TIME SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN…Jason still couldn't move.
"That is so annoying at times." Annabeth groaned.
"Facts. I've had enough of time being used against me. Literally." Percy said, shaking his head.
He felt himself sinking into…He has had amnesia."
A few chuckles.
"Even if you don't remember what you did, it still counts." Hades said
"Yeah, I mean it would be extremely unfair if some person was a hero and then hit their head and forgot everything and that's why didn't end up in Elysium." Nico said. Everybody chuckled at that.
Jason couldn't feel his…fire-breathing giant impales you.
Zeus and Hera couldn't feel their arms.
"Oh, we won't let you get impaled." Piper smiled at Jason and squeezed his hand. Jason grinned at her.
Leo's voice yelled…over and slid into the pit.
Leo whooped and punched the air. Everybody cheered.
"Good one!" Beckendorf high fived Leo. Jason gave a grin to Leo.
"Thanks man." He said. Leo grinned at him.
"Jason, get up!"… was missing a boot. Beautiful.
Jason and Piper were blushing but were laughing along with the others.
"What can I say? I have a different fashion sense." Piper grinned. Everybody burst out laughing. Aphrodite and Silena chuckled.
About a hundred feet behind…stuck in his breastplate.
Everybody cheered.
Amazingly, the giant managed…were now just pale scars.
"Come on!" The demigods shouted, throwing their hands up.
"The giants can only be killed by a god and demigod working together." Athena said
"Anybody got a god on speed dial then?" Percy asked dryly. There were a few laughs.
"There should be a system like that." Jason chuckled and nodded.
Leo ran up to them…his eyes something like fear.
A few smirks and nods.
"It's true, isn't it?... have a god handy?" Leo asked.
There were a few laughs.
"Yeah, I mean there should be a kind of a device where you can just call and say 'Yeah, I might need to defeat a giant'." Thalia laughed. Everybody laughed and chuckled.
"That would certainly be an interesting system." Artemis said with a raised eyebrow at her lieutenant who grinned.
Jason's heart filled with…weapon but his bare hands
"Jason." Thalia groaned and put her head in her hands. Jason grinned sheepishly.
"You all are definitely related." Annabeth said with a smile towards the big three kids who smiled innocently at her.
"Easily related." Lee chuckled. Everybody laughed.
"Enceladus!" Piper yelled…just save my friends.
"He shouldn't have to offer his own life." Percy grumbled.
"I have approved of many things you've done." Zeus said to Jason with a proud glint in his eyes. Some people stared at him. Jason almost choked on his saliva but grinned widely.
"And you shouldn't have to offer your own life either. I can help once so this time would be fine." Zeus said. This time more people stared at him. He glared at them and they quickly looked elsewhere.
"Thanks dad." Jason said. Thalia nodded from next to him. Zeus gave them a small smile.
Suddenly he could smell…giant froze, sensing it too.
"There's the delivery." Poseidon said with a chuckle.
Jason yelled to his friends…stood straight up. Crack!
"One thing I've always agreed with Poseidon on. Zeus would do well as the god of theatre." Hades said. Poseidon grinned at him. Zeus shook his head.
There were a few laughs.
"Well then I guess that's where Thalia gets it from." Nico said mildly. Percy grinned at him and the two high fived. Thalia glared at them and sent sparks into them. The two of them jumped.
Nico and Percy smirked. Within two seconds, Thalia was drenched from head to toe and was getting poked by skeleton hands. Thalia jumped onto a couch. Nico and Percy grinned and winked at her. Percy went and dried her and Nico stopped the skeleton hands and they disappeared. Thalia glared at her cousins who gave her an innocent look.
"You guys aren't any less dramatic." She said with an almost pout. Percy and Nico shrugged, still smirking.
"You three are chaotic. Hence, all three of you are very dramatic." Annabeth stated. Will nodded in agreement. Percy and Nico pouted and Thalia smirked at them.
"I can say that with full confidence that they are indeed very chaotic and I know that well enough seeing as I found the three of them." Grover grinned. Everybody laughed.
"Well, all three of them get it from their fathers." Demeter said. Hades, Poseidon and Zeus pouted at her and Demeter smirked. The laughter increased. Once it stopped, Will decided to continue.
Lightning surged through… Olympus will die with — "
"Yeahh. You wish." Pollux snorted. The demigods nodded.
"At the roots?" Hermes said
"Doesn't that mean Greece?" Annabeth asked. Athena nodded.
"So lets say if we have to do the quest then we will have to travel to Greece?" Leo asked. Everybody nodded.
"Damn." Leo whistled
"Lets hope that we don't have to." Percy said. The demigods nodded as they all remembered the plan.
"Thanks for the lightning." Jason said to Zeus who nodded with a small smile.
The giant lost his grip…For now, Gaea was gone.
Everybody cheered. Jason, Piper and Leo's parents gave their kids proud looks.
"One giant down. One to go." Piper said.
"The porpoise fear guy." Leo nodded. Everybody chuckled.
"You know his name but I love that you get it wrong intentionally." Chris laughed. Leo grinned at him.
The mountainside was on fire…gestures at the piles of clay.
Everybody chuckled or laughed. Clarisse shook her head fondly.
Leo cracked a smile…he didn't care.
"Yeah, always a good relief to just laugh or just have some kind of reaction after finishing a quest or a dangerous part of it." Percy nodded.
"Yeah, laughter would probably be good." Apollo said. Jason nodded.
Then a man stood up across…He was coming apart.
Piper flinched. Jason squeezed her hand. Aphrodite and Silena kept their hands on her shoulders.
"We need to get him… has some talking to do."
"Chapter's done." Will said
"I'll read." Triton said. Will passed him the book.
