Chapter 7:

They were just on the border of Peru, and Reyna could feel the difference of the climate. The air was clearer, fresher, cleaner. Reyna was bare foot that morning so she could feel the moisture of the soil beneath her feet; it felt good to step on South American ground again, especially a country that spoke her mother tongue. It was relaxing, she felt her senses falling and she was off-guard.

"Buenos dìas Reyna," someone said whilst putting their hand on her shoulder. Then again Reyna was never off-guard, so she tackled the speaker instantly. Leo.

"Lo siento Praetor," he said beaming and teasingly putting his hands in the air "Me rindo, me rindo!" Reyna calmed herself down a bit and released him.

"Sorry" she whispered to the ground, he grinned and hovered his arm around her too scared to actually, physically touch her, "No te recùpes, I kind of expected it anyway." Leo walked away afterwards, still beaming. Reyna sighed and returned to admiring Peru. A few moments later, Reyna decided that it was time to move on from her position and changed in her tent. She slipped on a black tank top, with a red and black checker shirt over it (her sleeves rolled up), denim shorts and black ankle high boots, also daggers stuffed up her socks. That day she didn't brush her hair into a plat but in a messy bun, and her bangs hanging on the side of her face. The day was beautiful, but she reminded herself she was on a quest not on vacation. When she stepped outside she caught a glimpse of Annabeth, she had her hair down, her luscious curls trickling down her shoulders, a grey tank top, with darker grey shorts, also denim sleeveless jacket, and black knee high boots. Percy was standing next to her, his shaggy black hair, messy as usual, a grey vest with a deep green over shirt, to reflect and exaggerate his gentle sea-green eyes, and he was just wearing baggy navy shorts, with plain black sneakers- Reyna didn't see what she saw in him in the first place. The crazy haired Latino was in the corner fidgeting with something, his wild grin glistening in the sunlight. He had his trousers rolled up to limit the heat, could he even get hot? Reyna thought, well anyways he was wearing a red V-neck showing off his big muscular arms- bad Reyna snap out of it!-and black sneakers, but he wasn't wearing his signature suspenders, but he was still wearing his magical tool-belt- O.K. Amore and Ocultos, stunning as always, were wearing different clothes but it didn't distract the fact that whatever they wore it made them look exquisite. Ocultos wore a blue V-neck, shorts and brown sandals. Amore wore a thin pink blouse, shorts and pearly white sneakers. Both had pigtails which made them look younger- of course. The day started off great, but nothing was great in demigod's lives. "We should set course for Tacha, as it is the closest city, as we are in Chile right now," Reyna announced, everybody else listening closely "It would be a long walk and considering that we do not have long to complete this quest, I have spoken with the griffins and they have agreed to take us there-"

"You can speak griffin?" Leo questioned

"Yes, and I can't realise that griffins know how to nod." Reyna added sarcastically

"Right,"

"Yeah" Reyna rolled her eyes and let, the end of the 'yeah' to float in the air for awhile, "anyways, afterwards we would be able to find whatever that we need to find, and get on with the quest. I suggest that we should start packing right now."

With that everybody left and starting packing immediately, Reyna had that effect on people, but not like Piper that she uses charm-speak for people to do what she wants, but she channels her fear into her voice, to power her voice to make people do what she wants, heck it even worked on Octavian, - ahh the years without Octavian had been relaxing, but he still did sacrifice himself, but still no more yapping like Chihuahua, about 'Reyna this, Reyna that, Reyna we can not trust does graceus.' All that weight had been lifted. Anyways she said some words and the tents magically turned back into a handkerchief and stuffed it in her shorts. She wiped sweat off her brow and strolled to Caesar. His majestic coffee wings grew as she approached him, "Ok Caesar, this time its going to different, this time I'm going to be riding you, not being dragged, OK?" Caesar growled and shook his head; "I'll take that as a yes." She climbed on Caesar, and took a deep breath, she brought a rope with her and tied around the griffin's neck and used it as a rein, she whipped the rope against his skin " Ya!" the griffins eyes shot open and they flew in the sky.


Behind her were Amore and Ocultos, joking about and talking to Leo who was there too, on her right was Annabeth, who cleverly tied her feet together, so if she fell, she would be dangling upside down, Percy was on her right smiling.


A few minutes later, they arrive at Tacha. The sun beats on their skin, and the sunrays as golden as Reyna's dagger. A delightful smell passes by Reyna's nose, sweetness that she longed for everyday, hot chocolate. "Pleasssee, can we get hot chocolate?" She pleaded like a little girl. Annabeth raised an eyebrow,

"What?"

"Pleasssee, can we get hot chocolate?"

"Why?"

"Because, it's Peruvian hot chocolate!"

"And?"

"I like hot coco."

"And…"

"We are getting some, and who knows, we can find whoever we need to find there!"

"Fine"

"Great"

They walked down to the quaint café, ordered six hot chocolates with extra chocolate and one with marshmallows for Reyna. Once the waitress passed them their drinks, they walked outside to sit down at a table, in silence. They sipped their drinks slowly until Percy broke the quietness.

"Annabeth,"

"Yeah,"

"You know the north pole? Where Santa lives?"

"Percy! SANTA ISNT REAL!"

"He could be, if I'm a demigod, Santa is possible! Well anyways there is also the South Pole. Right?"

"Yeah, anddd…"

"Well the prophecy says light would meet in the middle of the opposite poles, and well the middle of the pole is Africa and well there is A LOT of light there, and well I was thinking should we go there?"

There was a long pause, until Annabeth kissed her boyfriend's cheek

"THAT'S GENIUS! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Well then were we sent here anyways? Peru?" Amore asked

"I don't know" Reyna confirmed, "but I can somehow sense the mist hiding something around here."

Percy looked around "Same." He squinted and looked closely to the little details, but so far he found nothing except: a homeless guy asking for money, a dog barking at a guy with a llama, a woman selling charms, a glowing house, a guy picking his boogers, wait a glowing house?, "Hey guys, there is like this weird glowing house there," he pointed his finger to the right, where the house was,

"Well then lets check it out." Annabeth said


Crooked and torn, those were the words to describe the house, yet it sent a mystical vibe. The roof was wooden and painted black, the outside of the house was made of broken wood, the window frames were badly painted red, the windows were blanketed in dust, and there was no door. Reyna crept in the thought-to-be abandoned house, the floorboard creaking at every step, the other were close behind, their voices hushed to a limit if they wanted to talk. Everything about the interior was mysterious and strange, it felt as if they were in a hotel, the place was cool despite the boiling weather outside and the bad condition the house was in, the walls were velvet, and some of the furniture was actually golden and it was not ruined or anything, there were no living life forms such as: rats, mice and bugs even though the door was open. There was a faded light coming from the room at the end of the inside. They all cautiously tip-toed into the room, Reyna's jaw dropped when she say what was in the room.

There were golden accents, rich blood-red walls, mahogany floor, velvet sofas and chairs; a crystal chandelier hanged from the ceiling, there was also a bar at the side. A slim woman let out a high-pitched shriek when she saw them, she had red wine in her right hand, and she was perfectly tanned, warm hazel eyes, long wavy chestnut hair with cherry blossom crown on her head and planted down her locks, she was also wearing a everlasting candyfloss pink toga, "My darlings, how long has it been? Five years? My babes!" Reyna was confused, but the edges of Amore and Ocultos' mouths twitched into a smile, their eyes sparkled with wet tears, and finally Reyna understood "MAMMA!" They both lunged themselves into their mothers arms crying a stream of tears "Cinco años mamma! Cinco! No te vayas! Yo no quiero separar me de ti de nuevo!" Ocultos sobered

"¿Porqué no podemos estar juntos para siempre como una familia, nosotros tres juntos, en paz, sola?" Amore asked through her tears

"Lo siento pero vida no es tan, simple pero los hados no me deja estar con tigo, lo siento, pero te digo algo, tu dos son mi favoritas, y te voy ayudar, y no mi importa si los hados mi matan porque yo te amo con todo mi vida y si mi sacan de tu vida, tu sepa que yo siempre voy estar en tu corazon. Te amo mis hijas." Hebe said as she kissed their foreheads softly, the moment was so sweet that Reyna forgot that they were talking in Spanish, and Percy and Annabeth understood nada, zilch. Reyna laughed, "What?" Hebe asked sweetly,

"Nothing, its just…" Reyna couldn't help herself from laughing "Just nothing, oh wow…"She straitened herself up, "sorry"

"So you probably may ask 'why are we here' 'why is she here' well to present you with some gifts of course!" She beamed and magically the wine that has been in her hand disappeared. "Ahh, to my sweet Amore Joves Juventud Griega, I personally give you this is Neolaía," she handed her a spear "engrave these words on to the ground" she handed Amore a note which read nearó thánato – young death, "and write your victims name afterwards, then stab the point of the spear into the ground-"

"Kind of like the roman spoils of war?"

"Ehh- kind of roman girl,"

"And if you want to heal someone," she passed her another note kai páli ta niáta- youth again "carve this into their skin like a tattoo and they would be healed from their wounds."

"But how would I remember this mamma?" Amore asked. Hebe waved her hand in front of her daughters face, "It is permanently in your mind now." Hebe grinned. "As for you Ocultos Omorfus Juventud Griega," she hands her a shield,

"Gee, Thanks mamma, Amore can get a spear and I get a, shield" Ocultos said sarcastically, "Well, sweetie that is not the best bit! Look!" She took the shield from Ocultos' dainty hands, and tapped it twice, and it turned into a wine cup,

"A wine cup? Seriously?"

"No… A youth potion!"

"Why would I need that Mamma?"

"I don't know, as a disguise? Or is someone drinks it too much they vanish!"

"How do I go to normal age though?"

"Say a random word,"

"Joven"

"You say that and you are back to normal, but remember only you can say it."

"And for the rest of you… Urmm, don't really care about you- Just kidding!"

Man how perky can she get? Reyna thought.

"Reyna, here is a whistle," she handed her a whistle, it was half silver and half gold, Reyna wanted to tear up as her it reminded her of her dogs, but she stayed strong, it was quite long the size of a dog whistle, Gods those she hate me? Does she want me to show my vulnerable side? "You blow the whistle and everybody or everything within my power, meaning that they are young, will follow your command, if they are human they would forget you straight away afterwards!"

"Thank you." Reyna said, she held a cold whistle, so small, so much power.

"Annabeth, with these earrings you would be able to know, what people who are young, are thinking, but you don't need to know what everybody is thinking, just the people you want to read minds."

"Thank you Hebe."

"Percy, you are already too powerful but I bestow the gift of protection on you, like Stygian water that you would be invincible, but this would be only during quest times."

"Thank you" Percy looked distant; like he was trying to figure something out, once he figured it he asked, "You are married to Heracles right?"

"Yes, dear Percy. Why?"

"Tell him he is an ass-hole!"

Hebe looked quizzical, but then she smirked, "I would be happy to! Serves him right to not admire my cooking!" Percy just chuckled.

"Thanks a lot Hebe, if we survive this I would go to the temples Jason built for you in both camps and build you a shrine in my house in New Rome" Percy added just before they left.


"Ok, so griffins ditched us, so now what?"

Reyna studied the area and saw the sea in the distance. "We sail."

Ocultos had an idea and she explained it to the rest. Apparently her eyes are soo cute and big, hard to resist that she could ask and get something. Kind of like charm-speak, eyes-speak? Anyways Ocultos nicely asked a ferryman in Spanish, if she could have the ship, he said yes ofcourse, they gave their thanks. And sailed at noon.
