It was only half an hour walk till they reached the gate. "Home sweet home..." Wrynn murmured sarcastically, Nico winked at her trying to get her to smile.

Chiron was already waiting in front of the big house.

"Took you all long enough." His voice sounded controlled but a bit of anger seeped through.

"Coullcus bull, ran out of bandages, can't move fast." Wrynn said as she walked passed him.

They all sat down in the conference room, all at the seat of their godly parent.

"So first of all, where the hell have you been Wrynn?"

He stopped holding back on his anger.

"Oh imprisoned for almost 5 years by lovely demigods of the old titans who tried to get me to resurrect a bus load of their parents, Chiron."

She spit the last word out.

Chiron took a deep breath. "It took you of all people almost 5 years to escape? I'm disappointed in you."

A shock went through the room, all stunned at chitons unhuman response.

Nico got up and slammed his fists on the table.

"Don't you dare talk like that?"

His voice was cold and controlled; his eyes shot flames and betrayed how mad he actually was.

Chiron didn't back down.

"They drugged me, and beside that they didn't leave much of me left after they had there fun convincing me to help them." Her face was emotionless, eyes blank.

He nodded, looked at Nico one last time and dismissed the group before walking out.

Leo shook his head. "How... Why?" He couldn't find the words.

"Don't be too hard on him, if I had been here a lot of lives wouldn't be lost, he cares about his heroes. He will turn around soon." She offered a smile but it didn't reach her eyes.

"I will take you to your cabin; you can freshen up and rest." Nico walked out of the room, Wrynn followed.

Outside the sun stood high and most campers where headed to get there lunch.

Stares came from all around them, Nico kept walking.

Wrynn grabbed his hand. "Slow down a bit please."

He nodded and glanced to her side.

"No not because if that, I just needed an excuse to hold your hand." She smiled and took his hand a bit harder.

The side of his mouth curled into a grin.

"Hmm, you could have just taken it, you know."

She laughed softly. "I know, but I like this better."

"So every god has a cabin now?"

Nico nodded, "Percy took care of that it was his favour of the gods."

Her cabin was black, with pillars on the sides; the door was rounded on top and had small carvings in it, as they walked in she saw a big bed in the middle with drapes on the sides. Left were a closet and a door leading to the bathroom, on the right some small cabinets and a few guitars?

"I guess dad put some extra touches into it eh?"

"Most of them do, I think he wanted to make you feel more at home."

He picked up a book that was lying on top of a cabinet.

"Can you show me?" He asked with his eyes fixed on the cover of the book in his hands."

She hesitated a bit before nodding.

A bit slower than normal she took off her boots and legging. Halfway into taking off her bandages she froze. She let out a small grunt. She felt Nico's hands move slow as he removed the bandages. She stood up and took of her bra.

She stood facing the wall, showing her back to Nico.

After a minute she felt his soft finger tips running over her back, tracing the old and newer scars.

He slowly turned her letting his eyes glide over her legs, side and chest, deep purple scars covered it, on her chest was one that stood out, just over her heart a long deep scar showed. His fingers floated over it, he pulled away and looked at her ribs, the wounds from earlier where now closed, but still raw and red. On her other side more similar scars ran across it. He looked up, wanting to look into her eyes but stopped, her neck had one long scar running horizontally.

"They... Slit your throat." His voice was a whisper. Flashbacks of earlier lives ran through his mind.

She took his hand and placed it onto her heart. "Still beating Nicolay. It might be a short time left, but I got back to you."

He swallowed, inhaling a sharp breath.

"I will never forgive them." He broke, his knees gave in. She followed him to her knees and took him into her arms. At first he cried in silence, but he wasn't able to hold it in and he let go.

Softly she stroked his hair, whispering into his ears that she loved him. After a while he sighed and pulled her closer. "4000 years and my heart still stand still when you tell me that."

"Orange camp shirts... This is a crime against fashion I swear." Wrynn looked in horror at her reflection.

Nico grinned. "It's so we are easy to see in the woods I guess."

"Hate it"

"Me to"

The second after they left the cabin eyes stared at them, people started talking to each other in hushed voices. "So that will guy wasn't lying. Great."

Wrynn sighed and kept walking.

"Still the separate table I see" she said as she sat down at her father's table, Nico nodded and walked to his table.

Wrynn ate alone, getting more annoyed about the stares she got, Nico shot warning glances towards them all.

She chuckled, his attitude, body language, and looks in his eyes where so fierce, it wasn't an act he really was like that, most people just never noticed, but with her he was gentle, sweet and still after all this time a bit shy.

At the end of dinner Chiron stood up calling for attention.

"My heroes, it is time to confirm your rumours, yes the two of the legend are among us, all these stories and fate are also true, but I want one thing to be very clear, there was a good reason why they couldn't offer help during our last trials of prophecy, it was impossible and I will have no one speak of it in a disdemeaning way. It is also true another prophecy is unfolding; details will be announced as soon as all the facts are clear, that is al, and tonight at the campfire no games will be held. Concur the flag tomorrow will begin at noon."

The sound of talking demigods filled the room once more.

Wrynn shook her head, "*like that's going to help*" she thought.

She felt Nico standing behind her, leaning against a pillar.

"Ready?"

"Hmm" nodding she got up.

They walked along the ends of camp.

"Not much time left, we have to deal with this problem in this lifetime, who knows how strong they will get if we wait."

Wrynn talked while letting her fingers glide through the branches above them.

"First priority is to locate them, find out there numbers and keep the camp safe. We might already be compromised at camp."

Nico looked up. "You think they already infiltrated the camp?"

She nodded.

"All the leaders where demigods from the most powerful titans, but there were also demigods of titans that are still mistaken for gods or who have left the gods. One boy that was guarding me was a son of Helios."

Nico sighed. "This gets bigger with every piece of information. We have to act fast."

"Hmm"

She kept on walking, not realising Nico had stopped.

She felt his hand grabbing her side. Looking back she saw him standing with his head down facing the ground. Taking a step back she grabbed the collar of his shirt. Feeling his other hand being placed on her other side she rested her forehead against his.

"Tell me about it Nico, it was vague but I did sense it. Tartarus..."

"That wasn't what's bothering me; I could manage Tartarus, the moving of the statue and even being imprisoned by a titan. But it's already the end of January, we barely have 2 months left it has never been this short before. It... Makes me so mad" he grinded his teeth.

A laugh made him look up.

"Nicolay, I'm supposed to be the sensitive one! You are taking my role!"

A few moments of silence. Nico blurted out in laughter. Wrynn smirked.

"Come one, let's go back." She pulled him along and both walked on.
