Nick, Simi, Kody, and Dagon stood deep in the bowels of Tartarus, where Simi’s “scary” room was located. She was right. It was kind of slimy where they kept the Eye of Ananke.
But for once, they’d had an easy time getting to it, since their guide was the son of the goddess Hekate.
Turns out, if you’re friends with a friend of Hades and your mom is best friends and the handmaiden of Persephone, you’re gold to visit his realm. All Hekate had demanded was a kiss and hug from her son.
Simi picked up the dark green gem and handed it to Nick. “Oooo sparkly. So what’s this for, anyway?”
“Not real sure.”
Dagon took it out of Nick’s hands and pressed it to Nick’s forehead. “It functions like a third eye. You place it there and you can see the future.”
Nick fell silent as he saw not just the future, he saw all of them. It was like being in the alternate universe all over again.
Only this time, he saw every universe, including this one.
Now he understood exactly what Ambrose had been talking about.
No wonder his future self had been so freaked out by everything.
There before him, he saw clearly every single mistake each of them would make that would bring them closer to the end of the world.
It was horrifying.
But the one question still remained …
Could it be stopped before it was too late?
