Leo's pov

Leo had an idea, he needed time to do as well as a couple of things but he didn't the time to move or go to his tool belt before it suddenly had become cold. Leo had watched as a wolf dragged a statue over to them and dropped it, Leo had than realize who it was, Thalia. Jason's sister and maybe Emily's best friend, Leo wasn't sure on that last part for Emily had never told him of how close she was to Thalia.

"Who did this? I'll kill you myself!" Leo could see the power coming from Jason as he spoke that, Emily had stepped away from Jason as the power rolled off of him. Than there was a girl's laughter, it was clear and cold, the laughter had send shivers down his spine, than a girl had stepped out from the mist. Leo had shivered when he realize of who that laughter had belong to and he had a feeling it was her but in a way he hoped it wasn't but it was wrong.

"Bon soir, mes amis. Alas, son of Hephaestus, you say you need time? I'm afraid time is one tool you do not have."

"What've you done?"

"Oh, so many things. Your sister's not dead, if that's what you mean. She and her Hunters will make fine toys for our wolves. I thought we'd defrost them one at a time and hunt them down for amusement. Let them be the prey for once." The wolves snarled when Khione said that, Leo had looked at Emily. Leo wondered why Khione didn't mention Emily when she had spoke of the hunters but Leo had shrugged it off. It seems like if not all the gods seem to know everything,

"Yes, my dears. Your sister almost killed their king, you know. Lycaon's off in a cave somewhere, no doubt licking his wounds, but his minions have joined us to take revenge for their master. And soon Porphyrion will arise, and we shall rule the world."

"Traitor! You meddlesome, D-list goddess! You aren't worthy to pour my wine, much less rule the world."

"Tiresome as ever, Queen Hera. I've been wanting to shut you up for millennia." Khione had waved her hands and used her snow and ice to cover up Hera's prison.

"That's better. Now, demigods, about your death—"

"You're the one who tricked Hera into coming here, You gave Zeus the idea of closing Olympus." The wolves had snarled and the storm spirits were whining. It was clear that they were ready to attack. But Khione had prevented them from doing so.

"Patience, my loves. If he wants to talk, what matter? The sun is setting, and time is on our side. Of course, Jason Grace. Like snow, my voice is quiet and gentle, and very cold. It's easy for me to whisper to the other gods, especially when I am only confirming their own deepest fears. I also whispered in Aeolus's ear that he should issue an order to kill demigods. It is a small service for Gaea, but I'm sure I will be well rewarded when her sons the giants come to power."

"You could've killed us in Quebec. Why let us live?"

"Messy business, killing you in my father's house, especially when he insists on meeting all visitors. I did try, you remember. It would've been lovely if he'd agreed to turn you to ice. But once he'd given you guarantee of safe passage, I couldn't openly disobey him. My father is an old fool. He lives in fear of Zeus and Aeolus, but he's still powerful. Soon enough, when my new masters have awakened, I will depose Boreas and take the throne of the North Wind, but not just yet. Besides, my father did have a point. Your quest was suicidal. I fully expected you to fail."

"And to help us with that, you knocked our dragon out of the sky over Detroit. Those frozen wires in his head—that was your fault. You're gonna pay for that."

"You're also the one who kept Enceladus informed about us. We've been plagued by snowstorms the whole trip."

"Yes, I feel so close to all of you now! Once you made it past Omaha, I decided to asked Lycaon to track you down so Jason could die here, at the Wolf House. You see, Jason, your blood spilled on this sacred ground will taint it for generations. Your demigod brethren will be outraged, especially when they find the bodies of these two from Camp Half-Blood. They'll believe the Greeks have conspired with giants. It will be … delicious." Sure Leo heard the part about the other camp but Leo still didn't fully grasp of what Khione meant for there was always the chance of working together and from the sounds of it that the Romans and Greeks had already did that a few times. However Leo wish he could fix the problems if there any between the two groups, but he remembers his father's words to him.

"You'll set demigods against demigods."

"It's so easy! As I told you, I only encourage what you would do anyway."

"But why? Khione, you'll tear the world apart. The giants will destroy everything. You don't want that. Call off your monsters."

"Your persuasive powers are improving, girl. But I am a goddess. You can't charm-speak me. We wind gods are creatures of chaos! I'll overthrow Aeolus and let the storms run free. If we destroy the mortal world, all the better! They never honored me, even in Greek times. Humans and their talk of global warming. Pah! I'll cool them down quickly enough. When we retake the ancient places, I will cover the Acropolis in snow."

"The ancient places. That's what Enceladus meant about destroy the roots of the gods. He meant Greece."

"You could join me, son of Hephaestus, I know you find me beautiful. It would be enough for my plan if these other two were to die. Reject that ridiculous destiny the Fates have given you. Live and be my champion, instead. Your skills would be quite useful." Leo had looked behind him just to make sure that Khione was talking to him before looking back at Khione. Than Leo had looked at Emily standing close by, he remembered that she was the first girl he had a crush on since he was brought to camp. Even though she was a hunter and out of his league and had a boyfriend that was still alive that Leo still had a crush on her. But his chances of having her as a girlfriend was lowered when he had heard about her old relationship with James of who was a son of Zeus. Than Leo had laughed for that he had thought about that it sounded lame to be the champion of Khione for there was no way that cold and ice will ever mix.

"Yeah, join you. Right. Until you get bored of me and turn me into a Leosicle? Lady, nobody messes with my dragon and gets away with it. I can't believe I thought you were hot when I first saw you. But honestly Emily is more hot that you ever been."

"Hot? You dare insult me? I am cold, Leo Valdez. Very, very cold." Khione had than sent a blast of wintry sleet at them but Leo had held up his hand and made a wall of fire around them melting the snow.

"See, lady, that's what happens to snow in Texas. It—freaking—melts."

"Enough of this. Hera is failing. Porphyrion is rising. Kill the demigods. Let them be our king's first meal!"

Leo had started fighting with Khione, besides Emily, Leo was the only other one that could go against her. But Emily was fighting with the wolves, of which was cool and everything but he would have liked it that Emily joined with him like back at that cave. It was back there that his crush on her had started up again, he couldn't help it for she was out of his league but the weird thing that that for some reason she didn't quite out of his league as she been when he first saw her three days ago. However Emily was the one that throw the final blow but Leo and Piper had managed to break Hera out of her prison. Than Emily and Piper had somehow managed to get Jason back alive before Emily had left with the hunters. Than Hera had transported the three of them shortly afterwards and that was unpleasant. When they were on the table that Leo had quickly got off and throw up in the closest thing he could get to. Even though it was something to do with the gods but he couldn't remember what it was exactly.

Leo had than showed his cabin bunker nine along with Chiron, Piper and Jason, Leo wished that Emily could been there as well. But she still hadn't made it to camp yet. Leo was head head counselor, later that night was the council meeting of which he attended to with Jason and Piper. Jason had than explained more of what the camp was like and told them of the danger that Percy could been. As Jason explained that, that Leo was panicking for it was clear Emily had been there and that there was a chance that something could happen to her there if she went there after the quest had ended. Leo was more determined than ever to make sure that he finished the Argo II before the six months was up.

Emily's pov

Emily was glad to be back in the hunt instead of with three demigods, not that she hated the three that she was with. Honestly, Emily had become close with all three of them and that quest was amount the best of the life. Yeah, she knows that was weird, it was the best time of her life. The best of her life was the life of the hunt without a question or doubt in her mind. Even though the quest was odd and different from others that Emily was glad it was over. Even if the prophecy had said she had to go that she would have went back to the hunt of the first day of the quest. Since the hunters were moving by land that it took the hunters longer to get there than the other three. Emily has no idea of how Jason, Leo and Piper would get back to camp but with Hera to help them that once that Emily was sure that they get there faster than Emily and the hunters. While moving across the country that the howling commandos had caught with them and joined them as they went camp Halfblood.

Both her uncle and Bucky seem happy to see her alive. It was clear that when he jacket had went missing that they had feared the worst had happen to her. Her uncle was married than Bucky had been, of course Emily had told her uncle again of trying not to worry about as much as he had been doing. For he knows her life would always be dangerous even if it was less now that she was a hunter instead of the normal demigod. It had took a couple extra days to get to camp Halfblood, when Emily and the hunters reached it that Emily couldn't help but have her jaw drop. Not like it did when she first saw this c,so seventy years ago and not for the same reason for Emily got used to seeing the camp from the hill. For on the lake a ship was being built or at least it's frame and it was huge, it seem Thalia and the rest of the hunters were surprised by the ship as well. Emily had ran to the shore do where Leo, Piper, Jason and pretty much almost all the chains were there helping. Emily had went over to Leo as Thalia went over to talk to Jason. Leo had turned to look at her as she went over to him.

"What is this?"

"At this is the Agro II and the way to Greece and Camp Jupiter."
