"First off, Harry Potter, we are Elves. We naturally live forever,
and stay young for all eternity, until we die. Secondly, Didact
here is a Forerunner. Alien. Extra-terrestrial. The one who used
the curse on you is Skyeline, a student of magic and Bearer of
Nenya, also mutant." Celebrian explained.
"My, my rather slow are you, Perseus?" Skye taunted as she dodged
Percy's attack again, Nenya glowing bright, enhancing her skills.
"You know, I think Kym has a crush on you - she definitely had
something going on for you, until you upped and offed to somewhere
beyond Atlantis... the grunt you would have produced would be
killed at once, of course. And FYI, Annabeth is dating LUKE, not
you~" She said, all the while dodging Percy's rage-filled, clumsy
attacks.
( I don't even know how to respond to that.)
There was an unbroken silence in the map room. Harry had exhausted
his questions, allowing Didact to concentrate.

"Have the mutants burn it." Celebrian suggested. "They are
capable of controlling flames, right?" Harry gaped at that.
"Without a wand?" He asked. "I thought-" Celebrian held up a
suddenly glowing hand, and Harry's mouth sealed shut. "Another
time, I will explain. But for now, stay quiet."
Skye viciously kicked Percy's gut, but the demigod was fast, and he
grabbed her legs as she tried to swim away, and yanked her back,
towards his sword. Skye pointed Harry's wand at him. "Stupefy!"
With that, he was stunned, and Skye was left breathless on the
ocean floor.
"Yes." Beowulf muttered. "And according to vibrations in the
ground, that fir mutant is fighting on the ocean floor with
someone."
"Really?" Didact asked. "Why hasn't that Elf gotten her back yet?"

Quill grabbed some scuba gear and headed out. He saw Celebrian.
"Wheres to the ocean? I wanna catch the fight." Boomer rolled his
eyes and pulled out a pear.
Percy's body, right on cue, floated up next to her. "And Haldir?
Get the Demigod to Kym." She said, before teleporting back to the
bottom of the sea. Haldir sighed. He was fated to run errands all
his life, it seemed.
"It is all around us, Quill." Celebrian replied. "But Skye, on the
other hand, is conveniently sixty or so miles away."
"Uh-oh, I think we're in trouble I detect powerful seismic waves
nearby." Artanis said "We have to evacuate or fight back those
stuff that are gonna come out are nasty."
What was that? Skye thought as she felt something shift at
the bottom of the ocean. A quick scan of the surrounding energies,
and she had the answer. Too panicked to teleport, she simply kicked
off as fast as she could, hoping that she would be fine. No such
luck, as from down below a tentacle appeared, black and green, and
grabbed onto her legs, dragging the helpless mutant under into the
ground. "HELP!!!"
The Gravemind had found them. It rested in the cavern, silently. It
just had to wait for the other. It wouldn't kill them yet. It had
another job for them.
Didact swore. He ran as fast as he could towards the edge of the
facility and dived, quickly followed by Jorge. Green tentacles
appeared. "Could have thought that one out better." Beowulf
muttered as they were dragged down. Didact's armor, waterproof and
with oxygen, was holding up, as was Jorge's.

Skye tried to struggle against the tentacles, but they were too
strong, for her. She struggled as she was clapped in irons, and
tied up. "Let me go!" Then she was afforded her first sight
of the Gravemind, and its lair, which was chock-full of Orcs,
Flood, and dragons.
A giant worm emerged from the ground "Look at those things..."
Artanis said "Nydus worms, zerge ground transport, very dangerous.
Ready the fleet." Artanis said as the Nydus Worm started spewing
out roaches, zerglings and hydralisks.
