The morning sun shone into the apartment June and Seth inhabited. The sun's rays woke June up first, slowly opening up her eyes to greet the new day. Yawning, she sat up, looking down an her fiance, Seth. She kissed his nose as she got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom to take a shower. Thankfully all she had to do was walk in since she was naked as the day she was born. Stepping in, the hot water cascading down her tan skin, she began to bathe herself, lathering soap onto a washcloth and washing her body. She didn't notice the man coming into the bathroom, but she did notice when the water on her end stopped, but kept going in another part. She turned around to see Seth Jackson in the shower with her.

Seth was a sight to behold. Good, defined muscles, a six-pack she loved to run her hands down, messy black hair down to his shoulders, cleanly-shaven, and sea-green eyes flecked with gray, making her seem like she was in a gaze when she stared too deeply in them.

"Thought you might need some help getting perfectly clean," he said. She blushed and came up to him, noticing their height difference since she was a full five inches shorter than him.

"Thanks hon," she said, lathering up the washcloth and giving it to him. He proceeded to wash down her, loving everything about the smooth surface he was currently washing.

"So what are you doing today?" he asked politely.

"Just one class today and then back home. You?" she asked as his lathering got down to her back.

"Nothing today, probably run over to the store," said Seth.

"Oh, we're out of something?" said June.

"Yes, we're almost out of food. We can't keep going to our family's houses and expect them to feed us all the time," said Seth, chuckling a little at the end, which June returned.

"True, but you have to admit they're very good at it," she said as she took the washcloth and began to wash him in return. "Anything else?"

"That's about it," said Seth as the cloth began to run along his abs.

"Sounds like a plan," she said as the cloth descended lower, causing him to give a small moan as it rubbed his member.

"How much time till you have to go?"

"We have ten minutes," said June, coming forward till their skin met between them, her breasts pressed to his chest, giving his body pleasurable signals.

"Any predetermined plans?" he said, his hands gliding down her back.

"Use your imagination," she said before their lips met, her arms wrapping around him as is wrapped around her body, meshing their bodies together.

Seth's hands rubbed around her lower back before they traveled down to her butt, squeezing both her cheeks. June let out a very feminine moan and her hand went between them to Seth's member, slowly stroking it as it grew in her hands. Seth moaned and pressed her to the shower doors, the glass rattling slightly. Her right leg slowly wrapped around his hip as their kiss deepened, her tongue sliding out between his lips and massaging his tongue. His left hand held up her leg by her thigh while his other hand squeezed her left butt cheek. She ended the kiss to look him in the eyes, lust portrayed in her brown eyes as she met the gaze of his sea-green/grey eyes. His member was pressed to her core, pressing at her lips as she gave the go-ahead.

"Give it to me," she said sensually. He smiled and he swiftly entered her, a loud gasp escaping her lips, followed by a chorus of moans that signaled his thrusting pattern into her. Seth hoisted her leg up a little higher to open her up more and get in deeper. Her gasps and moans filled the bathroom as the water hit their bodies continuously.

"Oh Seth, faster!" moaned June. Seth in turn began to thrust furiously into her, making her cry out and yell. Her hands gripped his neck and upper back hard as her mind was lost in a world of pleasure. Her walls clenched down on his member tightly, making Seth begin to see stars. The glass rattled furiously as the couple kept up there sexual moment, with June's cries coming out in loud moans, yells, and sometimes shrieks. Her leg was now draped onto Seth's shoulder as he invaded her even deeper, hitting her sweet spot just right.

"Oh gods Seth...(yell)...I'm about to CUM!" she yelled as her walls started to close shut on his member. His answer was the swelling of his member as it prepared to shoot his seed inside her. He grunted as he was about to burst and kissed her deeply, which she returned just as passionately. Their climax was on the doorstep and time seemed to stand still before everything seemed to explode around them.

June came like a lightning bolt, her ending the kiss to yell loudly as her cum splashed onto Seth's member. This was followed by Seth plunging his member as far as it could go inside of her and erupting his seed into her womb. June felt immense relief and unimaginable pleasure from his hot release as it filled her to the brim. Seth helped to put her leg down as she steadied herself. She looked up at him and kissed him deeply, relishing the feel of their lips together. Ending the kiss they turned the shower off and stepped out, wrapping towels around them to dry off.

"You are always so amazing," said June as she dried her hair, smiling.

"It's what I do to show how much I love you," said Seth, also smiling.

"Well thank you lover boy, but I have to go to my class now," she said once she dried off, walking into their bedroom swaying her hips. Seth felt himself harden again, but knew he wouldn't be able to relieve himself.

"Such a temptress," he thought, chuckling a little to himself.

June was in class, hearing her professor ramble on about the evolution of single-cell organisms. She wore a pair of black skin-tight jeans and a blue blouse. Although June was studying to be a nurse and wanted to help and treat people, the classes she took wanted to make her kill herself before she could even think of going on into the practice. As she was taking notes in the class of 200 people, she saw to her left another student around her age. She was familiar with all the students in the class, fully knowing only 20 of them, but she couldn't remember or recollect this one. He was African-American, with mocha-brown skin and short curly hair. He had on a black t-shirt with a thin golden chain around his neck. He was also wearing a pair of jeans and black Nike basketball shoes. What struck her about the chain was that on the end was a small, cross-like medallion, but with a hoop at the top. She believed it to be an African symbol, only knowing so much about it since she was raised in a 'Greek' household.

The class was dismissed and everyone filed out, heading to wherever they needed to go. June put her textbook and notebook into her bag and left the classroom. As she left she noticed the student still in his seat, scribbling something on his notebook. Paying no mind to what he was writing, June made her way to the outside area of the NYU campus.

She headed out towards the parking deck where her car was parked. As she walked, she couldn't help but think that shadows were all around her, dancing around in her peripheral vision. If she tried to focus on it, it vanished just as suddenly. Though she thought it was nothing, her danger warnings from her demigod instincts rang off in her head.

She came to the third level of the parking deck, seeing her green Civic 2030. She was about to unlock the car when she suddenly felt a dark presence around her. Instinctively, she turned her bracelets on her arms and a shield and spear came out.

"Okay, come out now!" she yelled as she took a defensive stance and looked around trying to find her attacker. No one was there to be found. June knew she wasn't crazy; she knew she was being followed, but by what? She continued to look around, circling the lot.

She did this for five minutes, waiting for whatever it was to pounce at her. Lowering her guard. It was a big mistake...

She heard a bark like that of a massive dog and then an unknown force collided into her, sending her to the ground. Once she touched the ground, she felt energy surge through her and she jumped back up to her feet, shield up and spear ready.

She saw them now. There were four of them, massive dog-like apparitions made of, if it could be made from, darkness and shadows. They growled at her, their red eyes glowing menacingly at her and their teeth, which glowed with some kind of red energy, flashed directly at her.

The first dog charged at her. She jumped aside as it sailed past her and her spear planted itself into the next dog that charged directly at her after the first dog. Her spear sliced harmlessly through it as if it was just a shadow. She raised her shield as it claws sliced towards her, the nail leaving average-sized claw marks on her shield. She was backed up into a wall as they got close to her, barking and trying to slash her with their claws. Focusing, lightning came into her hands and arcs of the hurtled towards the dogs. The dogs were hit and dissipated into nothing.

"Yes," she said, cheering to herself. Suddenly, another weight collided into her and sent her down. She turned around to see another dog on her, its fangs bared, ready to take the plunge into her throat.

A blast of light knocked the dog away, making it disappear into dark smoke before everything was clear. Looking for her savior, she saw him appear. To her shock and surprise she saw that it was the same guy who she was staring at in class. His medallion necklace was glowing bright-yellow as he walked towards, now larger than it was before.

"Are you alright?" he asked, stretching out his hand to help her up. His voice was between that of an alto and a tenor, making it seem somewhat mystical with a slight accent. His eyes were the color of amber. She took his hand as she got up.

"I'm fine, thank you," she said. She didn't know whether to thank him or consider him a threat, but for now she kept a small distance from him. The man seemed to notice this and stepped towards her to reassure her.

"Relax, I mean you no harm. I only came because my ankh detected a large amount of Chaos energy," said the man.

"A what?"

"My necklace," he said, pointing towards the charm.

"Oh," said June.

"Wow, you're the first Greek demigod I've ever met," said the man as he used his ankh to "scan her."

"Umm, thanks I guess. I have no idea what you are though," said June.

"Oh, I'm a magician," said the man.

"Right," said June, not believing that last part by a long shot.

The man chuckled. "No, I'm a Egyptian magician. We cast spells to ward off our enemies."

"Wait, you said Egyptian. Like, as in Ancient Egyptian mythology?" said June.

"Not really a myth, but yes," he said. Suddenly, his ankh began to flash steadily.

"Anyway, we don't have time to elaborate just yet. We have to get out of here before more come," he said.

"I can get us to my house faster," said June.

"No, they'll track you. We need motor transportation."

"We'll take my car. If what you're saying is true, you need to talk to my family," said June as they began to run.

"Okay. By the way, what's your name?"

"June Stone. You?"

"David Kane."

Seth was driving over to the Stone's house. He hadn't heard back from June yet and he was getting worried. He had called five times but her phone was dead because it went straight to voicemail. He knew immediately that if there was ever a problem like this she would eventually get to her parent's house, but it still didn't make him feel any better.

Pulling into the driveway he parked his ocean-blue 2035 Chevy Camaro and hurriedly got out, not bothering to lock the door. He was at the front door, rapidly knocking and ringing the doorbell for someone to come and open the door. Thirty seconds went by before he heard someone unlocking the door. The door opened to reveal Danny Jr. in nothing but black shorts and a white wife-beater. He also appeared to be sweating. At first he looked annoyed, but his face softened when he saw it was Seth.

"Hey Danny, did June come by?" said Seth.

"No. It's just been me and Alicia all day," said Danny. Then everything clicked in his mind. The sweat, little clothing, and annoyed glare he received at the door...

"Oh gods was I interrupting anything?" said Seth, barely containing the giggles threatening to break from his mouth. Danny just rolled his eyes and let him in the house.

"I'm surprised you even answered the door," said Seth, still trying to suppress himself.

"I'm telling myself the same thing. Anyway Alicia's getting...decent, so is there something going on before I launch you out of the house?" said Danny.

"June hasn't come home yet," said Seth. Danny's eyes widened. June was like a calendar: you knew what she was going to do everyday and she never strayed from her plans. The only time she ever missed something was because of an emergency, and for a demigod an emergency could range from anywhere between traffic to an attack, and right now both were considering the last option.

"You don't think that she's in trouble do you?" said Seth.

"Knowing June, maybe," said Danny. Alicia came in barefoot with a red robe that barely covered her upper thighs and her hair was brushed, but still frizzy in some areas.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"June's missing and we don't where she could be," said Danny.

"You tried calling her?"

"Yes, and still nothing," said Seth. "This has never happened before." He looked like he was about to go crazy.

"Hold on, we'll just go and look for her, I'm sure it's nothing. In the mean time, call everyone so that they can get here," said Danny.

"Okay. What are you going to do?" said Seth.

"Shower and get changed."

"Why?"

"In case you haven't noticed, me and Alicia can't walk out in public like this," said Danny pointing to their choice of clothing, to which Alicia blushed.

"Okay, and don't do anything in the shower," said Seth.

"I think when my sister is in trouble that I don't think of that, unlike what you and her did when we were on a scouting mission," said Danny as he took Alicia's hand and they made their way to his room.

"I thought you didn't hear us?" said Seth, flabbergasted.

"Unfortunately I did," said Danny as he closed the door. Once he was in the bathroom he and Alicia took off their clothes and got in the shower. The hot water was a relief to the two and Alicia was already beginning to wash up. She turned back once the wash cloth was lathered and noticed that Danny was leaning on the wall, his eyes seemed to look in the distance.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I'm so worried about her," said Danny. Alicia walked up to him till she stood in front of him as the water rained down on both of them.

"She'll be fine. You guys usually are," said Alicia, kissing him on his lips and hugging him, which he returned.

Meanwhile while they were in the shower Gerald arrived back with Maria right beside him. Maria had her weapons with her, two celestial bronze knives that Gerald had gave her as an anniversary gift.

"I tried to search for in the ground but I can't get a read on her. It's like she disappeared," said Gerald.

"Oh gods," said Seth, falling down to the couch with his face in his hands.

"Where's Danny and Alicia?" said Maria.

"They're in the shower," said Seth.

"What are they...never mind, we have to wait for Mom and Dad to get back. Percy and Annabeth are on the way too," said Gerald. They waited for three minutes and Danny and Alicia came into the room, both wearing plain shirts and jeans, Danny with his gladius strapped to him and Alicia with a Greek xiphos. They looked dead serious so no one was going to say anything about them showering together because they all felt the same.

"Wait, where's Danielle?" said Seth.

"She's at her great-grandmother's place for the night," said Danny. They all sat down in the living room and waited, talking of possible routes to take when their parents arrived. Ten minutes passed by and they saw a pair of headlights through the door, which signaled they were back. The door opened quickly to reveal Percy, Annabeth, Katie, and Danny Sr. Percy and Annabeth, though older and Percy having salt-and-pepper hair (some say he copied his stepfather Paul Blofis) along with a some gray hairs on Annabeth, they looked the same. All were armed.

"No word?" Percy asked. They all shook their heads.

"Okay, we'll split off into groups. Me and Annabeth will search Manhattan. Danny, you and Katie will..."

The door burst open suddenly and in came June and David Kane.

"June!" yelled everyone, rushing and hugging her fiercely, not even seeing David at all. They immediately berated her with questions of where she was, to which she tried to answer, but everyone was basically assaulting her. When they were able to calm down a few minutes later, glad that she was safe...

"Wait a minute, who are you?" said Gerald.

"Oh, sorry, my name is David Kane. I was able to help June out and bring her here safely," said David.

"But, you're not a demigod," said Seth.

"True, well sort of. I'm a magician," said David. Everyone except June looked at him like he was psychotic.

"Magician?" said Danny Jr.

"Yes, but not that kind. My kind follow a different set of gods. Egyptian ones to be precise," said David.

"Egyptian?!" nearly everyone said.

"I'll have time to fill you in later, but for now you must come to my parent's house," said David. A card appeared in his hands and he handed it to Percy since he perceived him as the leader.

"When?"

"I would say right now, but the servants of Chaos are around. It's not safe for you to travel, even if it is with your powers. Wait three days, then come around 6 o'clock. And bring your leaders, including your gods. It would also be best to contact your Roman counterparts as well. We would ask you to bring everyone, but we can't hold hundreds of people," said David.

"Wait, what is all of this for?" said Percy.

"The forces of darkness are stirring, from all sides. To prevail, all must unite together. That's all I can say. I must go now. Remember, three days," said David. A bright-yellow light illuminated his figure and then he vanished.

"Wow, so he's that kind of magician. I'm very impressed," said Gerald in awe.

"What did he mean?" said Annabeth.

"I don't know, but we'd better send word to Chiron," said Percy.

"This is troubling news," said Chiron. "Contact with the Egyptians hasn't been made in thousands of years. For them to come directly to us is troubling indeed."

"He said to get our senior leaders, including the Romans, and the gods as well," said Percy. Him, Annabeth, Grover, Juniper, Clarisse, Chris, Nico, Aurora, Danny, Katie, Jamal, and a few others were gathered in the Big House.

"Should we go?" said Annabeth.

"If it is as serious as the boy said, then we must," said Chiron. "I do not like what he said about the forces of darkness gathering. Something is afoot. For now we do what they want us to do."

"Who will go?" said Nico.

"Hmm, you all and your children. That would be a good start. I shall go as well," said Chiron. "I will contact Jason and the others as well, as well as the gods."

"Anything we need to do?" said Percy.

"Don't cause any fights."
