Chapter 1 (Rosamynd)

Will you do it for me, Honey? Rosamynd gritted her teeth, battling the aching stitch on her side. You have to get it there... promise me. It's too important of an issue to ignore. You must warn them.

I will, dad. I promise. I'll do my duty.

Rosamynd ran, even as her legs were shaking. She struggled for air, looking for the nearest bus to Long Island. Where is that bus terminus? I studied the map before I left. This is stupid. The mortal world is so confusing. She caught sight of a bus stop. About time. I hope this is the right one.

Rosamynd leapt up the last step, and was surprised to see a bus stand with eight mortals looking strangely at her. Trying not the smell that horrible odor, she felt her cheeks boil up as she nervously went to the nearest man to ask where this bus was going to.

"This bus? Why would you want to go on this bus?"

Taken back by surprise, Rosamynd pondered a simple "What do you mean?" which came out in a little whisper.

"I said, why would you want to go on this bus, Rosamynd Summers?"

Rosamynd Summers. Her name. Nobody called her Rosamynd Summers except for those who knew her being a goddess. Nobody but her friends- and enemies.

Monsters.

But this was too early to be found- her scent couldn't be that easy to find? Could it?

As Rosamynd slowly reached for her dagger coiled upon her waist, she felt the rest of the demons slowly approach her, cornering her. Only one human stood oblivious to what was happening, blocked by the mist. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw the rest of the demons change into scorpions, lions, beasts of all kinds. She changed her glance to the once a nice looking man, now a Minotaur grinning at her.

"I am here to avenge my FATHER!" As soon as he finished growling, Rosamynd took a lunge at him with her dagger, spraying golden blood all over the ground. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned around gratefully, in hope for help- but all she saw was the face of a scorpion. Just as the Scorpion dude was about to put a claw in her guts, she rolled over to the side. Vines started sprouting all over the other beast, tangling them into each other.

"When Theseus murdered my father, I knew at once I had to get my revenge and murder people of Theseus kind as well. So I started killing puny godlings like you" Alexandros roared, charging forward slicing her with his claws.

"Watch out!"

Rosamynd quickly sidestepped out of the way, focusing on the vines tangled around his legs. She instantly sliced the Minotaur on the chest, creating a deep cut, buying her some time. Wondering where the voice was from, she turned around to be greeted by Adrian, another godling. Rosamynd squinted upwards,catching a glimpse of Adrian's golden hair in the sunlight, his green eyes glinted with adrenaline.

"Hi Adria-"

"Watch out, Rosie!"

Rosamynd spun around to come face to stomach to the Minotaur.

"Think you can fool me, eh? You can't kill me by putting a sword in me, puny god. I am ALEXANDROS- ALEXANDROS THE GREAT!" The last few words came out in a shout, spraying spit into her face.

"Gross!" Rosamynd shrieked, glaring at Alexandros. She closed her eyes- in, out. In, out.

She charged forward and stuck her dagger into his stomach but it barely sunk into his flesh. She quickly yanked it out and dodged his swing. Concentrating to keep the vines wrapped around his ankles and shins. She kept trying to stab the Minotaur but Alexandros kept batting her away. She decided it was no use, she wasn't any good at combat fighting She concentrated, looking into herself and channeling her energy from nature around her. Her eyes shot open and a great cavern opened up underneath Alexandros. Some "great" monster.

Rosamynd turned around, impressed to see that while she was fighting Alexandros, Adrian had fought off the rest of the monsters, leaving most of them either dissolving into dust, or just gone. Once again she channelled her energy. Above the Minotaur, a massive tree dropped onto the hole. The monster shrieked and dissolved into dust.

"Yay!" She exclaimed, sharing a high-five with Adrian. This wasn't the first time she had fought a monster- she had fought many. But every time she won a fought, she would feel like the most powerful person.

"And still don't have a hair out of place" Adrian said.

"Thanks!"

"I was talking about myself."

"Jerk" Rosamynd as she playfully punched him on his arm. Grimacing, she tucked the stray strands of auburn hair from her face. "How did you know I was here anyway?"

"I didn't," Adrian shook his head. "I was heading towards Camp Half-Blood when I heard you - Which reminds me; you sure like screaming your head off." he smirked.

"Shut up," Rosamynd rolled her eyes, her pale face was slowly growing redder with each passing second.

"Just saying!" Adrian laughed. " So where you headed off to?"

"I'm actually going to Camp Half-Blood as well" She replied, as Adrian tucked his swords into his sheaths. "Just running a quick but important errand for father"

"Oh- so you're a messenger now?" Adrian asked curiously, keeping an eye out for other monsters.

"No, not really, father trusts me to deliver this top secret message!"

"Top secret, eh?"

"I don't know, okay? Gods!"

"Okay, okay." Adrian said, putting his hands up in a surrendering way. "Let's go on the bus, okay? That's how you're getting there right?"

"Yeah - were you about to walk there?" Adrian nodded "What's wrong with you?" Rosamynd said, laughing.

"Nothing. Just working those muscles" He said, showing her his biceps.

"What muscles?" Rosamynd joked.

"Hey-" Adrian started to say, but was cut of by the bus arriving. "Look- here's the bus coming now, let's get on, okay?"

"Sure."

As soon as they boarded the bus, Rosamynd whipped out her phone and called Lysandra, another godling. Usually phones were not allowed with godlings, but each godling had a phone for emergencies. As she talked, Adrian remained relatively quiet throughout the rest of the bus ride. They got off at the bottom of Camp Half-Blood Hill, an normal hill with nothing at the top in the sight of a human's eye. They thanked the driver, and got off the bus. As they got off, they scanned the area quickly, but there were no signs of monsters or mortals. No sign of any living thing in fact. There seemed to be a ton of noise coming from further away, nearer to the camp though.

As they walked up the hill in silent, Adrian mumbled something.

"What?"

"I said, what's the message Hermes asked you to send?" still quiet, but loud enough for her to hear.

"I honestly don't know" He glanced at her a questioning glance "Really- I don't! You heard me before, it's Top Secret!"

"Then how come your dad doesn't trust you with the message- why didn't he tell you?"

"I don't know!" she said again, for the millionth time. "He said he'll tell me when I go to Chiron- I guess he thinks either i'm not ready for the message, or maybe I might react strange if I hear the message now- I don't know. But all I know is that, he only trusts me to deliver it, he never said anything about reading the message or knowing what's its contents are. "

"Do you at least know what it's about?"

"Not at all, now let it go!" Suddenly, she was strangled by a hug.

"LYSANDRA!" Adrian and Rosamynd exclaimed in unison. Lysandra laughed, soon joined by them. She tossed her dirty-blonde hair aside, and smiled brightly at Rosamynd and Adrian.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" Lys asked, digging through her bag.

"Well-" Started Rosamynd, before Adrian cut her off.

"Rosamyndhastodeliveramessage fromherdadandImetheralongthe wayandIreallyreallyNEEDTOPEE !" Adrian rushed, jumping up and down.

"Whoa, whoa whoa- Slow down! So Rosamynd's dad sent you message to give here, and - what? Why do I smell monster scent- have you two been fighting a monster lately?"

"Yes! Thats how Adrian found me- I was fighting the monster, and he came and helped."

"I NEED TO PEE!"

"You're a boy, just pee anywhere you'd like, just not anywhere near us!" Rosamynd said, turning to Adrian.

"Fine" He left the two girls gossiping to each other as he made his way towards the forest, not once thinking about the consequences.
