The Assassin of Chaos

Part 1 of Quest-The Flower Ch. 23

2/4/14

(Percy POV)

We thanked Silena and Beckerdorf and headed to see the lord of the dead's wife, again. Heading towards Persephone's garden, we thought about the ingredients. Luke recited, "An invisible servent, a flower from Persephone, a drop of our blood, and a jewel from a daughter of Pluto. Who is the daughter of Pluto anyways??" We all shook our head, while Nico looked down on the ground and said,"I know." I defined, "An invisible servant, we can get it from Calypso, flower from Persephone we know that, a drop of our blood, ew, but yah, and a gem/jewel. We'll find her with Nico helping us right?" He nodded.

(Luke POV)

Persephone's flower, hmmmm......why would Lord Chaos need these ingredients anyway?? Well, whatever. We finally arrived at Persephone's garden, how to summon her?? I don't know. Nico, began chanting in ancient Greek saying, "My lady, lady of flowers, we need your help, give us the flower we need for the quest." In front of us, the light shimmered. Persephone said, " Here take it and leave, son of Hades!" The lady of the dead, disappeared with a spring breeze. Well, that was easy I thought. But we were trapped in the garden, darn it! On my left, where Nico should have been, there was a wheat plant there. "Nico!!!" I heard Annabeth scream. "I told the boy to eat more cereal!" said a voice in the air, no doubt, it is Demeter, goddess of agriculture. "That is his eternal punishment." the goddess said. I saw the wind rustle in front of me, instinctively, I put Backbiter on the goddess' throat, saying in a deadly voice, "Heal Nico! Or else don't feel angry of what I'm gonna do." She gulped, then bam! Nico was covered in corn but was alive, not a corn plant. The goddess vanished. I heard Annabeth sigh saying, "One done, three to go, where are we going next??" Nico gulped and replied, "Seeing my dead sister, Hazel, daughter of my father's roman personality, PLUTO."
