The Prince of Time, Chapter thirteen.

It was hoorible. Plain terrifying. There was spider silk EVERYWHERE, and so many cocoons... I didn't want to think about what was in those. All that was left was that punk chick, the huge girl, and the nymph that kept giving me evil looks. I made a small fire with the light powers I'd been experimenting with. After that, I took off my hat and pulled my flute out of it and showed it to Kari.

"After this is all done, I'll give you those lessons, okay?" I asked her.

"I'd like that," she said, whith her said eyes showing a little bit of hope. I sat down and started to play an old song my mom had taught me, "Jesu' Joy of Man's Desiring", to calm everybody down.

"alright", Thalia said, hugging her knees. "So, we had been spying on Mount Othrys. We were doing a scouting mission for Artemis, since the gods have barracaded themselves in Olympus. AGAIN. We saw all kinds of monster's comeand go. Empousai, Storm Spirits, Wolves, Spiders, and these weird people that look like demigods, but their power feels rawer. We were investigating them. So, one day we see that glowing Titan, Hyperion, talking with what LOOKED like that corceress, Circe. I've never met her, but from what Annabeth and Percy said, I'm prettysure it was her". I had heard of all those guys around camp and in books before, but this was all pretty new and freaky from what I usually read.

Thalia continued, "We heard them talking, saying that there was a new Titan about to be born. It sounded like it was a really big deal, and they neede a mortal girl's blood to make it happen. That's when they saw us and set the Spiders on us. We tried to run, but they got us.... the three of us managed to stay hidden."

The nymph named Rowan started to cry.

Nolan looked thoughtful. Tsumi looked blank. Courntey and Kari looked shocked.

"Wait," I said. "Our oracle was kidnapped. They need a mortal girl. There HAS to be a connection here"
