Scene changes to the Palace of Aeolus.

"Wow I love the music." said Leo.

"It reminds me of the stream near the Huntresses of Artemis camp." said Thalia.

"Same!" said Reyna.

Great wind god, Aeolus

"Oh, Aeolus." said Percy.

"Is he just another Wind God?" asked Jason.

"He's the Keeper of the Winds." said Annabeth.
I don't know if you know this
But our path to home is blocked by an impenetrable storm
I ask for your assistance
So we at last can go the distance
Can you cast the perfect winds for us and aid our journey home?

"Big request." said Leo.

"He's probably deciding whether to have fun and create a game or something." said Frank.

"Let's not make fun of him yet, I don't know him that well but he could be nice." said Percy.

"Name one God that has actually been nice to us." said Piper.

"Hestia." said Percy.

"Fair enough." said Annabeth.

"Loved her." said Grover.

Aeolus appears and floats around in the air.

Ha, ha, ha
I am the wind, twisting and turning

"Sorry but that voice is elegant." said Hazel.

"Like a tune to my ears, Dad should be jealous." said Will.

"Well the real Aeolus looked sixty. I believe he's about to fade." said Percy.
I give the fire enough to stay burning
Let's play a game

"Called it." said Frank.

A game?

That's what I'm serving
And if you win, you will get what you're yearning

"That actually sounds like a good deal." said Annabeth.

"But I'm sure he's going to find a way to make it fun for him." said Thalia.

Deal

"At least he gets a choice." pointed out Jason. "That's good."

"True, most don't get that opportunity." said Leo.

Take a look right here at this bag

Aeolus passes him a bag
It has the winds of the storm all trapped

"That should not be entrusted into anyone's hands." said Hazel.

"That stuff is dangerous." said Percy.

"Not even I would trust myself with carrying a full on storm right in the palm of my hands and my Dad's Jupiter! God of the skies!" said Jason.

All you gotta do is not open this bag

"Sounds easy though." said Will.

"I agree, this might be an easy task." said Frank.

Sounds too easy, what's the catch?

"Oh there had to be one!" said Reyna.

"Should've seen it coming!" said Hazel.

"Ugh." said Nico.

Ha, ha, ha
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

Winions fly around Aeolus.
Never really know who you can trust
If they wanna get the bag open, you gotta say "No, sir"
Sometimes killing is a must

What?

They all thought the same thing. How could those adorable little things be so dark and evil and think about something like death?

'Cause the end always justifies the means
Friends turn into foes and rivalries

"I think she's talking about Eurylochus." said Hazel.

"Same! I never trusted him that much."

"This could also be a trick in order to test their bond." said Leo.

"Why do you dislike Aeolus?" asked Jason.

"I just have PTSD from new Gods."

"Don't we all?" asked Piper.

They all laughed.
So keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust (never really know who you can trust)

"I think this is more of a team building exercise

Odysseus goes back to his crew on the boats

Captain, what's happening?

What's trapped in that bag?

Something dangerous, friends
We mustn't lie

Winions arrive.

It's treasure

"Oh Gods." said Clarisse.

"They were waiting for him to return to his crew." said Jason.

"See?!" shouted Leo.

What?
Buh-bye

Winions leave.

Open the bag

Let's see what you got

No, do not!

"That's the first time I've heard him shout before." said Frank.

"Well there was the one time in 'My Goodbye'..." said Clarisse slowly.

They quickly resumed playing to avoid seeing Annabeth cry which no one liked.
Everybody listen closely
See how this bag is closed?
That's how it's supposed to be
This bag has the storm inside
We cannot let the treasure rumour fly

We'll try

"The way they did say 'We'll try' and not 'Yes, sir' is quite concerning." said Nico.

"I agree," said Reyna. "They've done it for every order Odysseus has given and not for this one."

"They're going to open the bag, aren't they?" asked Piper.

"Let's see." said Jason.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust
Now they wanna get the bag open so they can have closure

"Aeolus wants them to open the bag." said Leo.

"He didn't in the Odyssey but then again, this is a whole other alternative universe, anything could be different." said Annabeth.

"I'm quite sure it's just a test and one in which I believe they will fail." said Clarisse.

Sometimes sneaking is a must
Sometimes sneaking is a must

They get ready to steal the bag from Odysseus.

"They definitely are." said Frank.

"Yeah." they all agreed.
'Cause the end always justifies the means

"This is actually a very popular saying in philosophy. It means that you do whatever it takes to get to your goal no matter what the price is." said Annabeth.

"Interesting." said Jason.

"Boring." said Leo. "Is your mother the Goddess of philosophy or something?"

"She is." said Annabeth.

"Of course she is."

Leo unpaused the screen and Annabeth smiled knowing that she won the argument.
Everything's changed since Polites, so

"It's quite true to be honest." said Percy. "His character has emotionally changed."

"That will happen when you lose your best friend." said Grover.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust (never really know who you can trust)

For nine days, I've stayed wide awake

"NINE DAYS?!" said Will. "That's crazy! Imagine his health after all of those days?!"

Trying to make it home with no storm or tidal wave

I remain unopposed, the bag is still closed
And I'm getting closer to you

Odysseus falls asleep.

"No he's falling asleep..." said Piper.

"Wake him up!" said Leo.

"Don't! He needs this rest or else he will go mad or crazy." said Will. "A lack of sleep is harmful to you mentally and physically."

Penelope

Penelope comes into his dreams

I can't wait to make some new memories

Telemachus

Baby Telemachus comes into his dreams

Time for me to be the father I never was

"It's true, he missed so much of his child's life. He'd be around ten now." said Nico. "He's close to the end of his childhood."

Just keep your eyes open

They all muttered to themselves, hoping that Odysseus wakes up (except Will). He's too close to his home just a bit longer.

Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?

Odysseus loses his grip onto the bag

Just keep your eyes open

"I've just realised, how are they in his dream?" asked Frank.

"Perhaps Morpheus could have had something to do with it." said Nico. "He's the God of dreams."

"Sorry, what's his Roman counterpart?" asked Reyna.

"Somnia." replied Nico.

"Okay."

"I hate that God," muttered Grover. "Put me to sleep for two months."

"Better than losing your memory for six months." said Percy and Jason.

I keep on trying to embrace you both
Why won't you let me?

Just keep your eyes open

"It's sad that we can only hear Penelope's voice and not Telemachus's." said Piper.

"It's because he doesn't even know what he sounds like." said Will.

"It's still sad."

So much has changed but I'm the same
Yes I'm the same

Just keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Wake up
Wake up, Odysseus, they're opening the bag
Wake up!

Odysseus wakes up.

Odysseus sees his crew opening the bag.

No

Aeolus emerges from the bag as the storm arises.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

Everyone was in shock. From what was such a peaceful voice at the beginning like a calm breeze changed into a dark and like a hurricane in just a couple of minutes.
Never really know who you can trust (never really know who you can trust)
Storm
Full speed ahead

Where's the storm taking us?

I said to keep the bag closed, but you were incompliant
If I had to guess? You're heading to the

Land of the giants

"Giants..." muttered Leo.

"I hate those things." agreed Jason.

"No, it's a misconception. They're called Laistrygonians." said Annabeth.

"I still hate them." said Frank.

Storm, storm

Help me close the bag

But sir, it's too late

We can save whatever wind is left to use another day
Come on

"He's making a good deal of his resources." said Thalia.

The winds carry the boats to an island.

A man holding a trident emerges from the ocean.

Odysseus of Ithaca
Do you know who I am?

Everyone immediately knew who it was and glared at Percy.

"It's your turn now." smirked Annabeth.
