TT: Hades looks like McJagger in the movie...
HK: Okay?
TV: Enjoy the chapter!

Annabeth's POV

Percy grabbed my hand, I grabbed Tia's, Tia grabbed Zack's, Zack grabbed Tori's, and Tori grabbed Luke's. Once we all had a grip on each other, wind smashed against our faces as we swam at the speed of light. Just our heads and necks were in air.
We took the same route back to camp as we did coming. We all cheered when we finally reached our home: Camp Half-Blood.

Tia's POV

"Tia!" My sister Meghan and the rest of my cabin ran to me.
"GUYS!" I hugged them, and we screamed like he girly girls we are. And the rest were at their cabins.
Annabeth was hugging her favorite sister, Shelby. "Annabeth, I am disappointed in you. You forgot to bring me Kronos's head!" she laughed.
But most people were excited to see Luke. Asking him questions and stuff. What bugged me most: people were asking where Dylan was.
"Tia, where's Dylan?" they asked. I would just run to another group and talk. Aren't I so popular?

Tori's POV
My half-siblings were comforting me endlessly, encouraging me to move on, or saying how sorry they are.
They weren't helping my mood.
I was also chosen to light Shawn's funeral pyre. Not a happy thought.
Poseidon had retrieved his body from the wreckage of the ship. Instead of him being completely dry, he was soaked. That was proof he was dead. Did I need more proof?
Today was the funeral. I couldn't force myself to be there, so my cabin asked the Ares cabin to drag me there. Not a bad idea, but it was annoying.
I didn't bother dressing up, or even brushing my hair, so I was a mess. My eyes were red, and tears started streaking my face again. This may as well be called the worst day of my life.
I was dragged the stage. the crowd died down. A lot of the onlookers has tears in their eyes. Then I realized how popular he was at camp. At least I wasn't the only one feeling down.
I shakily held the torch, so I could light the pyre when I was done. I began saying my goodbyes. My goodbyes were mostly speaking for the whole camp, and it was short. I couldn't bring myself to write more, much less say it. But it was sweet. Some of the Aphrodite kids were crying, not much for him, but for the lost love...

He was t-the g-great-greatest friend I ever had, but he w-was m-more than that... I-I..." I couldn't bring myself to say it. I was about to light the pyre aflame, but something stopped me.
"No..." I whispered, but nobody could hear me.
"No! I won't light this shroud! He's not dead!" I found myself shouting. Confused, insane looks were cast on me. I shook the feeling off.
"Tori, as much as we hate to admit it, he's obviously dead!" someone shouted. I glared, and the voice backed off. I continued.
"I-I'm not going to let him stay dead any longer!" I couldn't believe what I was saying. "I'm doing the impossible! I'm going to bring him back! Without him, I wouldn't be able to live!" I shouted, determination overriding my fear and sorrow.
"Tori, I truly admire you're determination, but this is absolutely insane." Poseidon reasoned sadly. But in his eyes, I saw a look of pride. He believed I could do it.
"Lord Poseidon, I do not mean to offend you but there is a saying that 'The possible was once considered impossible.' I can do this! And I'm not doing this alone! Tia, Zack, and Percy... And Nico! Can you help me?" I asked.
"Hades yeah!" Tia screamed, jumping out of her seat. Zack rose too.
"Count me in!"
Percy jumped up, "If it's for Shawn, then yeah!"
Only Nico hesitated.
"I don't know... My dad would kill me!"
"Please Nico?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I'll get in trouble..." he looked away. I threw the torch down.
"Dude, don't mess with the pissed off me."
"You don't scare me."
"Nico di Angelo..."
"Fine!" he gave in. But at that very moment, Chiron returned.
"Victoria," I hardened my gaze when I heard my full first name, "You don't have permission for a quest! There is a war! You should be helping instead of trying to raise one of the many who has died!"
"Chiron, I don't think we told you exactly what happened... Shawn... Didn't die at war..." I admitted. I kinda lied about the titans coming back... "The truth is... Dylan... Killed him... He was working for the titans, who are back... And... They're using the war as a chance to take over Olympus..." I admitted slowly. Chiron's face turned red with anger.
"AND YOU NEVER TOLD US?"
"Sorry! But I had to! If I just came out clean and told you, you might think I was lying! And on the bright side... Tia killed Dylan." I laughed nervously. Everyone turned to look at Tia, who just smiled proudly and crossed her arms behind her head.
"I would not have!" Chiron's face now red with embarrassment. Uh huh, REALLY!
"Can we go on the quest or not?" I complained. Chiron began to shake his head, but the camp recalled a well known chant.
"We want a quest!...We want a quest!..."
"Campers, this is ridiculous!"
"WE WANNA QUEST! WE WANNA QUEST!" they chanted louder, the fire in the pit shot fifty feet high, replacing the purple flames with bright yellow, slowly turning red.
"Fine! Tori, you have chosen the quest companions! Go get a prophecy..." he muttered. We all cheered, everyone carried us on their shoulders towards the Big House. This was going to be interesting...

TT: Okay! What did you think?
