Chapter 13: I tick off my first god!
Ginny's P.O.V.
After freeing Harmonia, the rest of our quest went all right, well, as good as it could be with two demigods and a witch, we flew mostly on the back of Pegasus. But we landed some and let him just walk, so his wings could rest. We would find places with no one around to set up camp to sleep, Pegasus would fly off somewhere, I don't know where, but by the time we got out of bed he would already be back, waiting for us.
Jason and I counted to share a tent now, after that one night, and we've even, well, never mind, but we've gotten a lot closer on this trip, we even told each other I love you. He was so great, sometimes it was hard to believe he actually found me pretty and loved me, he was gorgeous and could have any girl at camp he wanted, but he only wanted me. Hazel said it wasn't all that surprising, considering I was very pretty, but I didn't see myself as pretty, I mean I don't think I'm ugly, but.. I guess you can say I'm normal looking. Hazel disagreed with that. And even pointed out a few other demigods at camp that has said I was hot. I really didn't get where anyone thought I was.
Hazel has become a good friend and person to talk to, she promised not to mention to Ron about Jason and I sharing a tent, even if she didn't like keeping a secret from him, but finally gave in and agreed it wasn't really his business and she admitted she didn't she were he mistrusted Jason so much, he proved to Hazel he was a good guy when just nights a couple of nights ago, the day we saved Harmonia, that night we were camping and Hazel went to find some firewood, when we heard her scream, we ran to her and found her being attacked by a monster, I was shocked and didn't move, but Jason sprung into action and saved Hazel's life, and that's what proved to her Jason really could be trusted.
Right now we were heading to Greece flying on the back of Pegasus. Hopefully we made it to Harry and the others before sunset. Jason was holding my waist tightly, Pegasus would only let me stay in front, and if I wasn't on him, he wouldn't even let the other two on at all. I thought it was funny, but I don't think Jason thought it was funny when Pegasus had kicked him in the back of the head when he had tried to climb on him before me.
Pegasus lowered himself and started to fly down ward, I didn't understand why he was doing it, maybe he was tired and wanted to rest, but then I heard Hazel.
"Oh... wow." She said, and I looked up to see a breath-taken seen. I saw a mountain jutting out of the sea less than a mile north, it was a massive fist of blinding white rocks thrust into the sky. On one side, the limestone cliffs were completely sheer, drooping into the sea over thousands of feet below. On one side, the mountain sloped in tiers, covered in green forest.
"That's not..." I went to ask.
"No, Gin Gin, where not even in Greece yet." Jason answered before I finished, I guess he knew what I was going to ask. He pulled a GPS he had taken from the Amazons out of his pocket and frowned. "According to this, that's the Rock of Gibraltar. At the tip of spin, so that over there is Africa, where heading toward the Mouth of the Mediterranean."
"So, how far is it then?" I asked. Jason was silent a moment looking over the GPS.
"If we were normal people, sealing the sea, probably a few days," said Jason, "but since we're anything but normal and flying on the back of an immortal flying horse...mmm lets see, well we'll have to go past Rome and into the Ionian Sea, to get to Greece, that shouldn't take to long, but Mount Olympus is in Olimpos Greece, so once we get to Greece, we have to fly all the way to the other side..so..I..don't really know... hopefully by sunset. If not lets just hope the others got to Harry before us."
I frowned. I didn't like the sound of that, I wanted to be there to fight and help save Harry, repay him for saving my life, once, but if we couldn't a least maybe the other will reach him, him being saved by someone is all that really matters, but I did feel the need to repay him for saving my life in my first year at Hogwarts.
"Hey, Jason, what Island is that?" Hazel asked, I looked down to where she was talking about, but didn't see any Island, all I saw was a bunch of fog, but Pegasus seemed to be heading that way.
"That's funny it's not on this thing." Jason said, talking about the GPS. I looked harder and still didn't see anything.
"What are you two talking about?" I demanded. "I don't see anything."
"Really?" Jason asked. "You don't see that island right there...mm... must be the mist, you're not a demigod, honey, so.." He trailed off and didn't finish. I think he was trying to figure something out. "Hang on isn't this where the Pillars of Hercules use to be?"
"That's what they called this area in the old days." Hazel said. "The rock was one, but nobody was sure which was the other, some thought maybe Africa."
"So why is Pegasus taking us down there?" Jason asked. I shrugged, a little upset they could see something I couldn't. Jason leaned in closer and took his hand and pulled my hair from in front to the back, then talked into my ear. "Hey, Red, just look right there where I am pointing." I did what he said. "Now just concentrate real hard, imagine there is an island there... you know there is so just stare for a moment, maybe you'll see it."
I looked like he said, trying to imagine what this island looked like, at first nothing, but then the fog seemed to fade away and I gasped.
"You see it?" Jason asked. I nodded. Somehow I knew he was smiling even though I couldn't see him.
The island was directly ahead of us, in the middle of the straits, it was a small hilly grass of land, covered in forest and ringed with white beaches. In front of the island, jutting from waves about a hundred yards offshore, were two white Grecian columns even taller than Gryffindor tower. Between the columns, huge silver words glittered underwater: NON PLUS ULTRA.
"Pegasus is heading right toward the island." I said. "What should I do? Should I just let him or should I try to get him to stop or go around?"
"Who's that?" Hazel asked. At first I saw nothing, but I concentrated and then I saw him, there was a man standing on the island.
"I don't...no, it couldn't be?" Jason said.
"Who?" I asked.
"Hercules." he said. "If this use to be the Pillars of Hercules, then my guess is we have to ask him permission to pass. I guess Pegasus already knew that."
We didn't say anything else as Pegasus got further down, as the man watched us, then he landed right on the island in front of him, and we climbed off and the man just watched.
I couldn't help but noticed he was handsome, looked a bit like a black-haired Jason, but taller, with the same blue eyes, but with coppery skin, like he never went in out of the sun, and looked about twenty, with a scruffy beard as if he hadn't shaved in two days. And he wore an old Greek style tunic, no shores and his ebony hair was blowing all over his head in the wind. He also had a club at his feet, a five-foot-long polished cylinder of mahogany with a leather handgrip studded in bronze. What laid on the other side of him was very weird, a pale of very large pearls about the size of a man's fist.
"Well, hasn't the Pillars been busy today?" He asked. As we approached him slowly, he looked behind us at Pegasus. "Pegasus uh, never got to ride him myself, not many have." He looked at every one of us. "Who was the lucky one he liked?" We were taken back for a moment, but then I raised my hand.
"Me." I said. Hercules, if it was Hercules looked me over and gave a nod.
"I can see why, as pretty as you are. Must be a daughter of Aphrodite."
"No, actually I'm..." I tried. But Hercules shook his head.
"Hang on, you're not a demigod are you?" He asked. I shook my head.
"No, I'm a witch." I said. He frowned.
"One of those creatures." He said. My eyebrows rose.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Jason demanded.
"Nothing, don't mean to insult the lady, but I knew this one witch." Hercules said. "Jason had promised to marry her, he even brought her abroad the Argo. But then he decided to marry someone else, she gave his new bride to be a wedding dress dipped in some kind of potion that burned her up."
"You're talking about Medea." Jason said, I frowned, I didn't know who Medea was, but I didn't like the sound of her.
"Met her before?" Hercules asked, as Jason scowled when he mentioned Medea.
"Yes, she tried to kill me and my friends." Jason said. "Mostly because my name is Jason." Hercules nodded.
"That'll do it?" He said. He then looked over us, but I noticed he didn't give much thought to Hazel, he barely even looked at her. I frowned, wondering if it had anything to do with her being a daughter of Hades. I know Nico complained a lot because people tended to judge them for who their dad was. Which I didn't think was fair, they can't help who their mums hooked up with.
"So," Hercules went on. "Looking from me to Jason. "I guess you guys want permission to pass like the others did?"
"The others?" I asked, hoping it had been who I am thinking.
"Yes, there was a whole ship full." Hercules said. "But only three came to talk to me. A daughter of Athena, a daughter of Aphrodite, and the one known as the hero of Olympus, Percy Jackson, they say he is the most powerful demigod in modern times." He shrugged. "I didn't like him. Had too much of a smart mouth, seemed to have some kind of grudge against me. But anyway, he was a son of Poseidon, so the quest I had him do wasn't too hard." He pointed over to the pale of large pearls. "I just had him go into the sea and find a pearl for each person on the ship, the size of my fist." I looked at the pearls again and was shocked to realize, Percy did not only find seven pearls the size of Hercules' fist, but you could tell which went with who by the color of them: one was a smoky grey, one a sea-green, a fiery red one, two were white like a dove, a black one, a sliver one that matched Luna's eyes, and one red and gold like Gyffindor colors.
"A Quest?" Jason asked. Hercules gave a nod.
"Yes, " he said. "I'm suppose to give you a standard warning about how dangerous the ancient lands is and all that. Not just any demigod can survive the Mare Nostrum. I have to give you a quest to complete. Prove your worth, blah, blah, blah, I don't make a deal out of it... as you can see." He pointed to the pearls again. "If Jackson hadn't been such a smart ass. I might even have given him something easier to do, like sing a song or give the daughter of Athena a riddle to answer. I'm sure she could answer it, but he was smart, so I gave him a little harder task, well, I thought it would be, who knew sons of Poseidon could sense where pearls was." He shrugged. "Oh well, they were on their way to save some demigod that was captured by giants. Apparently he was important to the war somehow."
"Harry," Hazel spoke up for the first time. "We're on our way to save him too." Hercules frowned at her, his eyes suddenly taken on an angry look.
"Harry, as in Heracleitus Potter, the son of Hera?" He demanded.
"Umm, yeah." Hazel answered, taking a step back, looking nervous.
"No wonder that Daughter of Athena, what's her name? Annemarie. No wonder she avoided saying his name." Hercules ranted. "She knew I wouldn't like it. They... they tricked me. Damn them, if I knew the son of Hera was who they were going to save...I would have given the brats a lot harder quest."
"What do you have against Harry?" Jason demanded. "You've never even met him."
"He's her son." Hercules ranted. "She made my life hell, she made me kill my first family. My life was wasted on ridiculous quest. My second wife died, after being tricked into poisoning me and leaving me to a painful demise. And my compensation? I got to become a minor god. Immortal, so I can never forget my pain. Stuck here as a gatekeeper. And she thought she could have a child and I would leave him untouched... Oh no, I cursed him to have the same painful life I had. Oh she had big plans for her little baby, she wanted to tell Zeus right off about him, she hoped to take him to Olympus and her and Zeus raise help his mortal parents raise, she wanted my dad and her to be his divine parents and the mortals to be his earthy parents, he would spend on earth to learn the go back to Olympus to have fun, then he would grow up and save the world, her child would be the hero for a change, Zeus would turn him into a god and he would become one of his companions, to stand by his throne like Nike and her siblings do, I didn't even get that, so why should he. The little bastard shouldn't even be considered a demigod, it's not like Hera gave birth to him. She had another woman carry him for her. Hell she even had a goddess picked out for him to marry."
"You didn't have to curse him." Jason said. "I doubt dad would have let him stand by his throne. He doesn't like Harry."
Hercules snorted. "Dad doesn't like anyone but himself." Jason frowned at that and I reached over and squeezed his hand. "But Hera could have talked him into, he just can's say no when it comes to her, he may cheat on her and have demigods, but when Hera really wants something dad gives in, so I stepped in myself and cursed him. Though my curse didn't seem to be to have worked too much, his mortal parents were killed and he's had a few things happen to him at the wizard school, and there is the whole Tom Riddle thing, but other then that, his life seems to have been great, even has a new dad now and one hot daughter of Aphrodite that shares his bed. Yeah his life is better than mine was."
"You know nothing about my brother." Jason said. Hercules looked at him in surprised. "If you think the things at Hogwarts is all Harry has had to go though you're wrong, dead wrong. Oh, your curse worked, in fact it worked a little too well. I don't know how your life was as a kid growing up, the only thing I've read about when you were young was your birth, and you struggling snakes when you were a toddler, but Harry his parents were killed when he was one year old, the wizard world who were suppose to be his friends, and look out for him left him on a doorstep in the middle of the night on the first of November. He's left was nothing but hell from there on out, his bedroom for the next ten years was a closet under the stairs, where he would get locked up and beat when his so-called Aunt and Uncle thought he deserved it and didn't think he got the house cleaned enough, he was eleven by the time he got his own bedroom, and even then they locked his doors and put bars on his windows. He finally thought he could be happy at Hogwarts, only to have his friends turn on him and blame him when something bed happened, they even kicked him out of school just for defending himself against dementors, snapped his wand leaving him helpless if Voldemort was to show up, thankfully Percy and Annabeth brought him to camp before anything like that could happen, and he couldn't even be happy there, having to go on one quest after another, he had barely gotten Piper back from being kidnapped when he was dragged right out of her arms and into Tartarus, and now he's locked up in some tomb, and if he isn't saved by the time the sun goes down today, he's dead. Oh and of course Voldemort is still after him and won't stop until either he finally kills Harry or Harry kills him. So, yeah, I think your curse worked."
When Jason was done with his rant, all three of us, Hazel, Hercules, and I was staring at him wide-eyed.
"I never even had to go to Tartarus." Hercules said, frowning. "And I didn't know about the Aunt and Uncle, I knew about the other stuff, but I didn't know...I wanted his life to be like mine, one endless quest after another, I wanted him to have to watch every girl he fell in love to die, just like I had too... but."
"That's horrible." Hazel said. Hercules glared at her.
"Want me to bring up all the things I've heard about you, daughter of Hades?" Hercules demanded. "The things you did, before you died. I think your little friends wouldn't be very happy about that would they?" Hazel gulped. But the only thing I could think of was the fact Hercules had said before she had died. Did Nico find her in the Underworld? Is that why they kept everything about her secret? "My wife Hebe dose visit me from time to time and she tells me a little of what's going on. Since I can't leave this island without permission from dad." Hercules scowled. "I don't know much that goes on now a days, I have to get my information from demigods and Hebe. Who at the moment is not talking to me." We stood silent for a while before Hercules sighed.
"You demigods want to pass the pillars fine." Hercules said. "But you'll have a hard quest to do. I happen to know that the Neiman lion is running around on an island not far from here, I want you, Jason, to go defeat him and bring me back his coat as proof."
Jason looked stunned for a moment, but then nodded. "Fine, I'll do it."
"As for your friends, I want Hazel to help you." Hercules said. "Maybe the lion will send her back to the Underworld where she belongs, but as for the pretty little witch, it is all up to her, she can do what she wants, she is not a demigod, so I can't give her a quest, she can go with you, she can pass on her own or she could do the smart thing and turn around and go home or wherever."
"I'm going to help Jason." I said.
Hercules grunted. "You have to be careful when falling in love with son's of Zeus. Our relationships never end well." I frowned, but Jason narrowed his eyes at Hercules, then took me hand.
"Come on, you two, let's go, get this over with, so we can save Harry." He was looking Hercules straight in the eyes when he said it and Hercules only smirked.
"I hope you do make it to Heraclitus and he does get saved." He said. "So, if or when, the daughter of Aphrodite he's sleeping with dies, he'll be able to watch it happen. Just like I had to watch my family die, my wife and kids." I frowned it seemed to me that these Greek gods liked taking a lot out on incent people. I was suddenly very happy I wasn't a demigod, that I had a real mother and father and brothers that loved me and I didn't have to worry about some god coming after me just because my godly parent did something to them. I still frowned in worry though. I had a demigod boyfriend and I lot of demigod friends I had to worry about though. I just hoped all of them survive this war.
I climbed on Pegasus, Jason got behind me and Hazel got behind him, I thought it was a little funny how she never held on to his waist to help herself from falling off, she always just grabbed the sizes of his shirt, and even that made her seem uncomfortable. I thought about Hercules saying Hazel had died and came back, I wondered if she hadn't lived in one of those old times where it would be unlady like and you would be considered a ...well something bad for even looking at a boy and if that was the reason she was so uncomfortable being so close to Jason.
"How are we going to find the Neiman lion once we get to this island." Hazel asked.
"I guess we just have to look." Jason said. "Me and you are demigods, so maybe he will smell us and come find us. So, just be on the look out and ready in case of an attack." I snickered. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing." I said, but truthfully I thought it was funny how he said, he'll smell us. Like they stick or something. I wondered what demigods smelled liked to monsters. And what makes them smell at all. Could they just smell the god in them or do they actually stick, hopefully it isn't the later. Whenever we got back to camp I think I'll ask Annabeth and Percy's satyr friend Grover what they smelt like. If he's still there by the time we got back.
"We must be there, Pegasus is taking us down." Hazel said.
"Remember, stay on the look out." Jason said. "And be ready if the thing attacks."
"Yeah," I couldn't help but put in. "The lion might smell you." I snickered and Jason lightly pinched my side. Not heard, more like a little tickle, before he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
"Ha, ha, very funny." He said. "Let's all make fun of how the demigods stick." I heard Hazel giggle, I guess she thought it was funny like I did. Then we were all serious when Pegasus landed on the ground. We climbed off and he flew away, but I didn't worry about that. I knew he would be back.
Jason took his coin out of his pocket and flipped it up, turning it into a sword, Hazel had her spear out, and I took the little sword off my neckless and made it grow full size.
We walked around the island which looked more like a jungle to me, with tall grass and tons of trees, I hoped we find the Neiman lion quick and could kill it. I heard stories about it and knew the in side of its mouth was the only place it could be killed, I also knew that Percy Jackson had killed it once, but didn't know how he did it and suddenly wondered what he did with its coat, when Jason told me the stories when Hercules killed it, he said you get to keep the coat. I doubted Percy still had his, maybe he gave it away or lost it during a quest.
We didn't talk much while we searched for the lion, Jason thought it better if we stayed as quite as we could, in case it did smell him and Hazel, we didn't want to make it easier for it to find us by making a lot of noise, it would be better for us to see him first. Then for him to see us. I noticed Jason was walking not beside me and holding my hand; like we usually did when on foot, but a little in front of me holding his arm out, like he was blocking me from something. I had to roll my eyes with a smile. But then Jason shouted bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Hazel, look out!" Jason cried, he then limped forward and tackled her to the ground as the biggest lion I had ever seen came running at us and if Jason hadn't tackled Hazel to the ground it would have got her, but now it was right in front of me, growling with two big gold eyes, that matched his golden fur, I backed up holding up my sword. I admit I was pretty scared, you couldn't blame me, the thing was bigger than Marauder and I thought he was huge, with foot long sharp fangs. I backed up again then it got me across the shoulder with sharp gold paws, I cried out and fall.
"Get away from her!" Jason cried, jumping up, he grabbed his sword from where he had dropped it and came running toward us. Hazel also stood and grabbed her spear. Jason raised his sword and came at it, he stabbed it in the side, of course it didn't hurt it, but I think Jason was just trying to get its mind off me, by doing that. Hazel went to its other side and stabbed at it. They made it confuse, he couldn't decide who he wanted to attack first, Jason or Hazel, but he seemed to have forgotten all about me, and I got an idea.
I reached in my pocket and pulled out my wand and pointed it at the lion. I cried out a spell and ropes shout up out of the ground, and wrapped around the lion. He growled and roared, but the ropes just tightened themselves, I then called the spell out again, and more ropes came out of the ground and one wrapped around the bottom of its mouth and the other wrapped around, the top, holding its mouth opened. I got this idea from the story I heard from that Clarisse Le Rue girl tell her half-brother/ wizard Blasé Zabini, about how Harry killed the Hungarian Horntail dragon, and got the horn Piper's dagger was made out of, and he even had a dragon hide jacket he got from the skin, but I don't know what he did with the rest of it. But Harry had used ropes from this spell to hold its mouth closed, so it couldn't breathe fire. while he climbed up its back and stabbed it right between the eyes, I think is what she said, or was it on top of the head. I can't remember which.
"You're a genius, Ginny." Jason cried smiling, he backed away from the lion a little, the skin began to darken as I heard thunder, then Jason brought his sword down and stabbed the ground with it, making lighting come from the sky and hit the Neiman lion right in the mouth, nothing was left but I lion skin coat. Jason picked it up.
"Too bad we have to hand that over to Jerkules." I said, Jason smirked at the nickname I just gave Hercules, I guess he hadn't liked him either. First he was all nice and helpful because he didn't want to be one of those guys that put demigods on hard quest, but then he turned into a big jerk just because Hazel mentioned Harry, so what if his mother made his life hell, Harry never did anything to him. Nor did we. So why take it out on us just because Harry is our friend. We should have been like Annabeth and not mentioned Harry by name. But none of us is a daughter of a wisdom goddess, and we're not a know-it-all like her, so how was we to know not to mention him.
Pegasus landed in front of us when Jason was looking over my wound, it wasn't too bad, if I was a muggle I would get a few stitches, but since I was a witch, I just pointed my wand at it and said a healing spell, it closed at once and Jason looked relived.
We all then hoped on Pegasus and flew toward Hercules or to whom I was now calling Jerkules. Pegasus landed right where he had before and we climbed off and Hercules looked a little shocked to see us.
"Well, you actually did it." he said. "I didn't think you could. Or didn't think it would be this fast, it took Jackson longer to keep jumping in the sea to carrying up more pearls." He held his hand out for the lion skin coat, Jason looked down at it then sighed and went to reach it to him, but something told me that it could come in handy, and something told me not only because if we wore it we couldn't get hit with anything. But something told me it could come in handy a lot more than that.
"Wait." I cried and grabbed Jason's hand. I looked at Hercules. "Look, we killed the thing we should be able to keep the coat. You have your own after all." Hercules frowned at me.
"Yes, but the deal was that I let you pass if you kill the Neiman lion and brought me his coat as proof." He said. "Besides," I could have been mistaken but I was pretty sure Hercules' face turned red. "About a thousand years or so ago some stupid daughter of Hermes stole my lion skin coat while I was lying here asleep, left a note saying she was giving it to her boyfriend for his birthday, another son of Zeus, never got it back either." I could see Jason trying to hold back a laugh.
"Yeah, but you said we only had to show it to you." Hazel spoke up. "You didn't say anything about giving it to you."
"It was implied." Hercules said. "Now, if you want to pass, you must hand me over the coat, if not then keep it and go back the other way."
"Jason killed it, the coat should be his." I said, narrowing my eyes. Jason reached the hand not holding the coat out and laid it on my arm. "Gin, it's okay, we don't need it, and getting to Harry is more important than a lion skin coat. I sighed, but he had a point and I gave in. When Jason walked forward to hand Jerkules the coat, Hazel grabbed my arm.
"You're right, we shouldn't have to give Hercules the coat, he just wanted to replace the one he lost without having to do the work to get it. You and Jason killed the Neiman lion, so you two should get to keep it, that's how it's suppose to be. Besides I got this feeling we're going to need it for something." I nodded.
"Me too." I said. Hazel looked over at the pearls.
"I have an idea, but I don't think pearls are considered gems and I know they're not metal, they're from Poseidon's sea, so I don't think I can summon them, but do you have a spell that could lift them?" I smirked and gave a nod. Though I didn't know what she was talking about with the gem thing, but I got what she was thinking anyway. "Good, so, if you can, when I give you the go ahead make them attack Hercules, and I'll grab the coat, but we have to do it before he puts it on. And after he gives us permission to pass."
I gave a nod and Hazel and I stepped closer as Jason handed Hercules the coat, he admired it, and was thankfully taken his time to put it on.
"Lord Hercules." Hazel asked sweetly , "You've seen the coat, now can we pass?" She looked back at me and gave a nod. I grinned and pulled out my wand and pointed it at the pearls.
"Yeah," Hercules said. "You can pass... so go on get...hey, what the?" He was cut off by one of the pearls, the black one, smacking him in the back of the head. I waved my wand and the others went flying at him. "Whose doing that?" He dropped the coat, as the pearls just kept hitting him over and over. I was laughing, the jerk deserved it.
"Ginny, what are you doing?" Jason cried. "He'll kill us." Hazel grabbed the coat and then Jason's arm.
"Come on, Jason, he said we could pass." She dragged him back toward Pegasus who was watching, with what I was sure was amusement in his eyes. I had to let the spell drop to run to Pegasus or else he wouldn't let Jason or Hazel on.
"You little witch!" Hercules cried. "You're going to pay for that?" He came at me, Jason pulled out his sword to defend me, but I just turned around and got him with a Bat-Boggey Hex, he cried out and tried to shove them away, then I climbed on Pegasus. Jason and Hazel right behind me and we took off flying.
"Why the Hades, did you two do that?" Jason demanded. "It's just a coat."
"A coat, that can stop any hex or weapon from harming whoever is wearing it." Hazel said. "Besides he didn't deserve it, you and Ginny killed the Neimon lion, that should be your coat."
"Besides," I said, when Jason opened his mouth to argue. "I have a feeling we're going to need it." Hazel nodded. "And not just to stop something from hitting us."
Jason just shook his head. "I'm on a quest with two crazy girls. And I thought Harry was bad when it came to pissing off the gods, you know we're not going to be able to take that way back, and we most likely ruined it for Leo and them too, considering he knows we had been with them."
"We'll just go all the way around." I said. "It's not like we'll be in a hurry on the way back. When Harry is saved, we won't have a time limit anymore, I doubt he'll be in a hurry to save Enyo."
"I guess you're right about that." Jason said, as he kissed my shoulder then laid his head on it. I smiled, we were nearly to Greece now, hopefully we'll make it to Harry on time. If not I'm sure Piper will.
"A.N. Hope that was good, At first I didn't know what this chapter would be about, but then I decided to have someone come across Hercules, and decided it would be good to show Ginny and them again, and the thing about Hercules's coat, I'm sure it was never stolen from him, but I couldn't reset it, and yes it will come out who it was that took it. And I got a little bad news, this story isn't going to be as long as my last two, I'm running out of things that could happen and am getting tired of keeping Piper and Harry apart, but there is still a few more chapters, they still have to get to Harry, save him, then save Hera, then save Enyo and I was planning on having the last chapter where Harry made it home and surprised Sirius, but I still got another story to write and it probably will be as long as the first two, if not longer.
