“Finally, a place where I will be able to relax and not have to prove my worth” I sighed
“I’m not sure that’s true. We won’t be getting the hoa from Hades; we’ll be getting the hoa from Persephone” Nico reminded
“Right. Forgot about her” I remembered
“Plus, we might get attacked bởi spirits. It’s happened before, to Percy, Thalia and I” Nico reminded me
“Well, hopefully our luck holds out” I đã đưa ý kiến
We walked ten steps into the Thế giới ngầm then… are luck broke. Around thirty evil spirits surrounded us. We all drew our weapons. The first one lunged at Annabeth and I slashed it in half. The rest surged forward. I could barely see. I was careful not to get to close to Nico and his sword because one touch from it will suck up your soul. A spirit jumped me from behind then held me up while another slashed at me. It caught me across the stomach, then went to Slash again, but I kicked it back. I pulled the spirit holding me over my head the slashed at it with my sword. Finally, there were only two left. They glared at us then sank back into the ground. I smiled as I watched them disappear then realized my áo sơ mi was ripped and soaked in blood. I pulled back the ripped part revealing a long cut from my left of my stomach to about three inches past my belly button.
“Hey Nico, are cuts from those spirits deadly?” I asked quietly
“Maybe, why?” Nico replied
I turned around and showed them my shirt. They all gasped when they noticed my white áo sơ mi was now stained red.
“Sarah, we need to get bạn to a doctor hoặc a god right now” Nico warned
Annabeth and Percy picked my up while Nico focused on crowed control and directions. bởi the time we got to the palace, Hades, Bob the titan and Persephone were waiting there. They all rushed phía trước, chuyển tiếp to help.
“Why is Hades multiplying then un multiplying?” I asked in a dazed voice.
Then everything went black. Then it went purple. Then red. Then blue. Then white. Then silver. Then gold. Then back to black again. I opened my eyes to find myself on the beach. The waves were a beautiful blue; the sand was warming my back. I was wearing an amazingly crafted white dress.
“Where am I?” I muttered
“You are in the Elysium” đã đưa ý kiến a voice from behind me. It was Nico.
“Does this mean I’m dead?” I asked
“No, you’re simply relaxing here” he said
“Prove it” I challenged
He came up to me and gave me a huge hug. He was shaking so violently, he started to make me shake. I pulled away and I looked him in the eye and noticed he was tearing up. I smiled and gave him a hug.
“So, did we get the golden jasmine?” I asked weakly
“Yup. Thanks to you, we can save Apollo” Nico said
