Lot and Midas were shocked and Lit had than changed and Emily entered roman mood. During the time she visited Camp Jupiter that she learned to fight like a roman and Emily knows Lit doesn't know how to fight a Roman since Romans had come after Lit had died. It was clear from all the offense he was doing that he was surprised Emily wasn't died yet. Emily could fight Greek style but Roman style had an advantage here and now due to it being a surprise. But Emily had quickly changed her style as lit tried to fight header and faster than he had been before and it was started to wore him out.

"What fighting style are you using. First e style was something new. Now you fighting Greek and this other style."

"The style I am using now, that I like to come my style. But what I was using earlier was Legion training. It's roman."

"News flash. While you were dead, Rome defeated Greece. Created the greatest empire of all time."

"Impossible. Never even heard of them." Emily took that chance and took off her bracelet and swishing to the left and hit Lit in his chest with the end of her staff. Emily had made a circle when she had hit lit in the chest and Jason had took it from there and made Midas touch his son and turn lit into gold. But than the air pressure started to drop, Emily covered her ears as they popped. Emily could see that outside it was getting dark and she could see dark clouds, Emily shivered, she had a feeling of what was going to happen next.

"You know another good use for gold?" Midas seem excited by what Jason had said, but Emily knows what Jason was referring to and it was bad for Midas.

"Yes?"

"It's an excellent conductor of electricity."

The ceiling had exploded and rain fell and lighting had hit the javelin that Jason had in his hand from he tossed the coin just after he had Midas turned his son to gold. The energy, at had come the javelin and lighting, had went everywhere so that it basically destroyed the house. Gleeson had come back, Jason had took Piper while her uncle had took Leo and they had left the house after Jason throw a rug over Lit so that the people waking up would have some time to spend with Midas. Leo seem to got out of it sooner than Piper, so they had to take Piper to a river before they had entered a shallow cave. Emily was the one that started the fire since she had more energy than Leo for it seem that Leo was weak from being turned to gold. When Piper woke up that Emily made the fire hotter and used the fire within to heat her hands and she rubbed her hands on Piper's arms to help warm her up. After Emily did that, that she walked over to her uncle and Bucky, she had sat down next to her uncle and Bucky had spoke.

"Elizabeth, I am pretty sure that you never fought like that in World War II."

"That's because I didn't, I didn't know how to fight like a Roman back than. I had learned in the past year or so and I am glad I learned it for I had thought it was pointless when I started to learn it." They didn't say any more but Gleeson was telling Piper another version of what happen and that due to hai training of Emily and Jason that they were even able to get away an sit was her uncle that had spoke.

"Elizabeth, is he always like his?" Her uncle nodded to Gleeson as he said that.

"Unfortunately." But than Piper had choose that moment to explain something to them, Emily figured that it was what Piper was keeping from them. When Piper was doing explaining that Emily could understand of why Piper didn't want to tell them and that she wanted to save her father. Emily remembered when she learned Bucky was not died a few months after the first battle of the war but before the final battle at Olympus. That her uncle had did something similar as he did when he crashed the plane but he first had Emily leave. Emily hates that for a second her uncle was nearly killed, but that was who he was that he risk his love ones and protect them and the world and he would die for those reasons. Emily was the same way as her uncle in that way, that she would do anything she can to make sure that her love ones were protected and the world was safe. Jason had hugged Piper since Piper wasn't at them.

"God, Piper. I'm so sorry."

"No kidding. You've been carrying this around for a week? Piper, we could help you."

"Why don't you yell at me or something? I was ordered to kill you!"

"Aw, come on. You've saved us both on this quest. I'd put my life in your hands any day."

"Same. Can I have a hug too?"

"You don't get it! I've probably just killed my dad, telling you this."

"I doubt it. Giant hasn't gotten what he wants yet, so he still needs your dad for leverage. He'll wait until the deadline passes, see if you show up. He wants you to divert the quest to this mountain, right?"

"So that means Hera is being kept somewhere else. And she has to be saved by the same day. So you have to choose—rescue your dad, or rescue Hera. If you go after Hera, then Enceladus takes care of your dad. Besides, Enceladus would never let you go even if you cooperated. You're obviously one of the seven in the Great Prophecy."

"So we have no choice. We have to save Hera, or the giant king gets unleashed. That's our quest. The world depends on it. And Enceladus seems to have ways of watching me. He isn't stupid. He'll know if we change course and go the wrong way. He'll kill my dad."

"He's not going to kill your dad. We'll save him."

"We don't have time! Besides, it's a trap."

"We're your friends, beauty queen. We're not going to let your dad die. We just gotta figure out a plan."

"Would help if we knew where this mountain was. Maybe Aeolus can tell you that. The Bay Area has a bad reputation for demigods. Old home of the Titans, Mount Othrys, sits over Mount Tam, where Atlas holds up the sky. I hope that's not the mountain you saw."

"I don't think so. This was inland."

"Bad reputation … that doesn't seem right. The Bay Area …"

"You think you've been there?"

"I … I don't know. Hedge, what happened to Mount Othrys?"

"Well, Kronos built a new palace there last summer. Big nasty place, was going to be the headquarters for his new kingdom and all. Weren't any battles there, though. Kronos marched on Manhattan, tried to take Olympus. If I remember right, he left some other Titans in charge of his palace, but after Kronos got defeated in Manhattan, the whole palace just crumbled on its own."

"No." Everyone looked at Jason, Emily knew what Jason had meant by that even if he didn't understand of why that was or if it was fuzzy.

"What do you mean, 'No'?"

"That's not what happened. I—" Jason and stopped and he looked tense, than Emily heard wolves and Emily understood of why Jason had tensed up. "Did you hear that?" Than everyone else had heard it as well, Emily stood up and pulled her hair clip out of her hair but she didn't change it into a sword yet. But than she saw red eyes, when she saw the red eyes that Emily had growled at them and she was greeted by another growl. Than black wolves and stepped into the light of the fire, Jason had than spoke Latin.

"Dude, I gotta study Latin. What'd you say, Jason?"

"Whatever it was, it wasn't enough. Look."

"Here's the plan. I'll kill them all, and you guys escape."

"Coach, they'll rip you apart,"

"Nah, I'm good." Emily could see the silhouette of a man, a man that Emily knows of whit it was at once even if he hadn't made it into the light yet.

"Stick together. They respect a pack. And Hedge, no crazy stuff. We're not leaving you or anyone else behind." When the man stepped into the firelight that he had looked at Jason and spoke.

"Ecce, filli Romani."

"Speak English, wolf man!"

"Tell your faun to mind his tongue, son of Rome. Or he'll be my first snack."

"So it's true, a child of Aphrodite. A son of Hephaestus. A daughter of Demeter. A faun. And a child of Rome, of Lord Jupiter, no less. All together, without killing each other. How interesting." It was clear that Lycaon hadn't looked at her too well or even notice what she was, true she was a daughter of Demeter but she was also a hunter. But he seem not to care to count Bucky and her uncle when he listed Emily and the other four.

"You were told about us? By whom?"

"Oh, we've been patrolling for you all across the west, demigod, hoping we'd be the first to find you. The giant king will reward me well when he rises. I am Lycaon, king of the wolves. And my pack is hungry." The wolves and snarled in the darkness and Emily growled back at them of which made them snarled even more. Lycaon just looked over at her before he had looked back at Jason's blade, it seem like Lycaon really didn't care about her at the moment.

"Leave. There's no food for you here."

"Unless you want tofu burgers."

"If I had my way, I'd kill you first, son of Jupiter. Your father made me what I am. I was the powerful mortal king of Arcadia, with fifty fine sons, and Zeus slew them all with his lightning bolts."

"Ha. For good reason!"

"Coach, you know this clown?"

"I do. Lycaon invited Zeus to the king wasn't sure it was really Zeus. So to test his powers, Lycaon tried to feed him human flesh. Zeus got outraged—"

"And killed my sons!"

"So Zeus turned him into a wolf. They call… they call werewolves lycanthropes, named after him, the first werewolf."

"The king of wolves. An immortal, smelly, vicious mutt."

"I will tear you apart, faun!"

"Oh, you want some goat, buddy? 'Cause I'll give you goat."

"Stop it, Lycaon, you said you wanted to kill me first, but...?"

"Sadly, Child of Rome, you are spoken for. Since this one has failed to kill you, you are to be delivered alive to the Wolf House. One of my compatriots has asked for the honor of killing you herself."

"Who?"

"Oh, a great admirer of yours. Apparently, you made quite an impression on her. She will take care of you soon enough, and really I cannot complain. Spilling your blood at the Wolf House should mark my new territory quite well. Lupa will think twice about challenging my pack." Piper had tried to stand up but she wasn't able to stand. Bucky and her uncle looked unsure of what to do, Emily didn't blame them for this was more in the area of the hunters than the howling commandos. For there was no way that anyone from he howling commandos go up against this wolf pack.

"You're going to leave now, before we destroy you."

"A brave try, girl. I admire that. Perhaps I'll make your end quick. Only the son of Jupiter is needed alive. The rest of you, I'm afraid, are dinner."

"You're not killing anyone, wolf man. Not without going through me."

"Gold, bronze, steel—none of these are any good against my wolves, son of Jupiter."

"Silver! Aren't werewolves hurt by silver?"

"We don't have any silver!" Hedge had charged but Emily and Leo had struck first, for Leo had threw a glass bottle and it shatter on the ground. It had splattering liquid all over the wolves. They both shot a burst of fire at the puddle making a wall of flames. Many of the wolves had caught on fire and had to use the snow.

"Aw, c'mon. I can't hit them if they're way over there." Emily and Leo kept using their fire ability to back the wolves away, hopefully the hunters would come soon. Sure she had silver arrows but she was only one hunter and she couldn't aim more three arrows at once. However the gasoline was dying down and Emily was getting tired from using all this fire. Emily had no idea of how long that they had been using their fire abilities.

"I can't summon any more gas! Wow, that came out wrong. I mean the burningkind. Gonna take the tool belt a while to recharge. What you got, man?"

"Nothing. Not even a weapon that works."

"Lightning?"

"I think the snowstorm is interfering, or something."

"Unleash the venti!"

"Then we'll have nothing to give Aeolus. We'll have come all this way for nothing."

"I can smell your fear. A few more minutes of life, heroes. Pray to whatever gods you wish. Zeus did not grant me mercy, and you will have none from me." All of them raised their weapons or something close by in Bucky's case. Her uncle still had his shield with him of how he has it was beyond Emily and Emily had her sword in her hand even thought she knows it was no good. As she was holding her sword that she prayed that Thalia and the hunters were coming and she closed her eyes. Her pray was answered, for she heard a ripping sound though the wind and it hit a wolf for she heard it whine. Emily opened her eyes and watched as the wolf had become a shadow. Emily had changed her sword into a hair clip and put it in her hair before she made her bow apparat and quiver and started shooting her silver arrows at the pack.

The wolf pack had turned and ran, than there was more baying but his time Emily knew who was baying. Than a silver wolf appeared with blue eyes followed by three white wolves with gold eyes. Emily smiled and allowed her bow to vanish as the silver wolf looked over at Emily and ran over to Emily barking madly. Alexandria had jumped up on Emily causi her to fall on her back and started licking Emily like crazy. Emily had heard more enter the cave and she managed to sit up and Alexandria had stopped licking her face. Emily smiled when she saw the hunters standing there, their hoods were up but Emily knew which was which though. Emily had got up as Thalia smiled and picked up an arrow that had wounded Lycaon's hand.

"So close." Than Thalia had looked back over at Emily. "I am glad to see you are still alive, Emily. "

"I am glad to see you Thalia." Emily looked at the hunters. "Thalia, Phoebe stay here. The rest of you go after the wolf man." The hunters had nodded and left all expect for Thalia and Phoebe. Thalia had than turned to the others.

"We've been following that demon's trail for over a week. Is everyone all right? No one got bit?"

"Actually it was more like about three to four days but we had be trying to pick up his bloody trial for over a month now. However we didn't know that we were trying to pick up his trail mainly because for almost the whole. Onto that his trail was weak enough that we had no idea of who it was." Jason had looked over at Emily when she said that.

"You knew he was out there."

"Yes, at least just before this quest had started. I thought that the hunters would have gotten to him by now."

"You're her. You're Thalia." Thalia had looked over at Emily.

"Have you been talking about me."

"No, I haven't been talking about or not really. The only I did was when I was at camp Halfblood before the quest and that I had to come along for a joy ride."

"You cam to find us?" It was Phoebe that had spoke.

"No it's because of these lines in the prophecy for this quest: The champion of the hearth shall melt the ice. Without her that there would a price. Don't ask what that is suppose to mean. For I have no idea so I can't go with you now since the quest had a deadline."

"What's the deadline."

"Tomorrow."

"Been busy than?"

"You can say that. It is sort of like the hunt but we four and two being male instead of about forty five girls." Phoebe chuckled when Emily had said that.

"I should have come along."

"No, Phoebe. I already had to deal with a lot on this quest and you fighting with he two makes would be the last thing this quest needs." But Thalia had than looked back at Piper and lowered the hood of her parka. Thalia seem tense when she had looked back at Piper.

"Do I know you?"

"This might be a shock, but—" Jason had stepped forward and when he spoke that his voice was trembling, of which was something different. For this was the first time at it seem that Jason was losing his nerve of when he rest of the time he acted like the leader he was suppose to be. But Emily knows that all leaders have fears, for she was a leader and there times of when Emily felt that she would fail or something.

"Thalia. I'm Jason, your brother."
