I woke up not wanting to get up, typical. But I might as well try to complete the quest. Maybe a monster will just kill me. Then I won’t have to worry about this whole prophecy thing. Then I heard banging out the door.

Leo yelled, “Wake up, Alex!

I tried to yell back that I’m not home. But of course my voice was gone, oh sorry, not gone. Stolen.

Fern shouted, “I know you can hear us.”

I was ready for intruders like them. I pressed on a button beside my drawer. The next thing I heard was the sound of gushing water and screaming.

Fern exclaimed, “What did you do that for?”

“My jacket,” Leo cried. “Aw man. And my tool belt, you wet my tool belt!”

I slowly rise from my bed and changed into denim jeans, the orange half-blood shirt, a red plaid hooded jacket, and my red converse. I brought that bottomless backpack that was already filled with all of my stuff. I walked out the door with a drenched Leo and Fern. Travis and Connor were right behind them.

Leo muttered, “Thanks, I forgot to shower today.”

Connor and Travis applauded. “Quite a show you put there.”

The brothers tried to look inside my cabin but I shut the door. I pressed the doorknob with my ring and put it on lock mode. Cebury was also there to meet me. She gave me a slobbery kiss and I hugged her back.

Travis cracked his knuckles. “You can give us the keys.”

Connor grinned. “We’ll take care of your cabin while you gone.”

I gave an icy glare to the Stoll brothers. I looked at Ceb into her eyes, and tried to have some sort of telepathy conversation with her. She then barked in a 3-tune harmony, that’s when I knew she got my request. Ceb took a step towards the Stoll brothers and started to growl at them.

Travis stammered, “What is she doing?”

Connor said slowly, “Nice doggy, good doggy”.

I wrote on the whiteboard explaining them the situation. If the step at least 10 feet from my cabin, they’ll be new chew toys for Ceb. The gulped and started to walk away, wishing me luck.

I walked towards the stables with a soaked Leo and Fern. Fern wore the orange camp half-blood shirt under a green jacket. He carried a brown backpack probably filled with food for the journey. He wore baggy jeans, Nike shoes to cover his hooves, his green beanie to hide his horns that he was still too embarrassed with since he complains that he was a late bloomer. He also wore his crutches to pass of as a human. Leo wore his regular army jacket over his camp half-blood shirt. And his golden tool belt was still soaked. We met with Jason, Piper, and Chiron in front of the stables with Phoenix. Jason wore the camp half-blood shirt with a black windbreaker and had a sword by his waist. Piper also wore the camp’s shirt with her faded jeans. She also had her knife, Katropis the dagger of Helen of Troy, attached at her side.

“Finally,” Piper said.

Phoenix whinnied, “This half human, half horse has been trying to give me this sort of jewelry. May I have permission to trample?”

I shook my head and she calmed down.

Leo started to observe Phoenix then asked, “Where is the button on this thing?”

“Gods Leo,” Piper groaned. “This is like any normal horse.”

"Only it has wings," Jason pointed out.

Chiron smiled and handed me a huge golden hoop that could fit through my neck like a necklace.

Chiron said, “This will somewhat tame Phoenix, kind of like the bridle that Bellerophon used to tame Pegasus. You can control the different forms of her, I had the Hephaestus cabin make it custom made for Phoenix’s ability.”
