Thalia's Pov:

He then said something that surprised me "Thanks for rescuing me sis!"

"How do you know?"

"I'm not sure but when I saw you, something clicked in me and I remembered who you were and your name but that's all."

"Well you were two… anyways we need to free your friends, Helios can you?"

"Of course." Helios walked to the demigods. There were three of them, a boy and two girls. Heilos walked up to them and touched the boy and his hand glowed. The ice encasing him slowly melted and he fell out, gasped and fell on to ground unconscious. This was repeated for the other two and the same thing happened to them.

"They're all right, just shocked."

Jason walked up to the boy and the girl lying next to him "I 'm not sure who they are, his name is Leo Valdez and the girl is Piper McLean. They are demigods for sure but I don't think they know that. We found them on our way here; they had no idea what they were doing here except that they had woken up next to each other.

That girl there is Reyna. She's my girlfriend." Walking up to her, he hugged her and whispered something into her ear that sounded like "You'll be alright".

"You couldn't have come up here only with her, you surely came as a group?" I asked.

"Of course, after I defeated Krios I sent them back to our camp before me but I wanted to stay back and examine this place. Reyna insisted on staying with me. Hyperion and Khione ambushed us almost immediately after they left. They managed to hold Reyna hostage and told me that they would kill her if I didn't take Atlas's place. So I did. That was when Leo and Piper came. I thought that they had left with my friends. Those fools actually tried to help us. I mean they'd never had any field experience and they tried to help!"

I could see that he was actually impressed by their bravery. He continued, "Leo charged at Hyperion and now this is the weird part, Hyperion shot flames at him but most of it just diverted away from him and the little that got to him just seemed to hurt him a little. If those flames had hit me I'd have turned to ash. But Khione froze him. Then Piper did something even weirder as soon as she saw Leo frozen she begged Khione not to freeze her and it seemed like it worked for a second when Khione looked distracted as though thinking about whether she was doing the right thing. Piper charged at her then and stabbed her with a dagger, which brought her back to her senses. Piper seemed really surprised that she didn't get badly hurt like a mortal. Khione just looked at her coldly before freezing her. She then turned to me and gave me a really psycho grin and froze Reyna." I could not bear to think of what his mind went through when he saw those scenes. Unfortunately this conversation almost led to our deaths...

Suddenly Khione got up and sped at Helios with her sword. He had no time to react; she had actually managed to freeze him!

She then looked at us "Fools, I am a lot stronger than I used to be. Zeus himself made us stronger. Do you actually think you can beat me? I will make you into sculptures for all eternity!" I couldn't believe my eyes.

She actually emitted a stronger aura than before and I knew that we were in serious in trouble as soon as I looked at her eyes. They weren't calm like before but were full of rage and madness. She charged me and I had no time to dodge she sliced my arm and it froze. Jason took this opportunity to attack but she was too fast and she sliced him on his leg. He stumbled and fell.

"I'm going to freeze him part by part and watch you despair before I do it to you!" She had gone nuts! But the next few moments were a blur.

I remember a flash and this lady touched Khione's head and said, "No one hurts my brother!" Khione's anger suddenly vanished and she seemed to have no clue as to where she was.

She just sat down and stared at the sky. The woman in question wore a slivery dress and looked pale yet beautiful. She looked at us with a look of pity and walked up to Helios.

"Get up Helios, there is no time to waste." It worked like a charm, the ice melted and Helios came out.

He saw our looks of wonder at her "Don't be so surprised, I had almost finished thawing out when she came."

He looked at Khione "Irritating one that one, took me by surprise but good thing she had woken up otherwise my plan would have failed. Thalia, Jason may I introduce to you Selene or as Jason would know her, Luna Titan of the moon. You actually came for me. I thought that this plan would fail. It was a big risk I took putting these demigods in danger but it worked and here you are." While saying this he melted the ice our bodies.

Selene looked at her brother affectionately and said "I guess love blinded me at first. I was sure that joining Zeus was the only way to bring back Endymion. But Zeus has become crazy. He is serious about bringing back Kronos! I realized what he'd become so I came here. I was really surprised to see you fighting again. But these two (she pointed at us) reminded me why you were important too me. Anyway I'll meet you at the Greek camp soon. I'll take Jason and Reyna to the Roman camp and explain the situation to Lupa. Take the other three and Khione back to the Greek camp. Those two (she pointed to Leo and Piper) are Greeks."

I gave Jason a hug "It's good to see this grown up brother. I'll miss you but I hope to see you in the near future after all your camp and mine need to work together to bring our father back to his senses." "I'll see you soon Thalia, I'm sure. I'll try to convince my camp to work with yours." He hugged me back and walked to Selene who was standing next to Reyna chatting with Helios. It was the first time I had actually seen Helios happy. He must have really loved his sister. I knew that I would see Jason again pretty soon and I would protect him with my life. "Good bye brother, see you soon." I whispered to myself as watched him disappear. Helios walked up to me "Thanks, if it wasn't for you and your brother I doubt my sister would have returned. I know how it feels to be separated from my sibling for so long. It felt really good to talk to her again." "Hey no problem, you got me back my brother didn't you!" I said. Helios smiled at me and we walked to the still unconscious bodies of Leo and Piper and Helios teleported us back to the Greek camp.
