Twelve Olympians High:The Book Of Hades

I watched as the ship moved towards Charybdis and Scylla, "Hey Olivia! You think you can assist us here?!" I called out. 


Olivia looked at me grimly and shook her head "Even my dad isn't a match for Charybdis' power." She said. 


"Sail for Scylla, and get the dead on board!" Mino called out. 


"Seth! We need a dozen bodies on deck!" Odysseus yelled. 


"God I wish Medea was here." Jason said. 


Seth ran out with some of the dead following, each wearing Spartan attire and carrying Spartan weapons. Seth looked even paler than usual. 


Seth nodded slowly, but I knew his power was running thin. 


"All demigods get below deck!" Adam yelled running below. 


I followed with everyone else as the dead soldiers stayed behind. Seth moved to the end of the rowing stations with Olivia and sat down with her. Olivia began to meditate telling Seth how to guide the Argo. Penny and I sat down near some barrels as the ship cut through the water. 


"So....you ever come out here before?" Penny asked. 


"Once, but I flew in with Perseus." I answered. 


The thought of purposely going through the strait scared me. I thought that we could fly in again, until I realized that one Seth has a fear of heights, and two Adam can't fly at night. 


Above I could hear the dead Spartans scrambling to get into formations. I took a deep breath and commanded them as best as I could. 


"Penny. I'm gonna need that Athena battle strategy." I said. 


Penny began telling me orders for the soldiers, as the ship moved through the strait.  I willed the Spartans to follow all the orders I was given with great difficulty. For people who don't raise the dead often, they only listen to the person who raised them. You could be their old general, and they would only listen to their new commander. However, this rule didn't exactly apply to children of Hades. It's just really difficult for us to will soldiers we didn't raise. 


The ship continued through, and I felt Scylla's snakes banging against the ship as we continued on. I could feel the panic and hurt of the undead as they tried to defend us. I winced when two soldiers were pulled off the ship. The ship continued past. Four more soldiers were taken off the deck, and my concentration broke. I fell off my seat, and Penny caught me. 


The ship finally got out of the strait, and we moved through the waters peacefully. I stood up, and felt exhausted. Penny sat me back down 


"Whoa whoa whoa...get some rest Dead Hair. I'll go up top and handle everything from there. I'll come get you if something comes up." She said. 


I nodded and slowly passed out where I was, then that the dream came.
