I will say this again-I do not own PJO or HoO-Rick Riordan does!
Frank's POV
We were just called back from Camp Jupiter to go on a new quest. I was sitting in the dining pavilion at Camp Half-Blood when Annabeth announced that she was pregnant.
Percy said I was going to be uncle Frank!
My siblings at the Ares table were cheering. Some were cheering for finally having a new dangerous quest that some of us would die from and others who were long time friends with Percy and Annabeth, like Clarisse, were cheering for both the baby and the quest that could bring the death of us.
We will be leaving after the campfire and Annabeth will be researching in her old library in the Athena cabin for clues on the quest before the campfire.
The leader of this quest is obviously Annabeth. No one can question that without getting punched or having a long-winded logical explanation rammed down their throat .
I finished dinner and so did everyone else so we went back to our cabins.
Everyone here is already used to my friendliness in the Ares cabin so no-one bothered to make fun of me being in the cabin.
Most of the teasing died down after the giant war.
I packed up some clothes and stuffed it in a bag. Leo said he would carry everything but I still don't fully trust him.
I shouldered my bags and went out to the campfire with my other siblings.
We sang songs and when everyone wished us farewell, they went to bed.
"Stay alive, Prissy. You too Princess. I wanna see that baby the minute it's born." said Clarisse as she left.
Lacy and Mitchell hugged Piper and so did her other siblings. Jason said bye to Thalia and Percy and Annabeth was being ambushed by all of the older campers and the newer ones that looked up to them. Hazel and I just said goodbye to Nico and he said he can still contact us if we died.
The seven of us started our journey by taking the strawberry truck to the city.
Piper's POV
There was so much traffic, I was used to it, but the others, not so much. Percy was okay but impatient on finding his little brother. Annabeth wasn't used to the city yet because of camp. Jason usually stayed in Camp Jupiter before he met us unless an emergency quest. Leo was born and raised in the country. Frank isn't used to the city either. And Hazel didn't have traffic like this in the 30's-40's so she was freaking out.
"What if we don't get out?! What if we're trapped here forever?! What if this car runs out of what's-it-called and we're stuck here, unable to move out of this red light?!" Hazel yelled.
"Hazel," I said in my charmspeak voice, "It's going to be okay. If this car gets stuck then we can just walk or hail a cab."
"Good idea." Hazel said, still trying to catch her breath.
Ten minutes later the traffic cleared.
"Okay, we need to go east. Maybe we have to talk to the east wind god, the anemoi Eurus." Annabeth said.
"We should start in the eastern states." Jason said.
"The west wind god is located in Sacremento and the coordinates are about 38°N and about 121°W." Annabeth said.
"How will that help us?" Percy asked.
"Eurus likes to be on the opposite of the west but since he wasn't included in the Greek seasons, he wanted to be on his own and travel to China. His coordinates are the opposite of the west winds but wanted to live somewhere famous so he moved to Hong Kong instead of the absolute opposite. Luckily for us, Hong Kong has some American speakers there. If not, Frank has been learning simple and classified Chinese." Annabeth explained.
"You just blew my mind." Frank said.
"I took a few hours in studying the prophecy." Annabeth told him.
"How are we going to get to China?" I asked.
"Hercules won't let us cross the Mediterranean again. But since he was injured during the war, the other gods have taken over and they'll let us cross. I already Iris messaged Lord Zeus and he'll let us fly. We were heading towards the airport anyway." Jason said
"Zeus' domain?!" Percy exclaimed.
"He will allow you, Seaweed Brain." Annenberg said. "We're already secured by Jason." I added.
"Fine but don't think that I like being in Zeus's domain." Percy said pouting.
Time Skip
We just entered the airport, taking our clothes out of Leo's belt so we won't look suspicious. He got out small purses and small suitcases just incase. Who keeps a suitcase in a workshop? That is one weird toolbelt.
"What about our weapons. And my toolbelt?" Leo asked.
"Keep your voice down! We'll just cause a distraction." I told him.
We stuffed our weapons I his toolbelt and Percy's pen will never leave him . We were separated into groups for security checks so Percy had to throw his pen across the room and pretend he accidentally slipped and his pen came out of his hands.
We got through security quickly but Leo was getting scanned for his toolbelt. The monitor was going off like crazy.
"Take your belt off!" Yelled a guard. Leo took it off and gave it to him.
"No tools. You are supposed to put the belt through the scanner."
"Well I don't think I shou-" Leo started but got cut off.
"Is this Beckendorf's?" The man asked.
Percy stepped in and asked, "How do you know?"
"Beckendorf was my stepbrother. He died on a quest. I'm not a son of Hephaestus but I knew about the gods. What are you doing here with his old belt?" the guard asked.
I heard about Beckendorf and how Leo found his belt. I told him about our quest and told him Beckendorf is just fine. Nico has been checking on everyone in Elysium.
"You may go. Good luck." The man said.
We went to our gate and waited a few minutes until we had to board.
I went through the airplane tunnel and got my seat number from the lady at the gates.
Seat A16.
Percy and Annabeth Sat on both sides next to me.
Hazel was in the middle of a lady that looked 20 and Leo was to her left.
Frank and Jason sat all the way in the back of the plane with a crying baby and a mother next to them.
The woman said the flight will take 11 hours so we had to watch the instructional video for an emergency.
We could watch movies on flight and could play video games with the screen attached to the seat in front of us. Percy was still hyperventilating.
This is going to be a long flight.
Hey guys Agi here I've just looked over my story and noted a couple of errors so I've replaced them! See ya!
PS-I'm writing the chapter so don't worry!
