Arigato, minna-san! LAHVE YU ALL! SO HERE IS CHAPTER 10! WHOOO!

Εξαίρεση

~Katniss POV~

I open my eyes a bit. I see and feel the cold marble floor of a creamy color. I'm still dazed and I can't get up from my position. So I lay there, on the cold floor, surrounding my every movement.

I open my eyes a little bit more, across the floor I see a peculiar symbol that for some reason I feel like calling "Omega".

I go slowly into a sitting position and rub my eyes continuously. I'm not a person for teleportation, one of my nightmares.

"Rise, Hero of the Future." A thundering voice says, overwhelming my ear drums.

I do my best to obey the order of the thundering voice. I look up and see giants, sitting lazily on heavenly decorated thrones. Each yet so unique and original in detail.

"Katniss Everdeen. Hero of Panem. The Huntress. Victor of the 74th Hunger Games. Mockingjay." A calm demanding female voice said.

"Athena. Take your seat. No one asked for her multiple names." Another voice, calm as the sea, proclaimed.

She glared at him for a while then sat down.

"What am I doing here? And where is 'here'?" I asked demandingly.

The first voice which told me to rise, spoke in his thundery voice, "Welcome to the Olympus."

The Olympians dwell in Olympus. The Olympian gods, right before my eyes. Only that there were only eleven now.

All of the sudden I see a cloud of sea mist a few feet away. Once the cloud disappears I see…..

"Percy!" I say as I rush toward him.

I kneel down beside him. He is clutching his head and rubbing it.

"Where are we?" He asks

"Olympus..?" I say quietly.

As soon as I said that word his eyes opened immediately, scanning the room. He then gets up as I help him.

Then that thunder voice speaks, "Perseus, Hero of Olympus."

Does he always have to add a dramatic effect? Who is that creep anyway?

I then see Percy kneel down before the gods. I stand watching him for a few seconds when it hits me. Kneel down, Katniss! At the thought of that, I automatically do.

"Rise Heroes. No need for that right now. We have a war to discuss." The goddess Athena says.

Me and Percy rise.

"You must be wondering why you're here." Athena starts, "There is another battle among us. A battle far worse than the 'Great Prophecy' foretells at the moment. And far worse than your ridiculous rebellion, Katniss."

I see Percy winced when she said "far worse than the Great Prophecy". But what got my attention was when she called my battle ridiculous.

"Ridiculous?" I ask astounded.

"Yes. In the end of your battle, the whole purpose for the rebellion will start all over again. You shall see child of the future."

What's with all the names? My name is Katniss, and that's that.

"Now I believe Apollo and Artemis wish to speak with you, Katniss."

I look over to Percy who gives me a smile. I smile back for once.

"AH….So you must be Katniss." I believe Apollo says.

He gets up from his throne and removes these white ear-buds from his ears. As he steps down from his throne he gets smaller, my size.

"How's my Stephanie?" He asks smiling.

"Uh…great?" I say somewhat taken aback from his humor and expression.

"No time for that, brother." I believe Artemis says as she gets into my size, alongside her "brother".

Artemis grabs my hands with hers and rubs them. Then she takes her hand and puts it on my chin, grabbing it and tilting my face into various angles for her to see.

Then a smile comes onto her face.

"Well, you are a bright huntress, my dear. I've seen the way you shoot. You have amazing spunk. I would have been honored for you to be a hunter alongside me, but sadly, you hang around many boys, even having one as a best friend, correct?"

I nod gently, analyzing her every face feature.

"Ah, let it go, sis." He then directed his attention to me, "The only reason they all know about you is because of me. The god of prophecy." Apollo said proudly as he strikes a pose.

Artemis rolled her eyes.

"Katniss, please take out the bow and arrows that you used to fight the Hydra." she said.

I took them out and they were still black from when I launched Nico's sword. She then took it and it became a pure white color. Then magically the bow bended at an irregular angle until it formed into…a bracelet.

Artemis took my arm and wrapped the pure crystal bracelet around me.

"Now allow me." Apollo said getting the arrows from Artemis.

The arrows turned into a golden color and somehow all the arrows formed into one and it shrunk into the size of a mere pebble. He then got the miniature arrow and clicked it on the priceless bracelet.

"There! Now you have a way to hide your weapon from mortals. A bracelet with a charm on it." Artemis said proudly, "I shall grant you another type of arrows if you earn more of my respect."

"Same here." Apollo said with a wink.

They then went back to their thrones, growing into giants once more. I stared at the wonderful bracelet. Even Percy came to my side to look at it.

"Its name is Paggos Fotia." Apollo said, pointing at my new weapon.

"Paggos Fotia…" I mumble under my breath.

After a moment of silence I feel like asking something that has been secretly bothering me since that day I met Oran.

I cleared my voice and spoke clearly.

~Percy's POV~

I was looking at Katniss' new weapon. Paggos Fotia. It's Greek for "Ice Fire". Then she cleared her voice, which got my attention.

She looked up toward the gods and asked, "Am I a demi-god?"

"I don't know, my dear. You're not mine. That's for sure." Zeus said calmly.

After a moment of silence Zeus spoke again.

"Anybody in this Council?"

Katniss looked disappointed when all of a sudden, Artemis spoke and stood before the rest.

"You are not my child Katniss, but something about you…reminds me of who I am."

"Yeah, I wanted to say something similar to that." Apollo said as he had one iPod earplug on.

"But I'm not your daughter either, right Apollo? Because I come from the future, and you don't exist in my future." Katniss said exasperated.

What the Hades did she just say? She just defied the Olympians! I looked over to Zeus who looked pretty irritated. My father has a curious look. The rest are somewhere in between the two.

"She didn't mean-" I began but got cut off.

"We exist in your future. We just don't show ourselves to your people. Besides, your people are in the middle of a ridiculous war that has no point." Athena pointed out rudely.

I looked over at Katniss, whose expression turned from a curious to fired up. She balled her fists and I knew for a fact that she was about to say something we would all regret later. Sadly, I didn't have the heart to stop her.

"You idiots!" she spat with great force," You know about my war, and don't do anything to give me a signal that everything is going to be alright. You never even bothered helping us! I have been suffering for years because of the country I come from! And you bastards just look at us, tearing each other from limb to limb, and don't give a single damn to what the hell is happening. I am suffering because those evil people called the "Capitol" took Peeta away from me! HOW CAN YOU LET THEM TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME!"

There was silence. Katniss' rage flew off her. That's what makes her who she is, her actions. Her radiance sparkles right before me. Taking me to another dimension where all I can see are trees and a lake. Berries in hand. Looking into the eyes of the boy with the bread. Knowing that I will die soon. But at the same time, fighting. Fighting for what I want. What I need.

Forevermore…..

"ENOUGH!" roared Zeus, bringing me back to reality.

"Wait!" Athena said as she got to her feet, "She has a point. I know we do not take part in the mortals' wars, but yet, how come we didn't even respond to any of their pleas? At all? Not even a son or daughter? Not even a wave or a lightning bolt!"

I looked over to Zeus and my dad. They had a reconsidering look. Leave it to Athena to convert the men. I thought that was Aphrodite's job.

"She has a point." Ares joins in, "I would have at least helped the winning side. I wonder what happened."

"Apollo?" Demeter asked as she glanced over to him, with his ear plugs in his ears.

"APOLLO!" roared Zeus.

Apollo got startled and took off the earplugs immediately. He acts so immature, but hey, that's Apollo for you. You could hear the song Hot Mess come out from the earplugs.

"Yeah?" He answered casually, after being startled.

"Why did we not aid the rebellion in the future?" Athena asked.

"I honestly don't know." He said with a bit of worry. A bit.

"Well whatever was the reason, I'm sure we had a good one." Zeus said calmly.

I looked over at Katniss, who was looking down, scanning the floor.

"Then why am I here? Does "Kronos" have anything to do with this?" she asked with great force.

Kronos? How did she know Kronos? I don't remember Stephanie or Rachael teaching her the Titans. I glanced at her. She was still awaiting for an answer. I glanced over at the gods. Athena was smirking.

"We are unsure why you came here. I do think it might be because Kronos decided to make a secondary plan. Considering his main one is bound to fail." Athena said, analyzing her strategies and Kronos'.

"Everybody says 'think', 'might be', or 'maybe'. I need a straight answer. I can't keep relying on suggestions!" Katniss proclaimed.

Then a quick random question hit me.

"Who's everybody?"

Her eyes grew.

"Percy….I haven't told you what I know from my time. Mitzuki is the Oracle. Oran is a demi-god. His mother is the goddess. I don't know which though. They told me that if we keep seeing each other….a trigger will be triggered. And someone will die. And all hell will break out."

"You never told me that. When did you find out?" I asked

"Before I came here. I was at the training center. Oran teleported me to the place you battled Sora. Mitzuki and he were explaining stuff. Then Oran teleported me back. Then…..I had a nightmare. Of a girl biting me. Her giggle was menacing and evil." She hugged herself, "Her vicious fangs, and the pain when they struck me as they sunk into my bare flesh." She shuddered and closed her eyes for a moment.

That sounds familiar. A girl with a…giggle.

"I saw that. I saw as she bit you. After that she tried shushing me." I said.

Her eyes grew.

"A dream?" my dad asked as he raised his brow.

"Morpheus." Athena proclaimed.

"The god of dreams." Demeter mumbled.

I looked at Katniss.

"What is going on?"

~Katniss POV~

Somebody tampered with my head. Somebody had the gull that they could just scare me off with a nightmare. They stuck my weak spot. My brain.

"WHY?" I spat at the court.

"We are unsure." Athena simply responded.

I balled my fists.

"Why did you summon me here then?" I asked.

"You and Percy must find out who is this 'trigger', keep him or her safe. And find out why he is doing that. We are sending you two on a quest. Also find Athena's daughter. Her disappearance has something to do with this. We are asking you directly. Now leave my court!" Zeus proclaimed.

And with that we vanished.

I look at my new surroundings. I'm at that cliff in Athens. My fall was painful. It's like the gods just dropped us from the sky. Then I realize why my fall was uncomfortable.

"Get off me, Percy."

"Huh? Whaaa?"

He was dazed from the fall. Then his eyes gleamed, understanding the situation.

"OH, sorry."

He immediately got off. I rubbed my stomach slowly.

Silence…..then I realized something. Paggos Fotia had a new charm.

"Wow. It's beautiful." I heard Percy saying. I looked to my side and saw him sitting next to me, admiring the new arrow charm.

It is a deep purple charm. An arrow. From Artemis, I can feel it. I earned it….but how?

"She must have admired how you spoke out against all odds to them. She admires you greatly, Katniss." Percy said, reading my thoughts.

He then smiled. All I could picture was that moment. With the sea breeze surrounding me, absorbing my every worry. Then that moment was broken.

"KATNISS! PERCY!" A way too familiar hyper voice said.

"Run!" Percy yelled as he got to his feet and helped me up right away. We started running toward the trees.

"AW! Come on guys! Don't you want a Stephi-hug?" Stephanie asked from behind.

A Stephi-hug? NO I DO NOT. You almost made me black out last time.

"NEVER!" Percy yelled.

Then Kyron teleported in front of us.

"Just give it a rest. We've been trying to find you everywhere. HECK! I missed my snack for this!"

Then a panting Stephanie came up from behind us.

"No fair!"

I rolled my eyes. She was amusing, but childish.

"Where are Nico and Rachael?" Percy asked.

"They are looking for you on the beach, below the cliff but wayyy far west. Where the beach actually starts. We were worried. Well the gals were. Nico and I wanted to just sit back and shilax. But nooo! Stephanie and Rachael where all like: OHMEHGAWD! PERCY! KATNISS! LIKE WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU! It was annoying." Kyron said as he shook his head.

"I am not annoying! I was worried!" Stephanie said, defending herself.

I was getting inpatient.

"Let's look for the others already! You guys argue on the way there. When I'm a couple of yard away from you and I can't hear you." I proclaimed as I put my hands on my hips.

They rolled their eyes. Typical of those two. But while they roll their eyes, they smiled.

"Alright then, Mr. and Mrs. Party Poopers, lead the way!" Kyron exclaimed.

Percy looked taken aback. I didn't care. I'm glad they saw it my way.

There was silence on the way down the cliff. I was walking with Percy by my side, staring off into space about our meeting with the gods. I could hear Kyron and Stephanie bickering and laughing from a distance behind us.

"So….what are we going to do?" Percy asked, breaking the silence.

"I honestly don't know. But first's first. Annabeth." I say somehow feeling awkward saying 'Annabeth'.

"Besides that. I meant about this 'new war'." He said.

"I think we should go in hunt for this 'Morpheus' to see what that nightmare meant. We should also-"

"What's going on?" a familiar redhead's voice interrupted.

I spun to see Nico, Rachael, Stephanie, and Kyron right behind us. I could feel my eyes grow.

I looked over at Percy. He gave me a confident smile.

"Kyron, take us to where you found the Yankees cap. I'll tell you guys the details of what is happening on the way."

"Alright then. We are going to the Parthenon. FOR REALS NOW, NICO!" Kyron said.

"I'll gladly go with you, Kyron!" I exclaimed.

"I'll tag along with Nico." Rachael volunteered, "BUT YOU BETTER FILL ME IN!"

She then smirked proudly and crossed her arms.

I smiled.

"Rachael is an awesome girl."

~Percy's POV~

"I'll tag along with Nico." Rachael said simply, "BUT YOU BETTER FILL ME IN!"

She then did her usual 'I do what I want, and get what I want' smirks. Then she crossed her arms. As usual.

I glanced at Katniss, she then smiled. I felt comfort at the sight of it.

And all I can taste is this moment….

I remember the dance. As she exposed her soft side.

And all I can breathe is your life…

The side she didn't like to show. She was fearless and brave on the outside, but crumbled on the inside.

And I don't want the world to see me….

She needs someone to lead her. I want to be the one to get her out of her misery.

Cause I don't think that they'd understand….

Her life has been harder than my own. I can't let her suffer alone.

When everything's made to be broken…

I will be the one, to save her.

I just want you to know who I am…..

Then Nico snapped in my face.

"Let's go! Like now!" He spat.

I looked over at Katniss, Rachael, Stephanie, and Kyron looking at me

"Oh yeah….sure."

"LET'S DU DIS TING!" Kyron yelled as he twirled his finger.

I saw Katniss looking nervous. I smiled at her and she returned it. Then in a blink of an eye we were back in the Acropolis.

"We made it…." Katniss said relieved.

Then in a shadow came with Rachael and Nico. Rachael was in shock, but that's natural.

"Never again." Rachael said as she got next to us.

"NOW EXPLAIN WHERE YU WERE, MISTER!" Stephanie yelled in my ear.

"Okay I- we will." I said as I glanced at Katniss.

"Take us to where the cap was, Kyron. We shall explain on the way." Katniss ordered.

"Yeah, what she said." I said simply.

So we walked. Where? Who knows, only Kyron and….maybe Nico knew?

"By the way, do you know where Kyron found the cap, Nico?" I asked curiously.

"No, I was buying us some food when all of the sudden he came to me with it." Nico stated.

There was silence then eventually I realized me and Nico were behind the rest. I nudged him, telling him we better hurry up.

I saw Katniss explaining things to the others.

So I should as well.

~Katniss POV~

"….And so, we should probably go in search of Morpheus. But first is Annabeth." I stated as we got closer to some hills.

"Why is Annabeth always first?" Rachael asked annoyed.

"She's our friend!" Stephanie proclaimed, "Sure, I've only talked to her once, and that was during camp over the summer. She was on my Capture the Flag team. We made a good team. We talked all that day, and then we stopped. She's an awesome girl. WE MUST FIND HER!"

"Well, here we are." Kyron said as we stood in front of a dark cave, hidden among the hills.

It looks like the sun shall leave us in three hours or so. I looked back to see Nico and Percy talking. But eventually, they caught up.

"FINALLY!" Stephanie proclaimed as Percy and Nico got in front of the cave alongside us.

"I found it in there. It was against a wall in the far back place of the cave." Kyron stated.

"Then let's go. The sooner we find Annabeth, the better." I stated as I began to lead inside.

Everyone followed along. I was leading, but eventually Kyron was next to me. Inside the cave, torches were lit, so the dark wasn't an obstacle now.

I then glanced at Kyron. I never truly got to examine him right. He is ignorant and too care-free. His purple-speckled green eyes resemble mysteriousness. His black silky hair flows around his head.

"I know I'm beautiful, but you got to stop staring." Kyron stated as we walked in front on the others from a distance.

"What! I wasn't staring at you!" I yelled.

"Sure you weren't….." He said sarcastically.

Then I heard a rumble. I think Kyron heard it too since he stopped.

His eyes grew.

"Not now." He then started running to the others who seems were left behind.

I ran after him. After we reached the others, I noticed Rachael was unconscious against a rock.

This was a way we didn't pass into. It's a huge circular chamber. We were on top of a flight of stairs that led down to the rest of the circular room. The north of this cave had a hot spring with millions of small waterfalls pouring into it.

Percy had Riptide out and was fighting against shadows on the far left of the chamber.

He seemed somewhat tense from all the shadows around. Then I looked for Stephanie. She was hiding with Nico on the opposite end of the chamber. Nico was warding off ghosts.

"Erebus and Melinoe." Kyron whispered to himself before cursing.

He then jumped down the stairs. Not go down, jumped. He jumped a 15 foot drop. He then sprang into action. Out of thin air he got a shimmery dim purple sword, with neon green highlights on it. The green reminded me of Oran for a moment.

Then Stephanie's scream got to me. Nico was warding off ghosts on another part, and losing. Stephanie was surrounded by a series of shadows and ghosts. She had an unconscious Rachael near her.

"Like what you see?" A female icy voice tickled my neck.

I then felt I got pushed down the flight of stairs. On my way down I heard a crackling wicked laugh by her.

Thump. I hit the ground. I can't feel my wrist. It doesn't hurt, but I can't feel it. I then heard another thump.

"Weakling. You're supposed to save humanity? Pathetic." The female voice said as she kicked me in the stomach.

I grunted and then I felt another kick. Flipping me toward her. I could now see her. She had icy white hair and blue pale eyes. Almost white. Her smile was a different story. It looked creepy enough to give you nightmares.

"Do you mind if we kill the trigger? I hope not, because you will be drowning in her own blood." She spat icily.

She. She said the trigger was a "she". She then kicked me back, facing the ground now.

"Have you captured her, Erebus?" She spat.

"She's right here."

I can't see since I'm facing down, and I don't have the strength to get up. My wrist still didn't respond to me. My wrist…..the bracelet! I slowly took the bracelet off and it immediately went to its form. As I hold it I feel a bit of energy come back to me.

"Damn it, Melinoe!" Kyron yelled.

I can stand. I stood up with bow in hand and I chose the small golden charm. Immediately, the charm grew and multiplied. I took aim toward the girl. That's when I saw her partner, a guy with dark skin. His eyes a pitch black, you can't even see the pupils. His hair is also pitch black. And in his arms I saw the trigger. She was the girl who always tackled me with her hugs. The girl with the sandy hair and chocolate eyes.

"Stephanie!"

~Percy's POV~

I was confused. How the hell can I be walking trying to catch up to Kyron and Katniss when all of the sudden we are lured into this chamber? I was battling a hologram, basically. Shadows swarming all around me. That's when he joined my battle.

"Miss me, Perseus?" Kyron joked as he twirled his weird dark purple with some green, sword.

I rolled my eyes in response. I then concentrated on the battle. When the shadows touched you they burned you, similar like to a jellyfish sting. Not cool at all. I already have ten or more stings by the shadows. By waving the sword around, they back off…momentarily.

"Do you mind if we kill the trigger? I hope not, because you will be drowning in her own blood." A female spat from a distance, and it wasn't any of the girls that joined us here.

I spun to see the girl, only to get stung by the shadow. She had white hair and pale eyes.

"Have you captured her, Erebus?" She spat as she talked to whoever Erebus is, because I can't see him.

"She's right here." A dark threatening voice echoed. And from the shadows, he came…carrying…Stephanie!

"Damn it, Melinoe!" Kyron yelled from a distance.

I spun to help Kyron, but clearly he didn't need help. His sword glowed and the shadows sunk into the earth. He then ran toward Erebus and Melinoe.

"Tsk, tsk. You two don't understand, do you? Don't mess with me and my mom, bastards!" He said in a creepy voice.

Kyron's fun-loving aura turned into a dark creepy one.

Then a fire arrow shot. It hit Melinoe right at her chest. She went back, far. And I mean really far. Then a splash was heard. Melinoe has gone for a swim.

"STEPHANIE!" Katniss yelled.

She ran toward Erebus and aimed. She then shot and missed as Erebus shadow-traveled with an unconscious Stephanie in his arms. He then appeared on the top of the flight of stairs. A cloud of ghostly mist appeared next to him.

"See you suckers! And farewell, Kyron." She winked flirtatiously at him.

"MELINOE!" Kyron growled as he ran. I looked for Katniss who was tending to a dazed awoken Rachael. I went toward them.

"What are you doing here? GET STEPHANIE BACK!" Katniss spat in my face.

"Alright! Sheesh! Your temper hasn't changed since the day I met you!" I spat back as I began to go for the stairs.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Katniss asked as I reached the top of the stairs.

I then exited the chamber. I looked around the endless lit-up tunnels. I heard clashing and fighting in another chamber nearby. I ran as fast as I could. Until I reached it.

I peered into it. Lava was everywhere. This was an irregularly shaped chamber with pools of lava at random places. I then began to feel weak. But I can't back down, not now.

I looked for them and I didn't see them until I saw a shadow erupt from the ground, with a tossing and turning Erebus and Kyron coming out of it.

"I thought I told you guys I would get the job done! So back off!" Kyron grunted as he punched Erebus.

I searched for Stephanie but I couldn't see her. I then ran toward Erebus and tackled him. I lay with Erebus staring into me with his black non-pupil eyes.

"Get Stephanie!" I yelled at Kyron as Erebus punched me in the gut and shadow-traveled.

"Perseus, don't get involved in other people's business." Erebus threatening dark voice rose.

"What about Kyron?" I yelled at him as he was a few feet away.

Instead of answering he smiled and shadow-traveled. That's when I had an amazing idea. Stand. So I did. As I got to my feet, though, he tackled me. Karma is among us!

I lay on the floor when a familiar guy tackled Erebus. Nico.

"Get your butt over to the next chamber, Percy!" He yelled as he fought the god of shadows.

I got to my feet and I did. I ran for the exit. I'm sick and tired of moving from chamber to chamber, teleportation would be nice right about now.

I then got back into the lit-up tunnels and ran to were I could hear voices. I ran toward there.

"Hey Perce." A voice next to me said.

I looked to my right to see Rachael running by my side.

"Where's-" I began.

"Right here." Katniss said on my left side.

She had her bow in had. How I envy her.

We ran through the entrance of the next chamber. This chamber was weird. It had living trees in it. A forest of technicolored trees. We saw Stephanie on a tree, protected by a huge orange carnivorous plant.

Kyron and Melinoe were busy in combat.

"Rachael go-" I began, ONCE MORE.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. I'll save Stephi while you and Katniss save the world. Got it."

She was already on her way before I could respond.

"Come on!" Katniss yelled as she got my arm and pulled me.

We got close to the battle when Kyron said, "You guys save Stephanie. This is my battle."

"Yeah listen to him, and go get eaten by the wonderful nature plants." Melinoe said.

She was fighting with a sword with two ends, it was crystal like.

Then, Katniss and I went to help Rachael. On the way Katniss said, "You go help her. I'll watch Kyron. Just in case."

I nodded and she went back.

"Artemis, take care of your huntress."

~Katniss POV~

I ran toward Kyron and Melinoe. I hid behind a blue tree. I can hear the swords clashing.

"Just give it up, Kyron! You know you can't do it!" Melinoe teased/seduced.

"I can do anything, 'cause I'm awesome just like that." He spat back.

"You're to full of yourself. But that's what makes me want you more." She said flirtatiously.

Melinoe has feelings toward him? I looked at Kyron. He looked calm, already setting his goal. He looked as if he didn't want anything to do with her.

He then pushed her onto a tree, sword against her throat. Her sword flew off a few minutes ago.

"Tsk, tsk. You will never learn the effect I have on you, Kyron." She said seductively.

That's when the most disturbing thing happened. She started kissing him. Her lips pressed against his. Her hands around his neck, forcing him to stay there. She closed her eyes and he started closing his. But after two seconds, he opened them and pulled away and stabbed her heart. Gold blood came out.

She cried out in pain but her yells developed into laughter.

"You will never learn, will you? Son of Hecate." She then cracked up as she bled like crazy.

Then Erebus came from a shadow and shadow-traveled an insane Melinoe. Kyron stood still for a moment and he picked up her sword. Then another strange thing happened. His eyes became a purple color. Just how Oran's eyes became green. And within a moment's notice, the sword busted into a million pieces. His eyes then went back to their usual color and shape.

He started walking toward Stephanie's position, where I should be right now. But I'm to in shock to what I just saw. Kyron knows Melinoe and Erebus, but from where? And his godly parent is Hecate. Whoever that is. Probably a minor goddess.

I started running toward the other place, through another route though. I doubt he can see me through this forest.

I then arrived to where Stephanie was slowly regaining consciousness. Kyron wasn't there…yet. Nico was lying back clearly tired.

Then I felt my wrist burn all of the sudden. I looked at it. It's now purple. Great! So now I have a black burn mark on my arm, a scar on my cheek, a trackerjacker bite on my forearm, and now, a broken purple wrist. Oh joy.

"Let's get back to camp. I'll teleport you all myself." Kyron said behind me.

I looked down. Still in thought.

"Something's not right..."
