Elves and Demigods

Chapter 24 - Magnus

​​​​​​​A short chapter, but enjoy!

I have to get in contact with Annabeth this instant!" Magnus shrieked. "She will be so disappointed.

"Calm down, it's not your fault", Hearth signed. 

"I was responsible".

"We all were", Biana said. She looks pretty frightened. Why wouldn't she be, after her brother and Jason, Piper and Will disappeared into some light? They could be in danger.

"If there's anyone to blame, it is me", Blitz said. "I'm the one who gave you that coin". 

"This isn't getting us anywhere", Marella pointed. "We need to contact the other team as soon as possible".

"I'll try calling Annabeth", Magnus said, and headed into a different room, deeper into Hearthstone's father's mansion. He had an emergency cell phone, just like Annabeth' which he only used for, well, emergencies. This situation counted as an emergency.

The phone rang five times before Annabeth picked up. "Magnus, can it wait, I've discovered something and it has just bombed my mind", She seemed to take a deep breath. 

"I wouldn't call if this weren't important, Annabeth", Magnus said. "Jason, Piper, Will and Fitz. They- they..."

"What about them? What about them?" She was probably just worried but her panic sounded scary. 

"They vanished".

There was a moment of pause before Annabeth answered. "Please tell me you're just kidding".

"I wish I could. But Blitz was just showing them this mysterious coin with a horse and eagle and when Jason held it, it shone and just engulfed them and-" 

"Hold on- horse and eagle? Those are the symbols of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter! Maybe they have been transported there?"

"Jason did seem to find it familiar. And yeah, I hope that's it. But do the camps normally have such kind of transportation system?"

"No, I've never heard of coins that magically teleport you. But I'm going to contact Chiron at Camp Half-blood and Nico or Reyna at Camp Jupiter and ask them if they have seen the missing demigods and elves".  

"Okay", Magnus said, allowing himself a little hope. "I will try to continue our mission over here. Call me if you find out something important".

"I will. Bye". She dropped the phone.

Magnus sighed deeply. Annabeth was worried about something else, too. What could it be? And what if- just what if- the demigods weren't at either of the camps? 

He forced himself to stop worrying. Piper, Jason, Fitz and Will weren't little children lost at an amusement park. They had been through so much, surely they can find their way to the camps.

Magnus took a deep breath to steady himself and back to the living room.

"What did Annabeth say?" Blitz asked as soon as he spotted Magnus.

Magnus tried for a confident smile but it felt fake. "They're probably either at Camp Half-blood or Camp Jupiter. Annabeth's going to find out where". 

Everyone seems to calm down a bit. Except Dex. "What if they're not at either places?"

"They should be somewhere. What's the worst that could happen?"

"They could be captured".

Everyone gave Dex a look.

He sighed. "You're right, they're probably safe". 

"What do we do now?" Biana asked. 

"We continue our quest", Magnus said. "We will go to Valhalla and ask everyone to be prepared for another war. They'll probably like it".

Even then, Magnus knew something was wrong. For some reason, he didn't think the missing questers were safe.
