Hazel was yelling for the others, but even if they heard her over the chaos, they'd never make it in time. Annabeth's leg felt like it was pulling free of her body. Pain washed everything in red. The force of the Underworld tugged at her like dark gravity. She didn't have the strength to fight. She knew she was too far down to be saved. \"Percy, let me go,\" she croaked. \"You can't pull me up.\" His face was white with effort. She could see in his eyes that he knew it was hopeless. \"Never,\" he said. He looked up at Nico, fifteen feet above. \"The other side, Nico We'll see you there. Understand?\" Nico's eyes widened. \"But-\" \"Lead them there!\" Percy shouted. \"Promise me!\" \"I- will.\" Below them, the voice laughed in the darkness. Sacrifices. Beautiful sacrifices to wake the goddess. Percy tightened his grip on Annabeth's wrist. His face was gaunt, scraped and bloody, his hair dusted with cobwebs, but when he locked eyes with her, she thought he had never been more handsome. \"We're staying together,\" he promised. \"You're not getting away from me. Never again.\" Only then did she understand what would happen. A oneway trip. A very hard fall. \"As long as we're together,\" she said. She heard Nico and Hazel still screaming for help. She saw the sunlight far, far above- maybe the last sunlight she would ever see. Then Percy let go of his tiny ledge, and together, holding hands, he and Annabeth fell into the endless darkness.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rick Riordan" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/rick-riordan/nico-leaned-over-the-edge-o-the-chasm-thrusting-out-his-hand-but-he/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a68/rick-riordan-27_holding-hands_nico-leaned-over-the-edge-o-the-chasm-th_1777932.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a68/rick-riordan-27_holding-hands_nico-leaned-over-the-edge-o-the-chasm-th_1777932.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a68/rick-riordan-27_holding-hands_nico-leaned-over-the-edge-o-the-chasm-th_1777932.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Nico leaned over the edge o the chasm, thrusting out his hand, but he was much too far away to help.

You’ll have to trust me. Put your arms around my neck and hang on.” “How can you possibly—” “There!” cried a voice behind them. “Kill the ungrateful tourists!” The children of Nyx had found them. Annabeth wrapped her arms around Percy’s neck. “Go!” With her eyes closed, she could only guess how he managed it. Maybe he used the force of the river somehow. Maybe he was just scared out of his mind and charged with adrenaline. Percy leaped with more strength than she would have thought possible. They sailed through the air as the river churned and wailed below them, splashing Annabeth’s bare ankles with stinging brine. Then—CLUMP. They were on solid ground again. “You can open your eyes,” Percy said, breathing hard. “But you won’t like what you see.” Annabeth blinked. After the darkness of Nyx, even the dim red glow of Tartarus seemed blinding. Before them stretched a valley big enough to fit the San Francisco Bay. The booming noise came from the entire landscape, as if thunder were echoing from beneath the ground. Under poisonous clouds, the rolling terrain glistened purple with dark red and blue scar lines. “It looks like…” Annabeth fought down her revulsion. “Like a giant heart.” “The heart of Tartarus,” Percy murmured. The center of the valley was covered with a fine black fuzz of peppery dots. They were so far away, it took Annabeth a moment to realize she was looking at an army—thousands, maybe tens of thousands of monsters, gathered around a central pinpoint of darkness. It was too far to see any details, but Annabeth had no doubt what the pinpoint was. Even from the edge of the valley, Annabeth could feel its power tugging at her soul. “The Doors of Death.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rick Riordan" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/rick-riordan/you-said-it-was-twenty-feet-yeah-you-ll-have-to-trust-me-put-your/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d4f/rick-riordan-27_death_you-said-it-was-twenty-feet-yeah-you-ll_2556144.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d4f/rick-riordan-27_death_you-said-it-was-twenty-feet-yeah-you-ll_2556144.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d4f/rick-riordan-27_death_you-said-it-was-twenty-feet-yeah-you-ll_2556144.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“You said it was twenty feet!” “Yeah.
