Krotos stepped out of the Hera Cabin with his head down in shame and sorrow, he didn't want to tell Cyrus but he knew he had to.
"Hey Krotos!" Cyrus called as he and the others ran over to Krotos who was heading to the beach.
"Oh. Uh hey Cyrus." Krotos said and looked up but didn't meet Cyrus' eyes.
"What's wrong?" Cyrus asked, clearly knowing that something was bothering Krotos.
Krotos let out a shaky breath, he didn't want Cyrus to wonder where Leon was and drag him on.
"Leon's been kidnapped."
"What?"
"I let Leon be kidnapped!" Krotos said clenching his hands, Cyrus was staring at Krotos and was caught off guard at what he had said. But soon his emotions changed from confusion to anger, he clenched his hands also and blood dripped onto the ground.
"I'll kill you!" Cyrus yelled and tackled Krotos to the ground, punching him in the face with shocks of electricity burning through Krotos.
"Cyrus you're killing him!" Alexander said and grabbed Cyrus but was blasted back by a surge of energy. Dallan tried to pull Cyrus off to but was blasted back also.
Blood was covering Krotos' face and his vision was getting blurry, all he could see was Cyrus' angry face with tears streaming down his face and onto Krotos.
Krotos lifted up his arms with what little strength he had and wrapped them around Cyrus, giving him a hug. He knew that Cyrus was having mixed feelings and his emotions were going everywhere.
Cyrus was crying, he never liked to show his emotions but for someone he cared about being kidnapped he couldn't hold back. No matter what people thought of him, he was breaking inside.
"I'm sorry Cyrus, I didn't mean to." Krotos said as the two were sitting on the beach after Krotos explained to him what happened in the cabin and Krotos' face was bandaged up, showing only his eyes and mouth.
"No, it's alright. . . I-I." Cyrus stuttered and stared out at the water glistening in the midday sun.
Krotos had nothing more to say, he and Cyrus just sat in silence until a group of Ares boys came over to the two and started to pick on them.
"Hey boys look who it is, Cry baby and his friend the stick!" A huge Ares boy said and the group laughed, one of them knocked over Cyrus into the water.
"Cut it out you four, you're already cursed with being annoying because of your father. You don't have to take it out on people who are going through a rough time." Krotos said and rose to his feet.
"Okay Oprah, what are you going to do about?" The huge Ares boy said and stepped up to Krotos and glared down at him.
"I think I'll do this!" Krotos grabbed the Ares boys face and lifted him up into the air, seeing as the Ares boy must've weighed twice Krotos' weight it would be nearly impossible for him to pick up the boy. But Krotos didn't know where he had the strength coming from.
His eyes flashed a bright yellow color and he started to crush the Ares boys head, the Ares boy let out a yell in pain and the other Ares boys watched in horror.
Cyrus grabbed Krotos' arm and threw it back, letting the Ares boy free with a slightly crushed face. The group ran off in fear of Krotos.
"Krotos, what were you doing back there?" Cyrus asked and Krotos stared at his hand in fear.
"I-I don't know. I-I just had the feeling to k-kill him, h-he was a lesser being then me-"
"What do you mean a lesser being. You're starting to talk like some kind of God." Cyrus said, Krotos was starting to doubt if he really was a demigod or if he might even be a god.
The other demigods saw the two and ran over to them, Skyler was staring at Krotos with a fear in her eyes.
"Krotos what's wrong?" She asked and stepped forward so she was standing right in front of him.
"I don't know. . . I can't remember anything that would make me act like I did, I-I don't want to hurt you guys." Krotos said and turned to flee from them, but Skyler grabbed his arm to stop him.
"You won't hurt us Krotos, we trust you."
"That's why I don't want to hurt you." Krotos said and ran off down the beach, Skyler tried to run after him but Cyrus stopped her.
"You shouldn't follow him. He's not who he was when we first met him." Cyrus said and Skyler watched as Krotos ran off towards the lagoons and the Naiad pools.
Krotos sat down on a rock with his head in his hands, he didn't know what he was becoming and he didn't want his memories to return.
"What's wrong?" He heard a feminine voice and looked up, only to see nothing.
"If you're mocking me I insist you stop." Krotos said and continued to look around but he couldn't see anyone, he stood up and was starting to get angry.
"I'm sitting in front of you, but no one can see me. Only a select few." The voice said and Krotos squinted his eyes, only to see for a split second a figure but then it vanished.
"Could you at least give me the pleasure of knowing your name?" Krotos asked, sitting back down.
"I am Raidne, a Siren who was cursed by Aphrodite for being more beautiful than her and praised by men for my beauty." The Siren said, Krotos was filled with fear when he heard she was a siren but the fear soon passed.
"If you're a Siren, then how come you are here?"
"I do not wish to use my Siren Song to lure men to their deaths, though many centuries ago I enjoyed such an act like my sisters. So I came here to camp to be surrounded by Demigods who were happy and joyful, something I rarely saw out at sea." Raidne said, if she was visible Krotos knew she would be looking ashamed.
"Even though I cannot see you, I know that you are a different person then you were in the past." Krotos took a second to think, then asked a question out of the blue.
"You wouldn't happen to know anything about a Son of Hades being kidnapped. . . Would you?"
"I am sorry. But I know no such thing, though if it would help I could give you something I have kept for many years." What seemed like something appearing from no where, a beautiful sea shell was floating in mid air. It was clear and smooth, almost like a mirror.
"This is a mirror that looks into the past, present or future. Depending on what is important at the moment, but please use it wisely. For it only has 5 uses before it will turn black and crack." Raidne said and Krotos took the mirror.
"Thank you Raidne, you're a good person." Krotos said and slipped the mirror into his pocket, he turned to leave but a thought struck him.
He picked up a small piece of glass that had been beaten by the waves and was smooth and breathed on it, it grew and curved into a thick bracelet that gave off a small glow.
"Raidne, I want you to put this on." Krotos said and held it out, he felt the bracelet shake and helped slip it onto Raidne's wrist. Within a few seconds she started to appear.
When she was fully visible Krotos could finally see what she really looked like, she wore a long light blue Greek style dress with gold trim and brown sandals. Her hair was red and braided with silver flowers and her eyes were a bright shade of green with light skin.
"C-Can you see me?" She asked and Krotos gave a nod, a smile spread across her face showing her bright white teeth and she gave Krotos a hug.
"Oh thank you so much! I will be forever indebted to you Lord Krotos." Raidne said as she released the hug, though what she called Krotos struck him.
"Lord Krotos?"
"O-Oh. I didn't know, just forget I said anything. But anyways I want to go meet all the campers!" Raidne said and grabbed Krotos' wrist and pulled him along, as they approached the beach the group was sitting on the sand staring out at the water.
"Seems like we get stranger people everyday." Reiner said as they saw Krotos and Raidne run over to them, Krotos gave a quick explanation and then told them he was sorry.
"It's no problem. But how about we see if that mirror of yours can show us where Leon is." Cyrus asked and Krotos nodded, he pulled out the mirror and waved his hand over it.
From what they could see, it was in some sort of cave. But the cave was decorated like a room with collums and curtains, tied to the wall was Leon wearing a classic white Greek toga.
"Let me go!" His voice cried out and echoed through the cave, a few feminine laughs echoed back at him and Raidne gave a small jump as a figure came into view.
"Leon Leon, you know that we cannot let you leave this cave. Our Mistress had important things planned for you, and we're sick of all your wining." The girl said and touched Leon's forehead, instantly he fell asleep and limp and they untied him and placed him on a solid slab of marble.
The mirror went blank and Krotos slipped it back into his pocket, everyone turned to Raidne and wanted to know why she jumped.
"T-That was my oldest sister Aglaope, she's the most powerful Siren and-and I hope she didn't do what I think she just did." Raidne said and Cyrus stepped in front of the group and grabbed her shoulders.
"What did she do to Leon."
"If I think she did it. She put him in a silent sleep, he can't hear or dream and he's frozen. A-A-And if she awakes him with her Siren Song t-then he'll do whatever she says." Raidne said and Cyrus looked like he was about to hit her, but he let her go and walked away towards the cabins.
"Do you know where the cave is." Alexander asked.
"Y-yes, I can take you all there but i-it will be dangerous."
"I don't mind dangerous." Skyler said and Dallan nodded.
"When do we leave." Krotos asked.
"Tonight.". . .
