They wake up on a cold dirt floor, surrounded by caving walls and the rumble of a mountain.
“Jason!” Percy gasps, sitting up so fast the gash on his side explodes with pain.
“I’m here!” He hears a faint groan, “I think it reset again.”
Wherever they were they had been stuck together for days, maybe weeks. It feels like some twisted version of calypso’s island. But despite never having known each other before… this, they have braved everything together
“PERCY!” Jason screams from across the cave. He is fading, turning to ghosts and shadows. His hand goes through that disappearing body.
“I don’t want to leave you,” His friend cries. “I don’t want to wake up.”
Percy Jackson is all alone as the mountain falls apart around him.
The dream resets.
He wakes up on a cold dirt floor.
