Chapter 121

Percy pocketed the marble and smiled, "thanks," he then continued to walk out closing the door behind him.

"Bye Percy!" Persephone said waving the demigods away. She then turned to her husband and then pulled on his chain, "so what's for dinner?"

"Why are you asking me that?" Hades crossed his arms definitely. Persephone then glared at him with the look of death until he gave in, "okay then I'll make something. Is pizza okay?"

Persephone glare turned into a smile as she bounced on the throne, "yup!"

Percy quickly ran out of the palace and ran through the Underworld eventually he reached the entrance of the Underworld and looked around for Charon, who wasn't here. Great, just great. Knowing that asshole he is probably buying some new suits with the money Percy used to bribe him.

The sad part was Alecto was half way across the country right now with the demigods, even if he could command her to come here it would take a long time and Percy didn't want to risk it. After all if what Persephone said was true, souls could get lost along the way and the last thing he needed right now was one of his servants haunting an ice cream shop or something. Hmm…. ice cream.

Percy sighed, now that he had some time to kill he pulled up his stats;

Right now his stats were pretty good, very well balanced. But if what Persephone said is true….then he would be facing an Olympian soon, and not the kind that could be tricked like Ares. Percy wondered why anyone ever takes that guy seriously, sure he never actually fought him fair and square but still the guy is an idiot!

Percy then dismissed the stats and looked up just in time to see Charon approach the banks of the Styx. Percy smiled as he drew out the Master Bolt, time to threaten the Ferryman. The moment the boat docked all the spirits got down, and after making sure none of them were demigods from camp, Percy walked to Charon who immediately noticed him.

"Percy? Oh hey man I'm surprised you're alive! Did you get what you came for? Hey...is that the-"

Percy cut the man off as he stuck the bolt into the man's face. He channeled some bloodlust into his voice, "take me back to the other side or I will blast half your face off."

The Ferry man gulped, "ah...sure. No problem man."

Percy then held onto the helm of the boat as Charon took him back to the mortal realm. They passed the river Styx again and when the boat turned into an elevator Percy kept his eyes peeled, in case Charon did something.

The elevator then opened up showing the lobby of the DOA. Percy got out and turned to Charon, "thanks." Percy put away the bolt and flicked Charon a coin which the Ferryman caught easily.

Percy then took out the clay pot Persephone gave him and walked around the lobby looking for the spirits of his friends. Since they were new and just killed they should all be near the entrance, and the moment Percy thought that he located them.

The first person he saw was Travis Stoll, the boy was smiling and in the middle of a joke, probably trying to keep everyone's spirits up. Percy smiled at that and quite snuck up behind the group.

"...so I said, 'Conner dude, that's a tampon'. And believe me, he lost his shit!" Travis laughed as he healed onto his stomach causing a ripple of laughter to spread all over the little group.

"That's hilarious Travis," Percy said cutting in. Slowly all the demigods turned around and noticed him standing there. Percy then smiled, "hey guys, fancy seeing you all here."

"Percy?!" Travis quinones in aloud voice as he jumped onto Percy pulling him into a huge. "It's so good to see you!"

"Percy?" came a familiar voice from his left. Percy broke the hug and turned to see Annabeth standing there whole. She didn't have a huge cauterized whole in the middle of her chest, in fact she looked normal, "what are you doing here? D-did you die?"

Percy shook his head, "no Annabeth I didn't. I came back for you, all of you," Percy then pulled the clay pot Persephone gave him, "whit this I will be able to send you guys back."

"B-but Percy you can't do that! The dead cannot come back to life!" Annabeth shouted while the rest of the demigods looked uneasy about that.

"It's okay I talked to Hades. We worked out a deal like Orpheus did. I gave him his helmet and in return he allowed me to take you guys out of here," Percy said smiling at them all.

Slowly the air around them changed, while before they were laughing the thought of death still hung around their heads, but now...now there was hope in their eyes.

"Well then what are you waiting for?!" Travis said breaking the silence that fell, "let's do this!"

"Percy are you sure you won't get into any trouble with Olympus because of this?" Annabeth asked with concern in her eyes. But below that Percy could see hope just like everyone else.

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll be fine," Percy said.

Lie Success!

Annabeth nodded slowly as Percy turned to the group and held the pot up, "now how do this thing work?"
