Okay, admit, this and the last chapter weren't the best chapters I have written. But I would still like some reviews. I'm aiming for at least 3.

I'm just going to say that Nico knows Anubis (maybe I'll do a oneshot on that later on), so please don't question me about that.

"So!" Percy said. "What's the brilliant plan?"

I tried not to be annoyed with him. I mean, I was glad that he was here, [Not in that way Sadie.] but it wasn't like I planned everything out. [Fine. It was one of the few times I didn't plan something out. You okay now?]

I took a deep breath. "Well, I was thinking maybe Anubis could track where the museum is since it's not in an entirely… physical place."

"Yes, and we all know who Anubis is, right?" Travis said nudging Connor.

"Yeah, sure we do!" he said.

"He's the Egyptian god of death," Sadie said chewing her gum. "He's currently residing inside Walt now."

"What?" Leo said. "Is that even possible?"

Annabeth sighed. "I'm guessing that while we have children of the gods, they have magicians hosting gods. Am I right?"

"Yeah," I said impressed. "It took a while for me to get around my head, but yeah."

"So yeah, he's in me right now. Isis and Horus used to be in Sadie and Carter, but they left," Walt said. "I can hear Anubis's thoughts right now. But to actually get him to come out, that'll be a little hard."

"Maybe we can go into his field," Sadie suggested. It was rare that she had a suggestion. "Like you know, the graveyard? I think he liked the one in New Orleans."

"Of course, you know all about it Sadie," I mumbled.

Sadie kicked me hard.

"Looks like he has the same taste as our friend," Percy said smiling lightly.

"Who?" Leo said. "Is it that guy who radiated death or something?"

"Yeah," Annabeth said. "I guess you can call him his cousin or something if you count the godly DNA."

"He's no fun to prank!" Connor complained.

"We never even pranked him."

"Oh, right."

I wasn't sure about the "radiating death" part, but I shrugged. "But how are we going to get there? I mean, Walt can't transport us. I guess we could ride Freak, but I don't know if he can handle the weight of eight people. Even if he can, the boat has no space."

The demigods gave me weird looks when I mentioned a boat, but Percy spoke up. "Well, actually, I can call some pegasi—"

"But you wanted to let them relax which is why you didn't call them over to take us to camp," Leo said.

Percy rolled his eyes. "Yeah. But I could call Mrs. O'Leary, but she'll be very tired after it. There's another option, but I don't want to take it."

He locked eyes with Annabeth and she laughed when she found out what it meant.

"Who's Mrs. O'Leary?" Leo asked and the others rolled their eyes. I leaned in to listen too, because I was interested. [Shut up Sadie. I'm interested in a lot of things, not just pets.]

"She's a hellhound," Travis said. "Used to be Daedalus's, but got passed down to Perce. She stays in the arena, and some had some… ah, unfortunate accidents there."

"Cool," Sadie said, probably not even knowing what a hellhound was. [You know it's true.]

"So… should I call her over?" Percy asked. "I mean, she'll be taking a lot of people so it'll be tiring…"

"Sure. If it's okay with all of you," Walt said.

"I'm not sure if she'll hear me, but I'll try."

He gave a loud New York taxicab whistle and the sound echoed for a few seconds. Right after, a huge black dog came out of our shadows and jumped on Percy. Emphasis on huge.

"Mrs. O'Leary, off! Yeah, good to see you too girl," Percy said covered in saliva.

"Oh… So where was she? This is like my first time seeing her," Leo said. Annabeth leaned over and whispered something in his ear. "Oh."

"So that's a hellhound," Sadie said, her mouth open.

"They're usually smaller in size though," Percy said. He jumped on her back and she barked. "Come on."

It took a bit of work, but we all managed to fit on the dog.

"Alright, Mrs. O'Leary. I'm counting on you. Take us to the New Orleans graveyard."

Mrs. O'Leary barked again and the ground shook as she jumped in a shadow.

For a moment, we were in darkness. There were strange noises and I was creeped out, to be honest. [Go ahead, call me a scaredy-cat. Now just shut up.]

When it stopped, Annabeth said, "Looks like little Falcon Head here was scared."

Everyone busted out laughing as we got off. Mrs. O'Leary immediately started snoring.

"Well, we're here," Sadie said.

"Thanks, we noticed," Leo said. "Graveyards. Not my number one place to hang out."

"That's your opinion," someone said behind him.

I jumped and looked behind us. There, petting Mrs. O'Leary was someone who looked like a younger version of Anubis. He had a black aviator jacket that was a bit too big on him and a black sword at his belt.

"Hey Nico," Percy said.

"Looks like Anubis," Walt said.

"More like his twin," Sadie said.

"I guess your idea of a good hangout would be in a factory or something," Nico shrugged. He looked in our direction. "Hey Anubis. Well, actually, part of Anubis."

"I'm actually hosting him," Walt mumbled. "We were hoping that he would come out if we came here—"

"Right over there," he said pointing to a coffin that had Anubis sitting on it.

"I'll go join you in a bit," Percy said and walked over to talk to Nico.

"It's kind of weird, seeing a god that I'm hosting outside of me when I know that part of him is inside my head," Walt said.

"Very," I agreed.

"Hello Sadie," Anubis said smiling at my sister. "And to the rest of you. And the Greeks."

Sadie sniffed. "I suppose you have more toilet paper right now?"

Anubis rolled his eyes. "It's not toilet paper."

I cleared my throat. "We were going to ask you about the museum."

He frowned. "What museum? I only know of few. The newest one I think is in the middle of a portal."

"A portal," Connor said. "Like in those sci-fi movies?"

"No, a real one," I said. For some reason, the two brothers reminded me of Sadie. [The truth hurts Sadie. Especially this one.]

"Um, so how do you make one? Is there like a machine that makes portals? Actually, that'd be pretty cool, though it won't be the coolest thing to make. Then again we may or may not—" Leo rambled until Annabeth cut him off by punching him in the gut.

"Thank you," Sadie said.

"But to make a portal, don't you need a lot of power?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah, we usually make them best at like Egyptian architecture … things. Like around obelisks," Sadie said. Of course, that's the best description that she could make up. [Ow, that hurt!]

"Usually, that's what you do," Anubis said. "But I'll make one for you this time. It's not really my specialty though, so it won't last long."

"But how will we just stop in the middle?" Walt asked. "You said that the museum is in the middle of a portal."

He shrugged. "I don't know up to that much. I've been there once by accident though. You need a huge entrance fee to get in—unless you can sneak by the security guard which is really hard."

"We can shadow travel," Percy said coming along with Nico.

I thought I heard Nico mutter, "I never agreed to this."

"I guess the son of Hades can help," Anubis said. "And I should be going now before they find out that I'm off somewhere else along with mortals again. Good luck."

He opened a black portal and disappeared.
