Lincoln had stopped at the Newyork public library to do his research on slave lake out front thair was a man who looked to be in his 80s he had tan leathery skin and long white hair and a beard but was balding, he was wearing a pair of old beaten shorts and a rag that may have once been a tank top. Lincoln saw many people just walk past the man, Lincoln took out 100 bucks and dropped it into the wooden bowl the man looked up at lincoln.
"You should ask for Kendra, she'll help you best with what you're looking for," The man said, not looking up to meet Lincoln's gaze.
"Oh, thanks,"
Once inside he approached the desk and asked for Cassandra, a short red-headed girl who was reading a mathematics book.
"Hello young man can I assume you're on a quest," she asked.
"Uh yes how did you know," Lincoln asked.
"For one the sword on your hip and I can assume the old man told you to ask for me," She explained.
"Ya kinda obvious, are you a demigod too," Lincoln asked.
"Yes I am, now what are you here to research," she asked.
"I don't have much to go on just a name of a place slave lake," Lincoln explaind.
"Interesting you're the second person to ask about that in as many weeks, it's a small town in Alberta Canada that's near the great slave lake tenth largest lake in the world and the deepest lake in north America other than you're standard nature spirits Laistrygonian and Hyperborean Giant and Griffins you would find up north but that is also the territory of the Calydonian Boar," she explaind.
"Wow, you remember all that," Lincoln asked.
"Photographic memory do you have a map of Canada,"
Lincoln shook his head no
"I'll get you one with demigod safe houses marked on it," she said standing up whare Lincoln noticed that she only had one actual leg; her other was a contraption of bronze and wood.
"Oh, you noticed my leg made it myself with a little help from your mom," she smirked Lincoln following behind her.
"You know who I am," Lincoln asked, shocked.
"Of Course, I was a hunter for centuries till I lost my leg," She explained as they entered the back room.
Lincoln instantly regretted trusting this woman when he saw the girl step to the side with an arrow flying toward him. Lincoln reacted just in time to catch the first one but the second landed on his shoulder knocking him down the woman then grabbed a crossbow mounted on the wall and pointed it at Lincoln before she could fire Lincoln had drawn Asteria and levelled it at Cassandra.
"Look I don't want a fight So let's both put down our weapons and talk," Lincoln spoke surprising himself at how calm he was.
"Can't take the chance you'll replace Lady Artemis," she said pulling the trigger.
Lincoln barely dodged the bolt firing Asteria and hitting her dead in the chest causing her joints to lock up. Lincoln stood back up looking at Cassandra he took the arrow still in his shoulder as information filled his head on how to treat the wound, because of its position he knew he had to snap off the fletching and push it three he also knew it would hurt like hell. He did what he needed the pain burning but nearly as bad as when he was thrown from the car.
"That map you were talking about is real," he asked the paralyzed librarian.
"You going to kill me if I don't tell you,", she asked.
"Of course not from what I can tell you tried to kill me to protect someone you care about id does the same… but If you tell me the paralysis wares off in 30 minutes instead of 30 hours," he explained.
"Fine top drawer of the filing cabinet under A," she explaind.
Lincoln was surprised it was one of those promotional franchise maps that indicated major locations for the franchise ot was promoting this was for the Arrow inn. The main thing thay caught his eye is that each location is protected by Artamis herself and causing any trouble would incur the wrath of artamis herslf.
"Thanks for the help have a good day," Lincoln said pocketing the map and heading out noticing the old man from early was gone. Climbing on the bike he headed back onto the road.

Lincoln had been driving all day heading north he was an hour away from the US and Canada border he was going to camp the night and cross in the morning the map he had taken showed a special crossing for demigods to avoid customs but for now the sun was going down and he had been riding all day he didn't bother with a tent just taking out a bed roll and sleeping under the stars and his mothers' moon. It still felt wired but lincoln looked up to the moon rise.
"Beautiful isn't she," came a voice from the woods.
Turning he saw a golden-haired woman she looked to be in her twilight years despite her shining hair she was in a blue dress with bronze skin her eyes as blue as the sky.
"She is and I assume you're a goddess," Lincoln asked.
"Close Titaness," she smiled sitting next to him.
"What do I owe the pleasure," lincoln asked.
"Just wanted to meet my first grandson is thair anything wrong with that," She answered.
"Wait you're Leto," Lincoln said straitening up.
"Yes but you can call me Nana," the Titaness responded with a literal golden smile.
"Ok, Nana it's nice to meet you,"
They sat like that for a moment before lincoln spoke again.
"Can I ask you this prophecy what's it about,"
"I can't tell you much I never heard it dispute my sister being the one who foretold it all I know is the first two lines, the new moon will rise the old moon shall fall, I must admit it does sound like you take my daughter's place but I don't think that's what it means, and I know well not to make decisions based of a prophecy," she explaind.
"Thank you," was all lincoln could say turning to look back to the moon.
Leto was gone by the time lincoln looked back, lincoln fell asleep not long after.
