4. LUNA
"Diana!" Luna yelled from the other side of the cavern. The only Thing standing between them and Luna was a great big serpent. As they got closer the serpent moved, he turned his head and sniffed the air. The serpent hissed Matt was sure the monster smelled them approaching.
Demigods gave off a scent tht was unique. It smelled similar to mint and cinnamon which was hard to miss. That was why demigods were always chased and hunted down by monsters. Then ounce they turn a certain age they must get to camp. The camp holds energy tht only allows demigods in and out of camp.
Matt wished now that demigods did not have tht scent. That would only help them be snake food right now. Then the snake turned to face them and he hissed and attacked. He lunged at both Vince and Lacy who dodged the attack. Vince got his bow and arrow and shot the snake in the eye. It made the snake batt and kick it's feet. Then suddenly the cave began to shake, lucky there were no stones falling from above.
"Get Luna Vince, we'll deal with ugly!" Vince didn't hesitate, he ran towards the other side of the cave and with Matt's sword he managed to break the cage that held Luna. Then they helped the rest of them with the serpent. The serpent came at them with its razor sharp teeth.
"Doesn't this thing breathe fire or something?" Gerard asked. The others looked at him. Then he signaled for them to get back. "Well if you don't breathe fire then it must burn you up." He ounce again summoned fire and threw a fireball at the snake causing it to back away quickly. The ground began to shake again this time the cave was starting to break down. They all ran out of the cave and left the serpent trapped behind a wall of rock. They found their way out much faster than it was to get in. Ounce they got outside they saw the tattered and wrecked parts of the plane. On the top of the plane there were stones. They blew onto of the plane when the snake struggled to get out from the stone chamber. Knowing that there was only one other way off the island everybody came together. They wanted to leave and find Artemis, but to do that they were going to need a boat. So they all started looking around the island being careful not to wander too far from the group. Then Luna had a better idea she could easily use the power she had over the water to get them across. She shared her idea with the group and so they all went and stood by the sea. The wind was mildly blowing and then they could see the boat coming together. Air mixed with water to form slush then slush turned to ice. The boat was almost complete it was of decent size and could carry all of them. The best part is that Luna mentioned they would not have to row it, she would control the currents and take them where they needed to go.
"So, where do we go next Matt?" Then he pointed toward the east. Luna nodded and they got into the boat and set out toward the east. Matt knew the way to the house of the shadows. He was going there to find the only map that existed of the hidden Roman demigod camp. From what Artemis had told Vince in the letter it must be an important piece to find out where she was.
The only catch there was, Matt had found out a long time ago and he did not want to tell the others. The catch was that they had to get in and out of the Roman camp without being seen or bad things would happen. The events could lead the Greek camp and the Roman camp into a war.
