"We need to go to Thessaly," Jason started in a panicked manner once we all managed to sit down at Thoth's little table he set out for us.

"Yes we do," Percy grumbled to the thought.

"Why is that?" Alyssa asked.

Annabeth sighed out of distress, "The giants plan to attack Mount Olympus, and we're talking the original Mount Olympus, not the Empire State Building."

"The what now?" Walt managed as we froze to the thought.

"Uh, suppose we should catch you up on our side," Frank started. "You see, our Gods are migrators. They go where belief is. Currently, the most belief is in New York, so the Empire State Building is the current 'Mount Olympus'."

"And we didn't know about it this whole time?" My eyes got rather large to the thought that such strange beings were literally a Freak-travel away from Brooklyn House.

"Eh, it's not a big deal honestly," Percy shrugged off, earning a growl from Annabeth. "Anyways, what did you guys manage to pick up?"

I sighed and faced Walt, who nodded. "Not much, except it has something to do with the past."

"And who would let people call her a 'Jazzy Hippo'," I added, still feeling odd about it.

Annabeth perked up to Walt, but Percy and Jason gave me weird looks. "Jazzy Hippo?" Jason wondered.

"Don't get distracted boys," Annabeth scorned. "Did you catch what exactly?" She asked Walt.

"The downfall of Egypt," I summed up for her.

My fellow magicians froze in response. "Uh, it's not going to happen again, is it?" Felix worried.

"Don't know," Walt started sourly. "We're not sure if Amos was looking into it for survival sake of the Per Ankh, or if he actually came upon something worthwhile to help everyone involved."

"I'd say worthwhile," Hazel piped up. "Why would Gaia be panicky towards him finding an escape route for a subcategory of humans?"

"Damn, we should have asked Cleopatra some questions!" Walt realized.

"You mean Cleo?" Alyssa asked.

"No, the real deal," I confirmed as I took in our stupidity. "She would know way more than Caroline."

"I think we are kind of out of time for you guys to be making another trip," Julian added. "So what did Carl say?"

"It's Caroline Smith, and she is a former healer of the Twenty-first Nome," I corrected. "And she said something about Cleopatra stopping a threat to Egypt rather than killing herself and sinking Alexandria. Amos makes it sound like it could very well be Gaia she was stopping."

Silence at the table, magicians and demigods exchanging grim looks. "So, sounds like we part ways," Percy started.

"No," I spoke with certainty, "Amos wanted us to keep beside you. I promised to keep peace. I'm not about to go back on my word just because a threat comes walking up to our front door. This is the right thing to do, whatever Cleopatra did is cowardly."

"Uh, we don't know for sure what she did-" Walt reminded.

"She didn't look for help with the Greeks," I defended my stand.

"I think they were Roman," Alyssa corrected.

"Oh, whatever," I sighed out of agitation.

"I feel you there," Percy supported, "just go with whatever the smart guys say."

Annabeth smacked him on the back of the head. "Well, we will gladly let you accompany us if that is what you desire," Annabeth finalized.
