A/N: Another chapter! Yay!(I like writing like a little kid likes toys 'r us!)

Thorns scratched and poked my skin, as I meandered through the gargantuan field of delicious looking red fruits. It seems the strawberry fields are the only place I can get peace nowadays. Whispers followed me continuously throughout camp, and the cabin was just too stressful a place to be now. So I numbly continued on my zig-zaggy path to the forest. I was drawn there, for its solitude and peace. Even though the awful memories pervaded my mind, I was in a different part of the forest, and they were easily locked down. I guess I wasn't paying attention, because I soon walked into a collection of rocks. "AHH!" and a few choice swear words slipped out as a sharp pain hit me. But it only deterred me for a moment, and I continued on my quest to overcome obstacles. So, with an obstacle in front of me, I began to climb.

When I finally heaved myself over the edge, I felt a bit smug. "Ha, rock! Beat that!" The rock, of course, remained silent. It was then I realized where I was. The rock that I had conquered was Zeus' Fist. Since I was at the top, I had a view of the entire camp.

I gasped. Was it always so utterly, heartbreakingly beautiful? Or had my recent loss sharpened everything? I considered the latter as I made myself comfortable enough to stay for a bit. The woods spanned below me, looking ominous and cool. As did camp. Everything was cast in an odd light. Almost as if the sun was relunctantly there, aching to move on. 'Apollo,'my mind rationally explained. I rested on my belly, with my chin in my hands, my elbows propped out. The view was magnificent. The sun warmed my back, and I found myself humming an old tune. Ana had taught me it, at the countless spendies(sleepovers, for those that don't speak teenager), that we had had. It went something like,
Save The Earth... Save The Earth...If someone doesn't care, There's nothing left to share. Upon the Earth!
Take a look. Read the signs... Are pointing to destruction. If we don't do something now!
Blue oceans and streams, Are they only in our dreams, Or can we still save them, From pollution of the modern day man?

Still humming that tune, my mind drifted into unconciousness.

A bright light was shining into my eyes. Brighter then the sun. Hotter than it too. It relentlessly shined, burning, brighter. Too hot! I tried to scream, but it had burned my voice away. I was charred, broken, but i continued. Burning deeper and deeper into my soul.

That was when I snapped my eyes open and sprang to my feet. The sun was low, far away. it couldn't of been burning me. But it had felt so real.... Thats when I noticed the flower. It had grown when I was sleeping, and was now somehow my knee high.

It was in the form of a rose. A light yellow-pink one. But the shape seemed to flicker. Tulip, Rose, Chrysanthemum, Rose. And the scent it gave off was better than all the Gods put together. I pulled out my Chap Stick to cut it down and bring it too my sisters, but there was a problem. The blade on my weapon had long melted away. It was now useless. While I considered this developement, I got an epiphany.

"ANA!" I screeched, and flung myself upon the flower. Then, I screeched again and flopped back. I might kill her(again)! I remembered hearing awhile ago, a Satyr speak to his friend. "Doesn't matter if you beat me at swordfighting. At least i'll come back. Just get reincarnated as a flower or something." he had spoken jokingly, and I had only half-listened, but now these words were key to my being forgiven.

"Ana?" I tentatively asked. The flower swelled up, becoming bigger. I took that as a yes. "Im so sorry. It shouldve been me. You had a whole life ahead of you. I don't deserve to live. I wish you may take my place." The flower wilted from the start, and by the end was the size of my pinky. I took that as a no. "So your not mad?" I continued. It sprang up and grew large again. "Oh, but I still feel horrible!" She simply stayed the same. "Do you know whats going on out here?" I asked her. She shrank a bit, but was still immense. So, I proceded to have a long overdue chat with my best friend. Who just happened to be a flower.

The little flakes melted onto my warm skin. My cheeks were flushed and I was just about bursting with excitement. As I skipped to my cabin, i thought it over. "Anas alive! Well, sorta. But she's not mad! And we can talk!" So I happily continued on my way, reliving every moment. When I opened my cabin door, it didn't quite register with me that there was a flurry of activity going on. In my sphere of perfection, I had completely forgotten about Artemis and Apollo. But my sisters rushing about in the cabin made reality unpleasantly snap back. Once again, I was out of the loop, and they had to hurriedly explain to me why it was urgent we leave immediately.

"You know about Solar Eclispses?" Thaila asked. I shrugged, sorta yes/no, so she rushedly explained. "Solar Eclispses are when the moon blocks out the sun. Therefore, Artemis is stronger and Apollo is weaker. This is only a partial eclispe, but a solar one nonetheless. Got it?" I nodded and she continued. "Well, the first one thats happening is going to be on January 26. We need to be there to help Artemis. It's one of Apollos weakest times, so we must take Eric while Artemis deals with Apollo. If we fail now, Apollo will get his chance at Artemis on Febuary 9th, the Lunar Eclispe, which is when the sun blocks out the moon, therefore one of Artemis' weakest times." I nodded, following along.

"So where are we going?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Western Indonesia," was the reply I got.
