Marion had tears falling down her cheeks and these weren't just ordinary tears they were Golden Tears
"MARION" I shouted

She had severe burns, With a deep cut on her neck , from the skeletal warrior.
"It's gonna be fine Mar" I said
"Nops, you cant heal her, No Mortal in fact can heal her"
Standing behind us was Ares

I was so desperate that despite embarrassing myself before all Gods on Olympus, I could do anything right now, I just wanted my sister alive, and on top of that, There was Aunt May who could read my emotions.

"Lord Ares, we bring before you your shield and this beautiful scarf. Please heal my sister and tell us about Percy's Mother" I requested him
"Pretty Clever boy, but I am gonna tell you one more thing, incase you have forgotten it I am the God of War, not of Sympathy, give me things and lets finish off the deal"
"How Can you be so heartless? Your Girlfriend Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love!"
"She is but I am not, now boy you don't want to see me angry"
"Wait a second Ares" Annabeth said

"The deal was we would give you your shield and in return you would give us the information on Percy's mother. It was not that we would give you the scarf."
"Daughter of Athena"
"Yep a very Capable one" Marion added
"See kids, I have a reputation to keep there. I don't want the Scarf, is pretty useless" Ares roared

"What if I tell you this is all recorded? Yep , I know Morse Code.. Hepheastus daily. Hepheastus would love this, but I guess someone very beautiful will not" Annabeth said
"It is not recorded, Don't fool me kid, morse code is not a movie maker"
"It certainly isn't but this is" Percy said pointing towards the camera on the ceiling
" I'll simply destroy it"
"Well you may, but the other ten of them we have "Annabeth said pointing towards her pocket
"You stinky little Mortals, you are gonna pay for it, give me the scarf, I'll" He pointed towards Marion
"And boy , your Mother is still alive
And then he vanished away

Marion was healed
"Howw.. did you guys" I was in awe
"Well, like Marion said I am a daughter of Athena a very capable one, Ares, can do something like this. And I always keep a camera on in my pocket , um I lie to click some architectural buildings, my, Dad gave me, I can keep it on anytime only charge in 30 days" Annabeth pointed towards her pocket
"Marion how did you get hurt"
"A , I used Artemis' blessing.. we came across a Giant dragon with many heads, he was fire breathing, I had to talk to him, I got half of his heads in fight with the other half, but it wasn't enough with the skeletal warriors so I had to call some help."
"She is superb! She called a herd of water throwing monsters and shouted like them" Percy added

" But Thats" Annabeth gasped

" I know, but we had no option"

We told them about Annabeth and my adventure
"So what's the next place?"I asked Percy
"Lotus Casino and Hotel, San Francisco"
"Its gonna be a long journey" I said
" Yes, and we need to reach there today As Zeus knows where we are now" Annabeth said"
"At least its good to know that Ms. Jackson is still alive" Marion said
"Hey I need to check if Aunt May is okay.."

Annabeth nodded and gave me prism and a golden drachma
"Oh Iris Goddess of Rainbow, show me Margret Carson, Daughter of Athena Camp Halfblood"
Suddenly I could see Aunt May, sitting on a tree with tears in her eyes, she had several bruised and one deep cut on her hand
"AUNT MAY!"I shouted
"Marion Robin Anne Percy Oh My God! Are you alright!"
"We are fine Aunt May"
"Oh My Gods! Marion are you okay? And Robin Hawk Carson lately you are being killed a lot aren't you hahaha"

"Oh Aunt May! We are fine we are gonna go San Francisco – Lotus Hotel today"
"Listen everyone that place is very hyp-"
Iris Message was cut

"I guess next time we'll take Iris Message Premium" I grumbled
We took a taxi and then reached to a very fancy building- LOTUS HOTEL AND CASINO
"Welcome! You are very Lucky, you get free stay, now go enjoy!" Said the receptionist
"I think you have got someone wrong"I said
"No! Go Enjoy!"
We went towards the casino
" Would you like our signature dish?"
