SoftWare: I honestly didn't think I'd get around to this until the summer.

Artemis: You try.

SoftWare: True.

Chapter Five

We Make a Discovery

Okay, before you guys ask, Orion started it. We met with Hera on the island, and she gave us a way back to NYC. If you

don't know what that means, I pity you. We were walking back to Camp when we heard something. Curious, we

checked it out. As we arrived, we saw a group of guys walking to an abandoned warehouse. We followed them at a

distance, and when we saw what was inside, we faced each other in shock. Orion was standing before a crowd of

teenage boys with bows, quivers, knives, and, much to my surprise, teddy bears. If you're curious what that's about,

you're asking the wrong guy. We listened in. "Hunters of Orion, our attack is soon! Artemis still believes I am in Seattle,

and now, we almost have every weapon we need to attack! All we lack is Darkmoon, which is rumored to be in the one

place the Olympians cannot go to. I will go there to retrieve it, and we will attack the Hunters of Artemis!" His followers

cheered. Orion clearly enjoyed the attention. I shook my head. Orion spoke up again. "Annihilate!" They cheered again.

"But the Son of Artemis is mine." With that happy thought, he dismissed the meeting. The Hunters of Orion were sitting

down, playing poker or Call of Duty on the XBox in the corner. Normally, I'm a sucker for video games, but even I have

my limits. I don't hate CoD, I'm just really bad at it. We snuck outside, and when we were a good ways away, Artemis

faced me. "Get to Camp and warn the Soldiers. I'll warn the others." I faced her. "Why can't we just blow it up?" She

faced me. "Because the mortal police will investigate it, and if they find what we found, their world will be drawn into

ours. If it were not for that, I would gladly destroy that place, but we must prioritize." She took off, and I ran to an

alley, before pressing a button on my watch (Christmas present). Cam appeared, and I got in. Starting it up, I engaged

the cloak. Driving carefully, I made my way out of the city and to Camp. When I got there, I was tackled by all of my

half-siblings at once. "Where were you?!" I got up. "Long story, juicy gossip, ask me later. We have a problem.

Assemble the Hunters in the Game Room. And keep it quiet. We don't want to cause a panic." They nodded. In the

Cabin, I faced the Hunters. "My mother and I made a discovery today. Orion has moved to New York City, and he has

an army. They're not ready to attack yet, but we have to prepare. Orion only needs one thing, a weapon called

Darkmoon, which is supposed to be in an area the Olympians can't go. Does anyone know where that is?" Liz raised her

hand. "Liz?" She stood up. "Alaska. It weakens the Olympians' power." I faced Shelby. "Pack your things. Tomorrow, we

leave for Bunker Eight." They nodded.
