Hello world! Sorry this chapter is a bit late, but like I said before I am not good at action scenes. They take me twice as long to write. Also, as you will soon see, this is a very complicated chapter. And haha the restaurant my parent's own caught on fire this week. I'm only laughing because no one got seriously hurt, but still this week was a mess. Nothing really down damage, but I had to spend a whole two days helping cleaning up the whole place. Not fun. I much rather have been writing. Anyways this is a great chapter. PERCABETH! Sorry I don't know where that came from.

HADESwhoshouldbeKingofthegods, Can we please just start over? I just out of a long battle with reviewer and I am not looking for another one. I'm sorry if I upset you somehow. The previous reviewer kept sending me inappropriate and threatening PMs over the course of three months so I hope you understand why I am a little sensitive about the subject. But I won't pretend to know you so long as you won't pretend to know me. Yes, my story is called Mark of Athena but that doesn't have to be the main focus of my whole story. I am just following RR's pattern of saving the title for the climax. AS you will see in this chapter and the next one, Time's lost child has nothing to do with Kronos. I was never planning for it to. I was just using my word choice as a red herring so my prophecy wasn't so obvious. I know you don't mean harm, but please reframe from my readers mindless fangirls. I just don't want fight. I only have a few more chapters left so if you really hate my story don't read it.
percyjackson978, Yes and also to remind the readers. The prophecy was so many chapters ago, I wanted to make sure it was fresh in everyone's mind while it came true.
Suzu, YES!
Lady LaLa (I really like your name) Welcome to the party! I have a feeling RR isn't going to do that much with Reyna so I thought it was a good idea to write a story about her before the canon closes the window. I'm not offended at all, I know my grammar stinks. No, English is my first language but I have a serious speech impairment that makes me unable to sound things out. In my mind I am saying it correctly but when it comes out it wrong. It's extremely frustrating because I have to memorize all the rules and spelling. Writing this is actually part of my therapy. I do have a really good beta, but she already started recently. I am planning on going back and trying to fix my earlier chapters. If you ever see a mistake put it in your review or PM because I always go back and fix it.
MinervaAthena1235, yes that is what it means. Parlez-vous français?
annabeth12, Yes, Piper is up next.
IzzyBookLover98, I don't like hurting my character unless I am in a bad mood. I did kill the dogs. But I will think about it.
rlb 190, !
annabeth12, Right 30 or 31 but we will see
Loving this story, Thank you for your concern, but I don't like discussing other people's matters with other people. So long as you follow Fanfiction's rules for writing reviews I will not delete you. I love CC, and I always listen to it, but there is a line when it comes to the language that should be use. I am going to address who voted against Annabeth at some point, but I will tell you this it wasn't Percy.
Ally, Annabeth is a really hard character to get right for everyone because everyone has their own opinion of her because she is so popular. Annabeth is one of my favorite characters so I try to do her right but you have to give me more information on why you think she feels different for you if you want me to fix it. I disagree with you about Ella. I think her importance will only go as far as the prophecy because there are already too many important characters. RR uses the word important loosely. Two years ago at comic con he told me that Thalia and Nico are going to be really important in the new series.
PercyJacksonFan, Piper is really hard for me to write for, but I try to work on that. Piper has the next chapter.
Shellyrocks82, Piper Pov is the next chapter.
RomanGreekDemi, thanks and I will tell her, and I am a girl
Lovey143, like I said this is a jeyna story. I think I have a lot of dialog. I need the long paragraphs to describe the action. I can't do that in dialog.
harryhas2424, thank you :D I am planning on going back to fix those mistakes once I find time
Jackson2750, Please don't kill yourself. There are more important things in life than my fan fiction. I haven't deleted anyone else's review. Your name doesn't seem familiar to me. Are you sure you posted it? What chapter did you review and what did you say? I have over a thousand review so it is very easy to lose one.
Again sorry for the lateness, I hope the perabethness and the longness of this chapterness will fill you with happiness. Lot's of nesses.
PERCY
Percy's heart was pounding at like a billion miles per hour. A erupting volcano can get you up eight hundred seventy-three thousand mph, maybe nine hundred thousand on a particularly bad day, but only a girlfriend doing something extremely danger just to keep you out of harm's way can get you up to these speeds.
Gaea knew that they were starting to stop the eruption. She already sent a dragon to try to stop them, so who knows what else she has up her sleeves, that is if she had sleeves.
Leo landed the Argo II on far edge of the city as far away from Mount Diablo as possible that was still walking distance from the city. Most of the Romans had already crossed the river, but there was still a line of people walking towards the bridge. That was where Percy spotted Ella, Grover and Tyson.
"Where are the girls?" Percy asked them when he approached.
"They went down the small dark smelly place," answered Tyson looking at him with his big worrying brown eye.
"What?" blurted Jason.
"Reyna led them down into the sewers," translated Grover.
Leo wrinkled his nose. "Why did she do that for?"
"To stop the boom mountain," said Tyson.
Jason angrily shook his head. "One day that girl is going to meet her match, and it's not going to be pretty."
"Time's lost child will succeed, "Ella tweeted. Her words were meant to comfort him, but her metaphor brought more anxiety than relief. It took Percy a moment to absorb what the harpy was getting at.
"Wait, "Time's lost child" that was in the prophecy," stated Frank.
"Are you referring to Reyna?" Jason asked carefully. He seemed surprised by Ella's intuition too.
"Yes," she chirped like it was as simply as stating that the sky is blue. "With love by her side, time's lost child never fails."
Percy usually just let prophecies unravel themselves. That was easiest. What Percy read as meaningless rhymes, Ella interprets as real statements of the future.
"So that's good right?" Leo asked looking from Jason to Percy. "Reyna is going to succeed."
"Only if love is by her side," Percy thought but he reframed from saying it out loud for Jason's sake.
"We need to find them," Jason mumbled before walking away. This talk about Reyna seemed to put Jason in a very moody place. Frank quickly hurried after him without a word, which left Grover giving Percy a confused look.
"Look Grover I have to go find Annabeth and the other girls," Percy explained, "Can you go back to the Argo II and make sure nothing bad happens to it?"
"Sure thing man," Grover nodded understandingly.
"Thanks." Percy patted him on the shoulder "Tyson, I think you and Ella should go with him too."
"Ok brother," Tyson smiled his toothy smile. "Come on, Ella we will go protect the ship now."
Percy turned to go find his Roman counterpart.
"And Percy," Grover added before Percy could leave. "Be careful."
It was strange seeing the streets so empty. The place was a ghost town, literally. Only the Lares remained, but they are already dead so Percy guessed they didn't mind a little flaming ash.
"So, Jason is saving Reyna, Percy got Annabeth, and Changling has Hazel," Leo summed up. "Why don't I get a hot girl to save?"
"There's Piper," suggested Frank.
"I said hot girl," Leo joked. "Nah me and Piper would never work out. She hits me too much."
Jason snorted loudly at the mention of Leo and Piper getting together.
"Can we please focus?" pleaded Percy. His angst was growing with each passing second he wasn't with Annabeth. "So they are in the sewer? Do we just find a hole and jump in?" He scanned the streets for a manhole cover.
"That would be like finding a needle in a haystack. There are thousands of miles of pipes down there. It's practically a city in itself," replied Jason.
"Then what do we do?" Percy asked.
Jason just shook his head. "If you had Argentum and Aurum I would be able to contact her but-," he voice trailed off.
"Look for a big monster?" suggested Leo. "Gaea is going to try to stop them, right?"
"Well, there's three," stated Frank. Percy whipped around to see three huge figures blocking their path.
They were sitting abroad three horse that appeared to be made of storm clouds. Percy believed the creatures were called Anemoi thuellai or Venti in Latin. But it was what sat in the saddles that really grabbed his attention.
Ridding aboard the Venti were three dark skinned men dressed in all black, but when Percy looked at them he could defiantly tell that something was missing. It took Percy a minute to notice that the thing that was missing was their heads. They wore a horrible 80s V neck shirts, but for good reason because their faces were located on their chests. The horrible position of their eyes didn't stop them from wielding very pointy weapons. Hasta spears, basically a stick with gigantic thorns, were pointed directly at them as the wind spirit horses pawed at the ground.
"I think we should run now," Percy commented slowly but he quickly realized that he was the only one still standing there. The horses charged.
Percy raced to catch up with the others.
"Where's Ichabad Crane when you need him?" cried Leo as he ran through the Romans streets.
Jason led them down an alley way that was too narrow for the horses to pass through.
"Blemmyes," Jason huffed while he tried to catch his breath.
"What? They don't even have faces, how can they have ache?" Percy blurted.
Jason rolled his eyes. "They are an ancient tribe from Africa. There are probably more of them. Don't know what they are doing with the Venti though, I guess they are on the same time now."
"Do you think the girls are alright?" Frank asked.
"Horses can't climb ladders. They are safe in the sewers," replied Jason.
A high-pitched whinnying came from the opposite end of the alley. They were now surrounded.
"Ok, let's split up. Frank will come with me and Leo will go with Jason. We find the girls and finish this thing, ok?" Percy felt weird being the one taking charge, but Jason wasn't stepping up at the moment. They all nodded.
Percy and Frank ducked underneath the horse's legs and took off down the street. He knew they couldn't out run a horse, especially a wind made one, so while he ran Percy tried to think of a plan. Then the explosions started.
"Who's shooting at us?" Frank shouted while loud booms exploded around them.
"It's coming from underneath us," Percy yelled back. He could feel the vibrations of the blows underneath his feet. He wondered what the girls were up to but he tried to focus on the situation at hand.
He and Frank rounded the corner and entered into one of the many mini forums that covered the city. Percy jumped onto the ledge of the fountain and prepared himself as the sounds of horse hoofs approach them. The second they came around Percy threw a ton of water at them.
Just as he thought, the cloud horses instantly dissolved into horse puddles when the water made contact. The Blemmyes landed flat on their backs and wiggled around like overturned turtles.
"Come on Percy, let's get out of here," shouted Frank walking over the manhole cover in the center of the street. But the second Frank kicked off the metal cover white smoke started pouring out. At first Percy thought it was just after dust from the explosion but then he took in a deep breath and flashes of illusions filled his mind. He saw his step father holding his mother as she cried. There was Camp Half-Blood; he saw the panic as his friends discovered his disappearance. Then he saw Annabeth arguing with Grover. Enormous amounts of guilt filled his gut.
He could hear Frank calling his name from somewhere far away. Frank must have put the cover back because he images suddenly stopped.
Percy sat down on the ground and allowed the clean air clear his mind.
"What was that?" Frank said wiping his face.
"I think it was Mist," Percy answered. The smoke gave him the same feelings as Mist, but he had never accounted Mist that could create illusions that strong before. But he had to recover quickly because the now headless and horseless men found their way to their feet and were now tossing their extremely pointy spears at them. Percy jumped to his feet and dodged before he was shish kebab.
Percy pulled out Riptide and knocked the second spear out of the air. It wasn't actually the world's most exciting fight. The Blemmyes had their eyes on their chest so they lacked peripheral vision, not to mention to ability to turn their head. To tell the truth they were much scarier on horseback. Once they had thrown their spears they were unarmed so Percy guessed that weren't very smart either.
Percy thrust Riptide through one their mouths on its chest and the beast dissolved into dust. Next to him the other Blemmy also dissolved as Frank stabbed it.
"I hope Hazel and the other girls are alright," Frank commented. "Do you think they are still down there?" He nodded towards the manhole.
Percy shook his head. If they were he doubted they could get out with the Mist messing with their minds, but they couldn't go down to rescue them because the Mist would also affect them. They needed Jason to clean the air.
Suddenly a burst of lightning blasted from a nearby street.
"Was that Jason?" Frank stammered recovering from the shock.
Percy watched as another spark of lightning shot into the sky. He noticed that the light had a bluish tint to it. "No, I think that was Thalia." Blue lightning was Thalia's trademark. But the next lightning bolt that light up the sky was yellow, so Percy wasn't so sure.
As more lightning filled the sky Percy grew more nervous. "Let's go," Percy called to Frank and ran towards the source.
Percy was almost electrocuted when he came around the corner. He held out his arm to prevent Frank from running into the sparks.
It was Thalia and Jason and for some reason they were fighting, viciously. Each time their weapons met a burst of lightning erupted from them. He had no idea what was going on but Percy really didn't think this was the time for sibling rivalry.
"Go away! I don't need you!" Thalia shouted which also didn't make sense at all. Percy thought Thalia was getting along well with her brother. She was using her old spear against him which was also was strange because as a hunter she would use her bow or knife. Jason did his best to keep up with her blows, but it was clear to Percy that Thalia had the edge. Mostly because Jason didn't want to do any harm to her.
"Hazel!" Frank yelled. Out of the corner of his eye Percy could see Hazel struggling with Leo. He allowed Frank to work out their situation while he focused on Zeus's children.
Percy called their names to try getting their attention, but they were both too focus on their fight to notice. Jason was struggling to keep the sharp end of her spear away from his face.
"Leave me alone," Thalia grumbled. "You always ruin everything."
Percy wanted to help but they were moving so fast it was a lot like jumping into a game of Double Dutch. When Jason tripped over the bottom of her spear Percy saw his chance. Using Riptide he stopped Thalia's spear from stabbing Jason. That was when Percy noticed Thalia's eyes. Her electric blue eyes were completed hazed over by swirling white clouds just like Mist. The girls must have inhaled so much Mist while they down in the sewers that the effects weren't wearing off.
"Thalia?" She answered him by driving her spear towards his chest. Percy jumped out of the way and swung Riptide around which she easily dodged. He was trying to be careful not to do her any harm but he quickly realized he should be more worried about himself.
"I hate you," Thalia growled. With each word she spoke she swung her spear around just like Percy was a piñata she was trying to crack open. "Why can't you just leave me and Jason alone!"
Percy ducked down as the electric spear passed over his head. Then he stopped the spear in midair with Riptide. With his free hand Percy tried pull Thalia's weapon out of her hands which turned out to be a huge mistake. The instant Percy's hand touch metal an electric shock passed through his whole body. His bones were still vibrating by the time he was blown free from the fight.
"Percy, are you alright?" Jason called to him. Percy was pretty sure his hair was standing straight up, but he was still breathing so he nodded. Jason offered him his hand and helped him up. "I think Thalia believes she is talking to our mom."
Thalia sent another strike of lightning towards them but Jason absorbed it with his sword. "You better let me handle this. Go find the other girls," Jason told Percy before jumping back into the fight. Percy had to agree. Water and lightning did not mix well. He brushed down his hair and went looking for Annabeth.
That was when he came upon a very odd scene. Leo was being attacked by Hazel, but it wasn't what you would think. Hazel had her arms thrown around him and was squeezing him like a two year old with a kitten.
"Oh Sammy I knew you would find me," Hazel cooed as she rubbed her face against his.
"Poor Hazel," Percy thought. The Mist was making her think she was back with her old friend.
Leo was trying to push her off himself without much luck. Percy would have thought Leo would like having a girl throw herself onto him, but it seemed to be more love than he could handle.
"Hazel, could you please get off of me?" Leo asked nicely. He managed to get one of his arms freed but Hazel was clinging pretty tight to his other arm. "Don't just stand there. Get this girl off of me," he growled when he saw Percy.
"Hazel. That's Leo remember?" said Percy. He noticed that her eyes were glazed over like Thalia's were, so she probably couldn't hear him. Together, he and Frank managed to peel Hazel off of Leo.
"I knew this would happen, the Roman girls just can't resist the heat," Leo smirked patting himself down.
"No, no, no," Hazel screamed. "Don't take me away!" Percy wondered who she thought they were. She kicked and pulled at their grips trying to free herself.
"Hazel, stop it," Frank mumbled. "It's your friends, Percy and Frank. We aren't going to hurt you." But the daughter of Pluto wasn't in a listening mood. She elbowed both of them in the stomach and threw herself on top on Leo.
Leo didn't have any time to prepare himself or run away so he was tackled down to the ground. Hazel was going for the kill this time around. She planted a big kiss right on his lips.
Frank's face turned bright red which gave his already round face the appearance of a ripe tomato. "HAZEL!" It wasn't a pretty sight. Percy did know whether to help Frank pull her off Leo or cover his eyes.
"Ayúdame!" Leo shouted when Hazel finally broke away for air. "La chica es loco!" Percy could hear the panic in his voice as he tried to crawl away.
Frank grabbed Hazel around the waist and lifted her off Leo. He refused to let her down no matter how much she screamed and kicked.
"Please. Stop it. I don't want to go!" she cried as her feet dangled in the air. Percy couldn't help but to feel sorry for her.
Percy helped Leo to his feet. "Wow," Leo said trying recover. "These Romans don't hold back do they? No wonder why Jason wants a Roman girl." Percy gave him a disappointed glare because Jason was too busy fighting his sister to do so, and went to check on Hazel.
Behind him he could still hear the thunderous noises of lightning when their weapons met. They had to find a way to wake the girls up from their delusions and fast. Percy was looking for something they could use when he spotted Annabeth curled up on the staircase leading up to one of the Roman houses.
Percy approached Annabeth with extreme caution because he had no way of knowing what the Mist was making Annabeth relive. It reminded him of the time when Annabeth convinced Percy to let her hear the Siren's song, and she fought him to stay with Luke.
"Annabeth?" he said slowly as he knelt down next to her. She looked asleep except for the fact her eyes were still open. The Mist circled around in her stormy grey eyes like the eye of a hurricane. "Annabeth, its Percy." He brushed back her hair out of her eyes. It was scaring him seeing her like this, so empty inside.
He sat her up but her body was limp that he had to rest her head on his shoulder. Percy wondered what dark place in her memories she was visiting to make her act like this. "Come on Annabeth. Talk to me."
"I—I don't," she murmured so softly that Percy could hard hear her.
"Talk a bit louder I can't understand you," Percy told her.
But she continued to mumble to herself. "I— I don't—I don't where he is."
"I don't know what you are talking about, Annabeth." She wasn't making any sense.
"They all stopped looking. They think that we don't need him anymore because we found Jason. I don't want to stop looking. I still need him." She started to cry.
"Annabeth, I'm right here," Percy said trying to calm her down. "I'm not going anywhere."
"I thought after we defeated Kronos that everything would be alright. That we would simply be together, but we're not," Annabeth muttered. "It's all monsters, prophecies, and the end of world again."
"I know. I thought that too," admitted Percy. "It's so unfair that we have to risk everything again. But if we don't, who will?"
"We got lucky just losing Charlie, Silena and Michael. But this opponent is stronger, there is no way we will all make it out alive," Annabeth cried. "Percy and I have been friends for so long. I'm afraid we are going to end up like Thalia and Luke."
"That's not going to happen," objected Percy but he would be lying if he said that Annabeth's words didn't get to him. This was worst than before.
Annabeth wiped her face. "We are already growing apart."
"What?" he exclaimed. "No, we're not."
"Percy likes the Roman camp more than Camp Half-Blood. I saw it in his eyes when gave us the tour." Annabeth murmured. Percy thought back to when he gave them the tour. Did he really like this camp more?
"Maybe there is a part of me that likes Camp Jupiter more," Percy admitted. "But if anything it is because of the future it could bring for both of us. We could really have a life here."
"This isn't our home," Annabeth countered. Maybe she was finally realizing who she was talking to. "Camp Half-Blood is where we met. It's where all our friends are. His mom lives in New York, close to camp. I just don't understand how you could turn your back on all of that."
"This isn't about sides, Annabeth. We are all part of the same family. They are us," Percy explained.
Annabeth just shook her head. "It's not the same." It was a phrase Percy kept hearing over and over again. First from Reyna, then from Frank, and now Annabeth, was there really no hope for this quest? Maybe Hera was crazy for bring the Romans and the Greeks back together.
"Look Annabeth, I don't know how this is all going to end, but I do know this one thing. No matter what happens or where we end up, we will be together. Spoiler alert," Percy smiled at her. "I love you Wise Girl."
Then he kissed her. He kissed her with all his hopes and dreams he has for them. And when they finally broke apart the sparkle had return to her eyes.
"Percy?" She seemed pleasantly surprised to see him. The sounds of Thalia's and Jason's lightning fight and Hazel's yelling match with Frank and Leo attracted her attention. "How?"
"It's a long story," Percy stated. "Just go with it." He lifted her to her feet and wiped the tears off her face. He looked back at Jason who was starting to slow down.
"Thalia!" Annabeth shouted. "Stop it! He's your brother."
"She can't hear you," Percy explained. He held on to her arm tightly, afraid that she would try to intervene.
"Let me go! Let me go," screamed Hazel kicking and clawing at Frank's arms. Then she bit down hard on his hand and he had no choice but to let her go. With a loud thump, Hazel fell to the ground. Leo raced behind Percy and Annabeth for protection.
"Sammy! Sammy it's me. Hazel," Hazel called as chased Leo around them. "Stop playing, Sammy."
"Who's Sammy?" Annabeth asked.
"Her old boyfriend," Percy answered. "Just go with it."
Hazel leap between Percy and Annabeth and grabbed Leo's arm. "Gotcha you."
Out of reflex, Leo set a ball of fire out of his hands when Hazel surprised him. Percy grabbed Annabeth and Hazel and pulled them down to the ground before they were burned. The flaming ball flew through the air and busted in front of Thalia.
"Thalia!" Annabeth screamed and ran to her. Percy found Riptide's hilt just in case Thalia decided Annabeth was also someone she hated.
Thalia sat on the ground and rubbed the soot out of her eyes. "Annabeth? What happen?"
"I'm not sure," Annabeth replied. She looked back Percy for an answer.
"Just more of Gaea's tricks," he said as he walked over to check on Jason.
Finally released from their endless battle, Jason collapsed to his knees and tried to catch his breath.
"Jason!" Thalia shouted when he noticed his hard breathing. She ran to him. "Are you alright?"
"You— are— a— damn— good— fighter," Jason said between breaths.
"Yeah, well don't you forget it, baby brother," Thalia smirked. She and Percy pulled him to his feet.
"Um guys, some help please?" Frank called. He once again was attempting to hold down Hazel as fought to tackle Leo.
"I got this," Thalia stated. She walked over to them and placed one of her fingers on Hazel's shoulders. Hazel shuddered as an electric current passed through her body. She collapsed back into Frank's arms.
"Are you alright Hazel?" Percy asked.
Hazel blinked a few times and looked up at Frank. "Yeah, I think so. Hi, Frank."
"Welcome back Hazel," Frank smiled.
"Was I kissing someone?"
"Ummm—" Frank didn't seem to know how to break it to her.
"You're welcome," Leo winked at her as he leaned against the wall.
Percy had never heard of anyone actually dying of embarrassment, but he was pretty sure at that exact moment Hazel was pretty close to being the first. She buried her face into Frank's chest.
"The giants can crush me now," Hazel whimpered.
"Where's Piper and Reyna?" Jason asked. Now that the craziness had calmed down, it was clear that two important members of their team were missing.
"They were here," Thalia stated looking around.
"Oh—" Annabeth hummed.
"What it is Annabeth?" Percy asked.
"We were down in the tunnel trying to hook up the sewer lines with the volcano." Annabeth said slowly as her memory returned to her, "A domino effect of explosions, each one setting off the next one, and something went wrong."
"The tunnel collapse," continued Thalia. "But it wasn't us, it was something up above. We were going to check it out together, I think."
"And?" said Jason.
"I think Piper charmed us," Annabeth answered. "We left without them. There was a lot of dust. I thought it was from the explosions. Then I woke up here."
"You left Piper and Reyna down there by themselves?" Jason growled.
"It's not like I had a choice," Annabeth counted. "She made me."
"What about Reyna?" remarked Jason.
"I'm not sure. It's all a blur," admitted Annabeth.
Jason growled a frustrated sighed. Percy didn't blame him. Two of the people his cares most about in this world were in danger, and there wasn't much he could do about it.
"What do you think they are doing?" Percy asked. Reyna was a trickery girl, but she was also brilliant. She must have had something up her sleeve.
Annabeth shrugged at him. "I have no idea. But the whole place is filled with Mist. They must not be thinking clearly now."
"They are so going to kill each other," commented Leo.
"That's it," Jason stated. "I'm going to go get them."
"We'll go with you," said Percy.
"No, Percy," objected Annabeth. "We can't think clearly down there."
"But Jason—"
"I can only make enough air for myself," Jason replied. Percy knew Jason was lying but he let him get away with it because he knew Jason wanted to handle this by himself.
"Then I'll go with you," said Thalia. Percy could tell from Jason's face that he didn't like that idea.
"Let him go Thalia. We need to go find out what made the tunnel collapsed anyways," Percy replied.
"Alright," Thalia sadly agreed. She could clearly read his brother's face.
Then right on cue a very familiar voice starting screaming for help. "Help! Help! Romans do your duty! Help!"
"That's Terminus," noted Frank.
"Go find out what he yelling about. I'll get Piper and Reyna," Jason stated. His tone made it clear that it was more of an order than a request.
"Fine," Percy replied. He was just glad Jason was stepping up. He really didn't want to be the only one making the decision on their quest. "Just be careful."
"And make sure no one rips off anyone else's head," Leo commented.
Jason rolled his eyes and left.
As the ran to check on the border god, Percy heard Frank whisper to Hazel, "My money is on Reyna."
SQUEE!
Next chapter will be in Piper's POV. There is only five (maybe six) chapter left!
Please review
