Jason POV

Jason was with Piper when Leo blew the horn. Piper seemed excited for the quest. But she also seemed kind of anxious. Her hair still looks like Aphrodite gave her a magical haircut. When she heard the horn she stood and reached out her hand for Jason. When he grabbed it she pulled him up and smiled.

"C'mon Sparky." Piper teased playfully. "Time to go." She ran towards the ship. Jason smiled and ran after her. He brown hair was pulled carelessly in a ponytail. It flopped it the wind when she ran. When they arrived at the ship everyone was there already there. Everyone had a small bag hanging form their shoulder. The Romans began to crown around the ship. The seven destined demigods climbed on board. When all the Romans arrived Reyna and Octavian climbed on the boat. Octavian was carrying a stuffed bunny in his hand and a knife in the other.

"Today is the day when the destined seven will embark on their journey to fulfill to prophecy." All the Romans cheered except for Octavian. "The destined seven are Percy, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Piper, and Annabeth." Another loud applaud came from the crowd bellow. Octavian just pouted and crossed his arms. He was acting like a child.

"Good riddance" Octavian mumbled under his breath. Reyna gave him a sharp look. Octavian's eyes brightened. "Do we really want these filthy Graecus to be the destined seven?" A murmur went through the crowd. "And there are more Greeks on the quest than Romans!" Octavian shouted. Jason and Piper exchanged a nervous look. A louder, more angry murmur went through the crowd this time.

"Romans! Control yourselves! You too Octavian!" Reyna shouted over the hundreds of campers. "The Greeks have treated us with nothing but respect!" The crowd was dead silent. "It is time for them to go. They must hurry if they want to make their quest in a timely matter." She gave the seven a nod. Octavian stormed off the ship. "Good luck." Reyna climbed off the boat. All the Romans backed up. And Leo went towards the wheel. He started the ship and it jerked backwards. Piper fell and slid on the hardwood floor panels.

"Watch it Repair Boy!" Piper yelled. She seemed irritated. She stood and dusted herself off. Leo tried to start the ship again, but this time it worked. The ship started to rise. Hazel, Annabeth, Frank, Jason, Piper, and Percy all looked over the railing as the ship lifted into the air. They all waved to the Romans below. Jason made eye contact with Reyna and gave her a smile. She gave him a very small smile in return. It was better than nothing. When the Romans looked like ants below us, we went forward to Camp Half-Blood.

"Hey Jason…" Percy called. "Um, your dad kinda hates me. So you may want to pray to him to not strike us out of the sky." Percy had a serious look on his face.

"Got it. But I'm not sure my dad's a big fan of me either to be honest with you." Percy looked at him confused. Jason pulled Percy out of the group and to a far corner of the ship. Jason explained about what had happened when he went to his dad's shrine after the duel. Percy looked at him with impressed eyes.

"But hey; if Hera made us switch places and lose our memory for this damn quest, I'm pretty sure she wants us alive." Percy countered. Jason laughed.

"I hope so." He replied. Jason's electric blue eyes made contact with Percy's sea green ones. They laughed and walked towards Leo. "How's it going?" Jason asked.

"Fine I guess." Leo replied. "Repair boy got skill. You ain't the only one with flying powers here." Leo joked. "But water isn't my turf. When we start sailing to Rome, Percy you're taking control." Percy nodded comprehensibly. When everything finally felt right. Piper let out a blood curdling shriek. About a dozen of Harpies flew towards the boat. And on one of them was the last person Jason wanted to see right now. The harpy with the person on it landed on top of the boat. She was unnaturally pale, and coffee brown eyes, and jet black hair. It was Khione. She gave them a warm…or cold smile. Then she spoke.

"Miss me?"
