Here's the second chapter, Hazel's POV.

Hazel was at the helm where Leo was still steering the ship. "So where are we now?"

"We're off the west coast of Greece, near the Ambracian Gulf. We're going to have to follow the ocean until we get to Patra Agio. Then we'll go through a small channel or something to get to Athens. It'll take about half a week, with no delays or unexpected monster attacks," Leo said. "Which never happens, so maybe a week?"

"We've only got two weeks until the Feast of Spes. So we have a week in Athens to stop the giants?" Hazel said thoughtfully. "Knowing our luck, it'll probably take that long for us to stop them."

Just then, Frank came up the stairs. "Hey. So how close are we to Athens?"

"It'll take a week to get there," Hazel told him.

"A week, including all the monster attacks and delays," Leo corrected her.

"Anyways, Jason's awake now," Frank said.

"Why? What happened to Jason?" Leo asked, clueless. Hazel filled him in.

"Did they get the poison out?" Hazel asked Frank.

"I think so. The wound isn't black anymore, but the harpy's claws cut pretty deep. He's not going to be able to fight until it's healed."

"Ouch." Leo winced. "Well, I've got some work to do, steering the ship and all."

Hazel took the hint. "All right, we'll go. Who's on watch?"

"Ask Annabeth. I think she has the schedule." Leo kept his eyes on the horizon.

Hazel and Frank went to go find Annabeth and Percy. They stopped by the infirmary to check on Jason.

"How's Jason?" Hazel asked Piper who was still taking care of him.

"Fine. Just sleeping for now," Piper said, from his position next to her bed.

"Do you know where Annabeth is?" Frank asked.

"I think she's with Percy, but I have no idea where they are," Piper replied. Hazel and Frank left. They checked Percy and Annabeth's bedroom, but they weren't there.

"Do you think they could be in the pegasi stables again?" Hazel asked Frank, remembering the time Percy and Annabeth had spent the night there.

"Worth a try," Frank shrugged. When they arrived at the stables, they saw that Hazel was right. Percy and Annabeth were sitting above the clear bay doors, gazing at the ocean passing below them, talking quietly.

"Um…hi," Frank said awkwardly. Percy and Annabeth stopped talking and looked up.

"Oh, hi Hazel. Hi Frank. What are you doing here?" Percy asked.

"Leo told us you had a schedule of guard duty shifts," Hazel said.

"Oh yeah. Not that anybody uses it." Annabeth pulled out a piece of paper. "It's supposed to be Piper's shift, but since he's with Jason, I suppose Seaweed Brain and I can take over. Is Jason feeling better?"

"He's doing fine. Just resting a bit," Frank said.

"Okay. Come on, Percy." Annabeth pulled Percy up. "See you guys later." After they left, Frank and Hazel were left alone together. Hazel took the time to study Frank. He had grown so much since Epirus. He wasn't the sweet, slightly awkward looking boy Hazel had known before. Now he was muscular, tall, and strong, just like how a son of Mars should look.

"So…what do you want to do?" Frank asked.

"Hmm? Oh. I haven't eaten lunch yet. I'm going to grab a quick snack from the kitchen." Hazel replied. They went to the mess hall and took some apples, cheese, and bread. Then they sat at the counter and looked out a porthole in the wall of the ship while they ate. Hazel could see that this part of the Mediterranean was really polluted. The water was smoky and hard to see through. Pieces of trash floated around randomly, and she couldn't see any fish or other sea animals at all. She figured Percy probably didn't like that.

Frank cleared his throat. "So what are we going to do once we get to Athens? We never really did form a plan."

"I suppose we'll just have to see the situation and improvise as we go along," Hazel said.

"Do you think you'll see Arion again?" Frank asked.

"I don't know. Why do you ask? That was kind of a random question."

"Just wondering." Frank shrugged. Leo came in, grabbed and an apple and came over to their corner.

"We'll be stopping in a city near here, Preveza. I need some more supplies to fix up the ship," Leo informed them.

"Okay. When?" Hazel asked.

"We'll spend the night there and get the supplies in the morning." Leo said, already leaving. "I need to go tell Percy and Annabeth."

"Well, I'm going to go take a nap." Hazel yawned. "See you later." She got up and kissed Frank on the cheek. She smiled at the expression on his face.

As she was leaving the room, she bumped into Piper. "Hey, Piper. Why aren't you with Jason?"

"Leo didn't tell you?" Piper raised an eyebrow. "Jason's wound is all healed now. He's already out of the infirmary. Hopefully he'll be able to fight tomorrow, just in case we meet some monsters."

"That's great news," Hazel smiled.

In her room, she flopped onto her bed. She thought about their quest and the prophecy. Seven half-bloods shall answer the call. Jason, Leo, Piper, Percy, Annabeth, Frank, and herself. To storm or fire, the world shall fall. Storm or fire. Jason, Percy, or Leo. Though she supposed it didn't have to be a half-blood. An oath to keep with a final breath. Whose final breath? Hopefully not one of the Seven. And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. Yep, been there, done that. They had already closed the doors. Eventually, Hazel fell into a fitful sleep. Unfortunately, only dreams awaited her.

Hazel was standing in a dark room. She heard two voices talking. One deep, and the other female.

"I have created a special spell fitting your needs," said the deep voice.

"Good. Wait until the right time to use it. You understand what to do with it?" said the female voice.

"Yes. I am supposed to lure one of the Seven and use it on them."

"That is correct." The female voice hissed with pleasure. "Choose someone valuable. Like one of the sons of the Big Three, for instance."

"I understand," said the deep voice. Hazel peered into the gloom, trying to see who was speaking. This was not good. The spell probably didn't do anything benefiting the demigods' health.

"Wait. I sense a demigod presence in this room." The deep voice snarled. "There she is." A bolt of energy appeared out of nowhere, and the dream disappeared in a flash of smoke and light.

Sorry this chapter was so short and didn't have any action. Don't worry, the next will have some fighting in it! Please review!
