"Please," Hecate said.

Hazel looked up in surprise. Hecate would never plead with her. She never thought Hecate would fall to that level of desperation. Hecate's eyes were filled with desperation. Even the most heartless hell hound could not refuse what Hecate was looking for.

Reyna and Frank walked by. Hazel expected them to turn and say hi, but they didn't. They didn't even look at her.

"Why did they just ignore me?" Hazel asked, almost avoiding the please.

"I'm using the mist to hide us. What I need you to do is extremely important and extremely secret," Hecate informed.

"What is it?" Hazel looked back at her.

"I can only tell you if you agree, my dear," Hecate promised.

Hazel shifted her weight. Hecate must really need her help and trust her to do this. How could Hazel turn her down?

"Fine," Hazel agreed. "I'll do it, but on one condition."

"What is it?" Hecate laughed, surprised Hazel was trying negotiate.

"Somebody gets to help me," Hazel demanded.

"Fine, but I get to pick," Hecate agreed.

"That's not fair!" Hazel complained.

"That's the thing, I'm not fair." Hecate informed. "Anyway, I need you to go to England. There is a hidden place called the Ministry of Magic. I need you to find the Minister and stop her fro, her project."

"The what?" Hazel questioned.

Hecate huffed. "You see, over the centuries, my blood ran through my children's descendants. Sometimes, magic appeared in a child. Those were called Witches and Wizards. Soon they multiplies and went into hiding making their own magical society. Nobody knew where the magic came from, just that they had it. Now the Minister, Hermione Granger, wants to know where it came from. She is have history torn apart and examined with time turners and historians. I'm doing my best to delay her. You must stop her!"

Hazel's jaw dropped. She took a few minutes to take in all the information. She realized she was never told who she could take with her.

"Who gets to join me," Hazel panicked.

"Oh! Right, Nico di Angelo." Hecate said. "Let me just..."

Hecate opened a crossroads. Each with Nico entering their little "mist dome". One involved him simply walking in. The second involved him tripping over a tree root and falling in. The third involved him running in to avoid Will who was trying to get him to eat.

Nico noticed the tree root and simply stepped over it, eliminating a pathway. He paid no mind to Will's shouting, eliminating another pathway. He simply walked in.

Nico looked up and squinted. "This doesn't look like Camp Half-Blood."

Hecate explained everything to Hazel and told them where the Ministry was. Nico scowled. He want too happy about being dragged into a quest. Hecate wished them luck and then left, taking her dome with her. Their sudden reappearance startled a few demigods, but none were too concerned.

"Well, we have a magical, mortal, Minister to stop. Better get moving," Nico stated.
