Son of Demeter: Yeah, I know it was a lot of dialogue; but I'm going to switch to first person this chapter and expect more narration and less talking.

Orcus` POV
Argus gave me and Danae backpacks, basic celestial bronze swords, $50 cash, and some camp half blood clothes. Although me and Danae had some issues I figured this would be an easy quest considering we were already on the eastern part of long island and we only had about 15 miles to go before we reached "The End" which is the most eastern part of long island and is famous for its light house.
"What should we do now?" Danae asked
"Easy, we get on a train and go straight to the end", I replied
Within twenty minutes we were on the train and just as I thought it was going to be your average boring train ride; Danae said, "Do you really like me?"
Gods, how am I supposed to answer that? I sent up a prayer to Aphrodite and said, "Yes I do"
"Okay that's all I wanted to know"
"Wait that's it, you're not going to say you feel the same way about me or anything like that?"
"I'm sorry but you tried to kill me because I beat you in sword fight"
"But you told Mr. D you knew I wouldn't actually kill you"
"Please, I only told him that because I felt bad for you, the truth is I pity you"
The only thing I was aware of after that was a burning anger and the need to kill someoneā¦.anyone. And then the train stopped abruptly, bringing me back into control. We got off the train and started heading towards the beach. Once we got there I began to cast my mind out trying to find the dead. I realized that a large group of them were right under our feet so I began to chant in ancient Greek willing them back to life. "Is that your friend Aleron?" Danae asked
I was still mad at her for our conversation on the train so I ignored her and continued chanting until suddenly there was a great cracking noise and fifty dead body's rose from the ground, It was the Argonauts. I was extremely excited. So exited, that I didn't turn around until I heard a scream. When I did I was staring at my good friend Aleron, son of Zeus, standing over the lifeless body of Danae. I went berserk. I heard myself yell 'Grab Him' saw fifty warriors rush forward and grab Aleron who just stood there laughing. Within seconds Hercules had him in a full nelson and Atalanta had her bow aimed at him. I jumped forward and pummeled him for the better part of ten minutes; after I was done he had two black eyes, a broken arm, and three cracked ribs. He was still laughing. I was pissed. "It's not just me", He said, "Deo was in on it too, as were Chiron, Mr. D, the rest of camp and the entire Olympian Council". Just as I was about to break his neck he disappeared, in his place was an eagle which took off and flew away.
