Joshua P.O.V

The best thing about being 21 hundred is that you don't get surprised often. I was training my apprentice, Lucy. She was two days away from getting her tattoos. Being a druid, I could sense the earth; so I wasn't surprised when The Morrigan came up behind me. As soon as I and my apprentice saw/sensed her, we dropped to one knee. I had pledged my life to her and in return, she made me Unaging. I don't say immortal because I can still die in combat. She walked in front of me and addressed me. She scared me and she knew it. That was just the way she liked it.

"I sense Cold Iron on you and your apprentice. Why?" I replied without looking up.

"Mistress. I meant no offense; It's just that I me and my attache have been attacked by unprovoked fairies and the attacks have been increasing in ferocity for the past month. These were simply for personal defense." She smiled and nodded, satisfied with my answer. I looked over at Lucy. She was shaking, hoping The Morrigan wouldn't notice.

"I have a mission for you, oh worthy disciple. In another plane there are a group of children that wish to harm Gaea. They are god born with powerful magic. You also have incentive to kill them." She stopped, waiting for me to ask what the incentive was.

"What would that be?" I asked, doing exactly what she wanted. She smiled and leaned down to whisper in my ear.

"They are Greek." I inhaled sharply and drew a dagger from a sheath on my side. I placed it over my chest as I stood up slowly, my eyes burning with anger. The Morrigan stood up and smiled at me. I could see my apprentice behind her staring at me in shock and fear. I Ignored her and addressed The Morrigan.

"The Greek gods have taken my family. Now I will take theirs. Thank you Morrigan. I will carry out my task with swiftness and determination. I will let nothing stop my quest." Morrigan smiled as her eyes glowed red.

"Gooood." She purred. She literally purred. My apprentice rised and asked The Morrigan a question.

"Am I allowed to come with my master?" The Morrigan nodded, not needing to speak. The Morrigan gave us two bags that she got out of nowhere. Mine was green, my favorite color, and Lucy's was yellow. I looked inside to find rations and clothing. There was also my ipod with headphones. I didn't ask how she knew about this. Some things are better left unsaid. The Morrigan reached behind her and gave me a sword inside of a scabbard.

"This is a Fae sword. It's supposed to be a copy of Fragara. Except that Govnu didn't remember the binding that made the sword able to cut through any armor. The best he could do was get the wind and answering wind bindings." I nodded and took the sword.

"I'll name it apántisi avémou." The Morrigan raised an eyebrow at the Greek name.

"I will make you a portal to the plane." Morrigan said. She said a few words in a language dead long before i was born, and made a swiping motion with her arm. A light opened up where she struck and expanded until it was an oval of light.

"This will take you where you need to go. Be careful. When you step through the portal, you will likely be knocked unconscious." Morrigan warned. I nodded, with a look of determination on my face. I beckoned to Lucy. I stepped through the portal. The Morrigan is not one to exaggerate, but gods below! The pain was almost unbearable. The last thing I remember before passing out was landing on a ship. I could hear yelling and lots of footsteps. Then it all went to black.

We were sailing in the Male Nostrum and it was my turn for watch. I got the feeling something was wrong; so I went to the front of the ship just in time to see a portal close and an unconscious man and woman fall to the deck.

"GUYS! GET OUT HERE!" I yelled as loud as I could to wake everyone up. Everyone came out as fast as they could, Coach Hedge included.

"Oh my god! Who are they?" Piper asked.

"I don't know, but we should tie them up in case they are siding with Gaea or possessed." Annabeth suggested. Coach Hedge seemed to have recognition in his eyes. He walked over to the man and got on his knees.

"Joshua?" I heard him whisper. "You are alive?" He then noticed something on his right arm. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Then he regained his composure and stood up. He noticed all eyes were on him and he seemed nervous.

"I agree." He said at last. "When he wakes up, I will interrogate him and the woman." He had a look that said 'question me and you die' so we didn't. A couple of hours later, we had both of them in the same room tied down to a couple of chairs. Coach was sitting in a chair across from them eerily silent. Normally, he would be complaining that he hasn't been able to hit anything yet. The rest of us were behind one way glass. Suddenly the man woke up followed almost immediately by the woman.

Normally when you get teleported onto a ship of unknown origin you get slapped awake and yelled at to identify yourself. That is not what happened. At all. The first thing I noticed was that a satyr was siting in front of me and my apprentice. The second was that I almost recognized him.

"Joshua? Are you alright?" The Satyr asked. I knew that voice. My jaw dropped.

"Hedge? I thought you died in the crusades!" I yelled with joy. Hedge cut my bonds and I stood up. We grabbed forearms like we used to when being a pagan wasn't hated.

"You sneaky son of a bitch!" I yelled. "How did you get away?" He laughed.

"Let's just say I have some Jewish blood on my hands." He said candidly. At this I laughed.

"How did you get away?" Hedge asked.

"The Dew A Ha Te Danon hid me." I said. "It was the Morrigan that sent me here." I said with a smile. Hedge frowned.

"So you went through with it? And you swore your allegiance to The Morrigan?"

"Yep! And I'm also training an apprentice." I took out the knife I always carry in my back pocket and cut Lucy's bonds. She stood up, bowed, and shook Hedge's hand.

"Hedge, this is Lucy. Lucy, Hedge." They nodded to each other and I continued.

"Now, are you going introduce your powerhouses in the back? Or am I going to have to guess?" When I swore my allegiance to The Morrigan, she gave me permanent ability to see through glamor and see things in the magical spectrum. I could change it at will however. Hedge paled. He started to whisper to me.

"You don't want to see them. Half of them are Greek." I smiled evilly. I slowly drew a dagger.

"Do they happen to be impeding the progress of Gaea?" He gulped and shook his head no. My smile widened.

"It's good to know you still protect your charges." With that I slit his throat.
