Hahaha, you guys seriously crack me up with your reviews. I actually laughed when I read it, hahahaha. Thanks for the supports!

The first thing that I thought after I woke up is how amazing this place is.

The forest seems completely different in the morning. Tall trees are lining up from one end to another. The sight becomes more vivid. We're on a hill, even though I don't know still where exactly we are. The birds are chirping quietly, you have to be very quiet to listen to them.

It's so peaceful here; even the blue sky above looks calm. White clouds forming and covering half of the sky.

The air here is so fresh, it's entirely different from Manhattan. It smells like something fresh, plants fresh. I can smell the different flowers

Down the hill is a wide green field with a single white building on the far end of it.

I smile and I sprint right down the hill, Calypso follows me from behind. The thoughts of warm food and warm bed comfort me; I suppose it comforts Calypso as well.

We reach the white building, it seems quite normal. The building is two floors, completely painted in white. The doors are all made out of glass, so far as I can see. The green field leads to the second floor though, there's a stair leading downstairs.

The inside of the second floor is full of tables and chairs. There's also a small bar inside, and some of the people inside are dressed in uniforms.

I smile; it's a restaurant.

I slide the door open and then sit at the table near the door that we entered from. Calypso sits right next to me.

A waitress approaches us quickly; she's a bit old, around forty years old. She's wearing a long yellow skirt and a yellow uniform. She gives us the menu and then she waits there.

I open the menu, and the language written there isn't English. Well, it isn't only English. It is written mainly in a foreign language, German I think, with English words under it.

Oh great, I don't have German money, how are we going to pay for this.

'You two Americans?' The waitress asks.

I pause for a bit, and then I smile and nod.

The waitress smiles back, 'What will you two be having?'

I gulp, 'Do you accept American dollars?'

The waitress's smile fades; she shoots me a disbelief look. I want to say that they don't accept dollars here.

Before the waitress or I able to say anything, an Asian man grabs the waitress's shoulder. 'They'll have two roasted chickens, and bring us a pitcher of light coke.' The Asian man says it with perfectly fluent English.

The waitress smiles again and writes it down on her notepad. She leaves us, and then the man turns to us.

It's an Asian man in his mid-twenty, around 5'11" tall. He's wearing a black leather jacket with black t-shirt and a blue long jeans. He's wearing shades and has long dark hair, tied up to the back.

He sits down across the table from us, he smiles.

He takes of his shades, revealing a pair of familiar eyes. His eyes are completely covered in darkness, exactly like Nyx. It's as if that no light can ever penetrate that darkness in his eyes.

'No thank you?' The man smiles, he gives off an uneasy feeling.

No doubt about it, he's a primordial god.

'Depends. Are you going to enroll us into another one of your sick games?' I glare at him.

The man looks amused, 'It's true what Nyx said about you. You really are quite the daredevil.'

'What… are you..?' Calypso looks positively white; she looks scared out of her mind.

The man turns to Calypso, he smiles, 'You must be the lovely Calypso.' He takes a good look at her, checking her out, 'You are absolutely gorgeous. It's a wonder how Aphrodite hasn't smote you down because of your beauty already.'

Calypso doesn't reply, she's trembling and then she looks down.

The man looks a bit confused, but then he smiles, 'That's right, you're a titaness. You can see my true form.'

'What do you want?' I blurt it out.

The man looks at me, 'You're duller than I thought you would be, all serious like that. You should learn to enjoy the little things in life, or you'll never get out of it alive.'

A waitress brings our food and puts it in the table.

The man smiles again, 'Like this chicken for example. You should enjoy it. Who knows –' The man leans forward and grins, 'It might be your last.'

'We'll enjoy it once you leave us alone.' I smile sarcastically.

'Aw… Percy, so grumpy this early in the morning.' A girl suddenly appears behind the Asian man, Nyx.

Nyx is still using the same form that I saw last time, a seventeen years old girl with pitch black eyes. She's wearing a black jacket with black tight t-shirt, black leggings, and black high heels. Never thought that the primordial gods wear clothes according to their personas.

Nyx holds the Asian man's shoulder. 'I see you all met my husband.' Nyx smiles.

'Husband..?' I look at them with disbelief.

The Asian man shrugs, 'Erebus, The Primeval Darkness. It's nice to meet you.' Erebus grins.

'What's with the Asian getup then?'

'I'm glad you ask.' He smiles. 'Recently, I found Japanese people to be very interesting. They were so powerful back then, even the Americans find them very persistent and hard to kill. Even their samurais fascinate me. Besides, none of the other gods is getting an Asian form. It makes me special, don't you think?'

Nyx sits right beside Erebus, and then she gives him a light smooch.

'I think I'm going to puke.' I say.

Nyx turns to me, she giggles. 'Always so grumpy, aren't you Percy?'

Nyx observes Calypso. As if a jolt of lightning strikes Calypso, she's startled and starts trembling again.

'Aren't you cute? All scared like that.' Nyx giggles. 'Don't worry. We won't hurt you.'

I place my hand between them, 'What do you two want?'

'Alright, to business then.' Erebus's smile fades. 'Your next destination is Milan. Someone, well, I hardly think a primordial god is still considered someone; but someone is waiting for you there.'

I pause, 'And who wants to see me?'

Erebus smiles, 'You'll find out if you go there.'

'I don't have a choice do I?' I grunt. 'Where are we anyway?'

'You don't travel much, do you Percy? We're in Black Forest, German.' Nyx says.

That's what you want to hear, to be thousands of miles away from your home. Somehow, I'm not even surprised anymore. These primordial gods are crazy beings.

'You should have no problem reaching Milan then.' Erebus smiles. 'There's also another thing that we need to tell you.'

We all know where this is going. For once I would like to just receive one bad news instead of hearing two.

'There's a war coming, Percy.' Nyx says.

I look at her, confused, 'A war..? Between who?'

Erebus grins, 'Although you slayed the Kraken, the progress of your journey has been quite slow. We're a bit bored waiting for you and your companions to do something interesting. So Gaia has set up her own private army.'

I don't like where this is going, 'Cut to the chase. Who are they marching against..?'

'Who else, silly? They're going to war against your camp. Your friends back in the camp would be fighting Gaia's little babies.' Nyx says gleefully.

'You can't do that! That's not the agreement!' I react quickly.

Erebus smirks, 'Agreement? Did the centaur not tell you? Camp half-blood is part of the game.' Erebus smiles wickedly, 'You all are, a part of this game.'

I clench my fists and my teeth. They're all the same; self-centered with high ego, thinking that they can do whatever they can.

Erebus smiles innocently, 'Your food is getting cold.'
