"So, what's the quest about?" Thalia asked as they walked towards the borders of camp Half-blood.
"A quest to save Luke, we'll go to Lost Angeles, the entrance to the Underworld is in there through Procrustes's Waterbed store, we'll use Mrs. O'leary without Nico using his Shadow travel, we'll only use it for emergencies," Percy explained to the group as he whistled to call on Mrs. O'leary.
"Arf arf arf!"
"Good girl, Mrs. O'leary, can you please take us to Procrustes Waterbed store?"
Mrs. O'leary barked and made their way toward Lost Angeles.
"Why do we need to go to the underworld again?" Nico asked as he held on to Percy.
"We need to somehow borrow Charon's boat, so we can cross both Styx and Acheron, you know the underworld better than us, and maybe perhaps talk with Charon about borrowing his boat" Percy answered.
"Uhm, yeah. Good luck with that, we need to find another boat cause Charon doesn't let anyone borrow his boat, he uses it to ferry the dead you know?" Nico answered as he slid down to get off of Mrs. O'Leary once they arrived just outside of Procrustes's store.
"Close till further notice, how are we gonna enter now?" Grover said as he looked at the store, Thalia sighed as he used her arrow to break the glass and open the door,
"Easy peasy, now let's go."
The group looked at Thalia in disbelief and could only sigh.
They then made their way towards the entrance and walked down the stairs, to see the Underworld.
Walking down carefully on the cliff a crowd of dead people greeted them, Percy began to push through to make it to the front.
"Pardon, excuse me, coming through, in a hurry here"
"Still feels wrong"
"They're dead Grover, they won't mind" Nico answered Grover as they continued to make their way towards the font.
"Hey there again, Mr. Ferryman Charon, could we, maybe borrow your boat?"
Percy talked to Charon who only looked at them.
"You're not dead"
"We all die someday, we just came a bit early" Thalia answered, Percy snorted at Thalia.
"We'll pay you, here, we just really need to borrow your boat for a quest," Annabeth said as she took out a bag of Drachmas and gave it to Charon.
Charon reached out for his whistle and began to blow on it.
"He's calling Cerberus" Nico spoke, he placed his hands inside the pockets of his jacket, not bothering a single bit.
Cerberus came running, but when he saw Nico he stopped midway and greeted him with a loud bark.
"Charon must have called Cerberus over to take us somewhere," Nico climbed on top of Cerberus, helping Thalia, Annabeth, and Percy.
"Won't he eat us though?" Grover asked as he took Percy's outstretched hand.
As soon as all of them were on Cerberus's back, he began to make his way.
A minute passed by when Cerberus stopped and kneeled.
"Where here"
"Where are we?" Annabeth asked, looking around.
"Honestly don't know, haven't explored the Underworld much" Nico replied.
The group heard some rustle and took out their weapons, Grover saw a paddle below him and picked it up to act as a weapon.
Grover looked at the paddle more closely, when he noticed a writing.
"Χάρων"
"Hey, guys? This paddle says "Charon" there must be a boat somewhere here" Grover announced as all of them began to look around.
"Here! There's a boat here by the rocks!" Thalia shouted making the rest run over to her.
"Ferry across by Charon's boat, well, there's a boat..." Percy said as they began to check if the boat was still good to use.
Once they were sure the boat was still good to use, they began to push it to the sea, careful not to touch the water.
"Grover and I will paddle first, we'll switch around every minute," Thalia said as they began to row.
