Chapter 2:

Hawk sighed as he landed on a tree nearby. He, along with the other gods, had been scouring the globe, trying to find any sort of hint left behind by the clone. They had split the world into sections, allocating each god in a different section.

Most of the Chinese were set in Asia, since it was their home. The Japanese gods were set on the different islands, including Japan. They were searching Australia, Greenland and Antarctica (the latter was only Yuki-Onna searching the continent, due to the frigid temperatures). The Americans were searching throughout North and South America.

Hawk sighed again, changing back into a human as he pushed his hair back. Asia had been split amongst the 14 Chinese gods. There were four gods in Africa, five in Europe, and the remaining five in Asia. Hawk was covering Southeast Asia, and was now at the border of Malaysia. He looked over the ocean, exhaling, then turned into a hawk to fly away.

He flew across the vast ocean, enjoying the breeze through his wings. He soon came to the small yet rich country, landing on a nearby tree in the forest. He looked around, his eyes sharp as he spotted several soldiers training, blending in with their background. If he was human, he would've chuckled as he saw one of them accidentally drop his magazine.

Seeing the supervisor walking past, Hawk quickly swooped down and become invisible. He snatched the magazine up, which also became invisible. He tossed it to the soldier's side, who, although surprised, grabbed it and quickly put it back. The soldier returned to his task, and heaved a sigh of relief as the supervisor marched by.

Closing his eyes temporarily, he thanked God.

Meanwhile, on his perch, Hawk watched this with amusement at how the mortals had twisted the tale of the Chinese gods so much. He knew, from what Lëi had told him, that all the tales of him as a protector had changed, and Lëi was now the one that people knew as 'God'.

He, however, was still known as a son of God, but was known as Jesus, the son of 'God', and was more forgiving than his father. Which, he considered, he was. Sensing nothing, Hawk took off once more, scanning the island, before he landed on another tree in a lush forest in Singapore.

He smirked to himself as he flew off once more, stopping abruptly as an arrow came by him, missing him by inches. He looked at the arrow carefully, frowning, as he flew to the source, seeing a dark wolf prowl around. The wolf narrowed its eyes at him before bounding away.

His eyes also narrowed, Hawk followed the wolf to where it was going. The wolf stopped at a clearing, where a man sat, his grey hair having been slashed around to his neck. His eyes were closed, but he frowned as Hawk came into view. His eyes snapped open, barely catching sight of the Chinese god before he vanished.

"You found him?" Yuki-Onna asked eagerly. Hawk nodded at her enthusiasm, looking at the other gods, who were looking doubtful.

"He was in a forest in Singapore. He had a wolf with him."

This caught their attention. "A wolf? In Singapore?" Eagle asked incredulously. "You have got to be joking." Hawk shook his head, crossing his arms.

"Fine. If you want to die, don't blame me."

Lëi frowned. "Hawk." His voice was reproachful, until Hawk sighed.

"I'll get a group of demigods and bring them with me. We'll go find him, convince him, and come back."

Percy sighed. "Somehow, you make it sound easier than it actually is." Hawk shrugged. His amber eyes swept the demigods assembled, trying to choose which one to pick that won't provoke Lin Chung easily. He didn't doubt Lin Chung's growing ability to control his temper, but he still didn't want any dead demigods.

"Percy. Nico. Grover." The three stepped forward. "We'll find him and bring him back by the next attack."

Lëi nodded. "I know you will."

With that, the group vanished.

Lin Chung looked at Alpha, who was lying nearby with his ears pricked. He had seemed like that ever since Hawk had come across them. The clone frowned. They had found him, most probably for something that only now did they realise that they couldn't solve.

His eyes hardened. Were the gods so arrogant that they thought that they could easily persuade him to fight for them, just because he was fighting for the mighty and legendary gods?

Grover looked around in awe at the lush green forest. A gentle breeze carried relief to the quartet, especially in the tropical climate, where the sun beat down relentlessly on them. Only some rays reached them, even in the dense forest. The forest itself was amazing. Trees sprouted out as far as the eye could see, and plants grew near the roots of the trees, filling the air with a beautiful scent.

Different insects crawled over the leaves and plants while several birds flying around them, chirping. Percy laughed slightly. "This is so different." Nico nodded, squinting at the bright light. In the Underworld, it was quiet, dark and dreary, and everything there was there was either dead or black.

Grover suddenly froze, and they turned to him. "Grover?"

"Wolf." It wasn't a question. Hawk shrugged, not looking the least bit worried.

"Must be Lin Chung's."

Nico looked incredulous. "Lin Chung has a wolf?" Hawk nodded.

"I saw it return to Lin Chung when it spotted me. I followed it until Lin Chung forced me away."

They nodded, following him as he began to confidently lead them through the maze of the maze of the forest. He walked through any plants that appeared in his path, and, to their surprise, so did the three. They wandered around for some time, until the trio was sweating under the harsh summer's sun.

Hawk continued leading the way, before he stopped somewhere where the tree thinned out a bit to revel a clearing in the middle, where there was a large patch of sunlight shining there.

A lone figure leant against the tree, his dark eyes focused on the group, who was watching him anxiously. The wolf padded up to Lin Chung, growling menacingly and staying close to his master. Lin Chung watched the group as they came forward.

"I know why you are here." His voice was cold.

Percy looked at him pleadingly. "Please, Lin Chung. We need your help." Lin Chung's composure stiffened as he glared at them.

"I helped you last time. What happened? I helped you twice, and you betrayed me twice! Why should I ever help you?" Percy flinched at his tone, but Hawk stayed firm. "Get out!" The group could feel themselves being pushed away, before Hawk spoke up.

"It's about your brothers!" Lin Chung froze, and, for a few seconds, Percy swore that he wasn't breathing. The clone eventually reacted, though his voice was still icy.

"What about my brothers?"

Nico saw the hesitation and took the chance. "They attacked camp a week ago." Lin Chung didn't turn around.

"They wouldn't. I know them."

Hawk sighed. "No, they were your brothers, but they are under the influence of Twin Masters."

"No," Lin Chung frowned. "Even if most of them are under Twin Masters' influence, Zhi should be able to resist it." Hawk nodded.

"That's what I thought, but all five of them attacked us. All of them. Twin Masters must either be using someone else to control Zhi, since he doesn't have enough power to sustain his control over the five of them, or he has blackmailed him. For some reason, I think it is the former."

"Why?" Lin Chung demanded, finally turning around.

"I don't know. The way that they all attacked mercilessly, without regret…I think they meant to kill us, leading to the theory that they are under control." Lin Chung didn't move.

"Either way, you are alone."

"What?" Percy frowned. "You would abandon your brothers?"

Lin Chung shook his head. "I wouldn't abandon them. But I do not care about your camp." Hawk frowned, seeing no changing his mind. He gestured to the others, who followed him as they disappeared, reappearing in camp.

And it was in chaos.
