This is taking place after Jason Grace's death ( in The Burning Maze) and it is dealing with the 7's reaction to his death. I have been wondering how this would affect them and I don't want to wait till 2019 so I wrote this to help deal with it and hopefully with your anticipation too! And please review if you would like to see this story continue! :)

Apollo POV

Apollo was staring out the window, he was on his way to Camp Jupiter, he was thinking about all of the lives that were sacrificed and how many more were going to be sacrificed to defeat Caligula. With a coffin of a hero in the cargo, who sacrificed his life to save ours. I was more determined than ever to defeat Caligula. I was drowning in my guilt of his death. Jason had a life ahead of him, he had people who cared about him, a whole camp and many more. He saved so many lives and he dies. Because of me and Meg's mission.

Why do the good die young? These kids sacrificed their lives for the world and they are lucky if they survive. And us gods do nothing. Being a human has changed my thoughts on everything, this human brain of mine with emotions of sadness when a hero dies. Even all of this, there is one thing that stands out in my mind, something that Jason told me, one favor: Whatever happens, when you get back to Olympus, when you're a god again, remember. Remember what it's like to be a human.

Something stops my thinking, a voice was heard, it was a deep male voice and they were announcing,

"We will be arriving in about 5 minutes."

That is what broke me from my thoughts. I look to my right to see Meg sleeping and drool dripping onto her yellow leggings and her cat-eye glasses on the tip of her nose, Meg was a hard sleeper. I was going to wake her up but I decided not to because we had a long day and because I don't want to get kicked. Pro Tip: NEVER wake the Meg up when she is sleeping it will end up with you getting kicked, punched, scratched and their is a possibility of death.

Then all of a sudden we had some turbulence and that's what woke Meg up. She jumped in her seat and was ready to attack me and once she saw me she calmed down a little and asked me.

"What was that!", she asked somewhat alarmed.

"I'm guessing just a bit of turbulence", I replied, not that worried at all.

Then the deep male voice announced

"Sorry folks, just a bit of turbulence"

I looked out my window and saw plain fields down below and then I saw a two swirl of wind like their own mini tornadoes. First, he thought maybe his eyes were tricking him and then he realizes. What those two tornado things were Anemoi Thuellai, storm spirits.

He looked at Meg and said

" Meg, we got to get off this ship"

" Why?" she said confused

" There are some storm spirits, who do not look too friendly." he replied, looking around for an exit.

" What are storm spirits?", she asked.

"Just like the name refers, Anemoi Thuellai in Greek, Venti in Latin. All I remember is that their sort of hard to kill." Great I remember their name in Greek and Latin but I don't know how to kill them. That information was useless, every monster is sort of hard to kill.

We got out of are seats. Which now that I think of it probably wasn't the smartest idea when there was turbulence. Then, the entire plane shook and I fell flat on my butt, while Meg stood standing. Then again, the announcer spoke again

" Turbulence is bad, please buckle in your s-" and it was cut off.

Meg and I ran to the front of the plane and nobody was there. The Pilot and the Co-Pilot were gone. And that's when I thought we were going to die. And I was honestly going to stand there and wait for my death. Then, I thought of the coffin in the cargo, Jason's body. I wasn't going to let this plane explode on impact and destroy everything and everyone on it. Jason was going to get a proper burial.

While I was sort of lost in thought, Meg ran and sat in the pilot's seat.

"Meg, what are you doing?" I asked

" What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to save us." she answered

"Meg, you're a child of Demeter, the sky is like the farthest thing related to the ground. If anything, I should be trying to fly it, I mean how hard could it be from flying the sun chariot." I said.

"Well, first of all, I'm also I child of Demeter who is good in combat and second it doesn't look like your doing anything to save us, LESTER PAPADOPOULOS. NOW, SHUT UP!" she said

Then, my mouth shut and I couldn't say anything if I wanted to. All of a sudden, alarms were ringing very loudly and Meg said

" Go check what's the problem"

And as ordered I went.

I looked around and saw the emergency door opening slowly and threw the little window, I saw two tornadoes outside. I ran back to Meg and said

"MEG! How are you with trying to save the plane. There are some angry storm spirits looking for a mortal teenager with acne and flab and a 12-year-old girl with cat-eye glasses."

"I can't save the plane, we have to get off" she said

"And how do you plan on getting off!" I asked.

Then, my eyes widened, " WE'RE JUMPING OFF THE PLANE! ARE YOU CRAZY! WE ARE STILL THOUSANDS OF FEET HIGH UP!"

"That's the only way to get off! Plus there are probably some parachutes so it won't completely lead us to death" she replied

Then, we started heading for the cargo area, there was suddenly a burst of wind and that's when I saw the emergency exit completely open. Everything was getting sucked out of the plane and Meg and I ran as fast as we could to the cargo area. We shut the door behind us and luckily there were some boxes that we stacked against the door. We looked around there was the coffin of Jason in the middle and on the wall there were 6 parachutes in total. Meg grabbed 2 gave one to me and kept the other.

"What are we going to do with Jason?" I asked.

"We leave him, we can't do anything about that" she replied

"But we can't! We said we would bring Jason to Camp Jupiter and I'm not failing Jason, not again." I said

I got the 4 parachutes from the wall and began attaching them to the corners. Meg didn't try to stop me in any way, she just stood there staring.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yeah." She replied.

I looked for a button to open the hatch and right next to the door that we came thru there was a red button that said "OPEN" on top. I pressed the button and I heard starting to open. I went to stand next to Meg and I began to hear rattling from the door. The hatch was already more than half way open and that's when Meg and I started to push the coffin. We were almost there and the door just burst open revealing the two storm spirits. I pushed even harder to push the coffin off. Then, it just went floating down nicely. There was no other reason to wait, except now it seems terrifying. Meg just pushed me off and looked behind one last time to see the storm spirits so close to us.
