 A/N: Sup guys this is where Shadow is gonna be traveling through Tartarus and he takes the same route as Percy and Annabeth who are soon joined by Bob.


(Shadow's P.O.V)
  I was near the pit and jumped in with Thorne next to me. I put my arms to my sides and went down faster.
   When I landed I fell into the Cocytus and man did I hate it. I heard the voices when I hit the water itself. I blocked the voices out and swam towards land.
  I reached land and began to walk to the river of fire. Evert once and awhile I would see figures off to the side. I reached the edge and sighed. ''Now or never.''
  I walked back a little and ran for it jumping into the Phlegethon. I landed and splashed into the river causing a splash to go up. I shot out the river and landed on the bank next to it. I turned around and didn't see Thorne behind me or in front of me. I got up and walked down river not wanting to run into any monsters.
  Before I made it halfway to the next cliff a few monsters blocked me off from going any further. I pulled out my sword and slashed the monsters down in one go. I continued walking through Tartarus making way to the doors of death.
  I reached the second cliff and just climbed down instead of jumping cause there was no area to land. I kept climbing down when I got punched falling to the ground. I heard a voice, Puny demigod you dare come into my land without backup. What foolishness you have.

''Tartarus show yourself.''

Ah, but I am everywhere around you. A fist came out of the ground punching me into the air.
  I landed on the ground with a thud, and got up. I turned around and began walking down river like before. Before I reached another step I got pushed in the back sending me forward to the Arai. I said, ''Gods damn it I hate this place.''
  I stopped and got surrounded by ten Arai. I made the mask appear and pulled out my crescent blade. I slashed the Arai one after another not giving a shit about the curses they would give. After the first few their numbers grew even larger. I ran through the forest and stopped when I reached a cliff. I had enough of these things to where I had to use a little bit of my energy to cut down the rest.
  When the rest were gone I ran to the right and made way to a drakon bone hut. I remembered who lived here and killed the Maeonian Drakon for days on end. I walked into the bone hut and laid down going to sleep for awhile cause I was wiped out.
   When my dream began I was in the infirmary next to Artemis. Who was talking to Chiron, Rachel, and Apollo. I heard, ''Apollo let me go and help Shadow.''

''If your going I want to help and be there if anyone gets injured.''

''It's settled then the both of you are going.'' Said Chiron. ''Apollo Shadow will need you to heal him if he gets injured, and Artemis he will need you there to help with the monsters.''

''Rachel what did the Prophecy say?''

''It said,
When the arrow of the moon hits the doors of death,
the ancient lord of time will rise from the ruins of the Lotus,
and the son of death will face all the odds,
shall he win the heart of the moon or lose all he's gained.''

''The moon Artemis the lines with moon in them means you, and the ancient lord of time has to be Kronos right?''

''Let us hope not Apollo. We don't need the titan that tried to destroy Olympus back trying to it again.'' My dream changed, and I stood on Olympus with Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, and my father who was fighting his own brothers. He said, ''Please listen to me the both of you Tartarus is controlling the both of you, and you as well Ares.''
 My dream faded and I woke up in the hut. I got up and walked out going to the right and going to see the misery goddess Akhlys. Man I hated her. The one time I met her was when I was going through here the first time and I still couldn't the look of her out my head. I was stopped when I ran into more monsters. I sighed and pulled out my bow. I pulled the string back and fired several arrows of energy at them making them disintegrate into dust.
  I continued walking for miles until I heard crying ahead.
