Our brief moment of respite ended a little too soon and now we're back to hunting for Artemis' bow. I know how symbols of power work but seriously, if it's that important then why leave it up to mortals to get them back when they're lost? Won't a powerful god have a better chance at getting it back? This my dear reader is the logic of the gods because apparently sending mortal kids who may or may not have one the half-blood genetic lottery and was lucky enough to have powers seems better than having them in their full glory do the dirty work

I most likely won't understand why things are this way, but I'd still live with it regardless. Now we got answers that we rather wouldn't have had. What answers? Well let me recap on facts

1. Artemis' bow was stolen (most likely misplaced and she got too lazy to get it back)

2. We got picked for the quest (something about the children of the sun, wisdom, and the mist having to work together)

3. Oh, and the bow ended up in the hands of Orion (You know her crazy ex that made it his business to hate on her and the rest of the people who are related to her in one way or another? yup that one)

Hmm does that explain it? Because I think one out of those things aren't demigod friendly... at all...

"From what we know Orion is a hunter so logically speaking we need to give him something to hunt," I started

"Like bait?" Calvin asked

"Yep, or a distraction to make him lose focus of the bow so one of us can sneak in grab it and go. Easy peasy lemon squeezy" I replied trying to sound optimistic

"Any ideas on what we'd make him chase" Lucian added

"Daughter of the Goddess of Magic, Mystokinesis," I replied

"So an illusion?" He pressed on

"That and something more. We'd need to split into different areas to cover any course of action he takes" I explained drawing out a map "Big O is over here with the bow. You two stay close enough to grab it. I'll lead him away" I continued drawing out the lines "In case he takes it with him you flank him and we'll tire him out. We'll take him to the caverns here then you sunshine will flash his eyeballs out"

"Excuse me?!" Lucian exclaimed

"I meant the literal flash like bright halogen head lights flash. Get your mind out of the gutter kid" I corrected

"Okay then what?" he asked

"I stab the brute and Cal here grabs the bow and we go back to our merry way to Camp Halfblood like any normal Tuesday" I replied

"Aren't you taking this way too lightly?" Calvin asked

"Well I am very serious and as long as you kids don't get skewered we're golden" I answered as I mapped out the area

"You sure this will work?" they asked

"No but it's going to be safer for you two" I mumbled "Now head to your places. We have a bow to retrieve and a camp to get back to" I said a bit louder

This plan and entire quest had its risk but I knew one thing for a fact... We are coming home one way or the other.
