Hullo lovelies!

Wow, quick response! Yep, I'm a really liking writing this. I just want to let you know that DALEY BUTTONS IS MY PEN NAME AS WELL AS A CHARACTER I INVENTED. WE ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE! Just thought I'd clear that up.

A tout a l'heure!

"Excuse me? Where am I?" Leo Valdez asked. A girl with ray bans and two swords of glass and ice was sitting, tending a fire. He couldn't see her eyes through the tinted lenses and she released the power of a Demigod.

"You're in my house. That was a nasty fall that you took. How did you fall off that badass ship of yours?"

"Oh, well my magical sphere of power ejected me off the ship. It's named the Argo II. They're probably looking for my body."

"Yeah, I saw them flying around the area. This little pale kid with an aviator jacket was moping around. He your boyfriend?"

"No! He's a friend, but he's a son of Hades. He can sense death, he probably sensed that I wasn't dead or something."

"Oh and this tall blonde superman like guy was strolling around the area. He didn't look terribly happy."

"Well, this would officially be the third person we lost."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, two powerful Demigod friends of ours fell into Tartarus a week back."

"Ah, the magical signatures have been a little screwy lately."

"That isn't the only thing. Everyone is falling apart without them."

"That sucks."

"I don't understand why we need to get to Epirus with that stupid statue of ours."

"Wait, where did they fall in?"

"It was this parking garage in Rome…."

"Seriously? You have the Athena Pantheons!"

"Yeah. What's the big deal?"

She got up and ran to the other die of the cave and tore down a sheet. Pictures and markers and dots were everywhere all over a map of Rome. There was even a sketch of Arachne.

"I'm a child of Athena! I've been tracking down where it is for years! That's why all the magic has spiked! Oh, I'm such an idiot!"

"Um, what's your name?"

"I should ask you the same."

"Leo Valdez, Son of Hephaestus, super size mcshizzle."

"You said that when you were semi-conscious."

"Well, I am."

"Okay. I'm Daley Buttons, daughter of Athena, and someone you really don't want to eff around with."
