Act 2 Chapter 2

Talking your parents into letting you have your own phone is hard, but convincing your parents to let you go on an epic death quest is more or less impossible.

Percy put up a tough fight when Bianca asked him to let her go on the quest. Her mom was proud of her and was already packing her bag with all the necessary supplies.

"Nope! No way are you going on that quest. You are still a little kid."

"Dad, didn't you go on your first quest when you were only twelve?"

"I didn't have a choice! The world was going to fall apart if I didn't agree!"

"Dad, the quest is simple. Just go to Mt. St Helen's, kill the telkhines which came back, and steal all the weapons they kept there. See? Easy!"

"You do know that telkhines are the reason I almost died?"

"A lot of things are a reason that you almost died Seaweed Brain", Annabeth said, giving him a peck on his cheek.

"Stupid telkhines. Just can't stay dead", Percy muttered to himself.

"Fine! You can go. But you better come back within four days.", Percy said.

Bianca grinned.

"Don't worry! I'll be back before you know it. Alive, and with both my hands and legs intact"

"And you better not blow up the mountain!"

"No promises!" she called, before walking out the door.

The next morning, Argus dropped off the three children at the base of St. Helen's, before driving off.

"Well, he was eager", Silenna muttered, before shouldering her backpack.

"Are we sure the telkhines are up there?" Charles asked, squinting up at the mountain.

"Yup! Now let's go and kick some telkhine butt!"

Three hours later

Charles had never really wanted to go on this quest, but if Silenna was going, so was he. He really, really liked her, but he was really, really shy, and he was really, really scared that she'd go out with someone else if he didn't ask her out anytime soon.

He was also really worried about Bianca. She wasn't acting like her usual self. She wasn't alert at all, and almost fell off the mountain. Twice.

They were all currently waiting inside a cosy cave. They had not found any telkhines yet, and it had begun to rain, so they voted to stay at the cave for some time. Bianca had strolled out earlier, after the rain had stopped, saying something about firewood.

''Hey", Silenna said, breaking the comfortable silence, "I have a question"

"Yeah?"

"Um...Why do you think Chiron chose me for this quest?"
