Zayn


I had a strange dream as I fell asleep worrying about the prophecy.

I was in a room made of shadows, there was an horn in the middle of the room? It had Greek and Roman writing all over it.

I read some of the Greek it was like a poem for some reason I knew it was important...


It said...

"For two months you will look.
Below the living.
To return what we took.
From the breathing.
For the horns song.
Is sweet, irresistible and long"

I woke up breathing hard and sweating, what was all that about?

Then I realised that a shadow was balancing a water cup over my head, now living in the Hades cabin this was an every day appearance and I knew exactly how to handle it.

"Nico!" I yelled angrily, I tried to control his shadow but it just tipped and I was soaked, ok maybe I didn't know how to handle it but I sure as Hades knew who was responsible.

Nico peaked through the cabin door, looking innocent.

"Yes?" he asked sweetly.

"I'm up, idiot" I snapped, Nico just smirked.

I sent some shadows at him but he reflected them easily then shut the door before I decided to throw something more solid at him.

I sat outside Louis cabin, he came out looking refreshed, he saw my soaked form and burst out laughing, I glared. "I'm glad I amuse you" I said sarcastically.

Niall and Liam quickly came and gave me a questioning glance.

I sighed "Don't ask".

10 minutes later Harry came out looking like he just got out of bed, mind you he probably just had.

"Sorry, Harris set my alarm on the wrong setting" he said.

I grumbled "At least you had an alarm, my Wake Up call was a glass of dam water!" Harry saw me and sniggered as did everyone else.

"So what do we do now?" Liam asked.

I said slowly, remembering that Demigods dreams were meant to mean something, I think I learnt that in one of our Demigod classes and in some bits my dream was quite obvious, I mean where else is Below The Living meant to be? "We head to the underworld" I told them about the dream.

"That's what I call creepy" Niall said.

Liam said frowning "So you think we have to find this Horn?"

I shrugged "I guess so, must be at least a little important right?"

Louis looked troubled but whatever he was thinking he didn't voice them.

Harry looked very pale, "You alright?" I asked.

He said shuddering "That horn just feels familiar, thats all"

Louis suggested "Maybe you heard it in one of our monster class's"

Harry shook his head "I don't think so" He said looking creeped out, I couldn't blame him.

"How about you ask your father about it Zayn? The horn sounds like its in the underworld" Liam said.

I shrugged "We could give it a try, I suppose" In truth I wasn't feeling that optimistic.

Harry wondered "How do we get there?"

I grinned suddenly "Have you ever heard of Shadow Travelling? Every one gather around me"

"Wait! What about Chiron? He said he wanted to talk to us before we went" Niall said.

Louis replied before I could, rolling his eyes "And what? He'll start telling us how dangerous it is and start making me feel paranoid, you know how cheerful he is..."

Harry snorted "Good point"

"Hold on! What's shadow travelling?" Liam demanded but I just smiled and the shadows engulfed us...

I just hoped I wouldn't end up in China this time.
