'Drip, drip.'
Every time one of the water drops landed on my skin, I forgot what my next thought was.
"Where are we? Some sort of hidden cave? It smells familiar here." Adam asked right before Will tipped over.
"Does any of you feel really weak right now?" He asked as Nick held him steady.
"No, I actually feel great! But a weird great." I told him.
"I feel like I am at home he-." He stopped mid-word before his eyes widen. "We are somewhere in the underworld."
Cupid had a smirk on his face.
"We are in a hidden cave underneath the river Lithe."
"Cool!" Everyone gave me a strange look at my shout.
We started walking down the path deeper into the cave.
"Within the sea of memories, the river Lithe seems like the perfect match. The land of confusion and pain is our next stop. But what could it be?" I wondered out loud.
"It could be about memories because I have seen some people suffer from their memories." Adam said as we walked on.
I felt eyes staring at the back of my head and I quickly look around. I saw multiple red eyes staring at us.
"Guys, get ready to fight!" I said as I pulled out my scythe.
A large group of dracanae(possibly spelled wrong) and hellhounds surrounded us. My wings slipped out and the hellhounds slowly started to back away in fear as I spread them out wide. The dracanae slid close to me and I spun around to slice them. The hellhounds shook their heads before darting towards Nick and Will. I quickly blocked an dagger before it hit me. I tilted the scythe blade downward before quickly spinning. All of the monsters surrounding me disintegrated into dust. Adam cried out in pain as I turned to watch his body getting thrown towards me. A hellhound was running to grab him but I quickly sliced it from the middle.
"Adam!" I yelled out as the fighting ended.
I ran over to him and I watched as he was bleeding profusely. I could see the edges of his soul slowly separating from him. He didn't have long before he would join the underworld permanently. Will came over and started working on the wound. I helped with the stitches as he gave ambrosia and nectar to him. His soul started to connect to his body again and I help him sit up.
"Someone sent them after us. Monsters don't normally come down here." Cupid said as I tucked my wings into the jacket. "We should keep on going forward before any more appear."
Adam slowly stood up as we started walking on. I noticed that the farther we went in the cave, less water dropped on us from the ceiling. We decided to take a short break, so I decided to test for any possible abilities. I had one hand out and was trying to focus on making a spirit appear. But most I got was a little bit of smoke to appear on the ground.
"That is actually really good. It took me almost a whole year before I could summon anything." Nico told me as he walked over to me.
"Really? How old were you when you found out that you were a demigod?"
"Eleven, and it was almost a full year before I found out that I was the son of Hades."
"What did you mean that you were born in the 1940s?"
"After I answer this question, I should ask you one."
I shrugged my shoulders.
"Okay with me."
"I was born in the 40s, but after Zeus tried to kill both me and my sister, Bianca, my father hid us in a place called the Lotus Casino. It kept us frozen in time until a few years ago." He took a deep breath. "Bianca didn't live long after we left but that is the life of a demigod." I could tell that her death still pained him from the look behind his eyes. "What was your life before camp?"
"It was just me and my mother traveling around America as if something was chasing us. I guess something was chasing us because a few weeks ago, she got killed by what looked like robbers. Never found a place to call home."
"Do you think she could see into the mist?"
"I think so, she had a unique ability with magic. She had ways to hide herself in plain sight and see visions."
"Sounds like my half sister's mother. She had powers that Hazel gained as well."
He turned away to walk over to Will and I noticed two shapes heading towards them as they hugged. I quickly ran over to them, I pushed them out of the way right when the two arrows hit my back. I could tell that one was golden and the other was made of iron, right before I blacked out.
