Carter POV:

Waking up to an earthquake is never fun, especially when it's two o'clock in the morning. I looked over at my sister who was sleeping like a baby. I didn't understand how she could be sleeping. I ran outside to see if anyone else was awake but as I left my cabin the shaking feeling had left. I jumped back and forth, in and out, and every time the quake would start and end just as soon as I landed. I decided to stay inside and investigate the problem.

It felt like the quake was coming from the basement so I focused on the pain in my gut to lower myself deeper and deeper down. When I arrived I noticed my dad was standing just in front of me, smile and all.

"Isn't it great waking up early on a quest day?" He questioned sarcastically.

"Daaad" I complained.

"Look" he snapped "You are the leader of this quest no matter what so I need you to be as prepared as possible. I need you to know that the powers you have are not your greatest weapon. They drain your energy and are not worth the risk to give away your special move early. You need to be able to use your weapons, knowing how to transform the pen into each modification." I nodded along still in a slight daze. "And I need you to be able to protect your sister." he finished.

"Okay dad but I need you to know that she's quite nervous, unable to control her powers. It's come so easily to me and she is jealous."

"Well she shouldn't be because as far as I'm concerned she is learning earth and air faster than you are just like you are learning water and fire." he reassured me.

"Ok dad can I go back to bed now?" I asked.

"Yes but be ready for tomorrow" he said as he faded away sending me back up through the hole.

THAT MORNING.

I woke up again, late, leaving just 20 before we had to go. I quickly changed and put on my watch, after eating a breakfast bar I brushed my teeth and finished getting ready. since my bag was already packed last night I just threw it over my shoulder and walked out to the Big House.

"Good for you to join us" Calypso said jokingly.

"Wow first day on the quest and you're already cracking jokes." I commented back.

"Stop it" Jamie interrupted as chiron approached us.

"The realm unknown is going to be difficult to find, There's not much information on it except that there is at least one entrance per state. Other then that there are only clues and allusions that can help lead you to the entrance. Here is everything we know about this place." chiron said handing us each a folder with information.

I read the top line "area 51?" it read. I was taken aback, "everything we know about the realm unknown is correlated with aliens?" I asked.

"Just super natural occurrences, natural to us but if the humans can see it there must be an entrance there based on the research done by one graduate from new rome." Chiron informed us.

"So according to this the closest thing to an entrance in new york is in buffalo?" Jamie asked.

"That would seme to be accurate." Chiron confirmed.

"Well then we should get going, the faster we get there the faster we can get done and back, right?" Calypso packed away her folder.

Chiron guided us to the thousand eyed creature named argus. "He will take you to the train station, there you will have no assistance from the gods or any other immortal powers, unless it is beneficial for the quest and would happen either way." Chiron instructed as he opened the door of the Chevy Tahoe for us to get inside.

As we left camp we started talking strategy but before I knew it I was asleep, I wanted to stop time for a nap but I was too exhausted.

I was shaken up by Calypso, "wake up," she screamed "you're drooling on me."

"Sorry" I said before shifting back towards the side of the car door. However I couldn't get any sleep because we had just arrived at the station.

"Well Great realm unknown here we come" I said walking onto the train platform.
