Percy POV: I have finally fallen asleep hoping for a dreamless sleep. But noooooo I have stupid dreams. I'm stood in a clearing in the middle of a redwood forest which seems vaguely familiar. In front of me was the ruins of a stone mansion. Low gray clouds blended with the ground fog and cold rain hung in the air. A pack of large gray wolves milled around me, brushing against my legs, snarling and baring their teeth. They gently start the nudge me toward the ruins. I had no desire to become the world's biggest dog biscuit so I did what they wanted. The ground squelched under my boots as I walked. Stone spires of chimneys, no longer attached to anything rose up like totem poles. The house must've been enormous once, multistoried with massive log walls and a soaring gables roof, but now nothing remained but it's stone skeleton. I passed under a crumbling doorway a found myself in a kind of courtyard. Before me was a drained pool that was rectangular. I couldn't tell how deep it was because the bottom was filled with most. A dirt path led all the way around, and the houses uneven walls rose on either side. Wolves paced under archways of rough red volcanic stone. At the far end of the pool sat a giant she wolf, several feet taller than me. Her eyes glowed silver in the fog, and her coat was the same color as the rocks, warm chocolatey red. "I know this place." I say to nobody in particular the wolf regarded me. She didn't exactly speak, but I could understand her. The movements of her ears and whiskers, the flash of her eyes, the way she curled her lips, all of those were part of her language. "Of course," the she wolf said "you began your journey here as a pup. Now you must find your way back. A new quest. A new start." "Can you guide me?" I ask. Lady Lupa made a rumbling noise deep in her throat, and the mist in the pool dissolved. At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing. At the opposite ends of the pool, 2 dark spires had erupted from the cement floor like the drill bits of some massive tunneling machines boring through the surface. I couldn't tell if the spires we're made of rock or petrified vines, but they were formed of thick tendrils that came together in a point at the top. Each spire was about five feet tall, but they weren't identical. The one closest to me was darker and seemed like solid mass, it's tendrils fuses together. As I watched, it pushed a little farther out of the earth and expanded a little wider. On Lupas end of the pool the second spires tendrils we're more open like the bars of a cage. Inside I could vaguely see a misty figure struggling, shifting within it's confines. "Juno," I say but immediately correct myself "Hera," Lupa growled in agreement. The other wolves circled the pool, their fur standing up on their backs as they snarled at the spires. The enemy has chosen this place to awaken her most powerful son, the giant king, our sacred place, where demigods are claimed, the place of life or death. The burned house. The house of the wolf. It is an abomination. You must stop her. Lupa said "Her?" I said confused "You mean Juno?" Lupa gnashed her teeth impatiently. Use your senses, pup. I care nothing for Juno, but if she falls our enemy awakens. And that will be the end for all of us. You know this place. You can find it again. Cleanse our house. Stop this before it's to late. The dark spire grew slowly larger, like the bulb of some horrible flower. I sensed if it ever opened, it would release something I did not wanna meet. finally I woke up and I knew I had to save Juno or Hera whatever. But it scared me shitless like the idea of going up against an evil force powerful enough to kidnap Juno scared me because I didn't even fully remember my past which meant not fully understanding my powers. I don't know Juno personally- well I don't think I do but anyway she still is a major goddess and a pretty powerful one to and if they were able to kidnap here how powerful were they?

Shorter chapter. Anyway I was wondering right now I'm basically coping off the book and if I keep doing this it'll take more 100 more chapters till the fight. So it ok if I just skip to the fight with some vague chapters about the 7 before and have Nico and Percy be together after and keep the book going after that? If u want could you give some feedback I would really appreciate it. :)
