"So, how long is this quest?"

"Uh...don't remember. About a week or two. Though we kind of lost track of time somewhere in between the quest."

"How?"

"I'll get to that."

"Fine."

"Okay...where was I?"

Out of all the places we could have been, somehow a dark forest is more safer.

It was quiet, though it was a good type of quiet. No monsters or poisonous snakes. All that needs to be done is for us to complete this quest so I don't have to worry about all of that.

Percy and Logan were talking to each other while Grover was trying to play something on his reed pipes. I didn't know whether it was a nature song or Mozart. Either way it was bad.

Annabeth and I were the only quiet ones, which neither of us minded since we prefered the quiet to either sleep or work.

Somehow I zoned out again and started seeing other blue (took me a while to realize they were dead) people. They passed by us, going through the trees and just talking to other dead people.

This time some of them were eyeing me and most were waving at me. I waved back and they would go back to talking with their friends like they just met Jesus. Weird.

What really caught my attention was the three women I noticed. Onc of the women had dark, almost black, hair with brown eyes and fair skin. Another woman had dark skin and curly brown hair. The woman had a younger girl beside her who looked no more than thirteen. The last woman, however, was the one who caught my eye the most. She had dark brown hair, pale skin, and light brown eyes. She was singing to the other women, playing a Lyre. I could hear her voice so clearly and it sounded so serene and calming. The younger girl leaned towards her mother, putting her head on her chest, smiling.

I smiled as well. She had such a soothing voice that it rivaled that of a siren's. Once she finished the women started to compliment her, giving her praise on her voice and also teasing her for it, which made the woman laugh.

The younger girl must've noticed me watching cause she looked my way and smiled at me. I waved at her, smiling as well. Two of the women were talking to each other while the third one was just playing with her lyre. She was looking at the young girl when she finally noticed me. At first she looked like she was trying to figure out who I was, but when she did her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hand. She stood up and she tried to walk towards me, but someone grabbed my shirt and pulled me away.

"What the-" I looked behind me to see Annabeth dragging me to the boys. "What are you doing?"

"I need someone to help me with these boys," she said. "They are insufferable."

I looked ahead of me to see the woman looking at me from afar. When I was too far she vanished, which I was disappointed about.

Once Annabeth and I were with the boys, she let go of me, finally.

"What is going on?" I asked. "It's been three minutes and you're already trying to tear each other apart?"

"Uh, it's actually been about an hour-"

"No one asked, Goat Boy," I interrupted.

"You zoned out again," Logan told me. "What was it this time."
