I yanked the door open,chaos!

Martha and George ran around in fear,half of the house was on fire. "Nico!" I shouted. He turned to me,his sword drawn. "Drakon!" He shouted. I unclipped my hair clip,grasping my bow. "GEORGE MARTHA!" I shouted. ''GREENE GET THEM OUT OF HERE!'' Greene grabbed the nearest door open,helping the two out the door. "Ray! Nico! With me!" Nico pryed open the nearest window,boosting Ray and I up,me grabbing his hands once we were out. The roof of the building collapsed as Nico landed on the lawn of the house.

We rushed to the back,the garden,where the shrieks of the drakon came from. It was a giant,purple creature,hooked wings flapping viciously as it spat fire over the already destroyed house. "Holy Hephatestus." Ray breathed,taking out his sword. The creature turned to us,opening his mouth so we could see the fire building in his throat. "DODGE!" Nico shouted,pushing us out of the way just as the monster shot a wall of fire where we had been standing."Ray,get in it's blind spot!" I shot,readying my bow. "Nico,you work on scaring it's legs while I distract." We all nodded,we knew what to do. We were a team by nature. "HEY MEATHEAD!" I screamed,waving my hands around in the air. The drakon turned to me,giving Nico and Ray some time to get to work. Ray crept on the monster's back while Nico got under it,slashing violently at it's legs. It snorted,looking for the source of the newfound pain on it's legs. "HEY NO NO NO NO!" I screamed at it. "PAY ATTENTION TO MEEE!" The monster roared and shot a wave of flames at me. I rolled away,not fast enough though. I felt a searing pain on the back of my right leg.

I pulled the string of my bow back,shooting at the monster. I got it right in the neck. It roared angirlly. I smirked. "YA TAKE THAT YA UGLY BRUTE!" I didn't know what ''brute'' meant but it sounded good so why not?

"NICO STAB IT!" I shouted,continuing to purpously shoot missing arrows to distract the creature. I heard the drakon let out a final screech,and it fell to the ground. Nico pulled his sword from the Drakon's stomach,looking to me. "You okay?" He asked. I nodded. "ya." I flinched,I had completly forgotten my burned leg. Nico dug in his bag,handing me some ambrosia. I took a small bite,the familiar taste of my mother's bacon entering my mouth."You okay Ray?" Ray nodded and brushed some dirt from his jeans. "we have a lot of explaining to do."

And Ray was right. Martha was freaking out. "wheres George?" I asked Greene. He stared down,not saying a word."My home! G-George!" She sobbed. "What WAS that!?" I bit my lip. "Martha I'm so sorry I-" "WHY WAS THERE A DRAGON IN MY GARDEN!?"

"wait. what?"

"Oh don't tell me you didn't see it to! A firebreathing dragon right in my yard!"

Nico,Greene,Ray,and I shared a look. She saw through the mist? How?! "Martha,theres something we should tell you. did you ever read Greek Mythology?"

"Of course I have! How is that important now!?" she demanded.

"please calm down Martha,let Fae explain." Greene said,resting a hand on the woman's shoulder.

"Now,when a mortal and a God have a baby,you get a demigod." Greene had managed to calm Martha down and had sat her on a lawn chair while I explained. "We." I said,gesturing to all of us. "Are demigods. We go to a camp for people like us called:Camp Half Blood." Martha nodded. "And right now,Aphrodite,the goddess of love,is in danger. We're on our way to find her.'' Martha sat in scilence. "Come on." She said,standing up. "W-What?" I stammered. "Ya'll have something to do,you're all either figments of my breaking mind,or you're not lying."

We drove for hours. I sat between Nico and Greene with Ray in the front. NOt saying a was fine by me. I didn't want to upset Martha. Night slowly set upon us. I watched the buildings pass by the car. I allowed my eyes to close,lulling me off to sleep.

"I'M BECOMING RESTLESS!" A voice boomed in my dream. I was in the cave of crystals again. Zios pacing his cave as his friend rushed after him. "S-S-Sir the demigods are on their way."

"SCILENCE DWARF!"

The dwarf whimpered,backing away from Zios. "I MUST FEED!" He demanded again,the cave shaking from his voice.

I woke up to the car stopping. Martha had driven us as close as possible to the Grand Canyon. "This is as far as I can go." Martha said. We got out of the car,Martha handing us our bags she had stocked with some food. She pulled me into a hug. "Goodbye Fae." I smiled gently. "Thank you so much Martha. I'll make sre George doesn't go to Adosphel." I said.

Martha hopped in her car,driving back to her home. "Can you even promise that?" Ray asked. "I hope so." I said,watching the small silver car dissipear down the road.

"How do we even know where this 'Crystal Cave' is?" Ray asked,turning to the grand canyon. "How about we go to that viewing platform?" I suggested. We made our way over there,I grabbed the bar and looked over at the massive valley below. "How do we get down there?" I asked nervously. "shadow travel." Nico said bluntly. "Can you risk it?" Greene asked. "It's a mile maybe."

Shadow traveling was okay. Had to catch my breath. But okay. I felt Titan rustling around in my backpack again. I took Titan out. "You know where the cave is Titan?" I asked,she mewed and scampered off. We rushed after her,dodging trees and spitting flys out of our mouths. Finally,Titan stopped in front of a large rock. "T-Titan." I huffed. "W-Wrong way." She mewed again,sitting and licking her paw..what used to be her paw I guess.

I exaimed the Rock with Nico. we looked at every inch of it. I felt my hand run into something,a hole. I stopped abruptly,running over it with my finger. "Hey guys." i said,examining it closer. Nico came over,examining it. "It's a key hole." he announced. Titan mewed,holding up her paw. "her paw!" Nico announced. He came closer,gently disconnecting her paw bone,inserting it into the key hole.

The rock slowly slid back,revealing a large,dark cave. Titan came back up to me. I put her front paw back on and stared ahead at the Cave. "Ready Neeks?" I asked,smiling nervously at him. "Bring it." he said.
