As the moon shone, it slowly changed into a coin that was floating in front of Travis. Behind him, covered in a hat, stood Luke. "Due west you say?"

Travis nodded. "And you're certain he had a boy with him?"

"Yeah."

"you're sure, and you're not lying?"

Travis nodded, "I'd cross my heart if I had one."

Travis smiled at Luke. Luke snapped his fingers, and the coin flew into Travis hand. Luke glared at him, "You better be telling the truth, you two-faced dog."

Travis spewed nonsense about getting one of those dogs, or anything Luke wanted. Luke looked at him, "What are the chances of getting a Wolf candle?"

Travis looked pained, "That one's slim, sire. I knew a girl once..."

He talked of his ladies man's ways, and kept going until Luke pointed a finger at his mouth and said, "Enough."

Travis looked confused as he started honking like a goose. Luke walked out of the store, leaving a very confused Travis behind.

Over a sunny lake, the ship is flying. A crew member is heard shouting, "Hold tight, the coach is at the helm."

Panic was visible on most of the crew's face. Nico and Percy stood at the helm, laughing. Coach maneuvered the ship, sending his crew going one way and the other. He managed to set them in the lake, dipping the bow and causing everyone to be soaked. Once they were on the water, Coach gave the wheel to Allison. She gladly took it and slumped on in, staring at Coach in fear. They soon got to a port. Coach, Percy and Nico soon disembarked. Coach wished them luck in their endeavors and gave Nico the barrel of lightning. Nico asked how they could ever thank him for his kindness. Coach peered at them, "Don't mention it. Seriously, don't mention it!"

Nico nodded. Percy smiled at him. Coach reminded them of his reputation. They nodded, and as they left, they heard the captain say, "Mind you don't wear that boy out too much, Captain Nico."

Nico waved, Percy rolled his eyes. The Coach went back to his ship.

Grover rolled his eyes at Coach.

Nico and Percy got to the top of the hill from where the boat had landed. Percy looked at Nico, having noticed that Coach had whispered in Nico's ear. "Nico, what did Coach say to you?"

"When?"

"When he whispered to you."

"Oh that, he was saying we should use the lightning to get you a Death candle."

Percy raised an eyebrow at Nico. He smiled, "Barter for it, you know?"

Back at Stoll's office, Ares glared at Travis. "Where is the boy?"

Travis couldn't speak, only honk.

"Where did he go?"

Travis looked scared, still unable to speak. Ares got angrier, "Are you mocking me, man?"

Travis shook his head. He tried to speak, but couldn't and frustrated Ares to the end of his rope. Ares plunged his sword into Travis stomach and left him there. HE and his men left and rode to the next stop.

Luke rode the carriage, and tried to fix his face with magic, unfortunately he failed due to the fact that if he used magic on his face, another body part would age. He groaned to himself. His ring chimed and he looked at it. Chris and Alabaster showed up and Chris glared at him.

"If you're quite finished squandering magic on your beauty, we have news brother."

"The star has returned." Alabaster looked at Luke. Luke peered at them, "I know, damn it. I couldn't reach the lake in time."

"No matter. We have found him. He is on the road to the village of Atlantis. If you take the shortcut through the marshes, you should be able to intercept him!"

Luke thought about it and nodded. He Adjusted the horses course.

On a road, Nico and Percy kept walking. They followed the road for a long time. At one point, Nico heard something and called, "Percy!"

HE pushed the other man into an opening on the side of the road. It looked like a small field covered by overhang. Nico had landed on top of Percy. Percy glared up at him, "Are you trying to break my leg again?"

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Percy. I just... I can't risk people seeing you, I don't trust anyone."

"But at this rate if we keep stopping..."

Nico silenced Percy with a finger, "Percy. We're making good time. Just leave it a minute."

Percy looked at Nico as he listened around them, and started to shine. HE looked at Nico with confusion. "Aren't you tempted?"

"Tempted? By what?" Nico asked as his face got closer to Percy. They were close to kissing when Percy turned his head and spoke, "Immortality. Let's say it wasn't my heart. Not me. Just a star you didn't know."

Nico looked at him in disbelief, "Percy, you seriously think I could kill anyone? ME?"

Percy laughed,

"Even if I could, Everlasting life? I would imagine it would be kind of lonely." Nico looked closer at Percy.

"Well, maybe if you had someone to share it with, someone you love."

Percy face turned slightly pained, and his shine disappeared.

"Come on, I think we're safe." Nico said, and got up, then pulled Percy up. They started walking again.

Ares and his men rushed for the dock where Coach's ship was docked. Ares reminded everyone of Coach's reputation. Narrator and Author both roll their eyes.

Coach is putting on some music, We see a tattoo on his arm and he had a painted heart on his cheek. He is wearing white ladies underwear. (Author shudders, Narrator is drooling)

Coach sang and danced to a song that says Creole lady marmalade.. Author has eyebrows raised to hairline.

Outside, Ares and his men have boarded the ship, Ares glaring at Coach's crew as he walked to the door that separates Coach's cabin from the rest of the ship. HE went in, with sword drawn. Once he was inside, Grover bowed to Ares' men, and when they bowed back, The crew attacked them, killing all.

Inside, Ares walked around, looking for Coach. When he found him, he saw the getup and his eyes widened. Soon, Coach saw him through the mirror and turned around.

Ares stared at him, "What the hell is this?"

"What are you doing here?"

"My name is Prince Ares. And you are going to tell me where I can find the boy."

Coach raised an eyebrow at him. After a fight, Coach was laid on his desk, blood dripping out of his nose. Ares glared down at him, "Alright, Twinkle toes, you are going to tell me where I can find the boy."

Coach kept his mouth shut, soon the both heard the crew break in. The crew moved closer, knives drawn. Ares knew he couldn't take them all on, so he jumped out the window into the water below.

"You know, you short of glitter sometimes. I just noticed it, is it normal?" Nico asked.

Let's see if you can work it out for yourself, Nico. What do stars do?"

Nico smirked, "Attract trouble?"

Percy rolled his eyes and pushed Nico. Nico caught his footing and held up his hands, "Alright, alright, I'm sorry."

He smirked at Percy, and they soon reached a marker that said, Atlantis Village 60 miles. Nico looked at Percy, "Do they know how to annoy a boy called Nico?"

Both laughed as they came upon the marker and saw it. The smiles dropped as they saw how far they had to go.
