"Come on we have to go." Liam said.

"Where?" Larissa asked. Valdis looked around.

"There." A cave.

"We'll die for sure if we go in there." Liam responded.

"Would you just trust me with this!" Valdis said already half way to the cave. Liam sighed and ran after her with Larissa in tow. Once they got far enough into the cave Valdis kept going.

"Where are you going.'' Liam asked.

"It's feels as though it is calling me." Valdis said a little confused.

"Calling you?" Valdis nodded.

"Do you have a flash light?" She asked. Larissa nodded even though she was confused as well. She got it of her backpack and gave it to Valdis who turned it on. Valdis cast the light down the cave.

"I'll be right back."

"We shouldn't separate." Larissa stated.

"I'm still going down there so follow if you want." Liam and Larissa stayed put as Valdis went down the cave but followed her when they heard the hiss of a Dracanae.

"Valdis what you doing?" Liam asked.

"I don't know, just follow me." She responded. For some reason she felt more powerful here as if something of her father's realm was here and drawing her to it. Liam sighed.

"Fine but if we get eaten by bats I'm blaming you." Liam responded.

"That's not scientifically possible." Larissa stated.

"Yah but neither is the gods." Valdis said not taking her eyes off the path.

"True-

"Ghosts." Liam whispered. There floated ghost. All around the little part of the cave. Valdis sighed. Just ghosts and she had led them into a cave with monsters following them.

"Milady it is nice to see you again." One of the ghost said to Valdis. She nodded.

"Why are there so many of you here?" Valdis asked.

"Because Milady it's part of your father's realm." Another answered.

"So this is the underworld?" Liam asked. Valdis shook her head and walked forward. She went up to the wall and put her hand on it. Valdis then dragged it against the wall then stopped and backed away and moved her hand over the air by it.

"What are you doing?" Liam asked which caused a few ghost to glare at suddenly a table appeared with a helmet on it.

"Hades's Helmet! That's why you were drawn here!' Larissa exclaimed as Valdis picked up the helmet.

"Yah." Valdis answered looking at the helmet.

"Is there a way out of here?" Valdis asked turning to a ghost. He nodded.

"Right th- Raye and Markus tumbled in the room.

"Raye!" Larissa exclaimed.

"Hey guys." Valdis scowled at Markus.

"What is he doing here?" Valdis asked. Markus's eyes went to the helmet and back to Valdis.

"He let me go and he's coming with us." Raye stated firmly. Valdis raised her eyebrow.

"What?" Liam asked while Larissa sighed.

"Is he now?" Valdis asked.

"Yes." Raye answered annoyed. Valdis scowled.

"Fine but he does anything to mess this up I'm going to slit his throat." Valdis answered glaring at Markus who didn't pay any attention to her.

"Where's the bolt and the trident?" Larissa asked.

"There in different rooms." Markus stated.

"Can you show us to them?" Liam asked.

"Yes, but we'll have to be careful because if the monsters find out I'm with you guys they'll attack us." Markus responded.

"They're too stupid to figure that out they'll just attack us either way." Raye answered.

"Do you always have to argue with me?"

"Yes." Was Markus's expected answer.

"Well can you stop?"

"Sorry to interrupt your lover's quarrel but we have to go." Valdis said annoyed. Raye went scarlet where's Markus scowled at her.

"Star boy first." Liam said. Markus scowled again and went out the door. He looked around.

"Come on." The four demigods inched their way out and followed Markus down a hallway.

"So are you joining us now or something?" Liam whispered to Markus. Markus was about to respond when Raye interrupted him.

"Shut up Liam!" She whispered/yelled. Liam just rolled his eyes and continued to follow Markus. He led them to a case of stairs. Which led them to a hot, damp, place.

"We're under the Geyser." Markus whispered. He led them down a dark hallway to finally a room like structure. There was about 30 feet of real ground until it led to cliff which had a lake with more pointy rocks than anything and a Waterfall.

"The trident is over there." Markus pointed to a lone flat rock far away from where they stood.

"How do you get to that?" Liam asked.

"Shadow travel usually." Markus replied. Liam nodded.

"So is that what you are going to do?" Valdis asked.

"Can't you shadow travel?" Markus asked.

"Well yes but I did it earlier from Iowa and I have the Helmet." Valdis answered. Markus shrugged, and was about to shadow travel to get the trident when a voice filled the room.

"I told Lady Gaea you were a traitor but no he's too loyal to betray us." Markus sighed. It was the demigod from the forges. Valdis, Raye, Larissa and Liam drew their weapons and pointed them at the boy.

"Do you really think you can defeat me when I have an army of monsters?" The boy asked as the monsters walked through the door.

"Well we do have a daughter of Hades who has the helmet of Hades so we may be a little more powerful than usually, oh and we have Markus as well." Liam answered cheekily. The boy snarled at him.

"Attack!" Valdis put the helmet on while Markus loaded his bow and the monsters attacked.

Larissa swung her knives any direction she could harming many monsters but not enough to turn any to dust. Liam stood beside her beheading some monsters with his axe while kicking others away so the stayed at a safe distance. Liam swung his axe at a Dracanae that approached him but missed. The Dracanae came at him but before it could attack a swishing noise came past Liam's ear. Liam looked over and saw one of Larissa's knives on the ground in the dust of the monster which he quickly picked up and handed it to her.

"Thanks." He simply said as he turned another monster into dust.

Valdis was having a great time. No monsters could see her and she had manage to raise an undead army to help them. She beheaded a few monsters and made gashes to others while the undead army jumped, poked, and killed monsters as well. She felt surprisingly good; mostly because she had the helmet but Valdis knew it was no time to get cocky.

Raye and Markus worked together greatly. Markus would shoot his arrows and Raye would attack any that got to close. Markus had taken three down with some arrow when noticed the problem. The monsters kept coming in, If only he could get the door blocked.

"We need to get the door block!" He told Raye who nodded her head as she killed a monster.

"Any idea's would be great!" She responded. Markus thought. The tunnels were all connected and in crisis they could close all of the doors. That's it he thought. He bet that the monsters in the control room didn't know about this yet. He pulled out the communicator Gaea had given everybody on board and whispered into it.

"Crisis alert close all doors." The affect happened almost immediately. The door closed and no more monsters came in the door. They were only left with 5o or so of them. Markus scowled as Raye took out another monster and told him to get his head in the game.

Larissa and Liam weren't having much luck. They had got separated and some monsters where leading Larissa to a cliff.

"Can't out smart us now daughter of Athena." A fury hissed. Larissa backed off unto the edge still wielding her weapons. There was no way she would be able to defeat all of them on her own. Larissa bit her lip trying to think of a plan. If she jumped she would mostly likely die but if she faced the monster she would get hurt or die.

The fury smirked at her. Was it possible for the fury to smirk? Larissa didn't get the chance to think of that because the Fury jumped forward making Larissa step back and off the cliff. Larissa closed her eyes expecting a terrible death but instead she didn't. Larissa opened her eyes and looked up to see no hand at all. Valdis. The invisible hands pulled Larissa up and onto the cliff.

"Thanks." Larissa said as Valdis took the helmet off and pointed her dark sword to the monsters.

"No problem, so am I going to kill these things alone or are you going to help me." Larissa smirked.

""I think I'll help." Larissa said taking out her weapons again. Valdis swiped her sword and killed the one monster while Larissa threw her knives at the Fury and the harpy.

Raye saw Larissa tumble over the edge of the cliff but was relieved when she saw Valdis pulled her up. It was a minute of distraction causing a monster to get to close and manage to throw its claws at her and leave a gash in her arm. Why did she always get hurt? Markus sensed her trouble and came to her aid by hitting his bow against the monsters head. The monster didn't die but backed up dizzy from the hard impact on its head.

"Are you okay?" Markus asked. Raye nodded as he took out the monster that hurt her.

"Are you sure you're losing a lot of blood?" Raye was getting paler by the moment and her purple shirt was turning darker where she had been hurt.

"I'll take that as a no." Markus grabbed her and shadow traveled them to the rock with the trident. He took off his jacket and tied it around her arm.

"Stay here." Markus traveled back and teamed up with Liam.

"Any ideas how to get out of here?" Liam asked as he took out a monster.

"We shadow travel to the rock, grab the trident and shadow travel to the bolt and shadow travel away." Markus answered.

"Won't that take a lot out of you?" Liam asked as Markus put an arrow threw a dracanae's heart.

"Valdis can shadow travel too but it's our only option." Was Markus's response. Liam nodded.

"On three we ru to Valdis and Larissa." Liam stated. Markus noded.

"One." Liam swung his axe and defeated and monster with strange fangs.

"Two." Markus took out 2 furies with 2 arrows.

"Three." Markus and Liam sprinted over to them and grabbed onto the girls and shadow travled to the rock. Markus grabbed the trident and shadow traveled to the room where the bolt was. By then he was a little dizzy.

Larissa sat Raye down while Liam grabbed the bolt.

"Do you think you can take Liam and Larissa while I take Raye." Markus asked. Valdis nodded.

"Where to?"

"Um.. some miles away there is a forest were we can spend the rest of the night. Valdis nodded and took a hold on Liam and Larissa's arms while Markus helped Raye up.

"See yah soon." Valdis shadowed traveled them to a clearing in the woods where Liamsay down and sighed.

"Where finally finished!" He yelled to no one as Markus and Raye appeared suddenly. Raye looked extremely pale. Markus sat her down while Larissa and Valdis came over to help her get a bandaged on. They took off the jacket and her shirt which they made Markus and Liam turn around for. Then banaged her up and gave her another shirt from her bag that Markus had retrieved when he helped her escape earlier. Larissa then dug out some nectar and ambrosia and gave to Raye.

"As long it is okay with you guys I think I'm going to return this to my father now, have Starr from camp deliver the bolt to Zeus, she's his daughter and make sure you give her the message to tell to Zeus that Gaea stole the Bolt, ask Chiron what to do about the trident." Markus, Larissa and Liam nodded. Valdis then went over to her bag and took out some money and gave it to Markus

"Airplane ticket if you want." She stated and gave a sigh before disappearing.

"So now what?" Larissa asked.

"We'll camp out until morning when we go to the airport." Markus answered. The four demigods sighed and lied down to get a well-deserved sleep.
