The train pulled into the Denver station about 12:30, noon. The trio didn't know what to do. They couldn't exactly break into a water park during the day. So they decided to walk all over town till nightfall.

Sephie was the only one of the three who could somewhat read English because of the Latin that was hardwired into her brain. And a lot of words in the English language have Latin roots. So she knew where to go. The park was abandoned by the sight of the pools and slides.

The sign was in need of replacement if the park did ever reopened. Because instead of reading 'WATERLAND', it read 'WAT R A D'. Sephie could see there was still souvenirs stocked in the store. She took a small detour to get something for her mother, Hazel, Frank and Jason.

Sephie also grabbed a shirt for the blanked she was going to make when she graduated high school. Sally said something about remembering things while at college.

When the trio walked out of the shop, Sephie looked around. She didn't understand why Mars would bring Venus here for a date. This place is not all that pleasing. Sometimes Sephie wished that Venus would never cheat on her husband like she does.

As Sephie looked around the park, she noticed a door that was open that lead to a control panel. Sephie walked right in. She knew that design anywhere. It was the same one that was used for the big TV in the Camp Jupiter/New Rome outdoor movie theater.

The outdoor movie theater at Camp Jupiter was kind of set up like the amphitheater at Camp Half Blood. But with a lot more space and a lot more grass. Sephie knew how to work the controls.

She helped build the thing and help maintain and fix the one at camp with Blaise so many times before. Sephie was always smarter then what she let others to believe. She always liked to keep people guessing with her. Especially with her skills.

Sephie looked onto the panel with intent plastered on her face. It was written in a mix of Latin and Ancient Greek. The screen showed that all of the Cupid statues had cameras in them that were online and were waiting to transmit to the Hephaestus tv up in Olympus.

"Oh, Grandfather. You will never learn." Sephie said

Sephie punched in the only code she knew to disable the cameras. The code worked for her. Sephie smiled knowing her grandfather would never change.

Clarisse soon came running into the control room panting for breath a little. There was a worried look on the daughter of war's face. Sephie knew that her friend was not usually like this.

"Hey, Sephie. I keep finding the letter eta on everything which is the letter 'H' in English. And from what I was told, that is your grandfather's Greek craftsman symbol." Clarisse said

"I think that your father is trying to trick us." Sephie said

"I think so too." Clarisse said

Luke then came in and then looked around.

"What are you doing in here?" Luke asked

"I was disabling the cameras in the Cupid statues that my grandfather had set up." Sephie said

"Your family is sadistic." Luke said

"Tell me about it. You don't know how many pranks my uncle Blaise did when people wrong him." Sephie said

"And because of the cameras, we believe that my father was trying to trick us into a trap." Clarisse said

The trio quickly and quietly got the stupid shield for Ares without triggering the trap or anything that Hephaestus had set up for the god of war and his cheating wife. And that would have started a chain reaction of unbearable humiliation. Along with some cuts and bruises.

The kids triggering the trap which triggers the cameras that broadcast to the Hephaestus tv up in Olympus all the while Clarisse, Sephie and Luke tumble down the Hephaestus made rabbit hole.

But with the cameras were turned off, the TVs would only get static. And that would make Hephaestus angry with it. And make him think Ares had something to do with it.

The trio of demigods soon found Ares in the parking lot of a nearby diner. Once to the red eyed god, Sephie forcefully put the shield into his hands now knowing what this version of Mars really is. A giant jerk.

'Just wait till I tell Frank.' Sephie thought to herself as she walked away from the god so she wouldn't punch him

Soon Sephie's phone buzzed indicating that she had received a text from either Jason or one of her friends. She turned away from the god and her companions to read what it had said. It was from Hazel everyone nicknamed little miss pure.

It said that her father Pluto has taken Jason as some sort of ransom. He had left a note addressed to Sephie saying that he wants his helm back now. Then Sephie saw only red.

The king of the underworld, the god of the dead and wealth has her boyfriend as a hostage. All because some idiot took his stupid helmet. And Sephie knows just who had done the crime. That blonde air headed bimbo in the Athena cabin named Annabeth Chase.

Clarisse hesitantly took a backpack from her father before following Sephie and Luke back to the train station. They all hopped onto a train leaving for Los Angeles. That's when Hermes came to them.

He gave Sephie a package from her father before leaving with a note saying that the items of four magic pearls in the box would help her get out of the underworld quickly. Because one can't always have a child of Pluto at their disposal. And to either mock her or to be nice to her, the god of the oceans and earthquakes had signed it Neptune.

A day later, they all reached the city of Los Angeles. And with Sephie being a California native and going all over the state with her friends, she knew her way around. Especially when they all were bored and decided to come down to wonder the city and to mess with Hades in his Roman form.

Sephie took the lead as she knew these streets better then anyone. But even better from above when she flew with Jason when they wanted to be alone. Clarisse and Luke noticed that they ended up at DOA recording studios. A building that Sephie has been in a lot.

The name was etched in gold into black marble. The set of double glass doors read, "NO SOLICITORS! NO LOITERING! NO LIVING!"

It was nearing midnight, but the lobby was brightly lit up like the San Francisco city Christmas tree and it was full of people. Behind the security desk was a tough looking security guard with sunglasses and a earpiece.

Like always, Sephie skipped the line with the security guard nodding to her. Sephie walked right up to Charon while holding out the drachmas for him. Charon knew that only four demigods payed him drachmas while still alive. And Sephie was one of them.

On the way to the drop off point, Sephie and Charon talked about what they've been doing since seeing each other last almost a year ago.

Once off the small boat, Sephie, Luke and Clarisse walked passed Cerberus who seemed to be really excited about Sephie being there. Sephie had promised him to come back and play when she was done with her work. Then they walked by another security point.

The security ghouls seemed to know who Sephie was when she passed them. They wouldn't dare touch the girl who their boss thought of as a daughter. Especially when Hazel, Pluto's real daughter, would come down and hit them whenever Sephie cried because of them.

When the trio were passing the entrance to Tartarus, Luke's shoes started to act up like someone had put a spell on them. He almost fell in. And there was nothing that Sephie could do to get him out if he did fall in. Even Pluto can't get him out.

When Clarisse and Sephie pulled Luke up they heard a strange noise. It sounded democratic. Something that you didn't want to mess with. Unless you're an idiot and let the thing behind the noise trick you into following it.

"I never heard that noise when I passed before." Sephie said

"I think I know what it is." Luke said

"What?" Clarisse asked in a demanding tone

"Kronos. He came to me years ago. But I declined his offer to join him." Luke said

Sephie had rumors that the titan lord of time was trying to recruit the children of the big three and others who felt as if they failed their quest or were felt. Sephie herself was never approached by him. But both Jason and Hazel both said they were approached by him.

Which scared Hazel and rattled Jason. They immediately told the senate. And they have been preparing for a Kronos, or Saturn as they call him, attack ever since. The children of Trivia have made a truth serum for any new comers who enter the camp.

Sephie wondered if she could get the recipe for the Hecate kids at Camp Half Blood. Or herself as she found out about a year ago that she has a knack for making potions like Trivia and her kids.

While walking to the home of Hades, Clarisse noticed that her new bag from her father was heavier than when she got it. The trio stopped when she said something. They looked in it to find both the lightening bolt and the helm of darkness. Sephie took the backpack from her friend with the knowledge of what it could bring.

Then walking into the god of the dead's throne room was strange for Clarisse and Luke. But Sephie just smiled and walked up to him.

"Hello uncle Pluto." Sephie said smiling and hugging the god

Sephie explained that because of her friendship with Hazel, she always called Pluto uncle. Sephie took a few steps back and looked angrily at the god.

"You have my boyfriend!" Sephie yelled

"And you have my helm!" Hades/Pluto yelled back

"But I didn't take it! You know that!"

The god calms down knowing what his daughter will do if Sephie gets hurt under his watch.

"How about a compromise? Jason for my helm?" Pluto asked quietly

Sephie got the helm out without the bolt being shown to Pluto. But she knew he sensed it when she entered. But didn't say anything because she also had his helm.

But before she handed Pluto the helm, she sensed something else. Her grandmother Maria.

"You have my grandmother here too!" Sephie yelled to the god

"I had to make sure that I got my helm back." Pluto yelled back to the demigoddess

"Hazel only said Jason so that is who I thought you had taken. That you only taken Jason and not my grandmother." Sephie said

Sephie was mad. No not mad, furious. She loved her grandmother more then she loved Jason, and he knew that. Maybe she was the one Sephie would fail to save.

Sephie only had four pearls for her, Clarisse, Luke and one other. And leaving the underworld, Sephie would have to leave one of the people she loved behind.

"Choose Persephone Jackson. Who will it be for you? Your boyfriend Jason the son of Jupiter? Or your mortal grandmother Maria Jackson-Richardson?" Pluto asked

Sephie's heart hammered so hard that she could hear it. Her breath quickened. Her mind raced.

"I choose Jason." Sephie blurted out without thinking
