"Hey guys, has Percy turned the boat around to go look for Ginny yet?" asked Hermione's muffled voice from the staircase.
"Wait" Percy said "You want me to leave right now"
"Well…" Ron started "Yes"
"Yeah, maybe you should head back" Annabeth said shooting Thalia a frown
Thalia put her hands up in mock surrender "I could join you"
"You're not going with him, Thalia" Annabeth warned
Thalia laughed "I was joking, all the hunters are looking for Artemis's limit"
"Why?" asked Annabeth
"A member of the hunters wants to date" Thalia started "We need to find a way to make her an exception" she turned to look at Percy "Sorry about earlier Percy"
"No problem!" Percy laughed graciously "Just don't surprise me like that again!"
"I can come" Rachel and Harry said at the same time
Percy looked between them "I'm not going to turn the boat back so I don't know how you two could accompany me"
"How are you getting back then?" asked Harry
"Pegasi" Percy said
"What?" asked Harry
"Horses with wings" Percy said shrugging
"Percy I need to talk" Annabeth said looking between Percy, Rachel and Harry
"Ok" Percy said following Annabeth
"You should let Rachel go" Thalia said looking at Harry "She needs to get back to camp. Who knows, we might have a war coming up. Besides I'm sure Percy could find Ginny if you gave him a picture"
Harry considered for a second "Can't he take us both. Then me and Percy can split, more chance of finding Ginny"
"That's a good idea" said Hermione
"Yeah" said Nico, finally talking
"Decided then" Thalia said
"That's only if Annabeth lets Percy go at all" said Nico, looking worriedly down the staircase that Percy and Annabeth disappeared down.
"Hey where are those gods" asked Ron
"Meeting…Olympus" said Rachel "That's what I came to tell you guys, there might be a war coming. There's something older than Kronos out there, and I'm not sure what it is"
"A titan?" asked Nico
"Much worse" shivered Rachel "much, much worse"
