Ben's POV

Now that we had finally started the quest, I decided to get a better look at what everybody was doing. Everybody was doing something different. Martin and Sarah were snuggling, Julie was reading a book, Sabina was glaring at Martin and Sarah, Katie was messing with Janie by using storm magic to almost knock her off the griffin, and Janie was yelling at her. Suddenly, I heard someone say, Lord, why do you put up with these inferior creatures?

"Who said that?" I said aloud.

"What are you talking about Ben? No one said anything, besides Janie, and she's yelling at Katie." Sarah told me.

I did lord. It is me, Hammer.

I looked down at Hammer and thought, How can you talk to me? And why do you think my friends are inferior creatures?

He replied by telling me, Griffins are the sacred animals of Horus. They are inferior beasts because they are not related to Horus in any way, shape, or form.

Then I thought back, Oh. Well we are done talking. Don't call my friends inferior.

All of a sudden, I felt Hammer lurch forward, and then he began to fall. I saw all the other griffins falling, too. All I remember is falling, and then having a strange person catch me. He was very strong, and he was wearing a golden ninja-like costume, and he had silver bracelets. Then, I fainted.

-Line Break-

When I woke up, I could hear the ninjas talking about us. I looked up, and saw that the one who caught me was the only one wearing a golden ninja costume. The rest were wearing Silver ninja costumes.

"Who are you people? Why did you rescue us?" I asked.

"Be grateful. We could've let you fall." I heard one mumble.

The golden one stood up. "Silence, Kai. We are the Warriors of Horus, and your father asked us too," he said, "I am Zane West. I am the Captain of the Warriors of Horus. Your father has commanded that I join you on your quest."

Back at Camp…

Ace's POV

I was at magic class, when suddenly some boys jumped out of the woods and into the middle of our class. I looked at the one standing next to me, and said,

"Hey. What's your name?"

"I am Kai Archer. I am a demigod, like you, but I am part of the warriors of Horus, and my mother doesn't have a cabin here. Her name is Satet, and she is the goddess of Archery and Hunting. We are here by request of our Captain. We are here to protect you during the impending war." Kai told me, and I couldn't stop staring at him. He was hot! He had short black hair, and he was very tanned and muscled. His eyes were silver, and they made me want to stay and stare in them forever. Suddenly I heard someone say,

"What war?" It was Fione Hart, who was a daughter of Bast.

"The war that is starting between Ma'at and Isfet. Rather, Order and Chaos. The warriors of Horus have been watching Apophis for the past few months, and we have decided that the most likely place he will attack is here, so we are here to make sure that this camp is not destroyed." Kai told everyone.

"On that happy note, I have an announcement. Everyone that is in camp right now will be staying a week in the terrain, which will be changing every day. There will be three people to a group, now go pick your groups." Bast said.

"I call Kai!" Peyton and I yelled in unison. We glared at each other and Kai walked up and said,

"Girls! There are three people in a group, so we it can be the three of us in one group!" In the end, the groups were Amber, Dante, and Luna; Peyton, Kai, and I; Cora, Jada, and Fione; Ethan, Callia, and Scott; Salvatore, Isis, and Max; Mateo, Misty, and Maria; and then since there were four people left, Carter, Sophia, Cherie, and Bella.

"Now! Since we have to choose the terrain for tomorrow, I will roll a die. The terrain is going to be… Jungle!" Bast told everyone.

A.N.- My personal question of the day, who should get Kai? Peyton or Ace?
