OK on with the quest of the Shield. Please review and help me out with ideas, because it takes me a long time to think about what's gonna happen and I can't post as often. I usually just make the story up on the spot. Here's the story. I had to look at maps of Canada to do this chapter LOL

All POJ and HOO references belong to

Percy's POV

We continued driving west after we left Ontario. I didn't want to press Eythira, because she didn't tell us the exact location we were heading to. Nico was the one who had brought her back. I know some of her story. She was attacked by hellhounds and dracaena. Her mother was a descendant of a daughter of Nyx, and There's scent was very strong. She got buried in the icy cold place for days, thrown into the storm by Echidna before Nico recqued her.

Flashback(Yes finally)

Nico pulled me aside before I left on the quest.

"Look Percy, I don't want you to tell Eythira this, but keep her same on the quest. She's my sister and I don't want to lose her, especially when she's going back to that place". Nico told me.

"I'll protect her, Nico, I don't want her to be like Bianca." I said solemnly. Nico nodded and gave me a dark arrow. "This arrow, use it on Echidna should you meet her. It will give her a great deal of pain for what she did." I nodded and bid Nico farewell.

Present Time

"Stop", Eythira said, and Annabeth stopped the car. We were in British Columbia. I tapped Ethan on the shoulder.

"Wake up, we're here." Ethan sat up and looked out the window. There were very few people on the streets. We got out and wrapped out winter coats around us. We had picked them up somewhere in Ontario.

"We're in my hometown.", Eythira said. "You guys go get some stuff. I'll go look around." She looked like she didn't want to elaborate, so I wrapped my arms around Annabeth and kissed her on the mouth before walking away.

Elrond POV

We started walking before we got on the Roman van and started driving Southeast. Frank drove with Hazel shotgun while me and Crystal sat in the back. It was clear we were uncomfortable with each other, and we sat one opposite sides, looking out the window.

"So, uh, you guys know each other?", Hazel asked us.

"We just met," I answered. I looked at my sword, Nighzer. It was pitch black and it felt just right in my hands. We drove south until we stopped for a snack. Frank and Hazel went to buy something and they left me and Crystal behind.

Crystal was staring up at the sky. It wasn't like I couldn't stand to be around her, but she's a hunter so I should probably stay away. She might shoot me like the hunters always do when they see males. Like they're the dominant race and should treat us like rats or something.

"Hey", she said. "Know why they put us on this quest?"

"I think there's this other demi-primordial on the other quest. Reyna was speaking to a guy called Percy Jackson."

She got up and walked over to me. I looked at her face. It was really pretty. I shook myself. What are you thinking about Elrond! You have a mission to complete! She threw a bottle of water.

"How was your life being a demi-primordial? I didn't get attacked by monsters, like the others said."

"Weird. I get out of school to go home when I get chased by my coach yelling about tasty dinner and whatnot. Then, a sword appeared and it cut the guys head off. Yeah, totally surprising."

"You got a nicer life than me at least."

"Why are you talking to me? I thought you hated males like the others did."

She turned away. "I don;t hate you guys, just my uncle. He was a bastard that liked to beat me up everyday." Hazel and Frank returned, arm in arm. He gave me a bag of fried chicken.

"Eat up, you look kinda skinny."he told me. I glared at him and said,

"I'm not skinny! You're just a bit bigger than me!" I grumbled at Frank. Hazel laughed and Crystal giggled. I looked at her incredulously. Seriously? Are demi-primordial children supposed to act like her?

I sensed something shady about this place. It seemed evil for some reason.

"Do you guys feel anything unnatural?" I asked.

Crystal looked at me and said, "Now that you've mentioned it, it does seem like something is-" The ground burst open and burning figures crawled out.

Little children, survive the horrors of hell!" The figures were literally on fire and Crystal looked pale. They looked half dead. The damned souls in hell I thought. I took out Nighzer and Crystal took out her sword. Hazel drew her pilum and Frank drew back an arrow. I summoned 5 shadows that attacked the figures, slicing them into chunks of burned flesh. I swung my blade and shot a slice of shadows at the demons. Crystal slashed at one and shot beams of light at the damned souls, completely destroying them.

"Arion!" Hazel cried. A horse appeared in 5 seconds. How the hell….A demon threw a burning bone at me and I sliced through another. There was a lot. How many damned souls were under this hill I didn;t know, but there was way too much for us to take care of.

Crystal suddenly sprouted wings and flew up. Then she started shooting lights beams below. One almost struck me and I felt how dangerous it was.

"Hey!" I yelled. "Don;t shoot at us, shoot them at the moles because I'm not one of them!"

The statement of random and I had no idea where it came from. It was like she was smacking the moles that came out of the holes. She laughed and formed a giant hammer of light and slammed ground, successfully disgrating the last few burning people.

I glared at her and said, "I wasn't serious about the hammer!"

"Sorry, she said, smiling at me. "It was fun."

I had to crack a grin at that. She seemed just like my friend at school, when I was alone, she and her dad took care of me until my father came to get me.

"You had a magic horse that could run at miles per hour and make us suffer in the car? I'm carsick you know." Hazel grinned at me.

"Sorry, but he's kinda expensive to keep you know." I put her hand on the floor and a gold bar appeared in her hands. She then fed it to the horse and my jaw dropped open as the horse somehow chewed right through the gold. I watched the jaws carefully.

"You can ride it if you want to", she said.

Crystal smiled. "Sure I'll love to try!" She looked at me. "You coming?"

"Sure, I said. For the second time in my life, I felt happy. It had always been training and training, but now I can finally enjoy myself.

I got on the chariot and Crystal getting on behind me. "Hold on", Hazel said. I grabbed the rope on the side of the chariot. Then Arion started running. I would call it pure terror. Frank held on to Hazel's waist and I hung on to the chariot for dear life. Crystal wrapped her arms around me and it stopped her from falling off.

Crystal's POV

I wrapped my arms around Elrond's back to stop myself from falling and then blushed. Why am I hugging a boy? Elrond didn't see me and he was holding on too. Everything was such a blur that I soon forgot about Elrond and closed my eyes. Then the chariot stopped. I heard Frank laughing at me clinging on to Elrond back and bursted out laughing. I opened my eyes and Elrond grabbed and jumped out of the chariot. I was about to complain until I saw that the chariot was on fire. Elrond kicked it into the water.

Hazel smiled at me and said, "We're here, in Nevada."
