We stand in looking at gold letters etched in black marble: DOA RECORDING STUDIOS
It's lit on the inside. The lobby is full of people.
"Remember the plan guys?" Percy asks.
"Yep." Grover says. I nod.
We walk in. We make our way over to the desk.
"Ready for passage?" A tough looking guy behind the desk asks.
We all nod. He looks up.
"...together?" He asks.
"Yep. In a bath." Grover.
"All three of you?" He looks over his glasses.
"It was a bug bathtub." Percy explains.
"You got passage?"
Percy slaps it down.
💙
"Maia! Maia!" Grover shrieks. His shoes are slowly flying up.
Percy isn't playing attention. I grab at him. "Huh? GROVER!" We both reach out for him.
I grab his arm and Percy manages his hand.
We're dragged down towards a gaping hole.
"Y/n, I'll hold him, take the shoes off!" I stumble down the incline and grab one of the shoes.
I yank it off. I untie the other one and it flies away.
We stop being pulled down. We catch our breath.
"Can you walk?" Percy directs this at Grover.
"Yeah...never liked those shoes anyways." He responds.
💙
We soon arrive at Hades palace.
"You're brave to come here after all you've done to me, son of Poseidon." Hades slurs out.
Okay...yeah...and Grover and I..? What about us?
"Uh Lord...and Uhm uncle...I have two requests." Percy says.
"Oh my gosh! Only two?! Reallyyy?" He says in a high pitched voice and bats his eyes. He switches.
"After all you've done?!" He yells I clutch onto the back of Percy's flannel. If something happens he's not going alone.
"I'm sorry...uh...uncle...but what exactly did I do..?" Percy asks him.
"Uh...stole my helmet? Duh." He rolls his eyes.
Damn! This man is sassy.
"What? Helmet?! We- We came here for the master bolt." He explains.
"Which you literally already possess!" He leans on his right leg and puts a hand to his hip.
"Wha-" Hades cuts Percy off.
"In the backpack." He rolls his eyes.
I step back.
Percy unzips his backpack. It glows.
Holy shit.
Percy has the master bolt.
"I know what you're really here for."
He snaps and who I assume to be Miss Jackson appears.
Percy reaches out to touch her.
Hades snaps again. She disappears.
Percy gets out the three pearls and hands them to Grover and I.
"Ah, the little Pearls." Hades says. A smug look comes over his face.
"Aw, to bad you only have three. Not enough to save mommy. Or! You could leave a friend here with me. Preferably the girl. Boy, you are NOISY." He waves his hand around at Grover.
"Hey!" He says back.
Percy's eyes go glassy.
"Sorry mom." He whispers. Hades look fades.
"Woah there bud." He says quickly.
"GUYS, NOW!" Percy yells.
We smash the pearls at our feet.
