"Hello Trish," Bores said.
I scowled as he floated up our way. "Want do you want?" I growled.
"Just a little favor?" He said innocently.
"Like what?" Nico said standing up.
"This does not concern you son of Hades," Boreas snarled.
"Well, he's here right now so yes, it does concern him," I said putting my hands on my hips.
"Fine. So my daughter, Khione, you might be familiar with her. Anyways, she was captured by some giants. If I heard correctly, you are extremely powerful and this should be a piece of cake for you, so I need you to retrieve her. Oh and you can take your little friend there too. And you do this, I'll consider not going after you like Nemesis suggested," he then disappeared.
"Augh! I hate the gods!" Nico yelled. Thunder rumbled in the distance.
"Oh, shut it! You know you guys like to crap on our parties!" I yelled at the sky.
"Crap on our parties?" Nico repeated confused.
"It's just an expression my dad used to say," I explained.
We decided to go back down to the apartment to tell the others what happened.
"He wants you to do what?" Sally yelled.
"Yeah, he just popped up and told me to go rescue his daughter. On the plus side, if I do this I'll have one less Immortal after me," I said.
"The nerve of this guy," Nico growled.
"I know! Making our sis do his dirty work!" The Stoll's yelled.
Coral was curled up to me. I heard her whisper, "Please don't go."
"I don't want to," I whispered into her ear, "But if I can do this, that's one less Immortal against me." I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head lightly.
"So, are you going to do it or not?" Will asked.
"I have to don't I. I mean if I don't I'll have one more Immortal after me," I said.
"Well when do you have to leave?" Sally asked.
"I'm not sure, soon as possible I would think," I said.
"So that's settled then," Connor said, "Trish and Nico will go on this stupid quest thing, while me, Travis, Will Coral, and Sally worry our butts off."
"Sounds good to me," Travis said.
"Fine," Will grumbled.
Coral looked up at me. "Please don't leave me," she pleaded.
I felt guilty. Not just because of the way Coral was looking at me, but also because I knew I would break her heart if I left on this quest. I had a huge decision to make.
