*Marina's pov*

Autumn's throwing star had hit Alex right in his chest, and even though he obviously had human blood in him he completely disintegrated into the fine gold powder. All of that right before her body hit the ground with a hard thud blood pooling under her.

"AUTUMN... Autumn, come on, wake up, wake up - please... AUTUMN!"

Footsteps, the squeaky sound of shoes on the gym floor and I was in a panic getting Autumn and Ryan who was holding Týr to our dorm room. I was speed walking with Autumn on my back and Ryan was holding Týr, the only thing I was thinking was keeping them safe.

༶•┈┈⛧┈♛♛┈⛧┈┈•༶

Autumn was laying in her bed that was originally unmade, and I was dabbing a damp cloth on her forehead and turning slightly to do the same to Týr who was laying on my bed. They were both unconscious and the sound in the room was their soft breathing.

Even though Ryan was silent I knew he had many questions and wanted the answers I was currently unable to give with the thoughts running in my mind.

Sitting down on the floor I couldn't bring myself to look at either Ryan or the two laying in the beds, this wasn't even as bad as everything that's been happening the past few years so why was it messing with my head so much? Ryan was the trigger for it... love I guess - was this really how Percy and Annabeth felt? - and then Autumn... For the sake of the gods, my first friend who I met that wasn't because of Percy.

"Marina... Please look at me" Ryan had silently said only just above a whisper. When I looked at him he was not even hesitant to show his confusion "what the hell just happened?" he asked "well... You know the greek myths? there all true also the roman ones... and well me and Autumn are both demigods - she a child of Hermes and me of Poseidon - Týr, a satyr and Alex... seems to be a hybrid of harpy and human" there was 10 seconds of silence, were it seemed Ryans brian was working overtime "You gotta be kidding..." he trailed off "no, not at all..." I answered and directed my gaze to his.

I heard a silent rustling and saw Týr moving so he was facing us "You're awake!" I exclaimed and went in for a hug "yeah" Týr laghed "my head hurts like Hades though". "Týr... Marina says you are a 'satyr'" Ryan asked slowly and Týr just nodded in a 'duh' kinda way "well then... Prove it".

After Týr had proven the fact that all myths are true he said it actually made sense, Ryan told us he had always been called crazy as a child being able to see the monsters.

**Autumn pov**

I was slowly opening my heavy eyelids. My head was hurting as I lifted myself up on my elbows, I was laying in my bed. "Good morning sleeping beauty" Týr said, sitting on Marina's bed. I quickly mocked him in an annoying voice. The memories of the prom slowly creeped up on me. "Hey dude, I'm sorry we left you when- um" I felt guilty for leaving him "Don't worry, you did the right thing" Týr reassured me and I just nodded as a response. "But wait! What happened to Alex? Where is he?" I exclaimed, I passed out before I could see anything. "Autumn, you hit him with your throwing-star before you passed out" Marina said with happiness in her voice "-so he's gone?" I asked "he's totally gone" Marina said. Slowly a wave of relief washed over me, thank gods. I couldn't help but smile. "High-five on that" Týr stuck his arm out, and we high-fived from each our bed. We were chatting about the night's event till the sun started to rise, this was a long ass fight. At some point I realised "Doesn't this fight mean we are done with our quest?" I looked from Marina to Týr "Yeah, you will be going home tomorrow... I mean later today now that the sun is rising" Týr nodded, I was very thankful that this nightmare of a quest was over. But with that information I could also tell that Marina got a little sad, she was looking down into the ground trying to hide it. -Oh yeah, she doesn't wanna leave Ryan, and it's probably gonna be hard keeping contact when demigods don't have cell phones... I feel bad for her, Bluegirl finally found someone she liked and now they might split paths forever. "How could Ryan see Alex as a monster anyway?" I asked, trying to change the subject "That was what I wanted to say! Ryan you have god blood in you, -that's also why you can see monsters- most likely that one of your grandparents were a demigod.are ¼ god, that means one of your grandparents are a demigod You were probably Alex's only friend because his monster brain was attracted to the faint smell of god blood." Týr busted out "And now that you unfortunately got involved in all this jazz, we would like to offer you a summer stay at Camp Halfblood!"

We spent all morning explaining to Ryan what Camp Halfblood is, and what it involves. And of course he said yes to the offer, the smile on Marina's face when he said yes was priceless.

We didn't come to class that day, we were all too exhausted (for obvious reasons).

Around midday Týr and Ryan came up with some lunch for us all to enjoy, they had brought sandwiches from the cafeteria. It tasted amazing, probably because it was my first meal of the day. Me and Marina also started to pack our stuff. Not gonna lie I am going to miss this place. Even though we weren't here for a long time, Ive made alot of unforgettable memories and it's sad knowing I won't see this place again. It didn't take a long time to get all the stuff into bags "The bus will be here in 15 minutes, say your goodbyes" Týr said and took our bags. I fistbumbed Ryan and said "You're cool enough, we will see you next summer at camp right?" "Of course..." He said and smiled his crooked smile. Marina was quick to catch him in her arms in a heartfelt hug "See you at some point..." she said and slowly backed away "Sooner than you think" Ryan said and hugged her one more time.

Marina, Týr and I were sitting at the bus-stop. "It's so weird... I remember when we got told we had a quest, and I remember being so excited. But now, I'm kinda glad it's over" I said pulling on a loose string in my shirt "I have mixed feelings, I don't wanna leave Ryan, but I'm looking forward to seeing my friends at camp..." Marina nodded "I'm just glad I won't have to walk on crutches 24/7 anymore" Týr chuckled "And I'm glad we won't have to see the snake Suzy ever again!" I laughed "Oh my gods yes! I thought she was a monster, that's how bad she is!" Marina exclaimed and everybody started to laugh.
