Leo 3rd Person POV-Written by Roy (expect Roy Writing)

Coming down on Asteron's back to the forest below, Leo clenched his fist as Talon said "It's gonna get rough!"

A few feet below, Festus roared and steamed as he exploded in several areas of his body. His right leg blew off smashing trees in the vicinity. His left wing blew off as well in flames starting a fire in the forest and finally, the bronze dragon's hull exploded violently causing the area to shake with the magnitude of the explosion.

Leo leaned off the dragon and said "Festus no!"

The shattered dragon's parts flew everywhere while the largest chunk crashed a few meters away and Talon said "Fecilia a forest fire is starting! Can you get it under control?"

"I'm on it!" said the white haired girl as she raised her weapon and snow started to fall and the temperature lowered in the area,

Asteron landed on a patch of smashed trees as the group got off him with Zoe on Fecilia's shoulder. Leo ran up to the remaining debris of his bronze dragon with Jason and Piper in pursuit.

The Latino kneeled in front of the dragon's beeping head and said "No buddy! Stay with me!"

The bronze dragon was now reduced to what lay before them now as a severed bronze head that had oil leaking from its mouth. Its parts were everywhere ranging from wings, claws, hull and plating.

Though the temperature was low, Leo was sweating as he dug through his belt and said "Stay with me!"

The dragon's teeth whirred as his head sparked and crackled. Leo bowed his head as the dragon made a pattern with his teeth and clinking and the Latino dropped his hands in defeat and said "I promise…"

Festus then whirred his teeth as his glowing red eyes dimmed and the light from within died. Jason put a hand on Leo's shoulder as Piper said "I'm sorry Leo…"

He got up and put a hand on the bronze dragon's head and said "I didn't want it to end this way for him but nothing lasts forever."

As he held his hand there, he looked up at the dark, stormy sky as he said "Father, please take him to Bunker Nine, do that at the very least."

Leo backed off as all of Festus' parts in the area glowed a bright shade of yellow and they faded away from existence. Leo nodded and muttered "Thank you…"

Jason felt sorry for Leo since he told them his story on how his mother died as a child and he found something that gave him a feeling of belonging but he had lost that too. Keeping his hand on his friend's shoulder, he said "I'm sorry about Festus but what now?"

They turned to see Asteron in his little blue form scurry on Talon's shoulder as the said half breed leaned on the storm spirit's cage with his arms crossed. Fecilia had Zoe laid on the ground as the former huntress was sleeping as if nothing happened.

Talon nodded at them and said "Sorry about the dragon, I know what it's like to lose something close to you. He was a machine but he was worth more than that to you I understand."

Leo nodded as Fecilia watched the fires in the area slowly die and she said "Thank you Asteron for carrying us."

The little blue dragon nodded on his brother's shoulder as Fecilia said "Where are we even?"

The half dragon folded his wings inside his back as he said "I don't know where we are, we crashed so suddenly that I couldn't keep track."

"We need to take these though," said Jason pointing at the two cages, "How will we carry the both of them?"

"I can probably carry one," said Talon "but then again-"

Suddenly, as Talon peeked in the cage, the bars were slammed by a wooden club and an angry voice said "Nobody's carrying me! Wanna dance buddy! Huh! Come at me!"

Talon took a step back as the angry satyr inside swung his club at the metal bars causing them to clang and make noise. Fecilia raised a brow as Leo and Jason snickered a bit at Coach Hedge's attempts.

"He must have been freed when we left Medea's place," said Piper,

The half breed then knocked on the bars and said "You aren't breaking them like that, step aside."

"Look cupcake," said Hedge, "I don't expect you to even-"

Hedge and the trio went silent as Talon gripped the two bars in front of him and pulled them apart wide enough for Coach Hedge to step out. Piper looked stunned as Leo said "What the hell…"

"Dragon physical strength," said Talon flexing his arms in a macho manner,

Fecilia rolled her eyes as Coach Hedge stepped out and she said "You arrogant bastard, make yourself useful and do the same for the spirit's cage."

"Why?" asked Jason, "how will we carry them then?"

Fecilia pulled off her pack as she pricked her pointer finger tip with a scalpel form her belt and smeared blood on the backpack's front into a weird looking symbol but the blood she smeared glowed white and faded away as she said "There we go, make yourself useful and open the cage Lizard Breath."

The half dragon bowed with a wink as he grinned devilishly saying "As you wish my lady,"

Fecilia rolled her eyes as Piper said "Is it me or do they keep flirting?"

"It's them," said Jason shaking his head, "I wonder what they plan to do though, they could accidentally release the spirits onto us."

"I'm sure she knows what she's doing," said Leo nervously,

Talon then let Asteron off his shoulder as he flew onto the sleeping Zoe's head and sat there. Talon then looked at Fecilia who nodded at him as he opened the bars causing talon to immediately back off as multitudes of storm spirits burst forth into the dark area only illuminated by the remaining little cinders of the forest fire.

"Whatever you plan to do Fecilia do it now!" said Jason,

"I got this Jack!" said Fecilia,

Jason was taken aback on what she called him but she just opened the bag and said "Incantare: καταιγίδα οντότητα φυλακών δεσμεύουν !(Storm Entity Prison Bind)"

The spirits howled as they were sucked into the bag that Fecilia steadily held and as they all were pulled in, she snapped it shut and held the bag by the strap and said "How's that sealing for ya?"

Talon grinned and said "I'm impressed; Allen taught you a thing or two?"

"All me," said the ice user, "I need a way to keep things in place."

She grinned as she put the red streak of hair she had behind her ear and tossed the bag to Jason saying "Think fast!"

He caught it and said "Fecilia I wanna know-"

"It'll hold them as long as you'd like," said Fecilia, "don't worry about it."

"Jack," said Jason, "You called me Jack."

Talon and Fecilia's faces then darkened as they looked away with sad expressions on their faces as if burying a bad memory. Piper then said "I was told that he was your brother."

"He's gone right?" asked Leo,

Talon put an arm around Fecilia who looked down as Asteron climbed onto her shoulder. The half breed nodded with his reptilian eyes as he said "Yeah, he's gone along with our sister Tadi."

Fecilia then looked at Jack and said "You look a lot like him, blonde, blue eyes and even the powers. It just gave some bitter memories."

"Can someone tell me what is going on here?" asked Hedge rudely, "I'm hungry and I have no idea what is going on."

Fecilia then said "Later, for now we better get some shade. Its dark and monsters form all over probably heard us so we better get some cover."

"Right," said Talon as he spread his wings and flew into the dark sky,

In a few hours, Talon had found a cave in the forest and led the group there where he had already set up a campfire. Inside the cave, Talon leaned on the wall sitting down as the fire before them crackled and Leo heard his owns stomach grumble as he said "Man, I'm hungry."

"Same here," said Talon, "If Percy was here we'd be having steak for days."

Fecilia rolled her eyes as she leaned on Talon's shoulder as she had her arms around his. Jason had the bag containing the spirits on the wall while Piper poked the fire with a stick as she said "Guys there's something I've got to say…"

"What is it Diva?" asked Talon, "You can tell us anything right now, it's kind of real talk time."

Taking her courage, Piper held her legs as she said "For the past few days, I've been having dreams about my dad captured by this big giant…he wanted me to betray you guys and make the quest fail…"

She expected them to be angry at her but Talon said "But you didn't right?"

She nodded and said "I could have been dooming my dad telling you this now…"

"Oh man," said Leo, "Piper why didn't you say anything?"

"Why didn't you?" said a new voice,

They turned to see Zoe sit up rubbing her head as Fecilia said "Zoe! Are you okay?"

"Fine," said the huntress, "Piper why didn't you say anything?"

"He threatened my dad," said Piper tearing up, "he could die…"

"This giant thing," said Fecilia, "What was his name?"

"Enceladus," said Piper,

Jason and Leo sat near her and gave her comfort as Jason hugged her and Leo gave her pats on the back. Fecilia sighed as Hedge said "Wow, big fire breathing giant from back then, nasty guy. I don't even think I could take him."

Jason looked her in the eye and said "Piper, we'll save both your dad and Hera."

"We won't let anything else happened Beauty Queen," said Leo smiling,

She wiped the tears out of her eyes and said "Thanks guys,"

"A Giant huh…" said Talon, "Sounds like a worthy adversary."

"Piper," said Fecilia, "My sister Tadi, she was in the same situation as you, forced to become a traitor but she took in her fear and fought back as you did. We'll save your dad but now we'll need to help you guys deliver these spirits to Aeolus."

"All that matters is that you didn't give in," said Talon, "Great now you're reminding me of my sister."

Fecilia punched his shoulder as he fake cried but then a rustling was heard from outside and Talon stood with his girlfriend. The rest followed as he said "I smell something, I smell monster."

"Same here cupcake," said Coach Hedge,

They stepped out of the cave in formation as wolves came out of the dark woods. A tall man with long shaggy hair came out in front with his fangs bared and his yellow eyes glowing in the night.

"Heroes," said the wolf man, "We have been hunting you for our mistress' orders and now we have found you."

Talon pointed at him and said "Lycaon, Lord of Lycanthropes. A powerful and immortal monster, immune to all weapons except silver."

"Informed are we half breed?" asked Lycaon, "I wonder how dragon meat will taste like?"

More and more wolves poured out from the woods as Zoe said "This doesn't look good,"

"Come at me fur ball!" said Hedge swinging his club,

Lycaon merely laughed as he got on all fours and turned into a large wolf about seven feet tall. It grinned and said "For weeks we've been searching and now the giant king will reward us when he rises."

The pack growled and snarled as Talon growled back and roared causing some to step back but Lycaon snarled and said "He is one drake! The rest are merely fodder! Attack!"

In a flash, Talon drew Blaze Bringer from the ground and slammed his lance down causing a surge of energy to explode and send the closest wolves flying in the air. He then growled as Fecilia said "Stay back! There's nothing we can do here! We have no silver weapons!"

"I don't," said Zoe, "but this bow gives divine energy something they are vulnerable to."

"Cover me Zoe!" said Talon as he spread his wings and his tail swung around.

Wolves then lunged at Talon who smashed them away with his massive lance. Any wolf that came close was either slammed away by Talon's lance or was knocked back by his tail and wings. One wolf came too close and Talon caught it by the throat and threw it back at the pack.

Rising a few feet in the air, Talon took in a deep breath and blew a powerful torrent of red flames which incinerated some wolves into powder. Zoe shot arrow after arrow at any wolf that came from

The half breed landed on the ground as he swung his lance around and sent more flying. Asteron was on Fecilia's shoulder as he couldn't turn into a large dragon in another few hours.

Just as Talon was jumped on his back, he grabbed the wolf by the neck and flung it back and he dodged another one pounce. Lycaon then slowly circled Talon as he was slowly getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of adversaries.

As Lycaon lunged, a silver arrow sank into his leg causing him to yelp in pain as a battle horn was heard and Zoe said "That horn! It's them!"

"Fire!" said a voice,

Silver arrows rained down, all of them hitting the lycans and turning them into dust. Talon got back as Lycan growled and said "Blasted Huntresses! Retreat!"

The wolves howled as they started running away yelping in pain and evading any arrows that came close. Talon put his lance on his shoulder as it vanished and he said "I didn't need any help…"

A female voice form the forest then said "Too bad half breed it looked like it."

Out of the darkness of the forest, a group of teenage girls in parkas with white falcons and white wolves by their sides stepped out. In front, two girls, one was a tall girl holding a bow with an arrow notched while another one was a black haired girl with a chain around her wrist and she wore a small tiara on her head.

"Sisters!" said Zoe happily,

The group approached Zoe and gave her a warm greeting while Fecilia smiled and said "Thalia, Phoebe, ladies thanks for the help."

"Anything for a friend," said Thalia shouldering her bow, "We've been patrolling this area for weeks hunting Lycaon down."

"He got away though," said Talon shrugging, "I wouldn't expect huntresses to know how to capture a major scale monster."

Phoebe and Thalia rolled their eyes at him while Fecilia said "Talon, are you asking to become a human pin cushion or a frozen icicle?"

"I'm weighing my options." said the half breed with a grin,

Thalia scoffed as she said "Where are you headed?"

"To Aeolus," said Fecilia, "we're helping these three since they've got a special quest."

"What is it?" asked Phoebe,

"To save Hera," said Talon crossing his arms, "The Queen got caught and now they need to know her location through Aeolus along with another location…"

"Location of what?" asked Leo,

"Where Piper's dad is of course," said Fecilia smiling,

"Care to introduce the trio?" asked Thalia looking at them,

Jason stepped up and said "She's Piper, daughter of Aphrodite, Leo Son of Hepheastus and I'm-"

Thalia ran towards him and gave him a hug saying "Jason! It's you!"

"What?!" said the group,

Hedge was chewing his cudgel as he said "Okay again I'm lost what cupcake's relation to her is out of my knowledge?"

"It's me Thalia!" said the huntress lieutenant gripping his shoulders, "your sister!"

Talon fell off his feet and said "But you look nothing alike!"

Fecilia kicked him as Jason hugged her back and said "Thalia…you're my sister!"

The two reunited siblings hugged as Thalia pulled away and said "You all must be hungry, Phoebe, set up camp for now. We'll eat then move out."

Jason 3rd Person POV- Written by Jake (expect Jake stuff)

After meeting his sister and having a meal with her, Jason couldn't feel happier. A gap in his mind had been filled by something familiar. Now, he was closer to figuring out who he was and now they were running down the forest led by the hunters to Aeolus' palace.

Zoe was catching up with some huntresses and she looked very happy with them. Piper, Leo, Jason, Fecilia and Talon had gotten a fresh change of clothes since the ones they wore were all dirty from the explosion.

As they ran, Hedge was chanting on his own and eventually, they came before a small bridge that would take them to a floating palace above a mountain. Talon looked up as Leo said "How have I never seen this before?"

"It's the mist," said Thalia, "My brother's girlfriend was a good manipulator of it."

Jason remembered that Jack was also Thalia's sister. He nodded and was remembering something that was gnawing on the back of his head. He couldn't seem to remember but he was so close to it.

For now he had to focus on his mission, Jason was told his mother was visited by Zeus twice resulting in him and Thalia. Now, they stood before the bridge as Fecilia said "We need to cross this thing?"

The winds were too wild and violent for Talon to fly across and Asteron his in his jacket due to the rude winds and Hedge said "Looks like fun! Girlie and I will go first!"

"Wait!" said Piper,

It was too late as Hedge lifted her and ran across the bridge with small leaps and when he got there, he dropped Piper and said "It wasn't too bad right cupcake?"

She crossed her arms and puffed her hair up as Leo said "Who's next?"

"We will," said Fecilia and Zoe,

They slowly made her way across as the wind got more violent and then the bridge looked like it was as thin as paper and Talon said "You three go ahead, I'll be last since I'm the heaviest."

Thalia, Leo and Jason nodded as all three went on the thin bridge at once. Leo was in front while Jason was in the middle and Thalia at the back. As they slowly got to walking, Jason said "Thalia, how did I you know…vanish."

"I remember it as if it was yesterday…" said Thalia,

She looked at the distance and said "Mom said she was taking us on a trip. I was skeptical since she never did that but I went along with it anyway. She took us in a car and drove us to a place called the Wolf House, she told me to get a basket in the car but when I found her, she told me Hera took you and you were as good as dead."

Jason froze at that and she said "I couldn't take it anymore so I ran away from home and I heard mom died a few months later."

"Wolf House…" said Jason, "That name…Thalia, Leo I think that's where Hera is."

"What!?" said Thalia, "The Wolf House! Why didn't you say anything!"

"Medea said they needed a powerful place for Hera's fall." Said Jason,

"And The Wolf House was owned by Jack London!" said Leo getting excited, "My dad told me in a dream the place was historic for beginnings."

"That means that Hera is there!" said Jason,

"What are we waiting for!" said Leo, "Now all we need to do is-"

"Leo!" said Talon, "The bridge!"

Leo saw himself smoking and the bridge was slowly melting from where he was. From where he stood the bridge started to collapse and then Thalia pushed Jason to Leo saying "We'll meet you at the Wolf House! Talon, Phoebe and I will meet you there! Save Piper's dad and then see us soon little brother!"

Fecilia called out and said "Talon!"

"Help them out Fecilia!" said Talon, "I got this end!"

Thalia ran to Talon as Jason and Leo barley made it off the bridge and then as they made it there. Leo shook his head and said "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"Leo!" said Jason, "Its fine…you made us realize something. All we need to do now is find out where to Wolf House and Enceladus is."

"We better get up there," said Zoe, "The storm is getting worse."

Allen 3rd Person POV- Written by Twista (expect fluff)

Sitting above the Cabin's Roof, two people were sitting by the edge looking at everyone who passed by. None paid attention to them as they were sitting together and they merely admired the setting sun skyline.

"Looks nice don't it Red?" said Riley,

"Admitted, it looks nice." Said the monocular teen,

The feeling of the event a few days ago still shook his head senseless but he still had to think about everything. Times like this, he treasured it since in a day, he had lost three important people to him. What's to say he won't lose another.

"Ya know Red," said Riley, "you never did choose a God to become your Patron."

"And you did?" asked Allen raising his brows,

"Of course I did," said Riley in her redneck accent, "Lady Nike said she would gladly accept me as her champion!"

"Goddess of Victory," said Allen, "She must be proud to have someone like you."

"I bet she is," said Riley, "I send most guys on their high tail out of any place!"

She leaned on him and said "Bout you Red? No choice yet? Even Prometheus said any God would want the Advisor of Olympus as a champion."

"Havent made up my mind," said Allen. "Sure Talon got Lord Kratos, Fecilia got Lady Khione and you'll have Lady Nike but I'm not sure yet."

"How so?" asked Riley,

"It's a matter of commitment," said Allen, "Being a champion is a promise Riley and I couldn't even keep my promises to you."

He held his hand over the eye patch and she then said "What's wrong? You didn't break any promises."

"I did," said Allen, "You made me promise not to fight Kraxus but I did anyway. Look where it got me…"

"You tried to protect Jack, Tadi and Ethan," said Riley, "I say that promise was worth breaking."

"Now look at me, I'm the Oracle," said Allen with a chuckle,

He bitterly laughed as he said "I'm supposed to look into the future and fate probably said that I needed only one eye to see what lies ahead."

"You still haven't forgiven yourself Red," said Riley holding his face,

Her brown hair was behind her ears as Allen said "I haven't and I don't plan to until my goal is reached."

"What is that?" asked Riley,

"To get stronger and protect everyone else I care about," said Allen with no hesitation,

"You're a good man Red," said Riley, "you may be one eyed and a bit rough on the edges but you're a good person."

"No I'm not," thought the teen, "I'm a damn liar…I don't want strength to protect…I want strength for vengeance. I want to kill him for what he did, gouge his eyes out, rip his throat off and break his fingers one by one…"

"Yes…" said the voice in his head, "my offer is still here my friend…do you want vengeance?"

He looked Riley in the eye and couldn't imagine losing her. It would push him too far to an end he wouldn't want to reach but he had to get stronger, getting any god as a patron wouldn't be enough. He needed more power than that.

"We can offer you power and more" said the voice, "My friend just consider what I have said, if he comes back, do you think you'll be ready as you?"

She smiled at him causing him to break from his thoughts and she said "You want to get stronger and I'll help you reach that goal. I'm here to help you anyway I can Red."

"Thanks Riley," said Allen,

"It nothing," said the brunette, "Remember that we're here for you, ye'r family."

"Exactly the thing I want to protect," said Allen mentally, "helping me will get you all in trouble…"

"Promise me this," said Riley, "You'll never lose what's really important to you."

"I promise," said Allen slowly,

She just laced her finger down from the eye patch to the bottom of his chin and she leaned in slowly. As they came closer for a kiss, a voice form below coughed and said "I'm sorry guys' hope we're not interrupting…"

"Chiron needs you for a mission," said Clarisse standing next to her boyfriend Chris,

"Me?" asked Riley,

"I don't know girl," said Clarisse, "Both of you maybe."

Riley got up as Allen did as well and she said "We better get down there."

She seemed a bit disappointed so Allen gave her a swift but sweet peck on the lips as the monocular teen nodded at her with a small smile. His palm burned a bit from the symbol he had but he contained it as the voice said "Be ready…"

Going to the Big House, Chiron stood on the outside as he said "Riley, Allen, glad you two are here."

"What is it Chiron?" asked Riley, "Need a hand?"

"Yes we do," said the Centaur, "I need you, Allen and Ara to investigate a mysterious activity in the New York Sewers where reports of fires sprouting from the sewers. I need you three to go and investigate."

"Speaking of the little princess where is Ara?" asked Riley,

"Over here!" said the black haired teen,

She was pulling someone by the hand with her and they looked closer to see Nico Di Angelo being dragged by Ara. Nico waved and said "Hey guys!"

"Nico," said Allen, "How has it been? How's your sister?"

"Bianca is fine," said Nico, "She stays in the Underworld often since Persephone loves her so much."

"Jealous much?" asked Ara,

"Hardly," said Nico, "She asked me if I wanted to turn into a daisy…"

Chiron nodded as he said "Ara are you clear with the quest I issued to you?"

"Clear!" said Ara,

"Why did you pull me here then!" said Nico yanking his hand off,

"To tell Chiron to keep an eye on you!" said Ara, "I swear when I let you go you vanish and don't appear for the next few weeks."

Riley gave Nico a nod and he grunted and said "Whatever Coral Queen! Fine I'll stay till you get back!"

"You're the best Death Breath!" said Ara giving him a quick hug,

The teen blushed a bit after that as Ara said "How are we heading to New York?"

"Chain can take us three," said Riley,

Allen clapped his hands together and said "Give me an hour then we're set to go."

As he walked away alone, he glanced to the right to see his reflection, bleeding from his eye, leaning on the tree giving him a mocking smile as it spoke "Made up your mind?"

Allen paid him no regard as he went to ready his things for the quest.
