Yeah, I've had a lot of extra time lately so I decided to update. Hope you like it!

Griffon's PoV

I had never ridden a Pegasus before, so this was a new experience.

"Hey Percy?" I yelled over the wind.

"Yeah Griffon?"

"If Zeus is mad at us and he's Lord of the Skies, why are we flying?" Percy's face paled. Thunder rumbled in recognition and lightning started shooting around us.

"Use your powers!" Alpha shouted. I looked around and saw everybody trying to put up force fields. Most of them failed. I sighed. Since I had learned the quickest I put up a large force field around everybody.

"Alpha! Help me sustain this!" I yelled, already weakening. Alpha took a deep breath and the force field strengthened. Erica contributed too. I felt like the sky had been lifted off my shoulders. I didn't say that out loud though because it would probably make Percy nauseous. The lightning struck the force field, gradually cracking it.

"It's not working!" Michaela yelled.

"Oh really? I would never have guessed!" I yelled. Michaela stuck her tongue out. "Mature," I muttered. Another bolt of lightning struck the force field and it shattered. My vision went blurry and I fell off of my Pegasus.

"Griffon!" Percy yelled. Blackjack shot down towards me like a bullet and caught me. "Wouldn't want to lose my half-brother would we?"

"Hey! You have more than one!" Seth yelled. Percy snickered.

"Really? I didn't notice." Seth stuck his tongue out and ate some ambrosia. Percy pulled up beside my Pegasus and ordered everyone else to fly lower. We started flying over New York City and I saw the mortals pointing at us and running. I laughed. What did they see, Mr. Owl? The world may never know. I snickered at that thought. I felt something hit my face.

"Ow! What the heck was that?" I yelled. I looked at my hands and saw a harpy with razor sharp teeth. "Holy crap!" I threw the harpy at Clayton.

"Mrpffk!" Clayton yelled.

"You don't want to know!" Clayton yelled after pulling the harpy off of him and stabbing it with a knife. His face was red with scratches and bites.

"Let's get out of here the easy way," Alpha sighed. He let out a low whistle and my vision went white. Suddenly, we were at our destination. Happy Smiles Incorporated?

"What the Hades? What kind of man-baby named this joint?" Seth complained.

"Well. Eutychia is the Titaness of happiness so it makes sense," Alpha replied.

"You take tai chi to?" Seth asked.

"No," Alpha said. "In Rome she is known as Felicitas."

"Oh. That clears things up," Seth said sarcastically. We entered the building. I looked around at all of the odd decorations.

"Are we on some prank mission for Hephaestus TV or something?" I asked. There were rainbows everywhere and a large group (or is it gaggle?) of rabbits in one corner.

"Ok, everyone split up and look for Tai Chi!" Seth announced. Alpha shook his head and walked towards a large rainbow colored cage. Inside was some odd monster I had never seen before. It looked half bear, half rhino, all color. It was a rainbow creature.

"What's that?" I asked.

"A monster created by Iris in her spare time?" Clayton suggested.

"It's a Photosera," Erica said. "Chaos created two of them when he formed the Earth and placed them on opposite ends of the out planet. They are the North and South poles, and the closer they are, the wilder they get. Legend has it, when the Photosera in the North is longing for the one in the South it creates the Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights."

"How do you know this stuff?" Percy asked.

"Well they once met and had two cubs. Or whatever you call their children. I got to keep one." Erica explained.

"Is it dangerous?" I asked.

"If threatened it is."

"Sweet," Clayton said. "So was it always that colorful, or did it take the Skittles commercial too literally?"

"Wow, how long did it take you to think of that one?" Michaela said. For some reason she hated him more than usual. He stuck out his tongue.

"We should keep moving. Find Eutychia," Percy ordered. I heard an odd harp-like sound.

"I have visitors! Wonderful!"

Percy's PoV

I'm going to go ahead and say it my experience with Eutychia was actually kinda fun. Besides being put in a tutu and being cursed at by a unicorn, my time there was wonderful.

"So what may I offer you today?" asked Eutychia. She was on the balcony above us. I noticed her dress, an odd pink Victorian style ball gown that left sparkles in the air.

"We need to know some stuff about the Fates being captured. What do you know Eutychia?" Alpha grilled her.

"Cheer up! There's no reason to be angry! And call my Aunt Chia please," she replied. She waved her arm and stairs appeared. She came down to our level.

"Ok, what do you know Aunt Chia?" Alpha asked again. She frowned.

"If you keep being grumpy I know nothing," She huffed.

"Well, maybe some tea and crumpets might cheer him up?" I suggested, mainly as a joke.

"Wonderful idea Perseus! Pull up a chair!" Aunt Chia snapped her fingers and a table appeared with a large pot of tea and a platter of crumpets.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

"I can read your good memories Perseus. I see you have a thing for that Athena girl, huh? Give these to her," Aunt Chia handed me a bouquet of odd grey flowers.

"They're Owl Bloom, the sacred flower of Athena," she explained.

"Thank you Aunt Chia!" I said. This might make up for the time I was away.

"All in a day's work honey, but hurry and drink your tea, it's getting cold." It was hard to interrogate someone so nice. She reminded me of my mom. How do you interrogate your mom?

"So, what do you know about the Fates?" I asked.

"The Fates? They are SO stuck up! Just because they control what happens to people they think they're top dog around Olypmus."

"I mean about them being captured," I said a bit impatiently.

"Oh! They were taken hostage by Erebus. He wants to do a better job at defeating you then Gaea did. Sibling rivalry I guess. But I'm not worried, if they try anything on me I'll take all of the pleasure out of their victory," she explained.

"Erebus? And do you know where we could find him, by any chance?" Erica asked.

"Mount Everest. He picked it because he could see the world fall into darkness from there. He also needs the lava for something put I'm not sure what."

"Great!" Seth exclaimed. "We have to hike all the way up Mount Everest because the stupid Sky God won't let us fly!" Thunder rumbled. "I don't care Zeus!"

"Well I guess we should go," Alpha said.

"Here take these," Aunt Chia said, pointing to some unicorns that had appeared. "They can get you into Erebus's field of darkness without detection or minor side-affects like minor dizziness or death. On that happy note, we hopped on the unicorns and rode out.

Done! I really liked this chapter because I'm bringing more Greek mythology into the story. Don't be afraid to tell me what you think, so review! - AssassinOfNeptune
