Nico POV

I was training in the underworld when my dad flashed in, looking grim. "Son, I hate to ask you this, but the gods need you to go on a quest."

"Do I have to? I don't like listening to those windbags."

Hades chuckled. "Neither do i son. Neither do I. But yes you have to. You, Grover and Thalia are going to Alaska. You need to find Percy Jackson and his girlfriend and convince them to come help us."

At this Nico spun around. "What do you mean, find Percy? Where is he?"

Hades gave a weary sigh and took a seat. "It's a long story. But what happened is this. Hera called an emergency council. Then..."

Once the story was laid out for Nico, he sat back. "So you are saying that Percy Jackson, after being kidnapped and having his memories stolen and having his girlfriend murdered, and losing nine months of his life, doesn't want to help the gods? I don't blame him. Actually, I agree with him. There are very few gods that are helpful and that I respect. Hestia, Poseidon... You of course. If i had a choice I might actually join him."

"Nico, I know how you feel about this. But we need him. Please go find him and bring him back."

I heaved a sigh. "Fine. But don't expect me to be happy about it. Where do I go."

The lord of the underworld beamed. "I'll send you there. And son... I'm sorry for asking this of you." As he spoke, he flicked his wrist and Nico was engulfed by a shadow and disappeared.

Thalia POV

I was just finishing a hunt with my sisters when Artemis flashed in. As all the hunters bowed, she waved her hand in dismissal. "Thalia, I need to talk to you. Phoebe, your in charge. As she turned she beckoned me. I ran after her, and as soon as we were out of earshot she turned around. "Thalia, I need you to go on a quest to find Percy."

"Why, what has the stupid seaweed brain done this time?"

"He has withdrawn from the Olympians side in this war."

"Why would he do that?" Thalia queried.

"What do you know about the Romans?"

"I have heard rumors of Roman demigods, ones wearing purple.

"Correct. There is in fact a camp for roman demigods across the country. Hera thought it would be a great idea to kidnap perch, wipe his memory, and send him to the Romans to act as a bridge between the sides. She did this, might I add, without the permission of the Olynpian council. Well... There were a few complications."

After she finished explaining the whole story, Thalia exploded. "That bitch Hera! How dare she!"

"My reaction exactly. She may have doomed us all. So now you see why it so imperative that you find and bring Percy back."

"I'll do it. When do we leave?"

"Now." Artemis stated as she grabbed Thalia's shoulder and flashed her away.

Grover POV

I had just dismissed a meeting of the council of Cloven Elders. Then Dionysus showed up. "Gus, I need you to join a quest"

"For what, Mr. D?"

"We, as in the gods, need you to join a quest to find Percival Johansson. It seems my idiotic mother Hera-as he said this thunder rumbled overhead- has decided to make a plan with out the gods approval. You see, it was supposed to go like this..."

As soon as he was done I made my decision instantly. "I'm in. Where are the others?"

"If I had to guess Gustav, that Tania girl and Nickoli should be here in a moment."

As he finished speaking Thalia was flashed in and Nico was thrown out of a shadow- straight into a a pool of water. He helped as he fell in. "Dad!"

The rest found were busy laughing to hard to help him as he slowly slugged his way out onto land. "Stop laughing! It's not funny!"

The rest of us looked at each other then back to him. "Yes. Yes it is." we said as a group.

"Anyway, here you go." Mr.D snapped his fingers and three backpacks appeared. "This should contain what you need. I will transport you to the border of Alaska, but then you're on your own. Got it?"

"Got it"

He waved his hand and we slowly vanished, leaving the smell of grapes behind.

Thalia POV

"Well, I guess we're here." I said staring at the sign that said "You are now leaving Canada" and "Welcome to Alaska" I shifted the backpacks position on my shoulders. "Well, let's go. I need to go beat some sense into his head." Then we turned and crossed the border.

We were now beyond the help of the gods.
