Hey guys! Here's another update. I'm trying to make up for lost time. Stay tuned for hopefully another chapter will be up within a week. I apologise if you feel this story has been dragging lately, I've got some new ideas now and it should be picking up. Please, as always, review and tell me what you think! Read, Enjoy and REVIEW! :)

Hazel

Hazel saw Percy striding up to where she and the rest of the seven were sitting in the dining room of one of the fancy hotels surrounding the Acropolis.

"Annabeth's sleeping in the infirmary. She should be fine, but she's knocked out cold. She'll need her rest for tomorrow."

Lots of people from both camps were in the dining room, rushing about. Jason nodded. "So do the giants. I don't think there will be any fighting for the rest of the day." It was now afternoon, but that didn't mean the giants wouldn't attack. However after the lengthy battle of the day, Hazel hoped the giants were just as exhausted as they were.

"So this is our chance," Frank muttered.

"What?" Hazel asked.

"Aida," Frank responded. "When we raided the giants base. Remember, I told you about Agrius? Well he mentioned Aida, and how she was one of the few people who knew how to use the spear. We need to find her."

Piper, who was listening in, nodded. "She knows how to use the spear, it seems important," she agreed, "we need to find her while we can." She added. The others murmured their agreement.

Clarisse hurried in, her head sweaty, still in her armour. "We're running out of swords rapidly. The 4th cohort has none left. And Hermes cabin have no armour or spears, they are out of action. Now they have picked a fight with the Demeter cabin and we're wasting time."

Percy quickly dealt with the problem. "Frank and Leo help out with the weapon and armour situation. Leo, make some crazy inventions! Frank, you can distribute them with Reyna. As praetors the Romans will listen to you, and the Greeks respect you. Piper, do you think you can sort out the cabin problems?" All three nodded.

"Then you, Jason and I can find Aida," Hazel spoke up.

"How will you do that?" Reyna asked. She was sitting nearby. Hazel smiled as she realised that Reyna was holding hands with Connor Stoll.

"Agrius said all you have to do is seek her out, and she will appear to you," Frank remembered. "But she's the goddess of modesty. She won't want to appear here, in this crowded place."

"So you can go out and find a deserted field somewhere nearby," Leo said simply. Hazel shook her head.

"I know an even better place. Where she is definite to appear. Her altar, here in Athens." Reyna nodded in agreement.

Percy looked uneasy. "I think I should stay with Annabeth."

A girl from the Apollo cabin, Darla, Hazel remembered as Will Solace's girlfriend, spoke up. "Percy, she's fine. You'll just create trouble hanging around the infirmary. She won't wake up for a few hours at least anyway."

Percy hesitated for a second, before nodded. "Ok then. Well there's no point wasting time. Let's go!"

…...

The wind was pleasant, as it winded around the plain altar happily, whistling. Hazel looked at the others, who nodded. She looked down at the solid slab of wood, lightly tarnished in an oaky colour. It was at the base of a secluded hill. Hesitantly she called out, "Mighty Aida, Goddess of Modesty, come!"

They all looked about, expecting a sudden appearance, but nothing happened. As Jason opened his mouth a chilly breeze wove around them, knitting together and slowly a small woman appeared in front of them, her eyes watching the ground, occasionally darting around. She stood before the altar, covering it up.

"You called, young Olympians."

After meeting Percy's eyes Jason started to speak, "Yes we called goddess," he bowed, "we would like your help and wisdom," he finished.

"How can I help you?"

Percy quickly answered, "We need to ask you a question," she gestured for him to go on, and deciding to be blunt, he completed his sentence, "What is the use of the Spear of Ouranos?"

She froze, her auburn hair swaying in the breeze. Her brown eyes looked at them clearly for the first time. She was wearing a simple white dress with a faded pattern. "The Spear of Ouranos. Why do you want to know that?"

Hazel carefully chose her words, "My lady, we are fighting a mighty war, and this knowledge may help us to win. You have always been a loyal goddess, and I hope you will now help us and impart your knowledge. We know that you used to guard the spear, and obtained the knowledge of how to use it." She figured diplomacy was the best way to go with this goddess.

Aida looked up at the clouds. "But what would you use it for?"

Percy decided that this was a waste of time. "To save the world. Well actually to kill her." Jason sighed at Percy's remark.

Aida took a quick look at Percy before answering, "I see." She changed her line of sight and thought in silence. Hazel waited patiently for some time before realising that Aida didn't seem to be with them anymore.

"Well?" Hazel inquired.

"Oh yes-" Snarls broke her sentence, interrupting their peaceful conversation. Hazel turned and watched as two empousai sprinted towards them, fangs wide open.

Percy charged, Riptide in hand. "HALT!" An empousai shrieked. "WE must stop this. We will not let her tell you anything," she screeched.

Hazel looked at them and then realised that the empousai knew what was happening. They had known that they were here, and why they were here. Hazel took charge.

"How did you know we were here?" she exclaimed.

The empousai cackled. "Our little spy tells us everything!" She threw her head back and laughed hysterically. Percy froze in horror, mouth agape.

Suddenly, in anger, Percy charged her, but the second one dashed forward and lunged at him with her fangs. He sliced her with Riptide, but she dodged and bolted away. "NO!" Hazel shouted. She focused intently and manipulated the mist, turning the world 180 degrees for the empousai, who suddenly turned round, slashing at the air. Jason ran forward, and forcefully stabbed both.

They all gave a sigh of relief. "I should probably leave now." Aida said, looking shaken. She was starting to fade.

"No, no don't go," Hazel said, turning round. They had all forgotten about their purpose in this field, too shocked by the revelation of a spy in their own camp.

"No, you seem busy enough. This is a dangerous place, I will leave."

"Please," Hazel begged, "if you don't the whole word will turn to war, is this what you want? An outrageous war. Is this what you, the goddess of modesty, want?" Hazel queried.

Aida sighed, "Fine I shall stay. Now where were we?"

"What is the use of the spear?" Jason quickly added.

"Ah yes," she looked a the sky before continuing, "The Spear of Ouranos will be the fall of the world. It harnesses a deadly power, but may only be wielded by Ouranos, Lord of the Sky."

Hazel blinked, and looked at her friends. Legend stated that Saturn, or Kronos, had cut up Ouranos, after Gaia had urged him to. Now they heard that Ouranos was the only one able to wield the spear. Then that meant this was all hopeless. But Juno herself had set Frank and Piper on course to the spear. Why would Juno do that? Had she known that Ouranos was the only one able to use it? Had all of the efforts put into the spear been a waste?

Aida however, kept muttering to herself. Hazel figured she was a bit loopy. But then Hazel listened more closely to what she was saying.

"Alas, Ouranos is not here. He's not here. Not. Here. It's a shame," she murmured, "that he is never to walk the earth again. Unless," she smiled a little to herself, "the Divine Scriptures of the Parthenon are correct. The resurrection of Ouranos. It has a nice ring to it. If it was even possible." She wondered. "If the scriptures are to be believed."

Hazel gave a little gasp. Aida's eyes snapped to them. She blushed. She looked to the ground and started walking backwards. "I forgot I had company. I should not have said that. Some secrets should never, ever be revealed, especially not to mortals." There was now a note of fear in her voice. "I shall go. Now."

"Wait!" Hazel cried, but it was too late. Aida had already dissolved into rays of light.

Percy ran a hand through his hair. "Did you hear what she was saying?" Jason nodded slowly.

Hazel stared at the altar. "The Divine Scriptures in the Parthenon. We need to see them. Quickly!"

Jason met her eyes. "But what about the spy? We have a mole. We can't reveal anything. We've got to tell the rest of the seven." He said seriously.

Percy shook his head in disbelief. "I still can't believe someone would betray us," he said, dismayed.

Hazel was uneasy as well, but she knew that they needed to get going. They only had one day of rest. They didn't know when the next opportunity to find the scriptures was.

"We'll talk to the rest of the seven about it. About everything," Hazel said firmly.

Percy nodded, albeit a bit glumly. "Annabeth will probably know what these scriptures are. Let's go talk to our friends."

…

It had been evening when they left, but now when Hazel, Percy and Jason returned to the camp, night was falling rapidly.

As they walked to the hotel Percy slipped away to check on Annabeth. Hazel watched the actions around the base. People scurried in and out of the colossal, loud, fire lit forges carrying glowing pieces of metal in cloth. Others came out of armouries, full to the brim with weapons, in their glistening armour.

She saw the entrance to their hotel, The Plaza, and following Jason, strolled in. She saw Reyna in the lobby, in her distinctive praetor armour, discussing plans with Hank, leader of the 2nd Cohort. They entered the dining area, and Hazel saw Frank. She ran over to him and kissed him. Piper hugged Jason.

"Did you mange to deal with all the problems?" Jason asked as they all sat down.

Leo nodded. "Yup, it didn't take too long. What about you? How did your little chat with Aida go? You bring back any biscuits for me?"

Frank laughed. Hazel noticed that Leo and Frank seemed to be getting along really well nowadays.

Before Hazel or Jason could answer, Percy walked in, his arm around Annabeth, who was looking much better now. Percy helped Annabeth into her seat before sitting down himself.

"I've filled Annabeth in," Percy said. He looked at Hazel. "Have you told the rest what we found out?"

Hazel accounted what had happened, Jason and Percy sometimes pitching in. When they finished the story, there was a stunned silence.

"A spy?" Frank asked. Jason nodded.

"But who?" Leo wondered, shaking his head.

"We don't know. But we shouldn't waste time over it. We just don't tell many people our plans. Only people we trust completely." Percy locked eyes with Annabeth.

Hazel nodded. "Annabeth, we learnt about the Divine Scriptures. You know what they are?"

"I think so. And I also know how to get them. Piper and I will go look for them tomorrow. The rest of you should stay here. The enemy armies are regrouping, according to my shield. We should be ready for an attack."

Everyone mumbled their assent. Suddenly they heard a meow from outside. A cat burst into the room. Percy shot up, Annabeth at his side.

"Small Bob!" Annabeth cried. The cat turned round and ran out, the demigods following.

Outside, standing in the park was a tall titan, with crazy silver hair and a happy grin on his face. Beside him was a giant dressed in red, his hair in the usual giant locks, but with a kindly look on his face. Hazel raised her spear, but stopped when she saw Percy and Annabeth's face.

Percy grinned. "Bob! Damasen! Small Bob! You arrived!"
