The Fiery Tide

chapter 7

Hestia's pov

I quickly and quietly led Perseus and his friends into the Olympian throne room to the secret chamber where they would find what they were looking for.

Previously

Zeus and Poseidon recently had Athena and I create a chamber for them to keep something in it but I do not know what it is but I suspect that it has something to do with Hades because Zeus didn't want us to tell your uncle.

Percy-can you lead us to it.

Yes I can but be warned when you're inside, there will be traps and tests so be prepared.

Annabeth-thank you Lady Hestia.

Presently

Percy's pov

Lady Hestia led us into the throne room, it was bigger than I had expected. we headed towards the giant hearth in the middle of the room, spoke some words in Greek that I could not understand and a door made of fire appeared, with a last nod and a quick thank you to Hestia I walked through the fire holding onto their hands to make sure they didn't get burnt or wet because as soon as I felt the warmth of the fire leave my body we were in another room with a waterfall rushing at us, I quickly grabbed Annabeth and Grover closer to my body and made an air bubble around us. we walked through the waterfall for about a minute before we came to another room lined with shelves with books in them, I looked back at Annabeth signaling that it was her turn to work since her mom was the goddess of wisdom and knowledge and I don't like books.

Annabeth's pov

We walked into a room full of books and Percy signaled me knowing that this must be my mum's test; there was a podium in the middle of the room with an opened book on it.

I stepped towards the podium and walked towards the book only for a cage made of glass to fall on top of me, I stood up to tell Percy and Grover that I was alright but the only thing I saw was my reflection staring right back at me. I heard a voice beside me and I turned around to see who it was and I was surprised to see the book emitting a holographic image of my mom, Lady Athena.

For you to be free from this box answer this riddle correctly, said the hologram, ''FOR ONE TO FIND WHAT CANNOT BE FOUND, ONE MUST BE WHAT"

I thought about this for a while before replying, ''ONE MUST BE LOST' I replied, suddenly the box I was in disappeared and we were all standing beside a bed with a girl on it.

Percy walked forward and placed his hand on the girl, her eyes snapped open and all hell broke loose.
