OwlChaser113: I don't really get a real spring break :/ I'm part-time at my high school and part-time at community college and the breaks don't line up. But my plans do include: My cousin's wedding, more hours at work, baking with my little cousins, house/cat-sitting, and binge watching Merlin.


And worse it did get.

It started with their eyes and spread like an infection.

Although he wasn't reverted back to the "hug-able panda" he was before, Frank lost everything that came from the Blessing of Mars, as well as his archery skill.

Piper's voice became rough and raspy until there was nothing left and she'd gone mute. That, or she lost all will to even try and vowed silence. No one would ever truly know the real reason why.

Hazel and Nico's immune systems lost much of their strength and were now weaker than the average human's. They'd caught the common cold quickly, but the virus evolved quickly and the two were hospitalized in the infirmary, practically on their deathbeds.

And finally, Percy and Leo. The two boys were well known for their upbeat attitudes and their bright outlook on life (even if some of that was to cover up emotional pain.) Losing their powers hit the boys hard. Ocean and fire, respectively, were embedded so deeply into their personality, lives and souls. More so than the other demigod. They were in no way the same people now. Not only did their birth-given color leave their eyes, but the light did too.

Somehow, only those five were affected so much. Beyond the eye color and the loss of their powers, Reyna, Jason and Annabeth were left unaffected.

"But why?" Annabeth asked. She and the other two were sitting in the Big House discussing the very topic.

"Perhaps you're powers were so... miniscule that Zeus didn't feel the need to affect you as badly." Reyna suggested.

Jason nodded slightly with furrowed eyebrows. "That makes sense for her, but what about you and me?"

"You're his son." Reyna said after a moment of thought. "He wouldn't put you through anything beyond taking about aye your powers. Honestly, I'm surprised he did at all. As for me..." She trailed off.

"You were a fair and just praetor for years and did practically everything in his name." Annabeth suggested.

Jason frowned. "All these arguments feel weak."

"Its the best we've got. Besides, it doesn't matter why we are like this. It matters that everyone else isn't."

Reyna tilted her head, eyebrow raised in question. "What are you suggesting, daughter of Athena?"

"What I'm suggesting," she paused briefly, the anticipation rising. "Is a quest."


Welp, chapter 3 is done!

I recognize my chapters have been rather short, but it's so that I can update faster. If I don't set exactly how I want a chapter to end, I never end it and it never gets posted. And most of the time, if I try to make it longer, it gets boring and loses even more quality.

Thanks so much for reading. Please review!

I plan my next update to be on 100 Prompts or my Unwind fanciful Coming Home.
