Percy's POV

"We have reached Malta. Finally." April proclaimed before collapsing on the deck. "We survived."

"Yes,we did." Thalia said. "You don't have to be dramatic about it."

(the words you're about to read are not written by the author herself...)

"But if I'm not dramatic, there would be no meaning in life-

"Nope, I don't want to hear it."

"This is torture." grimacing, Nico appeared out of nowhere with packets of Skittles. Looking at the packets that were forcefully stuffed into his hands, he said "Will forced me to go back to the camp to give me this."

(back to the author)

"How the heck did he even force you?" Clint said.

"Iris Message." Nico replied.

"Never mind that,go back to Camp and give them back to Will." April said hurriedly.

"Why?"

"Percy has a problem with Skittles."

"He does?" Nico asked.

"If he eats a lot of sugary stuff he'll get a sugar high. At least,that's when happened when he did it once."

"Excuse me,'he' is right here." I interrupted.

"Maybe we could use that to our advantage." Clarisse suggested.

"How?" Thalia asked.

"We give them to him when we're going to fight,and then everything will disappear." Clarisse said.

"And when he gets the sugar crash?"

"Yeah,what will happen then,Clarisse?" I asked.

"We let you die." Clarisse shrugged.

"That's the Clarisse I know." I said.

"You're all forgetting one major problem." Clint interrupted.

"What?"

"How are we going to get to the island that no one can find,as you said?"

"Leo was blasted there by Khione,"I said helpfully.

"So we need a god to do it?" Tony appeared,looking confused.

"Exactly." Nico said.

"So who will it be?" Thalia asked.

"That is a good question." April admitted.

"Anybody got any gods at hand?" I asked,doubtful.

"I could try and ask my father." She said with uncertainty. "I mean,he only talks to me when all his other children are asleep,or he needs me to do something,or he wants to wake me up."

"We should've went to Olympus." Nico muttered.

"But if we did,the Avengers aren't allowed up there." Thalia said.

"Try anyway,April."

She looked up to the sky. Minutes later,multiple emotions crossed her face,but they were too fast for me to see.

"He says he'll help." She said. "You might want to hang on tight."

All of us on the deck paled and quickly held onto something.

"You should also shut your eyes if you're on deck." We all did.

"Here we go." I felt an exploding sensation against my skin,and then smelled sea water again.

"You can open your eyes now."

We're in Ogygia. I remember this place so well. The sandy white beach,the calm sea waves.

"This is Ogygia?" Natasha asked.

"It is." April nodded. "Beautiful,isn't it?"

"Yes." Steve answered. "It's to enchant men,right? Make them feel as if they never want to leave. Until they remember their loved ones."

"You could stay here for what you thought were days, when it could be years." I said.

There was an awkward silence around the ship.

"Well,what are we waiting for?" Tony said cheerfully. "Let's kick some titan ass."

Nico's POV

"Why the heck is there a lot of trees?" Tony grumbled as we walked through the trees. "Couldn't we at least fly?"

"One,if you fly,they might see us,and two,not all of us can fly." I replied.

"Well,it isn't my fault!"

"We didn't say it was." Steve said.

"Well you implied it."

"Stop it." Thalia hissed. "We're close."

"We are?" Clint asked.

"Yes." Percy said.

Thalia hushed him too.

"Don't 'shh' me."

"You're being loud."

"Well you're being loud,too."

"How is asking people to be quiet,loud?"

"Because the way you're saying it,is." Tony contributed.

"Oh stop it. You two are being childish."

"Are not."

"Are too."

"Are not."

"Are too."

"Are not."

"Are too,-"

"Is that it?" Bruce interrupted the argument.

All of us looked to the direction that Bruce was pointing at.

It was a gigantic cave that could probably fit all of us. The ceiling was covered with... crystals?

"It was smaller." Percy muttered.

"Definitely. And where's her stuff?" April asked.

"Don't look at me."

"What should we do now?" Natasha asked.

"We go inside the cave. And wait." Clarisse said.

"That's actually the only plan we have,so let's just go with it."

There were murmurs of agreement all around.

"Let's do this." I said,and we walked towards the cave.


One or two or three chapters more,guys. Get ready for the ending. :)
