I saw now that Tyson was approaching us with a very serious expression on his face. You could see from the expression of his that he had obviously noticed a tension between us and he was probably coming to see what was going on. I really did not want this situation to get too complicated.

"Y/n! Percy!" Tyson said

I turned my attention towards Tyson when he had called out to me. Percy kept looking at me with that same expression and I felt as if he could see through me right now.

"Hey, Tyson." I said sniffling

"Is everything okay here? In fact, are you both okay?" Tyson said exchanging looks between me and Percy

I was still trying to process what had just happened and the fact that I had just rejected the man I loved. I felt the pain of this whole situation deep inside and it was tearing me apart.

"I'm okay." I said softly

Tyson nodded then looked over at Percy.

"Brother?"

"Um, yea. Yea i'm fine."

"Okay, well you guys might want to check this out." Tyson said keeping a serious expression

We both turned our attention towards Tyson now. The two of us were extremely intrigued on what it was that Tyson wanted us to see. We now had a new topic and a shift in the mood had emerged as the serious atmosphere became much more lighthearted now. I was thankful that Tyson had arrived when he did because my anxiety was running extremely high and I didn't know what the result would have been had he not decided to interrupt the conversation between me and Percy

Annabeth noticed us and rushed over to percy.

"Percy, look." Annabeth pointing towards the water

Percy, in confusion looks over and the water. He cautiously gets down on one knee and squints his eyes.

"It's our boat. It has sunk." He said

Percy's eyes widened in sudden realization as he saw the boat had now sunk was startling and I could feel a deep disturbance running through the air. The fact that our boat was now at the bottom of the ocean stirred a huge problem because that meant that our plans were now cancelled.

Everyone looked at each other in complete panic.

"It means we will have to stay here a bit longer than expected. This is a real is a major inconvenience to us all. Our boat sinking means we can no longer get to Luke when we were supposed to and we will now have to stay on this island longer than we had previously thought. " Percy says breaking the tension

"Rainbow." Tyson said

"What?" asked Percy

"Hippocampi, they can help!"

"Hippocampi? And how would you get them to help us?" I said

"Hippocampi are creatures that resemble a combination between a horse and fish. They are under the jurisdiction of the god of the seas, Poseidon. Meaning my dad will help me." Tyson said proudly

I still wasn't sure how many Hippocampi would be willing to help us but, as Tyson had said, they could help, so it was worth a shot.
