A Friendship as Strong as Steel

Let's summon a goddess by saying random things

POV Lucia:

Okay, I had a lot on my hands, first, the Siren choked on her blood, that was all Val's luck, second, we still had to go get the key and the drakon.

Val had fainted on her way up and when Olivia saw me dragging Val, she screamed and ran for Val.

"Hey, I need help as well," Olivia didn't hear me and carried Val back to the tent.

So much for becoming friends, I was ignored, again! I walked back to the tent, and Sam was waiting for me.

"Sam, I missed you so much!" I beamed as I ran for PooPoo and hugged her tight.

I heard a gasp as Val woke up again dazed. She looked around and seemed confused and her face expressed the words, "Where is the nearest monster I can stab?"

"You're ALIVE," Val said hugging me unexpectedly. I froze as Sam was in the middle of our hug.

"What happened to hating my guts?" I said hugging Val back.

Val pushed me back and gave me a hard look. As she did that a bird swooped into our tent and crashed into me, then it flew away.

Val smirked and walked away, leaving me to talk to Sam.

"How are we going to bring a full drakon to the surface?" Olivia asked, staring at the giant green drakon that was now fully awake and looking in our direction menacingly.

"We call on the grain goddess, OH GODDESS OF GRAIN HERE IS YOUR DRAKON FOR YOUR CHARIOT," nothing happened.

"Well that didn't work well," Olivia smirked

"Oh please, not you too," I said, "I just need to scream a random letter okay, HBADBIIUSBIABCXAXZLJXOWNOUEV."

As I finished saying that I could see somebody appearing from the cave entrance.

"No way that worked..." Olivia whispered, but it had worked, the Earth goddess, Demeter had arrived.

POV Valsilia

My ADHD could not handle it. It had been an hour since they had left and I had started to pace. I started to analyze the prophecy.

"Find the apposer and go down below"

That must mean his titan apposer, that must mean Alcyoneus.

"To get him out, find his rival as he is stuck in green. Hide yourself and your arrival."

That probably means he is stuck in a cage made out of... trees? Also, that meant that we had to be sneaky.

This prophecy had made a lot more sense than I thought...

Just then, I heard a drakon roar and I rushed outside. I saw the face of Demeter waving to Olivia and Lucy. They were back, but where was the key? Then, I spotted a pouch on Lucy's waist and I assumed that was where the key was.

That meant now was the time to go into the crystal caves.

"Wow, this place is DEEP," Lucy said as we heard the dripping water in the cave. It was a cramped space with one way leading down to an even deeper place.

"Well, I guess there's only one way to go!" Olivia said, trying to sound cheerful. We slowly descended, Me and Olivia at the front and Lucy at the rear.

"You know...This is getting a little creepy..." Lucy muttered after a minute. Nobody replied, and she started muttering something under her breath and I realized she was singing. "When you're beaten and you bloody and you're face down in the mud~ When Harpies try to eat you, you're on fire, there's a flood~"

"You can bet that you're on the shores of Camp Half-Blood! You can bet that you're on the shores of Camp Half-Blood!" Olivia joined in. I glared daggers at them both, but couldn't help but sing with them.

" Camp Half-Blood~ Where only half of us survive~ Camp Half-Blood~ Be glad you're still alive!" We were so engrossed in singing that we hadn't noticed that the surroundings had changed around us. We were now in a breathtakingly ginormous cavern. Every inch from floor to ceiling was covered in crystal jewels of various shapes and colors, and shiny pillars connected the floor to the ceiling, which was so high up I could barely see it.

"The Crystal Cave..." I muttered.

"Yes, welcome to the Crystal Caves, my name is Alcyoneus, and you have come at the perfect time."

We all whirled around to where the voice had come from.

There, an even more gigantic man with long red hair and a beard pointed a giant black staff thing at us. He wore full battle armor, and his skin sparkled with dozens of little jewels dotted his arm and leg.

"Uhhhh. Hi?" Lucy said, which did NOT help. Alcyoneus smiled a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"And I believe you have come to free the god of the underworld."

"Yes, and it would be way less complicated if you just hand him over, Alcyoneus," I replied with as much courage as I could muster.

"Ahh, but that would not be as fun, would it?" he said, giving us an amused laugh. "You guys are an interesting group I'll admit. All daughters of minor gods. All ignored and forgotte-" Before he could finish his sentence, I let out a big battle cry and charged, my dagger appearing in my hand. But then, everything went wrong. I suddenly felt like something had entered my body, and I realized I couldn't control it. The last thing I remember thinking was, 'Eidolons'.
