Hey guys, so I was inspired to write this story when I heard that it was colder in Winnipeg than on the surface of Mars. (SO happy I don't live there right now) hope you like it!

Narrators POV

Percy Jackson walked along the long snowy path. To his right stood Jason Grace, looking stony faced and his blond hair slick with sweat. To his left Leo Valdez, his cherubic face looking babyish as ever. The three were on a quest to see what was going on around the Canadian area. Strange happenings had been happening in Winnipeg; stop and start floods, getting 30 degree weather in the middle of the winter and worst of all, a certain goddess of love was seen wandering around down town. So here the three boys were, venturing off into the freezing city that was, Winnipeg.

"Man, I wish that the 30 degree weather was going on right now, it's flipping freezing here," Exclaimed Leo, his teeth chattering and his body shivering.

"We're almost there, calm yourself," Replied Percy, but even his voice was wavered by the coldness. However, just as Percy thought, a small house came into view, followed by a "Tim Horton's." Figures.

"Great, a restaurant, let's go in and warm up," Suggested Jason, who's fingertips were red with frostbite. So, the three demigods entered the Canadian franchise and bought themselves some hot chocolate and a twelve pack of "Timbits." (For people who don't live in Canada, Timbits are doughnuts, but in little balls.)

"So what's our game plan going to be? Go to downtown and punch Aphrodite in the face?" Joked Leo. The restaurant rumbled for a quick second, but then stopped. Jason and Percy looked at each other, obviously worried.

"Be careful Leo, we don't want to become doves do we?" Asked Jason, giving Leo a look that said, 'If you do that again I'll punch YOU in the face.' Percy gave an apologising look to Leo before announcing their plan.

"So I think that we should head downtown and well ya, I guess Leo has a point," Percy implied, chuckling.

"YEAHHHH, I KNEW THAT WAS THE WAY TO DO IT!" Shouted Leo, attracting the attention of a very confused looking woman in a huge winter parka. The parka had a greenish, goldish tint to it and every now and then when she sat in the right position, it reflected the light from the light bulb and right into Jason's eyes. She had dark brown hair and blazing blue eyes. She was quite pretty, Percy had to admit, but there was something off about her… Suddenly, the woman erupted out of her seat and what had once been a parka was now a tight fitted bodysuit. It perfectly showcased her left donkey leg and her right mechanical leg. Her hair burst into flames and she pounced at Percy. However, seconds before her sharp talons connected with the sea prince's chest, he uncapped his ballpoint pen, which was now a long golden sword, which he liked to call, Riptide. He slashed at the empousai while she tried to claw Percy's face off. Meanwhile, Jason and Leo were sneaking up behind her; Jason had his sword in his hand and was wearing a murderous look on his face. Leo was holding a hammer, which he presumably had gotten out of his magic tool belt and was smiling like an idiot. The empousai lashed at Percy's face once more before she started to say something.

"Danger awaits Percy Jackson," She spoke. "Aphrodite awaits you, she hopes to make things… interesting, as she says."

"How would you know?" Percy screamed.

"Oh word gets around here in Canada, you would not believe how much time people spend indoors here it-" The monster was cut off by Jason turning her into dust by thrusting his sword into her back. Both Leo and Percy gave him a look.

"What? She was annoying me," Mumbled Jason.

"No, it's not that, it's that well, you're glowing," Stuttered Leo. Sure enough, Jason was glowing an off shade of pink, which seemed to ooze off mostly in the northbound direction.

"You think it's a sign?" Asked Jason.

"People don't just randomly start glowing pink man, I think it's a sign," Replied Percy.

"Point taken, but what does it mean?" Asked the son of Jupiter.

"Well the fog is leading off to that direction, so I'm going to say, lets go that way," Announced Leo with a smirk.
