"Percy."

Percy grumbled.

"Perseus."

"I'm trying to sleep," Percy grumbled, not opening his eyes.

He heard a sigh. "Perseus Jackson, open your eyes and listen to me!"

Percy groaned, but opened his eyes. He was lying on the white floor of a completely white room. "What is this place? It's so... empty," Percy said, looking around.

"Your mind," The voice responded.

Percy blinked. "Okay, that was kind of offensive. Who are you?"

"Don't you recognize my beautiful voice, Perseus?" The voice said. When Percy didn't answer, the voice said, "I am Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty."

"Ooooh," Percy said. "Well why is your voice in my head? I'm trying to sleep."

"Perseus, honey, you're dreaming. You are sleeping," Aphrodite chided. "And I'm here to help you."

"Help me? Help me do what? Everything is better then it ever has been," Percy said.

"That's not true," Aphrodite sighed, "You're under Nico's control. He's forcing you to love him."

"What are you talking about? Master would never do that, he loves me too much. Wait... why did I just call Master Master? Ugh! Why can't I just call Master by his real name?!" Percy said, trying to say Nico's name but failing miserably.

"Percy, open your eyes - not literally, don't wake up yet - and think! You're a under a spell done by my own amazing magic," Aphrodite said.

Percy sighed. "I suppose you're probably right. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with Annabeth and have no feelings for Nico. But... aren't you under the love spell too?" Percy said.

Aphrodite laughed. "Oh, Percy, you really think my own magic is going to work on me? I just changed my eye color to pink and acted brainwashed so I could carry out my plan to save everyone! I know, I'm amazing. But I did have to actually charmspeak you earlier if I wanted Nico to not suspect anything, and for that, I'm sorry," She said.

"You're smarter then I thought you were," Percy said.

"Thank you... I think."

"Besides waking up my mind and all, why are you in my dream? My body is still under Master's spell. I can't even call him by his real name!" Percy said. He was especially annoyed about the whole 'Master' thing.

"Well, I'll fix that body part, I have enough strength for that. And I'm sending you on a quest. I have to admit, my magic is so strong and was done so powerfully that even I can't undo it on everyone. The one way to is if you go find the Fates and get them to take you back in time, before Nico got that scarf. Gods, I wish I hadn't given that  to Hades, but I owed him. Anyways, just do that, and everything should be good," Aphrodite said.

"You realize how crazy that is, right? The underworld is Nico's turf. There's no way we'll be able to get through it without Nico reaching us or monsters attacking," Percy said.

"I can help with the monster part. I put a spell over you that will keep monsters and anything dead away from you. The Nico part on the other hand... well, that I cannot help with. But I know you will not fail, Perseus," Aphrodite said.

"Okay, I guess," Percy shifted positions awkwardly. "So am I going on this quest all by myself...?"

"Oh, that reminds me! You can pick two other demigods to go on this quest with you. That's all I really have the strength for and three is the lucky Greek number," Aphrodite said.

"Annabeth Chase and Thalia Grace," The son of Poseidon said without hesitation.

"Done. They are now back to normal as well. I trust you'll tell them what to do. And I am keeping your eyes magically pink, since you'll still have to pretend to be brainwashed before you leave Camp," Aphrodite said.

"Thank you," Percy said. "Now can I wake up?"

"Go ahead. And don't fail!" The goddess said.

"I'll try my best," Percy said. He opened his eyes, and this time he really was awake. He was laying in the now all black Poseidon cabin with skulls on the ceiling. He sat up in his bed, a determined grin spreading across his face.

"Nico is going down," Percy said. To be honest, he was happy he could just say the word 'Nico.'

Really short chapter but I wanted to give you guys something. By the way, I'm planning on publishing a new book soon! And this one will be done soon.
