Keeper Of The Lost DemiGod Camp

Argo III

We stared at Hearth in amazement and he tugged on my wrist tapping his temple. I leaned down pressing two fingers to his temple and I opened my eyes shuffling through his mind, I stared into his icy eyes his pale hair and skin seemed to have more color to it since seeing Elwin.

"Back when I was with Magnus living on the streets, we visited the library quite often. I read a book written by a man named Gwen Joaun, there was this enchanted cave before the 'Bermuda Triangle' even existed." His mind was silent for a secound giving me time to register his words before they continued onward "The cave would sometimes be untaken by ocean's high tide, but something made the water grow higher each year. Soon the cave vanished under the sea the enchantments on it being smothered by the salt, tis' the reason electronics don't work in that particular area. Because of the dim enchantments still on the cave, I think that someone renewed the enchantments and that is what is surring. Tho, it is still just a theroy."

I could feel my jaw hanging open slightly and I transmitted 'Do you still have the book?' He nodded and scrambled over to hid satchel and pulled out a thin blue hardcover book, it seemed to of been a dark blue but now pale and the pages yellow from use and age. Hearthstone handed it to me and I read the spine 'Truth of TBT.' TBT I guess was short for, The Bermuda Triangle.

Handing the book gently to Bronte I quickly explained Hearth's theroy. They all nodded and Keefe said "So that's why Water Boy looks worried." I rolled my eyes but felt a smile tug at ny lips from the middle school nickname for Percy.

"Speaking of Percy." Bronte said closing the book with a soft thump he looked over the demigods and continued "We could tell him about this, could help us find Kemlin. After all, he is the son of Posiden." We nodded looking around the demigods where laughing about something Leo said and we began to walk over to them, the set the book on the table and Bronte said "We might know where our guy is." I never thought one sentence could get nine hyper active demigods to shut up and pay attention in less than five seconds.

They all sat down eyes hardening and attention snapping to us. Awkward, but I was reassured we didn't have to repeat anything.

Quickly we explained what Hearthstone told us and how it might be related to the Prophecy. Percy leaned forward intertwining his fingers together he asked "So, there is this mysterious cave in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle covered with enchantments that we have no idea about about and might be a complete trap and we are heading straight to it?" We all nodded and Percy did the most unexpected thing and he laughed, you heard me laughed.

"Glad to be back in business." He chuckled uncapped his pen and flinging the sword into the air like it was a human graduation cap. So care free and laid back, I thought oddly. I wish I could be like that.

Keefe smirked sliding his ring off his finger it transformed into a sword and he flung it in the air, the demigods whooped and did the same, when Jack flew in the air he yelled "Hello from the air BEACHES." Dex shrugged and tossed his up, Linh and and Bianca threw their daggers in the air. Hell even Bronte tossed his sword in the air and lightning sprayed off it with every twirl. Hearthstone threw a pouch in the air and Blitzen threw what seemed to be a bronze duck in the air.

Fitz and Tam and I just stood there grinning as the metal flashed in the air, miraculously no one got penetrated.

That night we discussed a plan, not a good one. But hey, we are all under the age of twenty. Subtracted the one-thousand years old elf. Bronte look terrified by our plan I might include, maybe he should though, I mean our plan is to throw Jack into the tunnel screaming bad blood by Taylor swift to distract Kemlin and then the rest of us attack.

Alex shook her head and said "That is a stupid plan, we will all die." Magnus sighed "Thanks for the encouragement." Alex glared at him and said "Shut up, sunshine. Or I will decapitate you. Again." Magnus looked terrified, he shut up tho. That is one way to do it I guess. "How about." Bronte began "We put our best fighters at the mouth of the cave to distract him, and we the less trained ones find another entrance behind him and ambush him." They started at him in shock, I gave him a thumbs up and he rolled his eyes and continued "But didn't the new prophecy say he fled the cave? Maybe there are signs in the cave, because I am told prophecies never lie. We just interpret them the wrong way the debunk them more differently than we should." Annabeth starred as she walked up to Bronte staring the ancient councillor in the face as she said "The face of a eighteen year old, but the soul of an eighty year old. You are wise son of Zeus."

Bronte smiled down at Annabeth and said "Tough parents, bad past." She nodded and walked away from him, Alex thought "Samariah, and I could go down to the cave. Since we are shapeshifters and all." Frank frowned as he raised his hand "I can shapeshift." Alex and Samariah said in unison "You can?" The five Einherjar gaped at him Hearthstone frowned and Blitzen just moved around, his face unreadable under all the clothes.

Frank slunk back a little and turned into an eagle flying across the room and landing on Hazel's shoulder. Samariah and Alex shared a look before turning into eagles also and landing on the table in front of Hazel and squawked at him, he jumped down and they engaged into a talk, or would it be squawk? Gods know, this crap gets more confusing by each ticking second.

The self driving bus halted its tires screaming throwing everyone to the ground with such force the floor shuttered. We groaned looking up to see a dark ocean swirling, the dark waves crashing on top the sore, they seemed darker than normal. Almost black. No it was black, not a dark blue, but swirling blackness. Like a starless night sky. Percy and Linh gasped when they saw the churning black sea, and Magnus looked sick to his stomach. Bronte was the first one up on his feet he darted to the window surveying the beach, it was hideous. The beaches white sand had dark sickly green lines running over it, like veins. They pulsed like a dying heart. The cliff surrounding the bay also had the sickly green lines pulsing and thumping like a caged beast.

Percy and Linh were out the door in minutes, Magnus hot on their heels. The three shapeshifters changed back into human form their eyes filled with shock and disgust. Quickly we all filed out of the bus, even Keefe looked shaken and he didn't seem like a nature guy. Percy and Linh made there way to the water and Tam went to shout and run after Linh but I grabbed his wrist and motioned for Dex to follow her, he did holding his sword at his hip so it didn't bounce around as he ran.

 The water seemed to cry of pain and weary weakness, calling lost souls to it like a lost women who had forever been alone. Jack pulsed around Magnus's neck and he yanked at the pendant and he gasped when he saw the destruction around him, if a sword could gasp anyways.

White and yellow of normal sand could not even be spotted anymore. it was now a disgusting red color, like dark infected blood it seemed to be moving like a stop motion movie. Playing tricks on the mind. What the hell happened here? Percy radiated hatred and he spat "Someone disrespects my father's home." Annabeth ran over to him and hugged him from behind whispering in his ear. Leo stepped forward sweat rolling down his face as he said "I have something, I rebuilt the Argo II." Leo pulled something from his pocket and threw it in the air, the item exploded and hovered in the air stretching miles wide and long was a flying ship made of bronze, gold, quartz, and rubies. We all started in amazement as it lowered itself to the water crashing with the black sea, masts shot out of the deck and sails fell down. We all started.

Suddenly the black sea lurched back to the glowing huge boat and began crawling up the sides the green veins began spreading along the boat, but with a flash from the boat the water retreated. Parting like the red sea did for Mozes making a pathway to the boat "This puts your yellow handkerchief to shame, sunshine." Alex breathed, her multicolored eyes gleaming of the glowing lights of the ship.

"Meet the Argo III." Leo smirked.
