IV, Hazel Levesque
Okay guys! Here's the fourth chapter, and why haven't I gotten any reviews? Come on people! Get off your lazy butt and do some reviewing, good or bad, I don't care. And since exams are finally over, I spend all my freetime writing chapters for y'all!
HAZEL LAUGHED, wind ripping through her hair. She was in the best mood she'd ever been, ever since Gaea was destroyed. She was riding Arion, with Frank riding Houdon behind her. Houdon was Frank's pet horse. When the two reached Camp Half-Blood, she could tell that Piper and Jason needed her help with something. They looked like they were waiting for hours for them to come. When Piper saw the two, she immediatly started giving orders to go and find some celestial bronze and stygian iron. Frank was to go find Lemnos fire. Piper told her that Percy was out searching for Styx water.
"Jason, go with Hazel and help her carry the materials." Piper commanded.
Hazel stopped. "Why do we have to do this in a huge hurry? I mean, we just got here!"
"Well, unless you want some very powerful demigods to die, then hurry!"
"What do you mean, powerful demigods? Aren't all demigods powerful in some way?"
"Yes, but these are way more powerful than any other demigod. One of them has four godly parents, and the other has three. And they're both children of the Big Three! Chloe is a daughter of Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, and Hecate. Otherwise known for you as Jupiter, Minerva, Venus, and Trivia. Nico is a son of Poseidon, Hephaestus and Hermes, otherwise Neptune, Vulcan, and Mercury." Piper replied hurriedly. "Now go find that metal and bring it as soon as possible."
Without arguimg, Hazel set out towards Half-Blood Hill. She knew that some Celestial bronze were beneath the hill, but she had no idea where to find Stygian iron. She could summon it, but it was very hard to. She wanted to do it the easy way, but she knew that whatever she summoned was cursed, so before she summoned she had to pray to her dad, Pluto, to not make it cursed. The problem with that is mostly all metals in the Underworld was cursed, so it was hard to find something that wasn't.
"Jason, help me get the Celestial bronze from beneath the earth." she commanded.
Together they worked. When it was done, they lifted up the huge sheet of Celestial Bronze.
"How are we supposed to carry this and the Stygian iron?" Jason asked.
"Why don't we go take this to Leo's and then go find the Stygian iron?" Hazel suggested.
When they took the sheet of Celestial bronze to Leo, Leo's face brightened up.
"That's more than I suspected I would get. That means I don't have to go find some more Celestial bronze for future repairs. Where do you plan to find Stygian iron? Leo asked.
"I have no idea. I don't sense any nearby, so I guess I'll have to summon some from the ground and hope it's not cursed." Hazel said. She put all her might into praying that Pluto would not send her cursed metal. When the metal appeared, Hazel called Lou Ellen from the Hecate cabin. "Can you check and make sure that this is not cursed?" she asked Lou Ellen.
"I don't sense any magic or curses on it. I suppose it is fine to use." Lou Ellen stated.
"Okay, thanks a lot." Hazel said, waving the girl away. "I suppose we should go help the others find the materials." she said.
Jason went off to help Percy, and Hazel went to go help Frank. When she found him, she asked if he saw any Lemnos Fire around.
"Nope." he replied, shaking his head. "Where are we supposed to find Lemnos Fire?"
"All I know of it is that it is located on the island of Lemnos*. We could ask Nico to shadow-travel us there, except I don't know where he is. Let's ask someone else." Hazel replied, scanning the area for Nico, or someone that could tell them where he was.
When they finally found him, they described the situation and asked if he could shadow-travel them to Lemnos*. He immediately said yes. _
Upon arrival at Lemnos, Hazel was hit by the beauty of the island. It was an island, with majestic mountains in the distance, and complex architecture within the buildings on the shoreline. However, Hazel still didn't know where the Lemnos Fire was. It made the most sense that since it was secretly made by demigods on this island, that they would have to find some demigods. But how would they be able to distinguish regular people from demigods? Wait until a monster comes and the person who helps defeat it is a demigod? Go around asking people if they were demigods? Suddenly, Hazel had an idea. Why don't we look for someone who is a blacksmith! The creaters of Lemnos Fire are sons of Hephaestus. Most sons of Hephaestus worked as blacksmiths, or got a job repairing cars or things like that when they were grown up. Scanning the crowd, Hazel spotted a muscular man banging on a piece of metal with a hammer. Each time he hit the metal, green sparks flew off the metal into a jar filled with green fire.
"Excuse me sir, but are you making Lemnos Fire?" Frank asked. Hazel quickly elbowed him.
"Are you crazy? What if he's just a mortal? Then he'll think we're crazy." Hazel hissed quickly.
Instead, the muscular man stood and stretched out his hands. "Hello. I am Hephaestus." he said
Okay guys! That's the fourth chapter, and please, please review!

Lemnos is the 8th biggest island in Greece, where Lemnos Fire is created.
