Severus had chosen whilst on the ferry, hearing about Hermione's pull to the water, to take the long route to Athens, the one that covered mainly land. In choosing that route though, it meant that their trip was longer, but not by much due to him not removing his foot from the accelerator since they were first attacked. Hades himself would need to take him to the Underworld before he allowed Alexander and Hermione to be hurt on his watch and he could prevent it. Looking at the three other occupants, he noted that Dobby had returned to his knitting, while the couple in the rear were checking their arrows for damage.

The man sighed internally, he knew that they were going to be leaving for wherever it was that demigods went soon, and that he would be unable to follow them there. It was painful to think because he truly did see them both as his children; they had sneaked in and laced themselves around his very soul. He simply hoped that he wouldn't be forgotten in their travels, and after they had defeated the Dark Lord that they would visit him and the Grangers.

Then he shook his head, of all the stupid things to think of. There was no chance in hell that either kid would leave them totally, even if they were to ascend to Olympus and become gods, they would still work out a way to be in his life. He knew that they were interested in becoming teachers but were unsure what it meant to be a demigod so weren't putting their eggs completely in that basket, and he truly hoped that they were allowed to have real lives, they'd already been through so much and had even more trials heading for them that they deserved that chance once it was all over and done with.

His schedule for getting the weapons under the cloak of night was gone as quickly as the Harpies attacked, now it was Disillusionment, Notice-Me-Not, and Silencing spells to make it a quick solution. For added protection, the demigods would go under Lex's Invisibility Cloak and be the ones going for the two weapons, while Severus and an invisible Dobby guarded them.

"Severus, how long until we get to my father's temple?" Lex asked from his spot, a bolt of lightning in his hand, knowing that conventional weapons would be a danger in public.

Checking the map and road signs, the man replied, "An hour or so. You two ready?"

"Yes," came the joint reply.

"Good, good," Severus thought to himself, his fingers white on the steering wheel from clutching it so hard, "Glad you two are."

In the back seat, the couple were clutching to each other, their nerves hidden better than their friend's, "Now the temple is actually only 15 columns and a platform of sorts, completely open and not that many Muggle places to hid your weapon. Zeus probably went and hid it behind some sort of ward that only you can find and access."

"So all we need to do is find and access it, can't be too hard then hey?" Lex joked badly.

Hermione reached up and kissed her worried boyfriend, "We'll be fine Alexander, I can't feel anything bad happening, only good."

"Alright Mia, but be sure to stay close to me please, I can't risk losing you"

The witch nodded into his body, knowing that she couldn't lose him either. They were like that until Severus softly said to them, "We're here."

The young demigods looked out of the window and sighed at the 'temple' before them; it was breathtaking to gaze at and they felt as though they could forever do it but knew that they had a job to do and wasting time was dangerous. Placing the various charms on each other, they then slipped beneath the Invisibility Cloak, and out of the car. Severus got out also, a camera in one hand, looking like a tourist, causing the kids to chuckle, harder at the glare they received, "Looking good there Severus."

"Mind it the pair of you and get that bloody weapon before we're surrounded by monsters," the potions master took a deep breath, "And be safe ok?"

"We will be," and they were off towards the columns.

As they passed over the boundaries of the temple grounds, they felt the presence of the gods, warming their souls and feeling of home. Two sets of eyes scanned over the columns, looking for some sign of Zeus' touch, and Lex's weapon. When he found it, Alexander swore out his father, "Bloody hell, he would have to put it there."

Mia looked to where her boyfriend was pointing her hand and groaned, "We're definitely having words with our fathers when we meet them. Do you feel confident enough to float up yourself or do you want help?"

Lex sighed and shook his head, "I'll float but be ready to catch me if something goes wrong."

"Was going to be any way," the witch gave him a kiss and left the cloak, "Don't lose it, I'm going to need it no doubt."

With a shake of his unseen head, the son of Zeus called upon the air and rose from the ground. He had been doing this since he was young, and was pretty good at controlling it but now he had the added risk that this was in public, and whilst the Muggles weren't able to see him, if he screwed up, they would be able to. Still, he calmly drifted up, one eye always on his target, trusting Mia to warn him if any monsters appeared. It didn't take long before he was eye-to-eye with the shimmering section on the top of one of the columns. Seeing the lightning bolt symbol there, Lex brought one forth and placed it on there, smiling as it moved to reveal a cavity.

Inside of the cavity, there sat a weapon that oozed with power. It was a Labrys, or double-edged axe, and it was held in a leather holster that was designed to be carried over his back. Being very careful, as to not knock aside the cloak, Lex reached in and grabbed the handle of the weapon. A crack of lightning echoed around, everyone jumping in shock as it was a clear sky, before they remembered where they were and many began praying in some way. Lex simply removed the axe, put it on, and floated back to the ground.

Finding his friend, he threw the cloak over her and held her close, "Let's get back to the car, now."

"Yeah," the young pair raced to the car, grabbing Severus as they did so.

Once in the car and moving towards their next destination, Lex showed the occupants his weapon. Dobby was the one who explained it in more detail, "It is a Labrys, made from Mythril with Imperial Gold, the gold of the gods, threaded within it and making the blade of each edge. The runes that are carved into it stand for family, protection, healing and divine magic. It is a powerful weapon."

The other three nodded in agreement, it had their hairs standing on edge from the power it exuded. Up in Olympus, Zeus had felt it the second his son had collected the weapon he had gotten Hephaestus to make for him. It brought a large smile to his face as he sat on his throne in the convening area; his son and niece were doing wonderfully through the challenges left by him and soon his brother. They hadn't wished it but knew that for the children to prove themselves they would have to go through tests of sorts, because while the 12 Olympians loved them both, unless they were found worthy, the gods were unable to allow them to become gods in their own right.

"I am proud of you my son," the King of the Gods said to the world he oversaw.
