looked. He thought it was the Fields at first, but then he realized she'd been like this since they were in the lobby of the DOA. "Are you okay?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah," Cam lied.
"No you're not."
"Fine, I'm not."
"Why?" Cam looked around at the souls of the dead.
"You're scared to see your dad down here?" He asked. Cam didn't really think of that. She couldn't even see the faces of the souls well enough. And it had been five years since he passed.
"Not really."
"Then what is it?" Cam looked at him for a second, thinking that what she might say would sound a bit pathetic.
"We missed June sixteenth. It passed while we were in the Casino," Cam told him. Percy hadn't even thought about that.
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"Percy, we're in the middle of a quest that could cause World War III. I wasn't going to bring it up and make everyone feel bad when we had something more important to focus on," Cam stated.
