LEO WAS TOTALLY BUZZING…were going to bust a lug nut.
Everybody laughed.
"The reactions must truly be interesting." Hephaestus chuckled.
Festus had been awesome too…Nah, he'd come back.
"Most definitely." Travis said
"Yeah, if you die, I'm going to kill you. We need to do such pranks that nobody in history has ever seen." Connor said. Leo grinned at them.
"The pranks… Something that is inspirational and exclusive!" Chris said
"What are you advertising?" Rachel grinned
"Aw come on now. You're helping." Chris said. Rachel nodded.
"You bet." She said
The Stolls winked at Percy who winked right back. Hermes was chuckling and was eager to see what the prank gang were planning but he didn't know, they might just be planning to prank him.
He'd scored a sweet magic…Festus could eat you.
"Lets think positive. You could clean the disk when you would take a break from flying." Beckendorf said
"And you don't want to jinx anything." Castor said
"Especially on a time sensitive quest." Pollux said
"Yeah." Leo nodded.
Okay, so the dragon wasn't quite…"Shut up, me," Leo said aloud.
"That's the best way to get such thoughts. Tell yourself to shut up." Percy nodded.
"Personal experience?" Nico asked
"Yeah." Percy shrugged.
"What?" Piper asked…sleepless, hallucinating dragon driver.
"Yeah that wouldn't be that pleasant if it's literal." Piper grimaced
"Wouldn't want to crash. But I'm sure that I'm okay. One night doesn't seem that bad." Leo said. Hephaestus and Beckendorf grimaced at the thought of Leo staying awake for more than one night on the run.
"Just joking." Leo decided…the God of Boring?"
The demigods snickered.
"Just don't say that to his face when you meet him." Ares said
Second, Jason continued… sound like evil espresso drinks."
Everybody laughed.
"I'm never going to be able to listen to the word 'venti' referred to monsters the same way ever again. They're always going to remind me of espresso with angry expressions." Dakota said
"Agreed!" The demigods chorused.
And third, Jason finished…giant who wants revenge?"
"So two giants to face. Brilliant." Jason said
"Not good at all." Hermes said
"I don't think so,"…something about an army of giants.
"Oh yippee." Leo muttered
"I remember nothing good about the giants." Piper shook her head, worriedly
"Because there is nothing good." Zeus said grimly
"Are you not in denial this time, brother?" Poseidon asked
"I still don't believe this is happening. I think that closing Olympus for some time might be better." Zeus said
"Well at least it reduced to some time." Hades said. Zeus glared at him.
Great," Leo muttered…they tried to destroy Olympus
"Very impressive." Athena said.
"Thank you." Piper said
"It's good that you were able to catch that. Knowing what you're up against… It helps." Rachel said
Ares had paled a little so it wasn't as noticeable, remembering what had happened before with the jar. Though he shook it off.
If we're talking about the same…bring up my psycho babysitter."
Everybody laughed at that.
"Leo's summary just makes it hilarious." Percy said
"That's why you two are alike." Jason said
Percy and Leo smiled at each other.
"The giants are still not something to take easily." Poseidon said.
"We know dad." Percy said
"I'm not psycho." Hera grumbled
Leo shrugged.
"Is that another joke?"…his eyes straight ahead as they flew.
"Hey, it's okay. It takes time to tell somebody. It's not easy." Jason said gently to Leo who gave him a grateful smile.
Chris slung an arm around Leo's shoulders and Leo gave him a grateful look as well which Chris responded to with a smile.
And he told them about the strange…"That's ... disturbing," Piper said
"Very much so." Katie said. Everybody nodded.
"'Bout sums it up," Leo agreed…why are we doing this?
"Because if you don't the Olympians are going to have a huge huge huge problem. Huger than lets say even the lightning bolt being stolen. If the giant who is the spire or nearby rises and uses Hera for whatever it wants then there is going to be an extreme problem which I don't know if it can be solved." Nico said
"And because she chose you." Will said.
"That's concerning. Hopefully we can change it this time around." Reyna said. Everybody nodded.
"She chose us,"…destructive than the Titan War."
"Precisely." Nico said grimly.
"So you're telling me that that thing is feeding on Hera's essence kind of?" Annabeth said "To be honest, even I don't want that." She said.
"The chaos among the gods would be uncontrollable. When the bolt was stolen there were two major realms fighting. If Hera isn't found then all the domains would be uncontrollable. Then there is the whole war that would take place." Apollo said
"Not good at all." The demigods said
Jason nodded. "Chiron also talked…Not something I want to see."
Even the gods had paled at the thought of Gaia completely awake.
"That is something that nobody wants to see and also something that we won't be able to see as we'd be dead is she wakes up." Reyna said
"But who is she?"…she have to do with giants?"
"Well lets see. She's my great grandmother." Percy looked weirded out "And also Antaeus' mother who is supposed to be my half brother." Percy paled
"Percy. The second part was not necessary." Castor said, looking very pale. Some of the demigods looked close to being sick. Poseidon was shifting very uncomfortably.
"Awkwaaarrd." Clarisse muttered. Chris and Ares chuckled at her.
"I'm just going to continue." Percy said.
"Good choice." Hermes said. Poseidon still looked uncomfortable. Percy looked at him.
"All in the past either way." He said and continued though he was still pale. Poseidon looked a little relieved that Percy wasn't mad or anything. He was just uncomfortable which was understandable. Triton and Amphitrite already knew so they didn't really react to that.
"By the way." Hermes interrupted. "Gaia is the mother of the giants." He said
"Right." The demigods said and Percy continued reading.
Good questions, but none…sitting behind him, couldn't tell.
Hephaestus shook a little due to curse as well. Even Beckendorf slung an arm around Leo and Leo smiled at him and Chris.
The forge and dove shall…assuming they could find it.
"The prophecy says 'shall' so you'd most likely find it and succeed in breaking it." Rachel said
"That's good I think." Jason said
Then they'd unleash Hera's rage…Great idea.
There were a few snickers at that. Hera grumbled and Leo smirked at her.
Festus kept flying…end up at the North Pole.
"Yeah, I mean ending up at the north pole is great during Christmas but not this time." Travis said
Leo nodded and snickered.
"Why don't you get some…"Right," he muttered.
Everybody chuckled lightly at that.
He leaned forward against…and closed his eyes.
"Done." Percy said
"How come dad isn't asleep?" Beckendorf asked
"Apparently the curse doesn't work for small things like dreams and visions and stuff. Just emotions and pain." Nico said, reading a note that appeared.
"Oh okay." Beckendorf said
"I'll read." Aphrodite said
