The Crown of Kronos: Prologue

''You’d think I’ll let the gods win this war? No. The plan is now in motion, and if they dare stop us, well, they couldn’t. Lord Kronos will rise again. ''

I had spied on those puny demigods, still celebrating on their victory. I chuckled softly. Their happiness will be short-lived.

I shadow-traveled to Poseidon's cabin. Quietly, I opened the door.

There was the great hero, Percy Jackson, sleeping peacefully, with a silly grin on his face. I touched his face with one cold hand and his eyes opened. "Ah!" He gasped, but I clenched my fist and knocked him out. I slung him against my shoulder, he was very light. I smiled to myself. My mistress will reward me for fulfilling my mission.

I walked to the central green, and I saw my sister, Palmira, a triumphant look on her face. Unconscious against her back was Annabeth Chase. I nodded to her.

"Have you done the poisoning?" I asked.

Palmira smirked. "Of course I have."

I grunted. "Let's go, then." I shifted Percy from my left shoulder to my right and stepped beside her.

"How the mighty have fallen." Palmira glanced at me, and winked. We linked our hands and shadow-traveled to Mount Othrys.
