The first thing Reyna noticed when she woke up was a person snoring. At first she thought she was at the quest with the Athena Pantheons, but then she noticed the cement grey ceiling, and got to her senses.

No matter what, she knew that snoring. It was Nico's, without doubt. Reyna tried to remember something from yesterday, maybe her and Nico had fallen asleep playing a videogame or something, and after all it wouldn't be the first time. But nothing came. No memories, not even one single idea about what had happened the last twenty-four hours.

It hardly made any sense, unless she had been captured and her memories had been wiped. She went limp, and started to listen after other people's breathing. She heard three others deep breathes, as if they were sleeping, but no sign at an awake capture. The path was clear.

She opened her eyes, and sat up, quickly scanning her prison. The room was made out of cold grey cement walls, with no furniture, doors or windows. Neither was there any security cameras, but even though the capture could possible still be watching them through magical ways.

On the floor was laying four people, which Reyna quickly recognized as Percy, Nico, Hazel and to her big surprise, Thalia Grace, Jason's sister.

What were they doing here? And why?

Reyna couldn't see one single thing that connected them somehow, unless something important had happened the last twenty-four hours.

She shook Nico's shoulder. "Nico! Wake up!" she ordered.

Nico kept snoring.

Reyna sighed, and tried again, even though she knew it was hopeless. When Nico fell asleep, not even an earthquake could wake him up.

As he kept snoring, she decided to move on to Hazel. She shook the younger girl's shoulders, and Hazel slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What's happening?" she mumbled, clearly not really awake yet. Then she seemed to notice Reyna and she knitted her brows. "Reyna?" she asked, yawning. "What are you—"she looked shocked around, first now noticing where they were. "Where are we?" she asked, seeming a bit more awake.

"I don't know," Reyna admitted. "Try to see if you can wake some of the others up."

Hazel nodded, and moved on to Thalia, and Reyna moved on to Percy.

She had kinda expected Percy to be one of those guys who was impossible to wake from sleep, but as soon as she touched his shoulders, he sprang to life, looking around, his sea green eyes swirling, as he was expecting a monster to kill him any second.

Then she mentally chided herself for thinking so, this boy had been a demigod for many years, and probably been on countless quests, one of them being through Tartarus. Percy was probably used to be woken up with a monster on his way to kill him. No matter how easy going this guy looked, it was no reason to underestimate him.

"What's happening?" Percy asked, his voice tense. "Where are we?"

"In a kind of prison." She answered, even though that part was kinda obvious.

Suddenly Percy let out an annoyed sigh. "You gotta be kidding," he muttered, "I got amnesia again."

"Oh, my dear cousin! Always looking at the bright side of things!" Thalia said, slowly standing up. "So anyone care telling me what I am doing here?"

Hazel shrugged. "I don't know. When Reyna woke me up, I was just here."

"And to the more important question." Percy interrupted. "Why can Sleeping Beauty over there—" he pointed at Nico—"be the only one who doesn't have to wake up?"

Reyna and Hazel shared a look, both of knowing that waking up Nico wasn't as easy as it sounded. "You're welcome to try to wake him up," she told Percy.
