Percy was silent as he half listened to Mars, he got the feeling that they had fought before yet could place where and when they had done so. He was brought out of his mussing when he heard Mars say something.

"Huh? Sorry, what are you talking about?" He asked.

Mars sneered "You're going on a quest with my son, water punk, no questions."

Percy glared at the god as Albion hissed, Mars looked away before he said "You shall go to Alaska and free Death or you will die, simple."

He flashed out after that, Percy felt his helmet disappear from his head as he turned to face his fellow demigods. This was not going to be pretty…


That night, Percy was dreaming, or at least he thought he was. Albion was next to him, the massive white eastern Dragon with some western dragon traits made something like a humming sound as a girl with blonde hair said they were close and not to move.

Albion grunted "I think you're not his mother so why are you telling him to stay put?"

The blonde gave Albion a shocked look before she said "I know him, Drake!"

Albion bristled at that "I'll have you know, girl, that I am a DRAGON! Not some common serpent that is not a Dragon."

The girl vanished before another voice spoke up, clearly a woman's "She is a controlling type"

Spinning around, Percy saw a young woman with blue hair, outrageous curves and sharp eyes. Albion chuckled as he noticed his host staring in shock.

"Xenovia, I thought you had been killed in the final battle with Trihexa."

The now named Xenovia shook her head "No, I wasn't. So, this is Durandul's new wielder?"

Percy shook himself out of his funk and said "Wait, hold it-You're in Durandul?! Who are you?!"

Xenovia gave him a ghost of a smile as she said "I was originally Durandul's wielder until you summoned my sword meaning your now its wielder."

Percy was confused but nodded anyway, Albion then asked "Then, you may not be the only one that survived…"

The dream started to become fuzzy and Albion spoke to Percy "Partner, the Red one has woken up but is still weak, so you need to prepare."


Percy woke up and got ready for the day, finding Gabriel with her stuffed animal waiting for him so they could go to the meeting. They walked past people going to the same place in toga's, and found Hazel and Frank.

"What's with the togas?"

Hazel answered "It's mandatory for leaders of the Cohorts to wear them."

Percy nodded until a voice barked "HOLD IT! I CAN NOT LET YOU PASS!"

Percy turned and found a statue glaring at him "What?"

"Remove your weapons, NOW!"

Percy gave the statue a look before saying "Uh, I can't…they would return to me anyway so there would be no point."

The statue grunted "I don't care, removed them"

Frank spoke up "Uh, Percy? That's Terminus, God of Boundaries, he won't let you pass if you don't-"

He was cut off when Albion spoke (BLADE!)

Durandul was in the air and transformed into the same girl that Percy saw from last night, she landed and folded her arms under her bust.

"Wha…?" Terminus started to say when Gabriel hugged Xenovia tightly.

Percy rubbed the back of his head before he asked "So, can I pass now?"


They passed the stunned god quickly and the meeting was a blur, Octavian made it so they had to do the quest without help, even though Albion bluntly pointed it out that was the same way that Greeks did it. So here they were on a boat, more like a wreck Percy thought, to Alaska. Xenovia had returned to her sword form and was stowed in his sacred gear, though she could still talk.

Gabriel was sleeping, hugging her stuffed panda bear, Hazel was talking to Frank. Percy concentrated on the water so they could get to Alaska faster. They made it all the way to San Diego before the Pax, the name of the boat, finally gave up the ghost.

Percy felt a twinge of sadness at the small ship, before he turned and said "Well, what now?"

Gabriel spoke up "I feel something, like a forest and…wild"

Percy motioned for Gabriel to lead on "Well, I guess we follow you."


The group eventually found themselves at a building with the name AMAZON on it. Percy walked inside and up to the front desk, the woman whose name tag read Kinzie looked up and seemed to glare at him without doing so.

"Uh…yeah, I was wondering if you knew a person named Hylla by any chance." He asked, the woman beginning to creep him out.

She just stared at him, the others came in and then she turned to Gabriel and asked "Do you have an appointment, ma'am?"

Frank then said "Uh…didn't Percy just ask you something?"

Percy's instincts flared and he shouted "BALANCE BREAKER!"

(VANISHING DRAGON: OVER DIVIDER!)

The armor surrounded his body as he crouched and held his arm out "DURANDUL!"

(BLADE!)

The blue and yellow sword was in his outstretched hand instantly, tightening his grip on it, Percy swung. He sent all of his friends to the floor before spinning his blade around and cut right through the drawn bows of the women that had just surrounded them. They were in shock at how fast he had moved, allowing Percy to spin around and knock them to the floor with his tail.

Kinzie was on her feet before Percy brought the sword around and pointed its tip right at her nose.

(Take us to your Queen, now and you will not be harmed) Albion said and Kinzie made a noise of compliance and lead the way.


The group moved silently, Percy had his helmet off and was holding Gabriel's hand. They eventually reached the Queen's chamber and was stopped by a older looking Reyna.

"Kinzie?! Why are there men here?!"
