Thalia's POV:

It was incredible.

There were half goat people, satyrs were what they were called. And dryads nature spirits and more of those people with elf-like ears and triangle face with pale complexions.

Out popped a dryad from a Caladenia flower. And by popped out, it melted exactly out of the flower.

"Welcome to Sycilia Hollow!"  Eeva announced in her squeaky voice.

Percy and Nico looked around in awe at the nature and existence. They all haden't seen such beautiful sight since we'll, really since never. It was small but cozy and home to many critters and dryads and satyrs. Thalia almost forgot she was in Missouri for a minute.

Eeva grabbed Thalia by the hand and lead them all to a rock right on top of a mini waterfall leading to a crystal clear lake where a group of naiads in ripped dresses with pearl necklaces were relaxing on lilly pads.

"Everyone!" Eeva declared.
All the conversations stopped. Even the water seemed to come to a halt and flowed silently.  Every satyr stopped playing there reed pipes and turned there heads to Percy, Thalia, and Nico. Nico shifted his feet uncomfortable like he wanted to crawl into the shadows and curl up into a ball. Like he didn't want all the attention on him. Thalia couldn't blame the guy.

"These are Thalia, Nico, and Percy, " Eeva made heard. "They saved me from a bush!" She giggled. "They are our friends and they need help." They are looking for a lost magic item and fought monsters!" Eeva said this as if it were a wonderful thing and not the opposite.

All the nymphs gasped in harmony and the satyrs gave the trio a look of respect. Though, Thalia didn't feel like she accomplished anything.

Everyone was doing things for her. She missed while trying to shoot Khloe. Amphitrite helped her. And Amphitrite healed her hand. Thalia needed to prove herself. She wasn't going to go as the weak one of the group.

She hadn't realized she had been clenching her arrows out of frustration until she looked at her hand and saw veins popping out.
Eeva turned away from the audience. "Come, it's lunch, " She told them.

Percy looked relieved to finally eat after a full day.

They all followed Eeva to the tables and sat on one altogether. "Is this your home?" Nico asked her. Eeva nodded. "I've lived here all my life. My brother Jasper raised me. I've made friends with a lot of nymphs and more of my kind, Myrmidons."

Then, the truth dawned on Thalia. These guys weren't  just born with triangle-shaped faces, they were Myrmidons. Thalia tried to recall what they were. It was on the tip of her tongue, like most things she saw were.

"You are the Myrmidons, " Nico spoke. His voice appeared cautious like he didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing.

"Yes." Eeva said as if this were obvious.

"I remember you now, " Percy chimed in. "You all we're in Achilles army in the Trojan war. But that was over one thousand years ago? You should be dead."

Eeva let Nico talk first. "What if, this is the new generation of Myrmidons?"

"Ants. You can all turn into ants." Percy realized. "You can all spit acid."
