Emily had opened her eyes and saw that she was in her room on the Agro II. Emily had sat up in her bed and looked around and saw that Leo was sitting next to her. It was clear that Leo had been worried about her when she passed out when she had come aboard the Agro II. Emily wanted to throw up after what happen in her dream, even with she did that she felt the need to throw up but she was unable to do so. Emily wondered where they were and how long she had been out, they could be anyway at the moment and Emily could have been out for a week for all Emily knows. Emily bit her lip and looked around once more before looking back at Leo.

"How long have I been out?"

"Three days. The day after Venice that we made it to Split and we left Split two days ago." Emily had nodded when Leo had said that. Even though she hadn't been or was awake to see it that Emily knows where Split and what lays there. Emily didn't say anything more, instead she had got up and left her room with Leo just behind her. Emily and Leo had just reached the deck when she heard Nico saying something, something about a scepter. When Emily and Leo were standing on the deck that she saw Nico, Frank, Hazel, Piper and Jason standing there. Emily notice that along with his black sword that Nico had some sort of scepter at his side.

"We can't talk up here. Let's postpone the meeting."

"What meeting?" Everyone had looked at Emily when she had said that. It was Piper who responded.

"You are awake, are you all right?"

"I guess. I don't know. I have been better." All of them had merely nodded when Emily had said that. Emily could feel wind swept around the deck and it felt rather cold for the summertime around here.

"Need to –"

"Yeah, go." To Emily's surprise, if it was Bianca that it wouldn't be much to a surprise, that Nico had kissed Hazel's cheek.

"I'll walk you down." Frank had put his arm around Hazel's waist and helped Hazel down the stairs, Emily hoped that Hazel would be okay. Ever since the other four fell into Tartarus that Emily had got close to Piper and Hazel. Emily was sure that in the last three days that Piper and Hazel would have got closer to each other. Nico had brush some ice from his hair and frowned at the scepter on his belt.

"I should put this thing away. If it's really causing the weather, maybe taking it below deck will help …"

"Sure." Nico had glanced at Piper and an at Leo before he and went down below. Leo had pulled a screwdriver from his belt

"So much for the big team meeting. Looks like it's just us again." It seem so long ago when it was just the four of them. Leo and Emily hadn't changed all that much in the last few months. However Jason had changed, even since when they had landed in camp Jupiter to start on this quest. He was thinner of which was odd to see, taller and more careworn, and his eyes were filled with worry. Emily knew what people had said about Jason. That he was too perfect and straitlaced, Emily had noticed that when she had meet Jason the first time. For Emily had a hard time of believing at first Jason was Thalia's full blooded brother, but when Emily got to know Jason that it was true for they had a couple of things in common but not very much. But that had changed, for the quest was affecting him, for he wasn't as perfect and straitlaced as he had been.

Piper had changed as well, her hair and eyes were dull, she was thinner as well. The changes in Jason and Piper had reminded her of the changes she had went though during the age of thirteen to fifteen almost sixteen. Even though Emily was immortal and watched as time flies that it seem that quest with Piper, Leo and Jason seem forever ago. Emily and Piper gazed into the cold rain, Emily wish she could just go back to the hunt and track down monsters with the rest of the hunters or even just be in Camp Halfblood or the avenger tower.

"Hey, it'll be fine. We're close to Epirus now. Another day or so, if Nico's directions are right." Leo was tinkering with his sphere as he spoke

"Yep. By tomorrow morning, we'll reach the western coast of Greece. Then another hour inland, and bang – House of Hades! I'ma get me the T-shirt!"

"Yay."

"I just want to get there, save Percy, Annabeth, James and Persephone and get to where Gaea was rising to stop her from waking fully." It seem that Piper had been thinking as Emily had spoke.

"Guys, I've been thinking about the Prophecy of Seven." That seem to take Leo's attention away from what he was doing at the moment,

"What about it? Like … good stuff, I hope?"

"In Katoptris, I keep seeing that giant Clytius – the guy who's wrapped in shadows. I know his weakness is fire, but in my visions he snuffs out flames wherever he goes. Any kind of light just gets sucked into his cloud of darkness."

"Sounds like Nico, you think they're related?"

"Hey, man, cut Nico some slack. So, Piper, what about this giant? What are you thinking?" Emily, Piper and Leo exchanged puzzling look, they were all thinking the same thing. Since when did Jason defends Nico, not that it was a bad thin but clearly something had happened at Spilt to make Jason change his mind,

"I keep thinking about fire. How we expect Leo to beat this giant because he's …"

"Hot?" Emily had usually rolled her eyes when Leo had said that but this time Emily didn't roll her eyes at that.

"Um, let's go with flammable. Anyway, that line from the prophecy bothers me: To storm or fire the world must fall."

"Yeah, we know all about it. You're gonna say I'm fire. And Jason here is storm." Piper had nodded when Leo had said that, Emily had thought of that line as well. There was a chance it could mean more than just Leo or Jason. Emily had been around enough to know that lines in the prophecies have double meanings. The ship had pitched to starboard and Jason had grabbed the icy railing of the Argo II.

"So you're worried one of us will endanger the quest, maybe accidentally destroy the world?"

"No, I think we've been reading that line the wrong way. The world … the earth. In Greek, the word for that would be …" Piper didn't seem to want to finish that so Emily did, since Emily was not as worried about saying that due to who her mother was.

"Gaia." Piper had nodded when Emily had said that.

"You mean, to storm or fire Gaia must fall?"

"Oh … You know, I like your version a lot better. 'Cause if Gaia falls to me, Mr Fire, that is absolutely copacetic." Jason had kissed Piper before he spoke.

"Or to me … storm. Piper, that's brilliant! If you're right, this is great news. We just have to figure out which of us destroys Gaia."

"Maybe. But, see, it's storm or fire …" Piper had unsheathed Katoptris and set it on the console. "I'm worried about Leo and this fight with Clytius,' she said. 'That line in the prophecy makes it sound like only one of you can succeed. And if the storm or fire part is connected to the third line, an oath to keep with a final breath …" Piper didn't finish of what she was saying, it seem that Piper had been thinking a lot about the prophecy. Emily was sure of one thing, that the oath part has no connection to the storm and fire, for lines rhyme but don't connection in real life event.

"Okay … so I don't like your idea as much as I thought. You think one of us defeats Gaia and the other one dies? Or maybe one of us dies while defeating her? Or –"

"Guys, we'll drive ourselves crazy overthinking it. You know how prophecies are. Heroes always get into trouble trying to thwart them."

"Yeah. We'd hate to get into trouble. We've got it so good right now."

"You know what I mean. The final breath line might not be connected to the storm and fire part. For all we know, the two of us aren't even storm and fire. Percy can raise hurricanes."

"I am sure that it had nothing to do with the final breath line is con edged to the storm and fire."

"And I could always set Coach Hedge on fire. Then he can be fire."

"Actually I could be fire as well." Leo had looked over at Emily, Emily could tel that just made him worry even more than before.

"I hope I'm wrong. But the whole quest started with us finding Hera and waking that giant king Porphyrion. I have a feeling the war will end with us too. For better or worse."

"Hey, personally, I like us."

"Agreed. Us is my favorite people." Both Emily and Piper had managed to smiled, but she felt a strange feeling coming over her. It seem that Piper had sense something as well.

"Leo, sound the alarm." Piper was charm speaking, Emily could tell from her voice that she was using it. Leo had did as Piper said that, but nothing happened.

"Uh, it's disconnected, Festus is shut down. Gimme a minute to get the system back online."

"We don't have a minute! Fires – we need vials of Greek fire. Jason, call the winds. Warm, southerly winds."

"Wait, what? Piper, what's wrong?" Piper had picked up her dagger before she had spoke.

"It's her! She's back! We have to –" suddenly the boat seem to jerk, the temperature had dropped so fast that the sails had crackled with ice. The bronze shields along the rails had popped like some cans, Emily had made her sword appear and Jason drew his sword but it was too late. For a wave of ice had swept over Jason making him freeze in place but nothing happened with Emily.

"Emily! Leo! Flames! Now!" Leo's hands and Emily's hands were lit up but the wind had swirled around them and it doused the fire. There was a funnel cloud of sleet that lifted them off their feet. Emily would have said something but Leo had best her to her.

"Hey! Hey! Let me go!" Emily had managed to grabbed hold of Leo's hand and that was difficult for her to do but she had managed to do so. Emily had ran towards them but a voice had spoke and it was one that Emily knows and one she didn't want to hear again.

"Oh, yes, Leo Valdez. I will let you go permanently." They were shot skyward and Emily could hear Piper yell no as they were shot skyward. Emily had held onto Leo's hand harder as they zoomed across the sky, as they zoomed that Emily had noticed something. Once more, Emily had managed to smile, in a day for not far was the Helicarrier. Emily had used her poppy and it grew out till she felt it grabbed hold of one of the things on her Helicarrier. When she felt the winds stopped moving them to wherever they were suppose to, Emily and Leo were swinging back and forth. It was than that Emily realized that her sword had turned back to a hair clip and that she had her arms around Leo's neck and he was holding her around her waist. Emily sighed and put her head on his chest, she was glad that they were fine now or at least for the time being. Emily was about ready to say something when there was a hell from above.

"Elizabeth!" Emily had looked up as well as Leo and Emily had saw that Tony, her uncle and Thor were looking down at them. "Are you all right?"

"Other than the fact I don't want the winds to start or get zapped by Zeus, provided the fact that he is not having a headache, I am good and so is he." When Emily had said he that it seems that there was two that were hanging there. "Do me a favor and pull the poppy up. With what had happen in the last few weeks that I am not sure if I can use my powers to pull both of us up." Thor had disappeared and suddenly they were started to being pulled up. After a couple of minutes that they were helped up on the deck of the Helicarrier, Tony had brought up Leo while her uncle had brought up her up. Emily had allowed the poppy to grow back to the clip and she leaned against her uncle and she was breathing heavy.

"Are you all right, Elizabeth? You look like you been though hell and back again."

"I wish I have been with what has been happening since Camp Jupiter." Emily had notice Thor coming over and her uncle looking around than he had looked at her.

"Where's James?" Emily had looked over at Leo of who looked back at her, what could she say and what could she tell him. Since her uncle and come back that Emily had told him everything about he Greek and what he needed to know. Before he disappeared that her uncle had little knowledge of the Greek world.

"Hmm ... He kinda of..."

"Kinda of what?"

"He kinda of fell into Tartarus." There was a silence that followed that statement but thro had broke it.

"Tartarus? What is that?" The look that Leo gave Thor nearly made Emily laugh.

"You don't know what Tartarus is." Emily had stood up as Leo had spoke.

"I don't expect him to know that, out of the five us, the only ones who won't know is this two." Emily had pointed at Tony and Thor. It was Tony that had spoke.

"Lieut. Who is this kid?"

"Tony, I want you to meet Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus, Leo this is Tony Stark, iron man and Thor."

"Thor, as the avenger Thor, the Norse god of thunder." Emily looked over at Leo.

"No, Thor as in Jason's father." Leo gave her a funny look as well as thro, but Emily paid no heed to Thor. "Of course that Thor." After a few minutes that the five of them had entered the main room of the Helicarrier, Emily had passed many of the howling commandos as they walked though the Helicarrier. There was also some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as well. When they entered the main room that Barton, Natasha and Dr. Banner were there as well as Agent Hill and Nick Fury. However Nick was not in his usual black clothing of which was odd to see but Emily knows that was because of the fact that he was technically dead. Her uncle had sat down at the table and Tony had sat down on one side of her uncle, of which was a bit of a surprise. It was Nick who spoke first.

"What is the matter with you?"

"I had a rough couple of weeks. It seems like a never ending stream of monsters." Emily had sat down next to her uncle and Leo had sat next to her.

"No kidding. What is this thing powered by? Can it land in the sea? Can..."

"Leo!" Leo had looked over at her. "Don't try to figure this ship out. Besides we have other problems besides you trying to figure the Helicarrier out."

"Helicarrier?"

"Yes. It's a mix of a air carrier and a plane. But anyway, we were throw off the Argo II and we need to get to the Argo II but I have no idea of where it is that is if Khione had decided to change it's course like she throw the two of us off of it."

"Khione?"

"Goddess of snow."

"How is she a threat?" Emily looked over at Barton.

"Hawk, we are talking about the gods, even if the said god or goddess is a minor goddess." Emily and Leo had to explain of what happen to themselves to the avengers. When they were finished that Dr. Banner had spoke.

"We could trace it with different cameras and such."

"There is a chance but it would difficult since there is the mist. Of which make it difficult, if not impossible, to find the Argo II using mortal means."

"What else do you suggest?" Emily sat there and thought, she could pray to one of the gods to ask for help, like she had done with her mother.

"Well, either Leo can build something or I could pray to one of the gods for help. I am talking about the Greek/Roman gods not Thor and his people." As soon as Emily said that, that she heard Hestia's voice inside her head.

'Emily, follow the trail of hope and it will lead you to where you are suppose to go.' Emily had looked around and looked out of the window and she was close of felling off of her chair. For she could see a path just in front of the Helicarrier and it was not the wind, it was hope. She could sense hope in that trail, but it was clear that the others were wondering what was up.

"Emily, what is it?" Emily had looked over at Nick when he had said that.

"I don't know where we are going but I know a way to get there."
