They received a lot of good lucks, which they needed. He was waiting with other campers on the grounds when the gigantic ship arrived flying in air. Namjoon was on the ship with Yoongi while the rest were with him. Everyone watched in fascination as Argo II landed on ground, the dragon on the mast looking around with its red eyes.

Namjoon and Yoongi got down on the ground hugging and bidding goodbyes to their brothers and sisters. He gave Sam a hug in goodbye and the satyr almost broke into tears. After giving them a small bag of drachmas, some mortal money and some encouraging words from Chiron, they finaly boarded the ship.

He watched as the ship flew past the camp border, now the land stretching out beneath them in all direction.

"Won't the normal people see a huge ass ship flying over their homes?" Jimin asked, looking beneath them, the buildings and houses not that far away.

"Did you already forget? Mist? I taught you this." Taehyung complaint with judging eyes.

"Oh yeah Mist. What do you think the ship will appear to them as?"

"Probably like some huge bird or something?" Hosoek shrugged clueless.

"Dude, Yoongi you are amazing. This is so cool." Taehyung whooped happily.

"It's not just me. The other campers helped, especially my siblings" Yoongi shook his shyly.

"Even Nyssa agrees it's all you. Just accept the compliment." Jin patted Yoongi on his shoulder with a smile.

"Actually Nyssa offered him the head counselor post." Jungkook,who was sitting on the edge of the deck leaning his head against the hull, said surprising them.

"What? Really?" Hosoek questioned excited.

"But I refused." Yoongi interrupted before anyone could say anything else.

"What? Why?" Namjoon asked confused.

"I can't do that kind of stuff. The time when I am working on something is the only time I don't want to fall asleep. I don't want to attend meetings and all." Yoongi scrunched his face in disgust.

Before anyone could say anything someone entered the deck. Detecting the intruder he had Riptide uncapped and ready in his hands. Others too got into position, tense. The man was middle-aged with an athletic figure slim and fit with salt-and-pepper hair, dressed in nylon shorts and a New York City Marathon t-shirt making him look like a jogger.

"You did a good job son of Hephaestus. Talented just like your father." The guy spoke in a friendly tone with a sly grin on his face. "You'll need not worry demigods. I am just a messenger." He addressed the seven of them with the same smile.

"Hermes?" Namjoon voiced confused, dipping his raised dagger.

"Child of Athena indeed. You were always the smartest." Hermes smiled pleased.

Others lowered their weapons too. First Dionysus now Hermes. Gods really didn't live up to his expectations. Still Hermes looked good.

"You have a message for us?" Yoongi asked surprised.

"More of like an invitation. Apollo wants to meet with you at Lansing. He has leads that you need for your quest, or that's what he asked me to say." At Apollo's mention he sneaked a glance at Hosoek who watched the god with stern eyes.

"Why did he bother sending you when he could have came himself?" Jin asked curiously crossing his arms over his chest.

"He wants you to find him, I can't speak for his actions. He seems awfully interested in helping others nowadays."
