IT TOOK ALL THREE…lot of things besides corn

There were a few snickers.

His ripped arms were covered…if it wasn't also sliced up.

"Definitely Lityerses." Apollo said

"Good thing or bad?" Leo asked

"Depends if he fights you or not. If he fights you then bad." Artemis said

"I'm sure Jason can match him." Piper said. Jason turned a little red.

"Matching him in his Greek fighting. I kind of doubt that. Not many are as good as him. But yes, Jason could defeat him because he has Roman training which Lit doesn't recognize." Apollo said.

Lit immediately zeroed…Don't worry!"

There were a few groans.

"He should know when to say what. Violent tendencies." Dakota shook his head. Clarisse sighed.

"Coach," Jason pleaded…I'll apologize."

"No!" The demigods shouted.

Grover shook his head at Hedge.

"No!" Piper insisted…giving Lit that smile.

Zeus and Hera felt Jason's jealousy and Zeus raised an eyebrow at Jason who turned red.

Lit huffed and sheathed…run through before lunchtime."

"Life rule number 2. Never get run through before lunchtime." Travis nodded approvingly. The demigods laughed.

"What's 1 and 3?" Hermes asked

"Never get run through before breakfast. And three is never get run through before dinner." Connor smirked. The demigods nodded and grinned. The gods chuckled.

"Good rules." Hermes nodded.

"Only rules you care about." Athena snorted.

"I also care about the rules of mischief." Hermes said, looking offended. Athena snorted again.

"Whose Lit's godly parent? Is there any?" Castor asked

"Demeter." Artemis said. Katie choked on air.

"Great." She said.

"He's not really that weird. Dangerous and scary but not weird." Apollo said "I mean it could get a whole lot worse." He shrugged.

"Yeah, well credits to my mom for not falling in love with titans and giants. I guess." Katie said. Demeter face palmed and shook her head good naturedly.

The old man in the bathrobe…"He died."

"And he's alive again. I've kind of just stop getting surprised every time somebody who is supposed to be dead is alive again." Percy said

"Agreed." Nico sighed.

They were sitting on the sofas…golden boxers under there.

"Jason!" The demigods shouted and groaned. Jason grinned sheepishly.

"It's a valid concern." He said

Lit stood behind…just to be annoying.

Piper rolled her eyes.

Jason wondered if he…Sadly, he doubted it.

"Nope." Percy grinned. Jason sighed.

"Pity." He said

"But to be honest, I can't really imagine us to look really ripped." Nico said

"Lit isn't that ripped. He is but not that much." Ares said amusedly

"I think Percy's the most ripped here?" Lee said

"We took fitness tests at camp so yes." Will nodded. Percy smirked and grinned.

"Pity." Jason repeated. Percy chuckled.

"Sorry bud but I'm sure that you're close. You've got good arms." Percy said. Jason grinned and nodded. Poseidon grinned proudly.

Piper sat forward…"Does it matter, my dear?"

"Yes." Aphrodite said

"We could kill them again," Hedge suggested.

A few snickers or face palms.

"Coach, not helping,"…Very subtle sign language.

"Very subtle. Hard to decipher." Leo snorted. Everybody snickered. A few gods shook their heads.

"Yeah, thanks," Jason said…but his mother insisted

Everybody raised their eyebrows at Demeter.

"Honestly, that's better than a few names that we've heard. Especially Erisikhthon or something." Katie snorted.

"That's true. Lityerses does sound kind of cool." Chris agreed.

Lit has plenty of wide-open…"How nice."

A few snickers.

Lit's smile was more of…sending Hedge outside

"That was quick." Clarisse said

"It might be a little better to have a violent goat to know that we have somebody violent." Jason said

"So," Jason said…But gold retains its value!"

"That was quite some advertising." Travis said with raised eyebrows

"Weird though." Hermes said

Leo frowned…got it from some god — ''

"Me." Dionysus said

"Ohh." Castor, Pollux and Dakota said dramatically. Dionysus looked amused.

"Dionysus," the king agreed…I was sorry, son.

There were a few snickers.

"Yeah, that's got to be annoying." Pollux agreed

At any rate, gold…vacuumed straight into the pack.

"That's kinda cool. I mean the backpack remains flexible and becomes magical." Connor said

"But the consequences aren't exactly worth it." Lee shook his head

"True." Connor agreed.

"Gotta admit…"That's horrible!" Piper said.

"Very much so. I would prefer getting grounded." Beckendorf said

"I think anybody would." Silena said. Beckendorf nodded.

"Nonsense. She doesn't… Apollo, sore loser

Apollo scowled a little. His kids weren't liking that Midas had called their dad a sore leaser either.

"Dad, that was a little unfair. You asked him to judge and he gave his opinion. You're the god of music, yes but Pan is more attuned to the nature. Kind of a genre difference." Will said. Apollo sighed and nodded.

"You have a point." He admitted. "I thought that the god of music is being good at all music genres." He said

"You are the best at all music genres but as Pan is the god of the wild, he would have a little bit more of a connection to the nature and its sounds." Michael said. Apollo nodded.

Said I must have the ears…reward for being truthful

A few head shakes and face palms.

"You're god of truth too right?" Demeter asked Apollo who nodded.

"Yeah, I get the point now." He sighed.

I tried to keep them a secret…his madness, and enjoyed it.

The Dionysus kids and Chris shuddered.

"He's not exactly insane though." Dakota said "Just crazy and weird and mad like Jason said. Like he doesn't have a snapped mind as you can say." He said

"Yeah, he's mad." Pollux agreed with Dakota

"Yes, gold has many uses…"Blasted girls from Artemis."

Artemis scowled at her hunters being called 'blasted.' Thalia rolled her eyes at Midas. Reyna sighed.

Jason felt a spark…springs in the sofa.

Zeus and Hera shuddered due to the curse.

His sister had been here.

Thalia and Jason smiled at each other.

"When?" he demanded…Hunters were looking for him

Percy smiled at Thalia and gave a respectful nod to Artemis.

"Man, you're practically known among all the demigods. Greek demigods and now Roman and also the hunters. You're famous." Leo grinned at Percy.

"I don't know how to feel about that. But I'm really glad that I have friends in all those places." Percy said and grinned at all of them who returned it. Poseidon beamed at his son. Triton and Tyson grinned at Percy. Amphitrite gave a smile.

And in Jason's dream… have to rebuild my collection."

Everybody froze.

Lit was smiling cruelly…out and grabbed her wrist.

"No!" Aphrodite and Silena shouted. Piper paled. Aphrodite swore.

Jason's eyes widened.

"I'm guessing Aphrodite won't turn into gold due to the curse?" Chris said

"Most probably not." Nico shook his head.

"No!" Jason yelled…Leo transformed into solid metal.

"Leo!" Beckendorf and Hephaestus shouted.

"That was really quick and messed up." Leo muttered.

"It sucks." Piper agreed.

"I'll get you guys out." Jason promised them. They gave him small smiles.

Jason was so horrified…been able to stop it.

"We're not dead technically." Piper said. Jason nodded.

Midas smiled apologetically…at the bottom of a trap pit.

Clarisse paled.

Midas chuckled…to fight Lit instead."

"Yes! Go Jason!" the demigods cheered.

"You can do it! Sometimes trickery helps too." Hermes grinned at him. Jason gave a small smile to everybody.

Demeter was not exactly looking forward to this. She didn't want Jason, Piper or Leo to die but she didn't exactly want to hear about the death of her son either. She hoped that Lit wouldn't die and that the demigods would escape.

Midas looked mildly…"Very nice."

"Priorities." Triton snorted

Lit charged. The guy…"It's Roman."

"Mhmm." The Romans grinned.

"Roman?" Lit struck… greatest empire of all time."

The Romans grinned proudly. Jason gave a small smile. Though he loved Rome and its traditions, he still found the excitement and joy of the Greeks more. That's why if somebody asked him even now, he would still choose Greek though he would have a little difficulty in letting go the memories of Rome, he would still choose Greek.

Some of the Greeks scowled at the Rome defeating Greece part.

"Impossible," Lit said. "Never even heard of them."

"Because you were dead." Nico deadpanned.

Jason spun on one heel…help him up," Jason said.

Everybody grinned at what Jason planned.

"Oh this will work well." Apollo said, with a small smirk.

"Like I said, trickery works sometimes." Hermes grinned.

Too late…was sitting on Midas's throne.

There were some cheers. Jason smiled.

"Curses!" Midas wailed…rapidly that his ears popped.

Zeus looked uncomfortable as his ears popped while Hera covered hers. Zeus gave Jason a proud look.

"Rain! And water. Good one." Piper grinned

Midas must've felt it too…"My power is supreme here!"

"My friend, one more use of gold. It's a great conductor of electricity." Jason smirked. Everybody cheered at that.

Thalia high fived her brother.

Thunder rumbled.Outside, the sky turned black.

"Nicee." The demigods grinned.

"You know another good…rain poured into the building.

"WHOAA." The demigods cheered. Percy grinned at Jason.

"The dramatics. Perfection cousin." He said. Jason grinned at him and the two fist bumped. Or had their special handshake which only the two of them understood how it went.

Midas cursed in Ancient Greek…with the other statues in the room.

"That was amazing." The demigods chorused.

"Impressive." Zeus nodded at his son who grinned.

"That was lit." Leo grinned

"Ahh. Nice one!" Connor high fived Leo.

Then the front door burst open…with dirt, snow, and grass.

"Oh gods." Grover buried his face in his hands.

"What'd I miss?" he asked…keep from passing out.

Zeus and Hera held their heads.

"Lightning tires you?" Thalia asked. Jason nodded.

"Rain and Winds are more my thing. I don't have much of a stamina when it comes to lightning." Jason admitted

"This was quite a huge bolt. Maybe you will have better control over smaller ones." Zeus said

"That's possible. We can train and see." Thalia said. Jason nodded and grinned

"And we'll see if you can do winds. I'll help there then." He said. Thalia grinned at him and the two gave each other side hugs. Zeus managed a smile at that.

"I was screaming for help."…Who needs killing?"

"Getting a snack?" Hephaestus asked incredulously.

"That was not helpful at all." Dakota frowned.

"Well he hadn't eaten in a long time." Grover sighed "Lets see if he helps out more later on." He said.

"No one, now!"…some quality time with Midas."

"I highly doubt that that will end well for Midas." Nico said, shaking his head

Demeter sighed.

"Done." Michael said.

"That was good." Leo grinned at Jason who returned it.

"I'll read." Artemis said. Michael handed the book to his aunt with a grin. Artemis chuckled at him and smirked at Apollo who pouted at her. Everybody chuckled at the twins.
