(It's unlikely that Mnemosyne would do such a thing; her nine daughters are the Muses, who are daughters of Zeus and much honored. Lethe, though, the river goddess of forgetfulness and oblivion, I could see helping Mania; but I don't know what you are going for with Mania's family; whose her father? Her mother? The Greek Mania doesn't give much to go on; but the Manai were said to be nurses of Eros/Cupid; which I found interesting - did you know that before making Annabeth=Psyche?)

(WOW you know your mythology :D. I'll change Mnemosyne to Lethe. I think all that's posted here about Mania is that she's the wife of Phobos or Hypnos or Morpheus or someone like that... I thought she was a goddess, probably on the Artemis, Athena, Apollo generation but I don't know that much about her. In the Underworld they can like have a boat ride or something through the rivers (Phlegethon, Acheron, Cocytus, Styx, etc.) to get to Lethe. And I think Annabeth was made Psyche because of the myth Cupid and Psyche when Cupid (in this case Annabeth) is sent out by Venus (in this case Mania) to do something awful to Psyche (Percy).

looking suddenly uncomfortably percy hesitantly said"well you see..ummm... me and you we are sort of.." Gosh this was harder than he expected
"Come on seaweed brain spit it out"
in a rush percy continued
"your my girlfriend!"
Then he winced as if expecting her to laugh.
"What did i ever do to deserve you?" She asked
At that Percy burst out laughing
"You'll regret those words later cause when you get your memories back im never going to stop holding those words against you" Percy said knowingly "But to answer your question this one time me and you were fighting this huge ----"
"Isnt this a touching reunion, but im afraid im crashing the party and just so you know there will be no later"
Startled the couple looked up unto the smirking face of Mania
(is it too early for annabeth to be calling percy seaweed brain? i couldnt resist tho it was perfect :P)
(ok thx and was the post ok??)
"I see then that is how you wish to play it, then i suppose i will have to begin now."with a snap of her fingers she was instantly dry and wearing clean clothes.
"You looked better before!!" Yelled Percy defiantly
and with one glare Mania had him on the other side of the cell chained to the wall
(let the fun begin)
Mania lifted one white hand, and wiped the mud from her shadowed eyes. Her lips curled in a cruel sneer."My dear Psyche, time to make your mistress proud...kill him!"
Mania smiled in a way that was clearly anything but tender, her teeth looked sharp in the dim cell. "I won't hurt him, that's what you are to do. Now do as I bid, I won't repeat myself twice."
(oh, just got a idea; does Annabeth have her dagger? We could make Mania "help" her point the dagger at Percy; but Annabeth turns it/twists aside the dagger into Mania at the last moment?)
(Well at the beginning of Son of Neptune he lost the Achilles's heel in the Tiber river; I don't know if he's gotten it back since?Very true; "help" as in force Annabeth to go along with her, manipulation; walk her through with it.)
(isn't he going to give her riptide, say kill me,
(and then she wavers, he kisses her, bam remember)
"What can he do for me? He's just a son of the sea god. He can, what, clean my moat or unclog my drains. I'm a goddess if you've forgotten, dear," Mania said, trying to be convincing. "But if you don't kill him right now, you'll force my hand to kill you instead."
Great, Annabeth thought. Athena thinking time.
"Fine," Annabeth huffed.
"Um, Annabeth, what about the "hey my memories are back" and "oh I'm the luckiest girl in the world"?" Percy said, not really getting it.
"Give me Riptide, Percy," Annabeth said, expressionless. She met Percy's eyes as if to say I got this.
"Kill me, Wise Girl. Just now that I still love you," he said tearing up. He's a good actor, Annabeth thought.
Catching her by surprise, he kissed her. It felt like a lonely, last kiss kind of kiss.
"What a touching moment, but GET ON with it," Mania urged. "Once he's dead, Poseidon will be crushed."
Annabeth poised the sword over her head like she was going to be big and dramatic.
The sword left her hand, but instead of going near Percy, the blade flung back super fast toward Mania.

(not sure. They've seemed to be in Mania's dungeon for a long time)
As Mania's blood was leaving her, Annabeth's memories greeted her.ooohhh it rhymes!!! thats awesome Mae!! ;P
(nice)
Then BOOM!!! Memories flooded Annabeth's mind left and right. Camp memories, family memories, memories of quest, memories of her friends, memories of war, and most importantly, memories of her and Percy. Annabeth was momentarily paralyzed because it felt like her head was going to explode like Mania's bloody side. The only things outside her memories she could charter was Percy's surprised, but relieved look. Like he doubted her for a second.

Camp Half-Blood was Camp Chaos for the period of time when the monster attacked again. They landed roughly on the strawberry patch (due to Blackjack's indecision on where to land so he wouldn't crush any campers) a little ways away from the giant monster/demigod/centaur/satyr/mythical creature showdown. Won't this thing stay dead, Nico though exasperatedly. He would have thought the Doors of Death had been opened again, but he knew they couldn't be, he would have known.
(Wait!! If didn't write that they were back at camp!! So Nico and Piper and Rachel aren there!! Just thought I should mention that.)
Awesome! Sorry coming home from play practice
"We have to help!" Piper cried.
"Do you REALLY think you're in any kind if shape to go fight a monster?" Richelieu asked.
"We'll we can't just sit here!!"
"Blackjack," Nico said, "take Piper to the infirmary. You can help bandage people up."
"Humph," Piper said as she flew away.

(what should happen now? Should there be a big battle and then they go look for Clarisse? She's missing right?)
(She's missing? Since when? I say big battle scene!!)
(I thought someone said that back... oh well. Should she go missing or is that too much now? Big battle= great!)
(Geez you guys right a lot!!)
"Are you sure you don't want to go with Piper," Nico asked Rachel.
"No. I'm sick of everyone fighting my battles. This is my camp too. I'll stop by the armory and pick up a sword that's probably older than me," Rachel said firmly.
"Be careful," Nico said. He leaned in and kissed her, then ran off to see if he could finish this monster once and for all.
(Can someone else write the battle scene. I'm not good at those)

"Nico!" Somebody shouted. "Good to have you back man!"
Nico nodded and drew his sword.
"Come 'ere you I filth," he said. Swaying from side to side, legs bent really for an attack. "I want a piece of you that i can hang on my wall."

(k)"DIE!!!" Nico screamed, a worthy and short battle cry. The campers followed behind him, yelling agreements.
The monster screamed back and was picking them up, making their numbers smaller. Nico knew it was hopeless, but he kept hacking. Then, they heard shouts in the distance.
Nico squinted. There, in the bright sunlight, was Chiron with the Party Ponies right behind him.
(i will edit this and make it a lot longer tonight, i swear.)
****************************************************
She recognized one of the campers. "Leo!" she said, delighted.
"What happened?" she said worriedly.
(BACK GUYS!!!!!! I WAS ON FINALS WEEK GOD YOU MADE ME READ 1000 POSTS! LITERALLY!)"Hey Pipes!"
(what does his leg look like?)
"What happened to you leg," Piper specified.
"Oh yeah, that. The monster was like all "rarrr" and I was totally throwing fireballs at it but then before I knew it, I had this big gash in my leg. No biggie really."
"Oh yeah, that. The monster was like all "rarrr" and I was totally throwing fireballs at it but then before I knew it, I had this big gash in my leg. No biggie really."
"It was a accident?" Leo smile was impishly sheepish.
(hehe. I love how they are carrying on two different conversations, lol!)
"Well, think of it as a battle triffle?"
"So should I, ah, charmspeak the wound to close?" she tried to joke.
"Your pretty voice has always been your weapon. And that weird horn from Heracles."
"Do you at least have an Apollo kid coming? It's looks bad," Piper sighed. "You're not losing tons of blood right?"
"Do you at least have an Apollo kid coming? It's looks bad," Piper sighed. "You're not losing tons of blood right?"
(INTENSITY, in a good way :))
"I think this guy named Toilets...""Toilers!" said a small guy about 14, entering the room.
"It'll be fine Pipes, just some nectar and I'll be up and walking in no time - you'll see. It's Clarisse we need to worry about, I lost track of her in all that." Leo waved worriedly toward the battle ground that Camp Half Blood had become.
(HAHA LOL)"Why does everyone call me Toliets?" he complained.

(So Clarisse IS missing...)
(So Clarisse IS missing...)
"Don't worry dude! Maybe you'll get a different nickname!"
"But everyone must carry a burden, young one," Leo said. "Mine is my awesomeness and good looks and..."
"Leo!" Piper exclaimed.
"Leo!" Piper exclaimed.
"I'm just telling the truth!"he complained.
