Percy's eyes scanned the halls; he silently waited for Ruben to show, he closed his eyes as he leaned against the wall.
The sound of emptiness filled the halls, giving it an odd feeling.
Usually, it would be bounding with sounds, but it was silent to today.
The sounds of feet down the hall, caused him to open his eyes.
"I thought this was some prank. by the looks, it's not." Ruben said as he strolled toward Percy calmly.
Percy rolled his eyes as he stared at the boy.
"You think? X has regained her memories, and she wants you to come with me, to a long lost domain, we're memories flow like a river." Percy sucked in air as he pushed himself off the wall.
"Why me? she didn't care about me in the past, why now?" Ruben snarled as he slammed a fist into the wall.
Percy glared at the boy and crossed his arms.
"Because she did care, she just didn't show it. and I think she wants you to know something Important." Percy shrugged, preparing to open a portal.
Ruben scrunched up his nose in disgust as he stepped aside allowing pace for Percy to open the portal.
Percy shot a very bright orb of light, it seems to disappear into nothing for a moment, but a second later, an explosion erupted in the hall, filling it with bright light.
Percy stared amazed at the portal that had opened, it glowed a gentle blue, giving a vibration of joy and hopes.
"I'll go in first," Ruben said gripping the strap of the bag he carried. Percy watched as Ruben stepped through looking conflicted in going in.
Ruben entered feeling as if he went through goo, however as he looked around, his jaw dropped.
The sky was a nighttime sky, beautiful; the stars shone brighter than he could imagine, the trees rose so high you lost sight of the top in the clouds up high. Ruben stayed silent, the sounds of a waterfall filled his ears, an excellent sound.
The portal behind him glowed, as Percy stepped through. He aswell looked around in amazement, but somehow both boys could feel that something was wrong.
Taking small steps both made their way through the trees. Expecting some creature to come out, and attack them. Instead, they were meet with an eery sound of the waterfall.
"Something is wrong," Ruben muttered as he held an arrow ready.
Loud roars filled the silence, as the noise of the waterfall grew louder causing both boys to glance at one another in wonder.
"We can;t you fool!" A female screamed. Loud bangs scared both as they reached the waterfall.
Before they were black water, dark as Nyx's castle in Tartarus. Percy looked at the river, and its water was dark, but dark with blood.
"Fools." The sound seemed to come out of the water. Percy took in a deep breath as he glanced over the edge, to take a better glance into the water, Images of memories filled the water.
Horrible images which would be best to ignore.
"Oh, no," Ruben muttered as he crunched down onto his knee, he glanced into the bloody water.
"What do we need to look for?" Ruben prepared to touch the water but a loud yell stopped him, Percy glanced back to see a girl standing there, an arrow aimed at Rubens' head.
