Nothing to talk about, except I FORGOT TO DO FULL PERCY CHAPTER! I HINTED IT IN FRANKS CHAPTER AND THAT WAS IT. DAM. IT. Sorry, kiddos. I will get on it. Hestia now.

Have a great weekend.

Hestia crouched silently by the fire. She shivered even when it warmed her. She closed her fiery eyes and hugged herself. Something bad was coming. And soon.

Just that second, the nice Hades son came and squatted by her. His dark jacket swished gently around the ashes of fires before.

"Hey, Hestia." He murmured. She raised her auburn head to his.

"Nico. How are you?" he nodded, smiling faintly.

"Good. I've got a boyfriend now. He's awesome." Hestia figured he was pretty awesome if he made Nico smiling by just thinking about him.

"I'm glad." She said softly, she drew lines and squiggles in the ash.

"Have you heard of the Ice Bucket Challenge?" he asked suddenly. There it was. She knew he'd come for something.

"I've heard it mentioned, by the gods and parts of camper's conversations." She confided. He nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, you've been nominated. By Athena." He told her. Hestia remembered the slightly aloof goddess. They were friends, before Dionysus came and unsettled everything.

"Oh." She whispered.

"You don't have to do it." Nico hurriedly amended, "It's a optional thing. Most people do choose to do it, but a few other gods have refused. We were-"she held up a hand.

"Its okay, Nico. You can go and tell your friends I said yes." Nico glanced over his shoulder and saw what the eight-year-old goddess saw: Will and Travis standing by the Apollo cabin, looking intently in their direction.

"Oh… um… Thank you. M'lady. We can get you the supplies and… stuff."

Hestia smiled. "I'm not going anywhere. Anytime that fits you."

Nico smiled, one of those increasingly common smiles. "Great. See you." And he got up, his now grey hemmed jacket shedding ash and soot. He ran to his boyfriend and friend.

Hestia only smiled knowingly after him…

XXXxxxXXX

"Right, so you just tip it over yourself and-"Hestia looked at him.

"Nico. I know how to do a Ice Bucket Challenge." Nico flushed and apologized.

"Sorry, m'lady."

Hestia smiled and waved him off.

"Just start the camera and I'll do it." She laughed slightly. She may be seen as one of the more behind-with-the-times gods but she did know some things.

Nico nodded and motioned at Will, who hit a button and the red light started blinking.

He nodded to her and she nodded back.

"I am Hestia, the hearth goddess. Thank you Athena for nominating me. I shall not nominate anyone. Thank you Nico, Will and Travis for stealing this camera."

She smiled hesitantly and gripped the bucket. Her skinny eight-year-old arms strained as she tried to lift it. When Nico stepped forward, she glared at him, her eyes flashing black. He stumbled back. Having a eight-year-old with fire for eyes angry at you is, to be honest, freaking terrifying.

She managed to lift it and twisted it above her head. Water cascaded down, catching the light and smoothing down her hair. Her ragged clothes were soaked, and, as the water dripped off them, were left a lot cleaner, built up ash and soot finally been washed off.

She kept her eyes closed, even after she rubbed them. She tilted her head up at Nico, who had cut the camera and frowned slightly.

"Water douses fire." She said, slowly and measurably. Nico frowned,

"Wha- oh…"

Hestia had fire for eyes and she had just shoved a whole bucket of water over her head.

Nico sighed and turned to Will, resignedly.

"Get Leo."
