Thalia, Natasha, Lia, Phoebe, and I are spread out in Thalia's tent. We're all great strategists and leaders.

"What should we do about Orion?" Thalia asks all of us.

"Are we sure Lycaon was even telling the truth?" Teresa looks skeptical that we're all diving into this head-on.

"Yes," Natasha says, surprising all of us. "Why would he lie? He believed you two," she points to Thalia and I, "to be beaten. Obviously, he was incorrect. And, even if he was lying, the threat of Orion is definitely more important than the Teumessian Fox right now."

"Agreed." Phoebe stands up as if the matted is closed, but I push her back down.

"I agree as well, but what are we going to do about it?"

"Corner him somewhere?" Teresa suggests feebly.

"That should be last resort." Thalia sighs.

"We should contact the Amazons. Orion will be after them too. We can meet together, draw Orion there somehow, destroy him with all of us."

"A trap?" Teresa asks.

"Exactly."

Thalia turns to me, "Can you contact Hylla? I'll let the Hunters know we're packing up."

I nod, and we all exit the tent. I go to a lake nearby, there's a mini waterfall creating mist. Sunlight streams through it, so I can see the rainbow.

I toss in a drachma. "O goddess, except my offering. Show my Hylla Ramírez Arellano."

The mist shimmered into the face of the Amazon Queen, Hylla. She looks at me and says, "Kiara."

"Hylla." I nod to her.

Hylla looks like the older version of Reyna Avila Ramírez Arellano, Hylla's sister. Her black hair is tied up in a ponytail. Her skin has a few cuts, but nothing dramatic. She has Amazon armor on, and a spear across her back. Though I can't see it, I know she has knives strapped to her belt. The belt of the Amazon Queen.

"What do you need?" She looks at me intently through the message.

"Have you heard the news about Orion?"

"Orion?" She startles. "What do you mean?"

I explain what we heard, then back up and explain about Lycaon. "Lycaon? I hate that guy," Hylla groans.

"I know right." She laughs.

I explain to Hylla my plan, and she nods. "Meet me in Puerto Rico. I have a plan."

"I'm glad somebody does."

She nods, and then slashes through the mist, breaking our connection. I go back to Thalia, and tell her the plan.

She turns to the Hunters. "We're going to Puerto Rico!"
