I would like to give a warning before you read this. This is not a revised copy of a chapter. This acts more as a setting of the stage and circumstances that will be played out next chapter.

P.O.V Piper

It had been about a year and three months since Leo had disappeared. They had to stop sending out search parties because it had become a "waste of resources". Oh, how she hated those words. Leo had left with little notice and nothing seemed different. He left a note saying that he would see them again but he wanted something different and that he didn't belong there. She might have thought that this may have to do with some girl that he didn't bring home. He said that he fulfilled his promise but that things didn't work out. She of coarse didn't know what this meant but decided not to press it.

It had been different for all of them (the seven) since he had left. The holidays, fights, and battles they had felt more serious and strenuous. Although the thing she missed the most was the smile that she could see daily. Really, it wasn't the fact that she didn't see the smile but that she couldn't see it if she wanted to.

She would stare into her knife hoping to see something but not once did she see the young fire wielder. She thought that maybe the gods would answer them but they would not say his location. She knew that the forge god was defiantly keeping his son's location hidden from the rest of the demigods.

He looked mainly by the riverside because that is where they had picked up a trace of him using a lot of machine type things. He didn't know the details but he wasn't going to doubt results of any kind. The place was amazing and looked like a great place to hang out with friends or go on a date. It was a long river in the middle of the city but very quiet. The river has sidewalks right next to the water. The sidewalks were only a few inches above the water. There were restaurants lining the river with many different food choices. He decided to go back to the rest of the group who was walking along the sidewalks trying to look normal but obviously looking about.

He landed beside the rest of the six. Percy had been talking with the few fish in the river. He said that they don't recognize faces of people anymore with the popularity of the spot. They spotted a few TexMex places along and decided to look in a few. When they entered one called "El Melocoton" heard some thing that shook them.

"Leo. Cheers to another day of good work and to many more between us." said a voice.

"You my friend that I would travel to hades and back. Friends like us have nothing to worry about…
