The moment Argus found out wasn't anything but wet. He cried so hard that the dining pavilion had to be set off limits so the harpies could help dry it. When Zeus found out there was the obvious anger and blasts of lightning at practically everything in Hades' living room. Demeter accompanied the shouts at figuring out exactly what happened to her daughter. But the moment Hestia appeared no one spoke. No one moved.

Hestia was relatively calm and peaceful, but she was so scarily quiet that it gave everyone unease. She descended into the dungeon filled with mad laughter and hysterical screams and she didn't come out until Persephone finished her knock knock joke about an interrupting cow.

She walked up to Hades,"Unless Charon has stopped following orders. There should be no way for her to cross the river."

Ares was the first to leave in search for her. Hestia sat on the couch melancholy and looked at the sofa across from her.

By the time Ares and the demigods came back from a fruitless search Hestia became a statue.

According to Demeter, she hadn't moved an inch since they left. She hadn't spoken a word to anyone.

Nico turned to look at Hestia, she didn't even look like she was breathing. He turned back to Demeter,"Why is she acting like this? Is it because of Hera's disappearance?"

Demeter shrugged,"I'm not sure...oh my Persephone. My sweet sweet Persephone."

Demeter sat in the sofa opposite to Hestia and sobbed into her hands.

Hades couldn't stand it. He just left. He walked outside and took in the vast, dark land. Je reached into his pocket and took out a very old cigar packet.

Way back when, when they were first invented, the only kind of sibling bonding the six of them would do was take a smoke together and talk. Maybr drink. That was until Persephone found out the kind of damage they did.

She begged them to stop and for the most part they did but every now and then when they wanted to roll off some stress one of the six would always bust out a cigarette and they'd have a relapse.

He sighed taking out a cigar and lighting it. He looked back out to the dark, cavernous land he learned to call home.

Home.

Even in her insanity Hera had registered Hades. Before Thalia and Nico arrived he checked on her and she talked to him in that horrible voice, but she called him brother.

She wasn't maddened enough to forget her family. And her family was home. The only other place she could be was the very place it started.

He put out the cigar and came back inside,"She's on Olympus. I don't know how but she's there. She has to be."

Demeter looked over at the half bloods. She nodded and blinked once at them and suddenly they felt like they were being sucked into a black hole and just as abruptly as it had started they landed on solid ground a little dizzy.

Percy covered his mouth,"Guh. I'm not sure how gods can stand that."

The others agreed as they looked toward the vast mountain. Exactly where would they even look?

Annabeth looked up at the statues that welcomed them through the gates of Olympus. Zeus and Hera both standing proudly arms outstretched with either a bolt or a lotus staff at hand. They seemed to real she almost thought Hephaestus had made them into automatons. But that was their answer.

"Let's start at her temple. If Zeus is there, that'll probably attract her." Annabeth stated as she began to walk up the mountain.

The others followed. None of them were sure how to feel about this. On the one hand it was terrifying. As mentioned before, a god going insane? Unheard of! But it was also satisfying, Hera had gotten what was coming to her eventually, torment. But did she deserve that? If it weren't for her, Gaia would've taken over and they wouldn't be standing where they are right now. What about Persephone? The most harm she's ever done is tied Will up and given him to Nico for Valentine's Day. And Athena? Annabeth still couldn't shake off the scream she let out calling for Ares.

They looked at all the gods that they passed and wondered, who could be next? Lovable Hestia or the fleet footed Hermes? Somber Thanatos or majestic Aphrodite?

Hell, Zeus could very well end up in the loony. What if it wasn't a god that was next but a mortal? What could happen to a mortal if they suffered through the same kind of torment the three goddesses went.

There were too many questions that not even the gods knew the answer to.

By the time they made it to the top of Olympus they heard an all too familiar scream.

Hera ran from the throne room barefoot hissing at all the bright lights. She jumped over the steps leading to the throne room and transformed into a tiger mid air.

"Great to know she still knows how to use her powers,"Percy commented.

The tiger goddess roared and ran to her temple. She snarled at Ares who turned into a mountain lion and followed her and the two disappeared as they pounced onto the roof and ran out of sight.
