I had to catch my breath; creating monsters really took a lot out of a god. Or maybe that was jus me… Phoenix saw me hunched over and offered me a water bottle, he gave a small smile. But his eyes weren't in it. He wanted to make amends, but I couldn't deal with it like this. I grew my wings and pushed away the water bottle. I said we should start out again, we were only on the boarder of Mexico, we would have to cross the boarder soon enough to get in, if we wanted to reach California by noon. The first signs of dawn were starting to sprout. I was amazed by the great light, but then there was loud grumble. Tyson stood embracing Carlina, she cried into his shoulder. I guess having a big brother was a bit overwhelming, but she stopped and pulled away, Tyson gripped her hand. But then he heard it too.

"Monster coming back." He said, he held Carlina protectively, Phoenix held a ball of fire. I flew and saw what Tyson was talking about; the pieces of ice were joining together again. I saw this time though; Carlina's acid capsule liquid had broken into it. So it wasn't its normal killing self, it was its insane killing self…even worse. It zoomed in on Carlina, Pearl grabbed the leg and told Phoenix to blast. He did as she asked and the monster screamed out, what killed this thing?

"I do!" A voice echoed in my thoughts, we all turned and saw a girl. She wore a black dress; her dark hair was pulled to a tight bun. A boy stood next to her, dark hair, olive toned skin, and dark eyes were his features. I saw Annabeth, Grover, and Rodney break into a smile.

"Nico!" They all aid at the same time. The boy smiled, Nico…how odd, I had once seen a boy at camp that looked exactly like him… Annabeth ran and hugged him. He hugged her back, he gestured to the girl standing next to him.

"Nyx, Hades had been hiding her in the Underworld for some time. I found her; turns out he made her immortal. Any luck finding Percy, we've been trying to find him, no luck."

"We have a lead, Carlina and Pearl, Nico you met her awhile ago." Annabeth explained, Nico nodded and acknowledged her. "Carlina knows the way to Camp Grey Stone, is it? Anyway that's where their keeping Percy, we think."

"We know," Carlina asserted, she cocked her head, and eyed Nico. He gave it right back to her, something passed between them. She looked away, "Camp's that way." She pointed.

"Well count us in, besides Nyx is dieing to use her blade, eh Nyx?"

"Yeah, definitely!" She pulled out a blade that looked obsidian but diamond carved at the edges. Celestial bronze edged around the border, I even had to admit it was a beautiful blade.

"Well Percy's out their let's get going, oh and Nyx, could maybe you tone down on the whole kill us with that monster thing?"

"Oh yeah, the monster, they follow me around. It's like I'm the child of Death, or something." She laughed and noticed all eyes were on her. "Shut up!" She said, while she smiled. We laughed then jumped back in our cars and started to move again. Mexico was coming pretty quickly, but so was the morning light. I began to worry, what if we didn't get there in time. I grew my wings and shot into the air, Nico summoned a hellhound and jumped on him along with Nyx. We quickly crossed the boarder into Mexico. Then what I feared the worst happened. We needed passports, crap! I quickly began to estimate the time in would take to get to California on foot, and then there was also the fact that San Francisco was all the way near Washington. Then an idea came to mind, Nico was son of Hades, he could get us there on hellhounds, we could shadow travel. I swooped down to the speeding hellhound.

"Hey Nico, we haven't officially met, I'm Penelope Goddess of the Wild, replacing Pan. Um, listen I have to ask you to summon some hellhounds, I'll give you something in return it's just that well. In Mexico we have to walk, and I don't think we'll get there very quickly by the pace were making. Wait what am I saying, I'm a freaking god! Sorry, excuse me." He gave me a cocked headed smile, and then concentrated on controlling the slobbering hellhound. I flew to Pearl, she and Jason were making very slow progress over the rough terrain. "Hey ladies, I'm going to send us to California. Yes, I just realized my own powers. Ok? Get everyone in one general place." Pearl gave me a shocked realization gaze, and then groaned.

"You could have done that this whole time! Honestly Penelope, fine meet us up there." I nodded. Then flew fast across everyone, they all looked at me, I could feel their gazes. Phoenix was in bird form ahead of everyone else, Annabeth sat on his back, she laughed and then looked at me, it became deathly silent. I waved awkwardly then flew down,

"Were going to stop here. I'm ending this, were going now to Camp Grey Stone." Annabeth smiled.

"You can do that?"

"Yeah, I just remembered. I guess I'm not that well thought out as some would say."

"You say that again." Phoenix screeched, we laughed. Then I dove to the ground, everyone standing in a small crowd. I felt my fingers tingling, as I flew down to the red sand, everyone looked at me expectantly, I gestured for them to touch me, which was quite awkward having about ten people holding onto you. Ug, it felt weird. I closed my eyes and saw San Francisco's Saint Delaware Park. A tree, was beckoning to me. Something was written on its trunk, I tied my vine around it and we were off, in less then a second we fell down in St. Delaware Park of San Francisco, Annabeth got so excited. "I was here just last year! Ohmigods, I miss it so much!" She started to get all melodramatic on me. So I walked to the tree I had seen, soft sunlight fell through the big green leaves and shimmered on Carlina's black hair, Nico obviously liked her for something more then her looks. Her attitude.

I touched the tree's trunk and the soft wood spoke to me. The words were soft and quiet as if it wanted me and only me to hear them. But the tree's voice itself was soft.

"The Son of Neptune is aware

But his memories are no where.

He speaks but no one listens

He threatened by the listless.

They want an exchange,

The boy of Jupiter

To the girl of Neptune.

Be careful my dear lady.

They watch."

I felt a chill run through my spine, that was scary the last words echoing in my mind, they watch…What was that, they wanted a exchange we would get Jason if we gave Pearl maybe, or maybe it was Carlina they wanted…I tried to figure it out, but my thoughts were interrupted, I heard a blood curdling cry. I twisted around, and saw Jason lay on the ground clutching his head in pain. I ran to him, Carlina materialized a capsule of something and then pulled his head up from his painful grip, and then poured it down his throat. He looked at her then collapsed. We all looked at her expectantly; she sprayed water out of her hand and revived him. He awoke with a jerk and glared at Carlina. She gave a sly smile. What just happened?

"What just happened?" Phoenix asked his mouth open and his words repeating my own. Carlina just glanced at me,

"Since water is in almost every liquid, Carlina can create it and use it." Pearl explained. I nodded then got up,

"Well Carlina, are we close?"

"You tell me?" She gestured toward a large tower on the other side of the small city. "That's it baby; get your battle armor on. I would have hoped you would bring an Ares child, they usually know the difference between Roman and Greek things. But you know you take what you get. Hmm, it's almost noon now, you think you can do that cool vine thing again, goddess thingy." I laughed at her nickname for me and shook my head.

"I can only hook onto trees that are taught to let me do it, I can't do it to the Roman trees." They gave me weird looks, I just shrugged, "and Pan wasn't included in Roman Culture."

"Yes he was, shut up. His Roman name was, Faunus. Lord, thought you would know that. Awe shit, here we go again. Duck!" Carlina screamed the last part I saw that she gestured to a cannon ball. Only it wasn't it was a ball made of fire that grew into a monster. A Cyclops emerged from it; Tyson was shoved out to fight it. Leo lit fire and helped out Phoenix as they went after it, another cannonball landed, this time two giant snakes crawled out of the next, more monsters surrounded us, we fought and killed, but they kept coming.

"What the hell is happening?" Nico yelled, he touched the next monster and it dissolved.

"I dunno, maybe the Romans saw us, we have to get out of here!" Pearl shouted over the screams of the monsters.

"Good idea!" I yelled back to her, I folded my hands, and then screamed and they dropped dead. Ah, I loved that power. I saw Phoenix eyeing me, but I ignored him, I hated the look he was giving me. Worry. I made the dirt lift up and the monsters flew off of it. They crashed into a local building, but then after the last Cyclops was crashed and the last snake slimed. It stopped, and the birds started to chirp again.

"Ok, did anyone else find that weird?" I asked, Carlina healed a cut that was on her arm with a swift movement of her hand. Then she nodded.

"The Romans, they know were here." She got up and dusted herself off, then got up and started to walk. Annabeth followed and soon everyone else did too. We saw the tower of the camp had disappeared and the air grew colder and soon turned to freezing. Sure enough we were standing in an ice land. It seemed like there was water underneath but the ice was so thick it was odd. There was no piece of green in sight, but the tower was gone it simply had disappeared. I shivered, Phoenix handed out coats and slipped one on himself, then handed me one. His eyes gave a small solemn twinkle. Then Carlina's eyes widened, she grabbed me and pulled me down with her since I was the closest. The rest of us followed her example. She looked a little freaked out, she handed something out. Wax tubes. She gestured for us to put them in our ears, what was she doing? She did it without speaking. But I just pretended to keep mine in; I saw what she was talking about. Dressed in a beautiful white silk gown, golden dots under her whipping crazed beautiful and mythical bright violet eyes. Heavy mascara surrounded them, she had silver and golden hair combined. Her eyes were vigilant. I turned to Carlina, she wrote something in the snow. Siren/Mortal. A half blood, I realized. She nodded, and then pointed to her, the Siren/Mortal, who began to let out a beautiful high pitched note; I fought the will to run to her. Annabeth sniffled; I saw tears were streaming from her eyes. Phoenix took her hand, she smiled through her tears. The siren sang so beautifully then something happened. Leo ran, to her! Pearl screamed. I chased after them, but they were so close to her. She looked at me her purple eyes so deep and sly. She was no naïve mortal. She grasped the boy, then threw him to the ground and then stood over him. A growl escaped from her lips.

"Godling." Then looked at me, "Faunus." She let Leo go, and stopped singing. "I'm no Siren either. Come on all of you, all I want is Cartivalica. I'll lead you to the camp, just let me see her." Carlina rose and showed herself. The Siren gave a knowing look to us all and grabbed Leo, but Pearl grabbed his hand and then hugged him. Leo looked victorious, and then gave a look to Jason; he just rolled his eyes and smiled, like he had no feelings for Pearl what so ever. Pearl took Leo's hand and they walked together behind the Siren. I walked next to the half blood. She looked at me. "My name is Sira, my father is a mortal, and he lived my mother's harsh beautiful music. That is how we sirens breed; we mate with the humans who live our music. Most the genetics of a siren, just becomes a siren, but me I received good judgment and feelings. Unlike my mother and my sisters, and my aunts, and my grandmother. I resigned from that place of mind even though it will always be a part of me; I chose not to dwell on it no longer. But my only question is, why do you come? Except for Jason, you are all Greek demigods and gods. Except you have become a Roman god, and so has Phoenix."

"Jason's come to defeat the monster, Typhian. I myself have come with my friends to get my friend back. You may already know, he is the son of Neptune." Her eyes gave seriousness.

"The boy, we call him Incensos Boy." My heart pounded in worry, Incensos was Latin for crazy.

"Why do you call him that?" She just gazed at me in saddness. Then carried on, her long legs moved smoothly over the ice wasteland. But then the air began to become warmer once more, but I hardly noticed. A feeling is creeping down my spine, Percy has no idea what he is, who he is, what happened, how he came. I started to worry, and broke out to a brisk trot. My footsteps unfroze the ice, I saw that Leo and Phoenix had become very careful trying to step over the snow. Sira saw this she touched the ground, the ice refroze to a thicker level, then carried on. My heart began to hope and dread at the same time, maybe he knows who we are. Maybe he knows who I am. As my mother always said hope for the best, expect for the worst. We reached a tunnel. Sira entered a password into the bar code. Then the gates opened and we follwed.

What happened after that I amazed. I stood in the middle of a green feild, Roman gods stood in the middle of goregous marble temples. Vines grew up the coloumms and I was completely awe struck by the beauty and serentity. A group of girls passed all of which by were daughters of Venus, I guessed, laughing they were dressed in flowing dresses. They were all goregous, a blond haired one gave me a curious smile. Then laughed along with her friends. Further down the feild a platform surrounded by ruins of coloumns were set up in a way of a arena. Half bloods faught one another in a much more advanced way then Greek demigods. Smack dab in the middle of the huge field that overlooked the glimmering blue ocean, was a glass building that was made of all glass. Sira led us closer to it, but her breath came out short and labored.

"Are you ok Sira?" I asked.

"Being away from water is very difficult, I'm afraid." She strided on with more difficultly. She reached the glass mansion and opened the door. I followed behind her, I was amazed by the architecture. Every turn seemed to lead to a different room, a ice sculture of a god would be placed here and there. The view was amazing the cabins were unlike anthing I had ever seen. Much like Camp Half-Blood they were made with different materials deppending on what the half blood's parent was. The cabins were in a way of order deppending on importance. One was Jupiter. Made of golden marble, Two was Pluto but there I guess was no children who occupied it. Then three was Neptune, made out of green material. Four, was a beautiful gold cabin Juno. Five was-

"Yo Faunus get you butt over here we found my brother." Carlina said, her voice tried to be snappy but it was choked. I followed her down the long glass hall, a centaur stood speaking to a irritated looking Jason. That must have been Choron, Chiron's twin brother, the one Jordyn spoke of. I heard a sob break out, and I saw Annabeth crying her head covered by her hands. Her body shook, I walked to the room where I heard her crying. Then I saw him, he was just standing there like he had never left... My heart started to beat happily he was found after so long that was why Annabeth was crying. But boy was I wrong, Percy saw me his once bright green eyes were now crazed and insane he ran at me pulling his sword then held it to my neck.

"Who the hell are you!" He yelled into my face, my own tears began to leak and saddness started to attack.
