We made haste back to the Argo. Will and Nico were sitting at the bow waiting for us.

"You're back!" Will called.

"I was looking for an explosion," Nico added.

"Ha ha. Somebody should pray to Dionysus, tell him we have his goblet. Charlie, can you change the course to Greece? The coordinates are sitting in the control room," I said. Charlie nodded and dashed off. Will had knelt his head in prayer. When no answer came, he looked to me. I sighed and lifted my arms.

"I have your wine goblet, Mr. D!" I yelled, using the name I knew he didn't like. "Come and get it before I throw it overboard!"

With a flash of light, Dionysus appeared on the deck with crossed arms. He held out his hand and I tossed him the goblet.

"Great, you didn't die. Because you brought my goblet back so quickly I guess I'll give you a push towards Greece. That is where you are going, correct?"

I frowned at him. "Yes."

Dionysus smirked, then winked at me. He raised his cloak over his eyes and we turned away. When we looked back, he was gone.

"Glad that's taken care of. What do you think he meant by a push towards Greece?"

Nobody got a chance to answer, because we were suddenly launched forward. I was thrown from my feet and I had to grab the mast to keep from flying off the side. Will and Nico were hanging onto each other with one hand each on the railing. I was losing my grip. I clenched my teeth in strain.

Finally, the boat calmed and nearly came to a stop. I let go of the mast and collapsed onto the deck.

"Well Jase, to answer your question, I think that was what he meant," Will said. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, a literal push. We'd better check on the others, see if they're ok. Want to go to the engine room, see where we are?" I asked. Nico and Will nodded and left. I followed them but branched off to the bedrooms. I first went to Adora's room. I opened the door and found her sitting on the bed and rubbing her head.

"Hey kiddo, you ok?" I asked, sitting next to her and wrapping my arm around her shoulder.

"I hit my head," she said. I parted her hair to look at the small bump on her scalp. I stood up and got the ambrosia from her dresser.

"Here," I said. "You should go find Uncle Will and get an ice pack. I'm going to check on Oscar, ok?"

She nodded. "Ok Jasey." She stood up and put on her fuzzy orange slippers then headed down the hall. I went to my room next, where I found Kat cradling Oscar. I sat down and took him from her.

"You two ok?"

She nodded. "Yeah, he didn't even wake up. When the rush started I was able to brace myself against the wall with Oscar," she said. I smiled and brushed my little brother's hair back.

"Osi sleeps through everything. Mom said she wishes that all of us were like him," I whispered, mostly to myself. Kat nodded and watched us.

"Jase, are you ok?" she asked.
I've had about 3 hours of sleep since my parents went missing, my wounds from earlier hadn't been properly tended to, and my family was still missing. I smiled at Kat. "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I'm going to check in with the others, maybe get Oscar some food while I'm at it."

She nodded and I left still holding Oscar. He was beginning to wake up anyway, might as well get him some food. I went to the kitchen first and grabbed his bottle from the fridge, then headed to the control room. Charlie was sitting on the floor covered in grease, fiddling with the dashboard.

"Charlie, what are you doing?" I asked.

"Putting the last of the celestial bronze in place. What was that rush thing? I think it damaged the landing gear, I wasn't able to bring them back up in time. It's ok, but we'll have a rocky landing when we reach Greece." he explained.

"Speaking of," I said. "Where are we?"

Charlie stopped fiddling to look up at the council. "Uhh, close to Greece. Looks like we're only about a day away? Damn, that was one hell of a boost."

I nodded. "Yeah. Too bad he didn't make sure everybody was off deck. Nico and Will were nearly swept overboard."

"They ok?" he asked, looking up for the first time.

I nodded again and assured him, "Yeah, they're good. So are the others. A day away, you say? Anything coming up, monsters, dolphin pirates, gods?"

Charlie shrugged. "Not that I can see, but my radars need time to catch up with the sudden geographic change."

"Ok, tell me if there are any changes," I ordered.

"Will do," he saluted.

"Also, dinner in half an hour. You need to eat," I added. He only shrugged.
