Chapter 2

Aftermath

"This taste very satisfying" I said while stuffing my face with a marine sandwich

"Well I did here that everything feels better after exhausting yourself" replied Auryon. I just shrugged and continued eating, my thought back to the painful way my dear young sister dropped me on my head when she cut down from the vine, lucky we're both "thick headed", no honestly our bodies are stronger to help us with the gods various tasks, so it helps, a lot. I finished my food and proceeded to head towards the empire state building, I was hungry but I didn't want to move more than 10 miles from somewhere to eat food and to get the bounty. We didn't have to ask the guy at the desk, we gave him a slight glare and he just gave us the key for the floor, as we waited for the elevator to go up I felt a bit of the pressure as the elevator gained some speed and listened to the music that apollo had chosen for the ride up to the gods home, as the elevator made the ding for the door opening and the very white palace was present to the two of us and we proceed to the main sight, the throne room, as we walked up we heard some bickering going on and just signed as we got ready to find a way to get their attention so we can keep this short and sweet, but of course as zeus, athena, poseidon, and Ares were the main ones about to jump out of their seats and make things interesting, but thankfully or disappointingly, depending on your view point,they remained seated and just occasionally yelled at each other. I walked over to hephaestus throne and tapped his leg.

"Oh Grady when did you get here?" he responded while looking down getting ready to get to our size.

"Just wanted to come and get our our money for the wyvern"

"Ah yes certainly, let me get you the money, also thank you for keeping him in one piece"

"No problem, I hope that katan that came with it proves useful to."

He chuckled as he began to get out the money bag and handed to me.

"Ah well the creature will help with some development of some new weapons or armor from his scales, it could help a lot, not only that but now we don't have to worry about another creature eating people anymore."

I smiled at his comment as he handed me the money bag

"I'll see you again, and don't forget that you can as my group for any job." I said waving away.

When we left the throne room we had to find the grey sisters to take us to ohio since thats a long distance, why ohio? Well that's where our main home is, currently, so we have to head there, after a few minutes of searching we find the sisters and give them the money to take us to ohio, once we got there we heard what seemed to be a loud vehicle and a person screaming, so I just assumed it was one of our friends being an idiot with their new toy they probably made or upgraded. We can confirm this by seeing someone go flying by and landing in a lake.

"You okay? Rick? You need help?" I yelled at the body of water.

I didn't wait long for an answer as I ran down to the water, and coming back out pulling out my unconscious friend, he was breathing but probably put himself in a bit of shock. We returned to the tents to see a bit of chaos going on, mostly people just running around dodging various flying objects, though of our group of weirdos consisting of Auryon, Rick , I, and four others, one was knocked out with a fist sized welt on their head, going to be hard to tell what caused that.

"Hey what's going on!" Auryon yelled clearly not happy, can't blame her I wasn't either at the moment. After a brief discussion of who did it, we figured out that they were having an intense training session that ended up as a fight, with one person knocked out, at least we got the answer. Afterwards we told them to clean up the place and to get ready to either hunt some food or help fish out what ever Rick had sent flying into the pond. Maybe 30 minutes later after fishing out the thing I discovered it was a stolen motorcycle, apparently the Rick really couldn't keep his thievery with in him, but luckily no one reported a stolen vehicle yet so I could send it back to the owner one the hermes child woke up. My sister with 2 other people had came back with a plump boar. We ate after waking up the 2 unconscious people and sent back the motorcycle, we decided that it could be time to find a new location as we began our journey back toward the camp.

Late into that night after everyone was asleep, I was on guard duty and thought I had heard something weird, I look up to the sky to see bats flying like crazy, as if they were searching, it's a good thing that we're leaving tomorrow as it seems that there is vampires heading this way, were far away enough that the bats were sent out as scouts but still spelled trouble nevertheless. As the sun came up that morning I told everyone to hurry up as we need to get to camp half-blood fast now and that we can't hold down fort till we get their. My only hope is that we don't run into any fights with either of those creatures that rule the night.
