"So we are facing something we have no knowledge about. Oh! Don't forget Rachel said there's no propechy." Percy said walking round and round. His friends were sat in a circle and he was moving around them.
It was about an hour after the meeting.
"We need something to get started on." Reyna stated.
"We could ask Ella. Maybe there is a propechy." Annabeth said.
"But she's in Camp Jupiter. How are we gonna get her now. It will be like what a day or two?" Jason said sounding worried. Well, he was worried. Never before had he faced an unknown enemy.
"Let's tell Chiron." Reyna said once again.
"I'll go tell him." Annabeth said and got up walking in the direction of the big house.
"Wait for me wise girl." Percy shouted and ran after her.
Soon everyone left except Reyna. She kept sitting there thinking. What if camp Jupiter is attacked in her absense.
Reyna didn't want to admit but she was scared.
"Hey!" She heard someone speak.
Turning around she saw a guy with chestnut hair and warm blue eyes. He was smiling down at her.
The guy was very handsome, Reyna noticed.
"Hi" She replied.
"So... ummm... you are Reyna?" He asked.
"Yes." Reyna replied.
"Great." And with that he plopped down beside her and gave her a huge grin.
Reyna looked at the unknown boy questioningly.
"Oh! Right. I am Aether." He said.
"Aether? As in the primordial." Reyna replied shocked. A primordial was sitting beside her.
"Bingo. That's me." Aether replied. "Oh... no don't bow." He hastily told her as she turned to bow. "I don't like all these formalities. You are Reyna, I am Aether. That's it."
"Oh!" Was the reply he got.
"Don't worry. I am not the threat that you guys are looking out for. Actually I am here to help."
"Help?"
"Yeah!" Aether rolled his eyes. "Help. I can help you know."
"How?"
"You are not being very bright are you?" He asked. "I can help you if you want."
"Of course, Lord Aether. We will ne gratefull." Reyna told the primordial. She was nervous and she didn't even know why.
"Lord?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry. Aether." She said and looked down.
Aether nodded his head as if approving her words.
"So lets get going" he said as he stood up.
It was Reyna's turn to raise an eyebrow.
"Uh! You need to come with me." Aether replied rubbing his neck. "Come on. Trust me. I am not evil."
Reyna considered it. A guy claiming to be a primordial wanted her to go with him so he could help. It didn't sound right. For all she knew he could be a murderer.
"Please." Aether said looking at her pleadingly. "Come on. I swear on the river Styx I won't harm you."
Reyna could see her resolve disappear. He was looking endearing. She knew it was wrong to think that. He had a primordial wife for gods' sake. But she couldn't help it.
Something about Aether was drawing Reyna in. So at last she conceeded and said. "Ok! Fine."
Aether's eyes brightened at this. He was happy. So he took a few steps towards her removing the distance and putting his hand in her waist. She gave him a glare at this.
"Sorry. Hold on."
And with that Aether flew with Reyna beside him. Up to the sky.
