12 The Travel

(AN- I like Lunar Tide, Eye of the sea, Constellation I'll roll a dice for them later...)

Shawn went to sleep soon after Poseidon left and he began dreaming, In the dream, the world shifted and he was on a broken bridge overlooking a dark chasm with no visible bottom but it radiated death, darkness, and despair, but with something important on the other side he knew he had to make it across the broken bridge, Turning around he saw behind him was an army of some sort and in front of him was something he needed but he couldn't see it or tell what it was he just knew he needed it, as if it were life or death.

He had found a route to make it to the other side when everything started shaking and he woke up with a jolt, "Whoa! you okay?" Percy asked

"Huh?" Shawn said disoriented

"Hey, you alright?" Percy asked worriedly

"Yeah... bad dream..." Shawn said thinking back on his dream,

"Alright, It's time for breakfast, get ready you leave at two right?" Percy asked

Sighing Shawn replied "Yeah, And it seems we're headed to the Sahara Desert, unfortunately... It seems we're gonna be out of our element of a while..." Shawn said not looking forward to the travel,

"Is that were the underworld is?" Percy asked

"Oh yeah, you went to bed while we started our planning, No the underworld is in California at the moment, we're going to the desert for a whole nother reason... but that's for later let's go eat!" Shawn explained,

"Sure! wash up I'll meet you there," Percy nodded before running off,

25 minutes later I walked from the shower and went to Chiron who was having breakfast at the mess hall,

"Chiron... I know where we're going" Shawn explained softly to prevent prying ears

Chiron looked up interested, Matching his tone he asked, "Then where should I make the trip to?"

"the Sahara" Shawn said grimly

Well, I see... I will make arrangements I have friends who might be able to help you while your there, When do you plan on leaving?" He asked

"At two... If not a little later, it is important we find what we are looking for before the Eclipse" Shawn said,

"The Eclipse... I see then you have two weeks to find what it is you are looking for," Chiron said

"You're not going to ask what we're looking for?" Shawn asked

"If you haven't offered the information then I won't pry, I pray for your safe return Shawn I really do, Let me know if there is anything I can do, Alright?" Chiron said

"Very well... there is one thing, If I don't come back... Take care of my family" Shawn nodded before heading to the buffet,

the Meal was quiet and the campers we're barely talking, solemn at the upcoming dangerous quest, Shawn had pulled Percy aside and handed him a few books and told him "Consider it homework, I love you, bro, Take care of the cabin until I'm back," Shawn then went to Chiron who had gotten the paperwork and explained he was able to get Zeus's Permission for the flight for Shawn and guaranteed safe travels due to the seriousness of the quest,

It was 1:45 and the other two were saying goodbye to their cabinmate's who were wishing them luck and giving gifts to the two, Athena's cabin had given Annabeth a magic bag of holding and several vials of ambrosia and food just in case, the Apollo Cabin had given Will one of there bows that made arrows out of light due to Apollo's blessings it transformed into a bracelet and the two walked up to the top of the hill to greet Chiron, Shawn, Mr.D, Argus who had pulled the van around, and Percy and Grover who had come to see them off along with Luke castellan who was carrying a box, reaching them Luke held the box to Annabeth and said,

"These were a pair I stole from my dad a while back, I want you to use them, Take care of your self Annabeth," He said it in a very brotherly way and pushed the box to her and left without waiting for a reply,

"Your Boyfriend?" Shawn asked

"What! No! IT! It's not like that trust me!" She said flustered and ran to the van

"Will, Take care of my brother will ya?" Percy asked

"Of course! besides, what would he do without me or Annabeth? We're the real brains behind the operation!" as soon as he finished his sentence he received a slap on the back of his head by Shawn,

"Get to the car, you moron! I'll be fine Percy I have no plans on dying! Besides I cant Die I don't think they'll let me..." Shawn said gesturing to the two who were making there way back to get him,

"Any words of wisdom for me, Oh Great Chiron?" Shawn said chuckling

"Just keep that head on your shoulders and those limbs in the right places and you'll be fine!" Chiron said with a hearty laugh, "Now go on, No time to waste is there?"

"No there is not, No there is not," Shawn said repeating himself with a more solemn tone,

The Van was roomy since they put their luggage into Annabeth's bag of holding and they made their way to the airport,
