Bianca walked over to the big house. As it came into view she saw Cayla, Lucas, Zach, and Marcus. Oh great Bianca thought. It's not that she didn't like Marcus, it's that she didn't like change. Cayla, Lucas, Zach, and her were allows just the four of them when they hung out. Sure they had other friends, but no one ever wiggled their way into their close-knit group. Well except Marcus. First, he was just friends with Lucas. Apparently his and Marcus's bunks were next to each other in the third cohort. They would stay up pass curfew to talk or play mythomagic or something. Then Zach and Marcus started dating and after a few double dates, even Cayla started to think of Marcus as a friend. Bianca still wasn't sure. Change just wasn't her thing.
"Hey Bi." Cayla said, leaning on the rail with Lucas at her side.
"Hey." Bianca replied.
"We're all packed for the quest." She told her friend.
"You guys want to go." Bi questioned.
"You're not going with on it without us." Zach told her.
"Besides Zach, Amber, and I went on a quest before they became praetors. So we have experience." Lucas explained.
"You sure?" Bi asked.
"Definitely." Cayla said.
"Plus, now we can finish the pact." Lucas reminded her.
"Please tell me you're not holding us to that. We were nine." Cayla complained.
"What pact?" Marcus asked.
That was another thing that annoyed Bianca. Whenever they brought some old memory or something, they had to explain it to him.
"When we were nine his dad and my Aunt Thalia told us about a quest they went on a long time ago. Both his parents had to hold the sky. It put a gray streak in their hair. So after that we made a pact after that put a gray streak in our hair if we ever went on a dangerous quest together." Zach explained.
Marcus stared at his boyfriend for a few moments, thinking. "I think it would look nice."
"I'm not doing it." Cayla said.
"I think it would look sexy on you." Lucas told her.
"What would look sexy?" Leo asked as the parents and Chiron walked over.
Lucas blushed slightly from embarrassment and Cayla expression became annoyed.
"Are you ready for your quest?" Chiron asked.
"I just need to pack." Bi said.
"Your companions?"
"Us." Cayla told the centaur.
"The prophecy called for only four." He stated, counting five teens.
"I'm not going." Marcus said.
"You're visiting from the other camp, correct?" Chiron acknowledged.
"Yeah. I was gonna hang with friends for the summer, but..." Marcus explained.
"I have a satyr friend named Oscar. I think you guys would be good friends. You two should hang out." Bianca told him. She may not liked Marcus being apart of their little group, but he was in a new camp and already had Tristan as an enemy. The guy was gonna need someone on his side.
"Satyrs, they're like fawns, right?" Marcus asked.
"Physically, but satyrs are helpful, not lazy beggars like fawns." Bianca explained.
"The four of you should get packed and meet me at Thalia's Tree. We believe the lost refers to Artemis's lost bow. And Marcus, I hope you enjoy your time here." Chiron said, walking away. Their parents left too, discussing something with Chiron.
"Just avoid Tristan and you will." Cayla told him.
"No offense, but it'll be nice not being the ones Tristan's tormenting." Bianca said.
"Every summer, 'You stay away from my Zach or else'." Cayla mocked.
Bianca left and packed her bag. Russell and Ruby were already gone. She packed clothes, drachmas, and lots of nectar and ambrosia. She walked up the hill to Thalia's tree. Cayla, Lucas, Zach, Marcus and Makenna stood there with Chiron, their parents, Thalia, and someone else.
"Uncle Nico?" Bianca said with shock.
"Hey BiBi." He replied.
"Why'd you come?" She questioned.
"Just wanted to wish you good luck in person." He explained.
Everyone said their goodbyes to one another. Bianca made sure this goodbye was special because she was sure it was her last. Everyone was hugging everyone. Bianca's parents reminded her to stay safe and be careful. Marcus kissed Zach and wished him luck with the quest.
After all the goodbyes, the four legacies walked through the barrier. Well, three of them did. Cayla lagged behind, playing with the charm on her bracelet, a nervous habit of hers.
"Cayla, we gotta go." Bianca told her, a bit of sadness and fear in her voice.
Cayla walked over and they went down the hill.
"It's alright, the quest scares me a little too." Lucas whispered to her girlfriend.
"The quest doesn't scare me." She told him.
"What is it then?" He questioned.
Cayla picked up her pace and walked next to Bianca. Cayla wasn't to explain that the barrier was what bothered her. She definitely not wasn't ready explain why it bothered her.
