"Oh my gods. No. Not again. Not again!" Annabeth cried out.
She was shaking and tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks.
"Wh-what happened to him?" Leo asked impatiently.
"I- I don't know!" Annabeth yelled desperately.
"Oh no... No, no-no" Nico whispered
Panic streaking his face
"What-what is it?" Jason asked, afraid of what the answer would be. "Is he.." he trailed off, leaving his question inconclusive
"No! No...Gods no" Nico said, trying to convince everyone he was not dead "O just... what if Kronos did something to him before fading. He laughed like a maniac... what if.."
"Ugh! He has to be so damn heroic all the time and he always gets himself almost killed! Last time he DIED!" Piper angrily scolded
"What do we do?" nico asked nervously
"Annabeth?" frank questioned
But she was too shocked to even blink
"I-i can't lose him. Not again. I...I don't know what to do"
They had run out of ambrosia, the argo was too far and they had no more supplies
"I-i have an idea. I can shadow travel him to the ship, but you'll have to go by yourselves" Nico suggested
"Fine. Go" piper answered because everyone else was shocked

Nico proceeded to shadow travel Percy to the argo, and, because of the fuzz, Percy woke up
"N-nico?" he asked
"Percy! You woke up! Just get back and let me help you, okay?"
"What happened?" Percy asked, but before he got an answer Nico added a sedative to an IV drip he had put on Percy. The son of Poseidon laid back and fell asleep as Nico tried to contact the others.

The Argo II's door shut open.
"Where's Percy? Is he okay?" Annabeth asked
But before Nico could answer, a bloodcurdling scream pierced through the air
They ran to Percy's room to find him with marks all over his body, they were black and red, forming swirls around his body. He was gagging and choking up on blood.
"Percy! Oh my gods! What happened to you?"
Percy couldn't even answer and no matter what they did Percy wouldn't stop choking.
Without hesitation, he shadow traveled to Camp, kidnapped Will Solace, and traveled back to the Argo
Before Will could properly scold him, Nico passed out
"Does anyone know why Nico kidn-" he said and then realized that Percy was hurt, though he thought it was Jackson
"What happened to Jackson"
"Oh..umm he is Percy... He was offered an opportunity to come back but he had to learn his past alone and now he knows he Percy" frank said shyly
"Oh... That's.. New, but seriously, what happened to him?"
"We don't know!" Annabeth sobbed loudly, as Piper tried to calm her down with her soothing words
Will started inspectioning Percy, and as he did that Nico woke up
"Oh great, I did bring us here" Nico said
"I would be very mad if it wasn't because of Percy's injuries" will said
"Oh, so you know" Nico said
"No, actually I need to know what happened"
"Okay..." Nico told him the whole story and finished it with "and then he screamed, we ran here and he was choking"
Percy wasn't choking when Will popped in, but as soon as Nico finished his story, the marks started burning him and he started coughing up blood.
Okay, I need you to clear the room. I have to concentrate.
Everyone walked out, they could still hear all the painful sounds Percy was making. Suddenly everything stopped.
If a nail had fallen they would've heard it, it was dead silent
Will walked out of the room, with a very serious face something very un-will-like
They all waited for him to make his statement
"Percy was poisoned, it is a rare type of poison, it was conjured up through one of Gaia's vines.
I... I tried my best, but, he slipped into a coma"
They all gasped. The sentence that Will said next, was the sentence that would haunt their dreams.

"I don't know if he'll be able to wake up"
