So I was awesome enough to catch a mistake in TLO. You know the first line of the prophecy that was about Percy? It's: A half-blood of the eldest gods.
Well, the Olympians are NOT the elder/eldest gods *is fidgeting with excitement* Look it up! The elder/eldest gods is another name for the TITANS! So technically Rhea is the prophecy kid! Lolz, I wish. But I'm so proud of myself finding that mistake.
We ran until the nearest city, which was Las Vegas. We were all exhausted, the sunshine making us sweaty. We walked all
around town, until we stopped at the Lotus Hotel and Casino.
"Do you think?" muttered Rhea. Lily shrugged.
"One way to find out!" we walked in. This guy in bermuda shorts and a Hawian t-shirt came up to us.
"Welcome! Here are your game cards! Your room is 306! Have a great stay!" Calliope smiled.
"Really? SWEET!" and she ran toward the nearest game. Lily frowned.
"But don't we have to pay?" I wanted to tell her to shut up.
The guy laughed. "You're joking, right? Nice one!" Lily opened her mouth but Rhea dragged her toward the elevator. I ran toward this racing car thing.
I got the blackest car with flames on the sides. I made sure I killed each car in my sight.
I was in the fifth round when I was hauled from the back onto the wall. No one noticed, they were too busy playing games. I stared up, finding one cyclops and a girl with shocking blue eyes and chestnut brown hair, staring at me.
"Where is she?" the girl demanded. I frowned.
"Who?" I asked, my voice trembling.
"Lily! The daughter of spies! Tell us!" he growled. She had gone upstairs with Rhea to shower.
"Why?"
The cyclops hissed. "Tell us. Before you die." I backed away.
"Who do you work for?"
"Ouranos. Why?" I gasped and drew my spear.
"B-back away!" I said weakly.
The girl laughed. "Never!" She a burst of electricity shocked me. My body was numb, my spear dropped. She shocked me again.
"Where is she!" she demanded. I groaned.
"I won't say." Maybe Dad would slack off and take me to Elysium right away. If only... The girl shocked me again. I collapsed. I hope this quest wouldn't go in vain.
"Stop!" cried a voice. Oh no. My breathing was ragged. The girl tried to shock me but Lily jumped in front. She hissed, deflecting the blow with her scythe. I grabbed my spear with my numb hand.
"No Alex! Leave now! They want me!"
I hissed. "Never!" Lily faced me.
"Trust me." The cyclops threw a spear at her. Lily shattered it with her scythe. She started swinging her scythe. She gave a battle cry and slammed the butt of her scythe against the head of the girl, a horrible shattering crack. Ouch. The cyclops backed away. He sent a flame at Lily.
"Alex run!" she screamed as the flame went through her scythe and engulfed Lily. The cyclops snapped it's finger and the flame and Lily disappeared. I hit the cyclops with the butt of my spear.
"Hey ugly! Why are you working for Ouranos? Hey?!" the cyclops growled and charged toward me. I was ready. I was-
I stabbed the thing in the stomach. It disingrated quickly. I punched my fist in the air.
"Yes!" Now, I had to get everyone out, and save Lily.

The forest covered the presence of the strongest maiden Kronian. She had convinced the dryads and forest creatures to
support her cause, but it wasn't enough. Twenty years had gone by since she had last seen her spies. Her eyes flickered black, no longer gold. She snapped her fingers. Her wolves came over. Rhea smiled, despite herself.
"Go," she whispered. The wolves bowed and disappeared. A flicker of navy light. Rhea backed away.
"No!" she said. Ouranos appeared again. Rhea grabbed her scythe, which was leaning against a tree, and started to run. Ouranos laughed.
"Run! But you will never escape!" Monsters, too terrible to describe came out. Too ancient, the Kronians had never heard of them. Rhea's eyes widened. She faced Ouranos.
"You will never win!" Ouranos laughed.
"Let us see." he snapped his finger and celestial bronze shackles placed themselves around Rhea's wrists.
Now Rhea had disappeared for 488 years and she was flirting again. The Kronians had no clue where she was. It wasn't hard to convince Tom she was a Kronian. He was a C.I.A. member being promoted. Rhea smiled, for the first time in quite sometime.
Lily. Lily was in terrible danger. What had Rhea brought out? She did not know, except Ouranos was hunting two people. A two year old and a Kronian. What would she do? Rhea sighed, and stared at the sky.

Lily's lip was bloody from trying to put up a fight. She hissed as she was brought to a man with a crooked grin, and light brown
curly hair. His throne was made of stars. This was Ouranos.
"The other one!" he commanded a monster. The monster bowed and left. Ouranos smiled at Lily.
"It is time you learn and know what the truth is. Coming from the Kronian of Truth herself." Lily stared at him; her face blank. "And you will realize what there is to joining this side." There was a scream of protest. Lily turned around. A woman, about sixteen, with a torn dress and with jet black hair. Her eyes were at first pure gold, but then turned bloody red. The woman looked up and froze when she saw Lily. She staggared.
"Is that-?"
"Yes, my dear."
Rhea snarled. "You promised! You promised you wouldn't take her!" she screamed at Ouranos, her powerful voice echoing through the halls. Lily held her breath.
Ouranos chuckled. "I told you I refused to grant that." The woman snarled.
"You will never rise! I'll make sure of that!"
Ouranos smiled. "You wouldn't do that. You know the truth. Tell it to your daughter. Tell her, Rhea."
Wait wait wait, thought Lily. That was Rhea?
Lily gasped. "But that's not possible! She can't be Rhea!"
Ouranos laughed a heartless laugh. "The woman you thought was strong, stands before you. She wants me to grant a bless. Never! Tell her the truth, Rhea. Kronian of truth." Rhea shook her head.
"I won't ever!" she whispered. Ouranos leaned forward in his throne.
"But you know it's the truth. Don't you?" Rhea took a step back. She looked at Lily. "Tell her," hissed Ouranos.
Rhea stared at Lily. "No," she whispered. "I can't say it. They are my family. I won't let them die!" She hissed and screamed as Ouranos twisted her hand.
"Tell her the truth. Now!"
"What a grandfather you are!" Rhea spat and kicked him. Ouranos roared clutching his leg. Rhea took a deep breath and she started to struggle against her chains, slowly they opened and Rhea's eyes returned to gold. Rhea took the shackles off quickly. She grabbed her scythe from a monster.
"I'll take that, thank you very much!" she snapped.
"Get her!" roared Ouranos. Rhea held her hands and a flicker of silver erupted creating a circle around her and Lily. "Ah, a weak force field." Monsters ran toward Rhea but her form shimmered. Then, she came out as a girl with dark brown eyes, gold eyes, a black tunic and gray pants and black work boots. Ouranos charged with his weapon. Rhea flinched but then snarled and counterattacked with the same force.
Door burst open and Alex, Calliope and Rhea entered. Alex's spear was sparked with black electricity. She charged at the nearest monster.
"Lily!" she cried. Lily looked up and grabbed her scythe. She slashed the nearest monster and started with the next one. Rhea took out her bow and arrows and sent a sprout of arrows down the back of ten monsters, all at once. Calliope started to engange in a battle with one of the more advanced monsters.
Ouranos laughed as Rhea was slammed into a wall. Her scythe was erupting energy.
"How dare you bring Lily into this!" she sent a burst of energy at Ouranos. He stopped laughing and looked at Calliope.
"Come my little servant. Come," he purred. Alex froze.
"YOU!" she roared as Calliope's lips crept into a smile.
"Yes. Me," she said. "I serve Ouranos, what have the Kronians done? Rise, Ouranos!" The air hummed. "I am the Queen of Spies! I defyed the world! Spies!" Girls appeared one by one. "Serve me! The Queen of Spies!" Lily ran forward.
"No!" The girls turned toward her. "I am the Queen of Spies." Lily slashed her scythe at Calliope.
"DIE!" Lily screamed. Calliope started to counterattack. Lily stabbed her at her leg. Calliope staggared but continued. Lily smacked her with the butt of her scythe. Calliope's sword flew across the room. Calliope backed to the corner of the room. She screamed as Lily brought down her scythe.
