THE MEETING

Where to go?

8am

Nico's POV

The Norse demigod, whose name is Thomas Jefferson Jr., came to the camp early in the morning. But the main question is where do we have to go?

Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not sure which, we knew the answer by noon.

The four of us, i.e. me, Reyna, Thomas and Chiron, had started a meeting to discuss where we should go now that the 3 of us were ready with our quest supplies. 

Just then one of the younger campers who was on guard duty came running and shouting Chiron's name at the top of his lungs. Hearing this the whole camp gathered near Thalia's pine tree and what we saw shocked us.

On the once soft and even grass next to the dragon, there was an enormous map of the world burned into the grass with a Asian country highlighted. Beside it was written, 'Even after knowing our location you won't be able to stop us, children of Gods.'

Chiron took one look at the map and said, "The map has India highlighted. Seems like the fourth girl is going to be a child of the Indian god of death. Some children of Athena, Hephaestus and Hermes cabin, go to some nearby Cyber Cafe and find out the god of death in Indian mythology as well as mysterious news in the past couple of years. Perhaps that might give us a clue."

10am

Soon the demigods were back with some information and another meeting was called.

Chiron - "So did you find anything that might help us?"

Annabeth -"Well, in India there are several religions, but in all except one, the religions didn't have separate gods for different things. Hinduism was the exception. The god of death in that religion is Yama."

Chiron nodded his head and asked about the other part of the research.

Malcolm started talking, "Well, nearly four years ago, in different places time suddenly stopped. The number of places grew for 10 days until on the 10th day things went back to normal."

I furrowed my brows. That sounded something like Kronos would have done but by that time, he had died again.

"Where did that start?" Reyna asked.

"Atlanta in Georgia"

"Well then, that's where we need to go." Reyna finalized.

Chiron approved and while we got ready to leave, Annabeth made a small list of all the places in Atlanta which were somehow related to India or Hinduism.

And then I shadow-travelled to the first place on the list, Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture.
