~~~~~•~~~~• Leo •~~~~•~~~~~
Leo woke up at the desk in his room with scrolls and papers everywhere. He had to pull a paper off of his face. He went onto the main deck and asked Festus how they where doing.
He responded that they should land for supplies and that they where flying over Serbia.
"Awesome. Thanks Festus."
When Hazel woke up, he told her that they had to land and to wake everyone up. She got Frank and Nico while Leo got Jason and Piper. Once everyone was up, Nico told everyone that he contacted Percy and Annabeth.
"What? That's awesome! How?" Leo said.
Nico sighed. "I still don't know, but I also had a dream about them last night. On Daedleus' laptop, there was a map. It was like a GPS or something. I have no idea how they found that one folder or when Daedleus went Tartarus, so don't ask."
Leo was stunned, and apparently everyone else was too. No one said anything for a while.
"Ok, so that means that they found a way out!" Leo said.
"What if its a trap?" Hazel reminded them.
"Anything can be a trap, we all know that by now. They have to try though," Piper said.
"I really doubt that it's a trap. Daedleus couldn't know that they would go to Tartarus and that Annabeth would happen to have his laptop with her," Nico said. "Also, he didn't seem like a bad guy when I met him."
"Well, we need to get some grub! I have to find a place for us to land where no one will think we are a giant mutant bird or something," Leo said.
After they ate, he landed the ship on a hill behind a forest of trees so no one could see them. When they got off the ship, a girl appeared in front of them. Like literally, she fell out of the sky.
"Ow!" She looked around. "What the heck! Where am I?"
The girl had brown eyes that glittered in the light. She had had brown hair that hung around her shoulders. She looked like a normal teenager wearing shorts, sneakers, and a T-shirt. She looked around 14. She was holding a flute in her hands. Leo saw her and immediately liked her.
Coach raised his bat and yelled, "die!"
"Wait! Is she a monster?" Piper asked.
"Excuse you? You think I'm a monster? Do I look like a monster?" She stood up and walked toward them. "Who do you-"
"Hey!" Leo said. She looked at him, and he forgot what he was going to say. "Uh… she meant that usually when pretty girls appear in front of us, it's a monster or a nymph."
"What does that even mean?" She asked. "Where am I? Why does he have goat legs?!"
"It means… it's hard to explain. But we are in Serbia." Leo answered.
"Serbia? How? I was just in New York!"
New York? Leo thought. That explains why she got in Pipers face. But how did she get here?
"Half-blood," coach muttered under his breath.
"Who are you people?" She took a step back, as if she was ready to bolt.
"We are demigods." Piper explained with a calming voice, though, she sounded a little annoyed. "He's a satyr, he's Coach- uh Gleason Hedge. I'm Piper, this is Jason, she's Hazel, That's Frank, he's Leo, and that's Nico. We aren't going to hurt you. Just tell us who you are."
She looked at them in horror, than relaxed a little. "Ok. I'm Allie. Can you tell me what a demigod is?"
"Ok, Allie. You have to believe this. All the Greek and Roman gods still exist. So do the monsters and creatures from the myths." Piper put air quotes around 'myths'. "A demigod is a person with one mortal parent and one godly parent. We are all demigods, and so are you."
"That's impossible! What-"
"Actually, it's true. Do you see that ship? Leo built it at our camp for demigods. It's called Camp Half-Blood. It's for people like us to train and prepare for monster attacks and quests. There are a lot of us."
"This must be a dream. I fell asleep in band. I'll wake up in a minute and be back at school." Allie said.
"Do you want me to pinch you or something? It's not a dream! This is all real."
Just then, a Hellhound jumped out of the trees.
Allie screamed. Everyone drew their weapons, and Leo summoned fire in his hand. The hellhound ran for Allie. She screamed and threw her flute. It hit the monster in the nose. It seemed surprised, but it kept running.
Leo yelled "NO!" And threw fire at the hellhound like a Frisbee. It hit the Hellhound and knocked it towards Jason. He slashed through it, and it disintegrated into dust. It started to re-form.
"Get on the ship! You too Allie!" Leo yelled.
She didn't hesitate. She ran with everyone to the Argo II. "Festus! Step on it!" The ship started to fly.
"What the heck is going on?! What was that thing? Why is this ship flying? Why am I in Serbia?!"
"That, my dear, was a hellhound. I think you can figure it out from the name. And this ship is flying 'cause I built it and i'm awesome," Leo said.
"Did that just move?" Allie pointed to Festus. He blew fire into the air. She screamed again.
"Exactly. She told you that mythology still exists," Jason said, putting his arm around Piper.
"Ok. So you're all demigods, and so am I?" She said.
"Pretty much," Frank said. "But Piper and Leo are Greek, and Hazel, Jason and I are Roman. I'm not sure if Nico is Greek or Roman. We had other Greek campers, but…" he choked up. Hazel hugged him to comfort him.
"Should I not ask…?" Allie said.
"I'll tell you later, but now someone should take you on a tour of the ship! Admiral Leo, reporting for duty!" Leo said.
"Ok but I'm going to ask a lot of questions, so be prepared," she said with a little smile.
"Lets go!" Leo hooked arms with her, and they walked off through the ship.
