[That night Percy had a horrible dream. He was running along the beach in a storm. This time, there was a city behind me. Not New York. The sprawl was different: buildings spread farther apart, palm trees and low hills in the distance]

[About a hundred yards down the surf, two men fighting. They looked like Tv wrestlers, muscular, with beards and long hair. Both wore flowing Greek tunics, one trimmed in blue the other in green. They grappled with each other, wrestled, kicked and head-butted, and every time they connected, lightening flashed, the sky grew darker, and the wind rose]

Hestia, Hera and Demeter sighed, Zeus and Poseidon were exhausting to deal with

[He had to stop them. He didn't know why. But the harder he ran, the more the wind blew me back, until he was running in place, his heels digging uselessly in the sand. Over the roar of the storm, I could hear the blue-robed one yelling at the green robed one. 'Give it back! Give it back' Like two children fighting over a toy]

The Gods all burst into sniggers at how childish it sounded as Zeus blushed in embarrassment.

[The Waves got bigger, Crashing into the beach, praying him with salt]

Poseidon smiled sheepishly.

Percy: Stop it! Stop Fighting

[The ground shook. Laughter came from somewhere the earth, and a voice so deep and evil it turned his blood to ice]

Voice: Come down, little heroes. Come down!

Percy and Amara shuddered at the voice.

[He looked round in panic before he heard a voice sounding like his sisters]

Amara's voice: Percy wake up! You have to wake up!

Curious looks were throw into her direction on how she could speak to him in his dream, while Percy couldn't care how she done it, he was extremely grateful she did.

[The sand split beneath him, opening up a crevice straight down the centre of the earth. His feet, slipped, and darkness swallowed him]

[The camera splits into two. One the right it shows Percy waking up, sitting up quickly looking around dazed breathing heavily. One the left side shows Amara leaning against a wall somewhere, her eyes glowing emerald, but go back to normal when Percy woke up, a worried look on her face]

Most are in awe at her eyes with how bright they shown, it wasn't like before where there was a flash, her eyes were covered in a green glow.

Some Gods shared wary looks, those eyes screamed power, they already knew she was a powerful demi-god but seeing this has shown them a new perspective.

"What was that?" Theo asked, worried for his friend he considers a sister.

"Must of been serious if you went into his head" Yelena blurts out forgetting about the others listening.

"Wait in my head" Percy asks confused as most gape at Amara.

Yelena winces and mutters a sorry to Amara knowing that it was an ability she has kept hidden.

"Yeah I was in your head P, but you had to wake up" She explains hoping he wasn't mad, he shrugs her off with a careless wave when he sees her apologetic look, his thankful he did, just curious how.

"Look I know there are a lot of questions, I'm sure they will be shown at some point so please leave it for now" She basically begs the all, everyone agrees although many are not happy about it.

[It was still dark outside, he looked around the room to see Amara was not in her bed. Thunder rolled across the hills. A storm was brewing. Percy had gained a confused face as he heard a clopping sound at the door, a hoof knocking on the threshold]
