The Fiery Tide

chapter 9

Unknown person pov
Where am I…where is this place…how did I get here,

I was jerked out of my thoughts by the sound of someone screaming, Instinctively, I headed in the direction of the voice.

I felt like I had been running forever until I came to a stop, directly in front of me was a young guy, he was kneeling and clutching his head and screaming, I carefully walked towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder, he stopped screaming, turned around and fainted onto the floor.

Grover’s pov
I was heading towards the infirmary to check on Percy and the girl, as I entered the infirmary, I made my way towards Percy’s bed and I was shocked by what I saw, apparently Percy’s hand had slipped from the bed and come in contact with the girl’s hand and blue and black energy were swirling around their bodies, I quickly took out my phone and recorded what I was seeing.

I went to look for Chiron. I found Chiron and Annabeth and told them what was going on and together we headed towards the infirmary, suddenly we all felt sick and many people around us grew pale, Chiron looked towards the hilltop where dark energy was gathering.

campers, Chiron shouted, grab your weapons.

Annabeth’s pov
Everyone had gathered their weapons and headed for the hill, we stopped at the bottom of the hill when the darkness expanded upwards and two big red eyes shone from it, release her, it said, release her. Suddenly a light could be seen falling from the skies, getting brighter by the second, it finally landed in front of the darkness and stopped glowing, in front of us stood lady Hestia, we all knelt and bowed towards her, if she was here we needn’t fight whatever that thing is, she turned towards it and was talking to it, we couldn’t hear what she was saying but the figure of darkness receded and shaped into a man with a gothic look.

Hestia’s pov
I was seated beside the hearth in the throne room on Olympus, Zeus had called for a meeting to discuss what had happened, when I felt a burst of dark energy at camp half blood, I quickly placed a barrier over Olympus so that they wouldn’t feel the sudden burst of energy, I turned and walked into the hearth and fell towards the camp, when I landed, I saw the dark energy and I knew it was Hades.

Brother, please stop, calm yourself, she’s safe, calm down, please. His darkness receded and revealed his figure; the darkness wrapped itself around him and formed his clothes. Where is she, he asked.
Percy pov

I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was a girl lying on the ground next to me, acting on reflex, I instantly rolled away and stood up, apparently the girl heard me moving and woke up, she turned around and we looked at ourselves for a while before I finally spoke up, who are you, she looked at me for a second and said, I don’t know, who are you.

I’m Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, what’s your name?

I don’t know.

Where are you from?

I don’t know.

Where are we?

I’m not sure, I met you here and you passed out on me.

Oh, well sorry about that.

We sat there in silence when we suddenly saw a small blue flame appeared illuminating the entire space we were in, I looked up at it and it seemed to call to me, I stood up and walked towards it, I raised my hand and cupped it, it grew brighter as if it were feeding on my powers, what is that, Percy the girl asked let me see it, I don’t know what it is, I replied. I walked to her and when her palm came in contact with mine the flame flared and part of it became black then it expanded and everywhere was engulfed with light, we had to close our eyes so as not to be blinded by it, then the light went down and we woke up.
