"What can I do to protect them?" I asked an old woman.

The woman smiled and started to shimmer. I took a few steps back and stared.

I thought, "What in the world?"

"My darling Skylar, it's an easy answer." the goddess said.

I bowed, "Queen Hera, it's an honor to meet you."

She is dressed in the colors of a peacock. She was adorned with priceless jewels. I stared and then looked down and messed with my clothes. My ripped Camp Half-Blood shirt, that showed my tattoo and monster dust covered my jeans and beaten up shoes. The only jewelry I wear is my bead necklace from camp and a promise ring.

"Queen Hera, I don't mean to overstep my boundaries but I don't understand what you mean and why you are helping me. If I don't know where they are, how could you?"

Queen Hera suddenly started to laugh.
