"Look! There's Annabeth! Wait, where are they going?" I frowned. This was not part of the plan.
Helina sighed. Then we heard a loud eruption. We all turned our heads and saw tendrils rising out of the ice, near a land of grass and a lumber mill, growing crazily until they were 50 feet tall. Inside was a woman in a beaten silver gown. Artemis.
"Hurry, let's go!" Alec ordered.
We all slid down the little cliff, and then ran to the ice, joining Annabeth, Cylena, and the found Glinda.
"Mom!" Cylena cried.
Chieko put her hand over her "O" shaped mouth. "Artemis!"
Artemis moaned. "I'm sorry. I cannot fix this. What a mistake." She feebly rested her hand over her chest, the way vampires do before they go in the coffin. "No one can help me at this stage."
"Quick! Call someone!" Alec said. "We have to inform my dad!"
I took my pendant, and called Celestia.
Sara
"Celeste, your thing is glowing." I pointed to Celestia's pendant. I began to call her 'Celeste', since I was too lazy to say her full name.
"Oh," Celestia said. She opened up the holographic picture. There was Lucas, flapping his arms as if he could fly. "Lucas, what's wrong?"
"GET APOLLO! ARTEMIS IS FADING!" Lucas screamed.
"Apollo!" We both cried.
Apollo ran into the scene. "What?"
"YOUR. SISTER. IS. FADING!!" I screamed.
"NO!" Apollo said. "If Artemis fades, they'll be only 11 olympians! No~!"
"Well get your butt up and drive us there!" I said.
Celestia looked down. "You mean you. I'm not allowed outside camp borders."
"Oh," I said. Then I stared hard at Apollo. "Hurry up! Get your fastest vehicle!" I turned to the picture. "We're coming, don't worry!"
"Wait!" Celestia said. She gave me a sage. "Feed this to an enemy. This will make them go suicidal. I sense there's something in the wind... a battle will strike as soon as Artemis fades!"
I nodded, then loaded myself into the passenger's seat. Apollo began to drive away.
"Farewell!" I heard Celestia call out. Then I looked at the sage. I can do this.
Annabeth
I grinned as I saw Apollo and Sara come. They jumped off.
"Brother," Artemis said. "Help me."
Apollo quickly managed to burn the tendrils. It was no use. They quickly reformed. Artemis was stuck there.
"Look! Her feet are fading!" Helina pointed. I turned. It was. It quickly rose to her waist, then her shoulders, then she was gone, leaving a puddle of ichor.
"SISTER!" Apollo cried. The tendrils went away, and he knelt over the puddle of ichor. "WHY?!?!"
We all looked down. Cylena was sobbing. "Mother, where are you? Are you stuck up in Hades' domain? May you rest in Elysium."
"Dad," I said. "Please put Artemis in the paradise of the dead."
Suddenly, we heard a loud thump. Then a low yell. Then, a terrifying laugh. We all turned our heads, and there stood Kronos. Behind him, an army of titans, Cerberus, and Charon. We began to cling to the ice.
"Gaea's playing with us," I heard Apollo exclaim.
"Our Mistress is playing with you," Kronos laughed maniacally. His eyes were creepy golden. He held a long scythe. "Yes, the Mistress is Gaea. And we are all at power." He put his hand up, and all the enemies began to charge at us, fast.
"Guys, stay close!" Apollo ordered. "Little ones in the middle!"
We all did as he did. Panda, Gravy, Helina, and Glinda went into the middle. We all did a quick power warm up; I made a shadow fist, Lucas crackled lightning, Cylena called the animals, Apollo and Alec made a short heat wave, Chieko took out the best weapon. I blinked, seeing how fast the enemies were.
"Good luck." Kronos said, before we were engaged in battle.
"Fate is your destiny." Me, Kallik
