Ch. 2

Artemis POV

"My husband and my aunt has been captured", I tell the hunt. They all have heard the news but were still shocked to hear it. "We will help find them pack up we set off as soon as we can", I command.

Perseus/Omega POV

I rolled around in pain, the two titans hovering over me. They would torture me not only for questions but for fun. They thought I was a demigod so after every torture session they would give me limited ambrosia.h

They picked me up then went to a table and strapped me down. Then they took their knife and drew flames on my chest. I screamed in pain and saw their smiles, followed by Hestia's face.

Jason POV

Leo found us transportation and we were off to Nebraska. Since we were against the giant Antaeus, we needed permission from the wind God so we were going to Boreas' penthouse in pennslyvania. We arrived to his penthouse when we were stopped by his two sons, Calais and Zethes.

They would not let us past the gate no matter what we say. "Demigods may not enter", they would say. A fight almost breaks out, but Piper uses her charmspeak to convince the two Boreads to allow usto enter the residence. Once inside the icy penthouse, we meet Boreas' daughter Khione, the Greek goddess of snow. Leo, almost immediately starts flirting with her even thought her heart is as cold as ice.

Calais and Zethes do not let Leo go in the throne room becuase they could detect Leo has fire powers that would melt the penthouse made of Ice. Piper and I then go inside to meet Boreas.

According to Boreas Aeolus is angry with the gods when they defeated Typhon in the war as it had released a wave of wind spirits, and he is expected to control them. Aeolus cannot take his anger out on the gods so he takes his anger out on their children Boreas explains. He has orders to kill any Demi God that comes and ask for help but is told to wait for a son of Zeus. He is to wait until he is to hear his story before passing any judgement.

I told him our story and asked him permission to use the winds to lift Antaeus in the air to kill him. Antaeus is only a half giant so he can be killed by only a demigod. Boreas was about to say no when he paused like he was getting a message in his head. After the message he faced me and said glumly," I grant you permission to use the power of the wind once son of Zeus but you have to learn how to use it. Now get out of my sight."

Clarisse POV

Before we went anywhere we had to go to find Phineasfor informations since we don't know what do do right now. We quickly found him in a food truck place in Nevada. He was a plump old man in bath robes and slippers.

We went over to the table he was sitting at and sat down next to him. "We need information", I said. "Demigods! How nice of you to join me lets see we have Frank Zhang, son of Mars; Hazel Levesque Daughter of Pluto; and Clarisse daughter of Mars." he said cheerfully," If you want information you need to do me a favor."

We all leaned in and I said," tell us the request first." "Well there is this harpy that steals my food every time I have some. I need to to capture it and give it to me so I can tie it up." He said. "That's cruel of you if you tie a harpy up it pains them gravely!" Hazel exclaimed.

"I know", he said," I want to hear it squeal in pain."

We took some food from his table to attract the harpy and learned that her name was Ella. I came up with a plan how to get the information and not to harm Ella. We came back his table and he said," back already and I hear you have the harpy, hand her o"ver."

"No we won't hand you any thing but we can make a deal" I said," I have two vials of gorgon blood one has the power to heal and one kills immediately you get one I get one. You write down the location Vesta is located and if I die you keep it if you die I get it."

"fine but you have to swear on the Styx that you do not know which blood is which," he said.

"Ok and you swear that the location is exact", I reply.

We swore on the Styx and each drank one vial. I started to feel hot and doubled over, my vision went blurry. "Nononono", Frank said," Clarisse you can't die." "Hahaha", Phineas Laughed," you see dragster of Mars you can't." My vision cleared and I saw Phineas on the ground doubled over. He started screaming and howling in pain. We took the paper in his pocket and it said Rose Theater, Nebraska.

"I know where it is", Frank said," Its about a two day drive I've been there."

Jason POV

Piper wakes up when Leo loses control and Festus falls to the ground. Fest broke our fall but he gets smashed into pieces. We then figure out that they are in Detroit. We go explore while Leo fix up Festus and get ready for our trip.

We hear a commotion in a ware house and go in. We see three Cyclopes in there and the door immediately shut. They capture us and bound us together, Leo comes in and destroys the three cyclops.

Just as we start celebrating, they start reforming so we fled. Leo manages to fix Fetus so we can continue the quest.

Clarisse POV

We visit Grandma Zhang's home in Utah which unfortunately has been surrounded by Laistrygonian giants who think that if they eat Frank, they will inherit his uses his gift from Mars and summons Gray to kill all the Giants inorder to go to his grandmother.

The irragation system blows up as we all drive out of the house leaving Franks grandmother in there.
