The Heroes Of Olympus

Chapter 8

'Iapetus?' Chiron asked. 'But he was killed in the first war with the Titans.'

'No, he wasn't.' Annabeth said.

'Look, in the first war, we did try to kill him but instead we gave him a bad case of amnesia. He couldn't remember a thing. So I decided that he was harmless and named him Bob. He became a faithful friend. Now, when Annabeth and I were in Tartarus, Bob came in to help us reach the doors of death. In the journey he started getting his memory back and started to remember who he actually was. We also met Dameson who accompanied us and helped us.'

'And finally upon meeting his brother, he completely remembered who he was.' Annabeth continued. 'We reached the doors of death and Tartarus rose. Bob was given a choice whether to join us or the Titans.'

'He joined us.' Percy said.

'He and Dameson told us to get to the lift and that they would press the button and face Tartarus. We didn't agree at first, but eventually we had to go. We did make it out of Tartarus but never knew that Dameson and Bob lived or not.' Annabeth completed.

'So you mean to say that Bob helped Leo to survive?' Nico spoke for the first time.

'Yes, at least that's what we guess.'

Reyna frowned. 'This doesn't seem right. I mean how could it be?'

'Well then, Percy. I guess there is only one way to know.'

Percy and Annabeth locked eyes and had a silent agreement.

'BOB, I, PERCY AND ANNABETH NEED YOU.' Percy shouted to the sky.

'Yeah sure, like that is going to help.' Clarisse smirked and rolled her eyes.

Suddenly, the ground rumbled.
