Chapter 17

Jason POV

I wasn't sure what to make of the two people in front of me. Even though they wore cloaks the boy visible tensed when he saw Nico. Based on his posture I would've guessed they'd met at some point. The girl kept glancing at Nico and I think Reyna noticed it too because she grabbed his hand as if to say 'he's taken so back off'.

The only noticeable reaction from the girl was the small smile she gave which confused me. "Everyone link hands and she'll take us to camp." the boy said. We did as he asked and I couldn't help but notice the faint blush that appeared on the part of his face that I could see as he grabbed the girls hand.

The girl pulled out a small necklace which emitted a binding silverlight and I felt myself moving. I had shadow traveled before with Nico and in truth this was kinda similar but unlike shadow travel it wasn't cold. It was actually kind of warm and definitely a lot rougher like we were on roller coaster. When the spinning final stopped I was face down in the grass "Ow" I said which was joined by a chorus from the others. I tried to stand but in all honesty I was still a little shaken from the trip but thankfully someone helped keep me steady .

"Easy there kid the first trip can leave you a little jumbled." I looked to my left to see the guy who was helping me was actually the Sentinel.

I'm not much of a fanboy but I got tongue tied "You ... I Jason … Huge honor".

"Hold that thought I gotta go stop something." he said.

I turned my head just in time to Nico scream "Luke!" and lung at the boy that brought us here who now had his hood down.

"Cassy hold him." the Sentinel said before he disappeared in a streak of silver light and reappeared holding Nico back. I started to fall only to be caught by an all too familiar girl.

"Calm down kid." he said calmly despite Nico's flailing.

"But, but that's Luke! Do you have any idea what he's done!" Nico shouted.

"Yes I'm very aware of what he's done but he's more than made up for it now calm down!" it wasn't exactly a shout but it wasn't calm ethier.

"Um guys." I said finally feeling steady on my feet.

"What!" Nico shouted.

"It's Cassy" I said pointing to the girl next to me.

"Ho-ly crap." Piper said "You're Cassy!".

"Yes I am, why is that so hard to believe." Cassy said.

"O-our friend, he's been starting remember his past life and about a month ago he drew a picture that looked just like you and said it was his daughter Cassy".

That seemed to get Cassy's attention "Did he say anything else?" she asked.

"He talked about his memories about his kids a lot even if he hadn't remembered all your names yet and he was getting really frustrated that he couldn't remember the face or name of his wife yet."

Cassy turned to the Sentinel "I know that look and before you even ask yes we will be seeing him soon" he said before glance down at Nico. "Now you gonna be good if I let you go?" he asked.

Nico who nodded "Honestly I thought you would be in a better considering your sister and all.".

"What does Hazel have to do with this?" Nico asked.

"Hazel?" he said looking confused for a moment "Oh sorry you can take off the hood." he said to the girl. Slowly she pulled the hood down and I got a look at her face, she had black hair, black eyes, and pale skin that actually reminded me a lot of Nico.

"Bianca!" Nico shouted as he tackled the new girl. Reyna tensed up at her boyfriends sudden contact with this girl and I couldn't really blame her. Nico wasn't known for really showing affection all that much.

Hazel put a hand on Reyna's shoulder "Don't worry it's not what you think. That's his older sister she died about 5 years back." she said.

"Well now thats out of the way I gotta get back to training the legion oh two more things first my name's Silver and before you ask the color was named after me and not the other way around.".

"That thought never even crossed my mind." Leo said.

"Oh well that's been surprisingly popular question today and second there's also surprise for Leo waiting in the medic tent." Silver said.

Silver left and Leo went up to the previously mentioned tent. We stood there for a sec not really sure what to do when Silver walked by us again this time heading for the tent "Sorry can't miss this … you're probably gonna want to see this as well." he said.

Leo was frozen in the entrance to the tent "Um Leo?" Piper asked "Are you ok?" Leo didn't respond. Silver knocked on the post in the center of the entrance, I couldn't see a ton from where I was standing but I did see someone moving around inside. A few seconds later Leo was tackled to the ground by a very beautiful girl.. "Calypso" Leo croaked. 'oh so it's her'.

"Well let's get going." Silver said "I think they need some alone time and I got work for all of you. Girls follow Cassy and guys follow me."

Artemis POV

We had been running through this forest in Idaho for last three days because one of my contacts had said they had sensed a child of the forest here. "Where the heck is he?" I whispered to Zoe and Thalia.

The rest of the hunters were getting some sleep after the long day. "Do you even know what he looks like?" Thalia asked.

"Well no, but he's already getting his memories back I'd figured we'd question every guy we found till we found him but we got nothing.".

"Did you really think that idea through?" Zoe asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes?" Zoe didn't seem convinced and just stared me down "Ok so I didn't put a lot of thought into it, but come on don't you want to see him again too.".

"Artemis? Is that you?" I couldn't see who the voice belonged to but at the moment I didn't really care I wanted my fiance back so I just ran off after him.

"Perseus?" I called.

"Over here!" he yelled back.

"Artemis slow down." Thalia called, but I didn't. Finally I emerged in this clearing and saw a boy about 17 with black hair standing on the other side. It was dark so I couldn't really see his face, or much of anything really.

"Perseus" I said quietly.

"Hello Artemis it's nice to finally meet you." he said igniting the torch he was apparently holding "And no I'm not Perseus, my name is Chrysor." Thalia and Zoe finally caught up and the three of us were surrounded by dozens of of dracena, cyclops', and gemini of all things standing in the trees.

I cursed myself for being so careless this was probably the most obvious trap they could have placed and I blindly ran straight into it. "Who?" I asked, in our current position we were dead. We had no of escaping, I couldn't enter my true form without hurting Zoe or Thalia, and there were too many to fight off so our best chance was to keep him talking till help arrived.

"Why does no one ever know who I am!" He shouted to the heavens

"I'm the best swordsman of my age and I rival Ares in skill but all anyone ever remembers is my stupide horse brother.".

"Who's your brother again?" Thalia asked.

"Pegasus" Chrysor said through clenched teeth.

"Oh ya I know him, I actually was a big fan of his as a little girl." Thalia said, which caused me and Zoe to look at her 'really?'. Apparently that wasn't the right thing to say because Chrysor screamed in frustration and charged at us.

Thalia POV

I attempted to draw my hunting knives but they were shot out of my hands. Water exploded around us and Chrysor's band of monsters were drowned one after another. Chrysor though either didn't notice or didn't care. His focus was on me and rage fill his face. Just as he got within striking distance of me a new boy slammed into his side.

Chrysor's imperial gold sword skittered away so he punched the new guy in the face, knocking him back. Chrysor scrambled away and grabbed his sword. He spun on his knee attempting to kill or at least distract his attacker but he wasn't even close. By the time Chrysor reached his knee the other guy had one sword ready to block his and another against Chrysor's neck. All in all this new guy had Chrysor out matched "Who are you?" Chrysor asked.

"Perseus, guardian of Artemis." the new man growled before removing Chrysor's head from his shoulders.
