CHAPTER 1

It was two days after Larissa, Tia and Will came back from Serephin. And they brought with them Shyann former Queen of Serephin.

It was morning, 7 AM, and Tia and Larissa were in their very own cabins. Everyone was getting ready for the day.

Tia's cabin(or Aeolus's Cabin) was the most gorgeous cabin. The front was white, with a semi-large porch, with two pillars on both sides for a small roof. Wind chimes, and two flower boxes underneath both windows.

Inside had a dozen bunk beds which were white, and two chests laid at the foot and front of the beds. They were regular trunks you would see, leather brown with gold edges, and a latch and lock. The wallpaper was off-white, with blue and gray swirls on the top and bottom. In two corners were chairs, and to one wall was a huge bookcase, filled with books from their floating home, as well as special plants that gave the most sweetest scent.

In one of the corner's was a shrine to Aeolus, god of the winds. In the center at the other end of cabin was the bathroom sky blue paint, with a upright shower, a toilet, and a white marble sink, with a medicine cabinet and towel bar.

Tia was made head counselor, because all the other girls thought it she was the best choice.

In Larissa's cabin(or Khione's Cabin) was blue white marble that looked like frozen ice up close. It had a larger porch than Tia's cabin, and also had two pillars on both sides for a small roof to hold up. It had two windows, and a porch swing, with pillows and cushions.

Inside was a dozen bunk beds, that were the darkest shade of blue, with specially designed trunks that resembled ice and snow with locks. The wallpaper was a bit of a dark sky blue with snowflakes swirling around. It had the same set up as Tia's cabin, two chairs that were in the corner, and a white bookshelf with books, and special snow and ice plants from their home. And a bathroom with with an off-white wallpaper, and frozen icicles on the top and bottom, with an upright shower, a toilet, medicine cabinet and marble sink and a towel bar.

Like Tia's cabin, their was a shrine to their patron goddess, Khione.

The girls in the Khione cabin thought that it was best that Larissa to be head counselor.

By the time everyone was at the Mess Hall it was almost eight.

Larissa and Tia's tables were right next to each other. Shyann was the only one from Serephin, at this moment. The others would be coming later.

Everyone "ordered" their food, and went to sacrifice to their patron god or goddess. Then they ate, and chatted with their cabin.

As soon as breakfast was over Shyann, Tia, Larissa, and Will met at the Stables. They had all brought a small duffle, and backpack. Except of course Tia, with her books she brought a medium sized duffle, and a larger sized backpack

"I told you not to bring so many books…" stated Larissa.

"Yeah, yeah. So, we are leaving again?" asked Tia.

"Yep. Will did you stock up on medicine?" asked Larissa.

"Yeah… Here. Be safe." answered Will, as he handed a backpack to Larissa and walked off.

"Hey! Where are you going?" called Larissa, as she caught up with him.

"What?" questioned Will.

"You're supposed to come with us!" exclaimed Larissa.

"I can't."

"Why?"

"I just… I can't."

"Why!"

"Please! Tell me what's wrong!"

"I can't right now!"

"Please! Why!?"

"Because I still love you! And right now… It's to much to be around you."

"Will… I… I… I broke up with Alan."

"What?"

"I thought you knew… But… Apparently, you didn't."

"Well… How did he take it?"

"Not to well… He had suspicions, but he never confronted me with them. He won't talk to me."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

"It kinda is."

"Look… I don't want to talk about this anymore… Will you please come with us?"

"I don't know…"

"Come on! I need some to complement me on my appearance who isn't a girl."

Will laughed.

"I guess…"

"Great!"

As soon as they walked back to Tia and Shyann, Chiron had arrived.

"Hi, Chiron." greeted Larissa.

"Larissa, Will. I see you changed your mind…" said Chiron.

"Yeah… Sorta."

"Nixie sent this package." replied Chiron, handing them a waterproof package.

"How?" asked Tia.

"Via hippocampus. According to Lyla that's how they get and send their mail."

"Oh… Well… I guess that works."

Larissa opened the carefully wrapped package. Inside was a silver box, with etched marks resembling Greek Atlantis designs.

As Larissa opened the box, she found a blue shell-shaped gem, adorned with small diamonds, hanging on a silver chain. There was also a note taped to the inside of the box.

"What does it say?" asked Shyann, curiously.

"It says,

'Dear Larissa,

sorry I couldn't stay. Congrats on finding Shyann, I hope you'll be able to help the next girl. She lives under the sea, sorry… Hecate took your map, and waterproofed it for you. I'll see you soon… Maybe.

Nixie'

And here's the map… Ugh… I guess we'll need hippocampi?" asked Larissa.

"Yes. That would be best. You should go to Percy. I am sure he can get you four some." suggested Chiron.

"Ok… And I think we'll also get some waterproof bags."

"That would also be best."

"Alright… Cya ,Chiron." said Larissa as she waved.
