[3 months after the battle of manhattan]

James: you got everything

Amara: yup I should be back in 2 weeks I will be ask quick as I can.

James: alright, remember be safe, stick to the shadows, let me know when you are there.

Amara sarcastic: alright dad

[James just rolls his eyes]

[ A nearly 3 year old Aelila is seen coming into view struggling to drag a guitar with along with her, as Amara and James looked at her amused]

Amara: what are you doing little star, aren't you ment to be in bed?

[Aelila looks up with puppy dog eyes which they both melt out]

Aelila: well you're leaving and I want to hear your song before you go.

"You sings?" Almost everyone asks in shock.

James scoffs "sing? She's bloody great"

Aelila nods proudly "Yup mommy's the best"

"It's true, when we were little Amara used to sing me to sleep" Yelena States proudly.

Amara flushes in embarrassment.

[Amara looks at James who just shrugs to say 'she's your daughter what what you expect, she Sighs takes the guitar sitting down on the sofa which Aelila squeals and bounces on James lap]

Amara: alright one song then its bed time okay?

[Aelila excitedly nods her head which earns a chuckle]

Alright what song?

Aelila: the blue one

[She laughs at her daughter excitement before starts to play the tune]

I'm alone here on my island
Floating in the sky, I'm
High above the world I used to know
And I'm far from any danger
Safe from any failure
Guarded, I found shelter in the storm

Everyone who didn't know she could sings turns and gaps at Amara who is sinking in her seat.

I'm hiding in the blue
Safe between the clouds
In the blue
Where I can't be found

Was a soldier in the legions
Fought against the demons
Fought against the monsters made of gold
But they stormed across Arcadia
Following their nature
Washed away the place I once called home

The Demi-Gods can relate to the lyrics, as her spy family nod in understanding of washing away the red room.

I'm hiding in the blue
Safe between the clouds
In the blue
Where I can't be found
I'm hiding in the blue

I'm hiding in the blue

As time goes racing by, I'm
Wishing I could be fine
But I'm still so stuck on what used to be
Made a prison out of my mind
Watch life as it goes by
Battle-scarred, my own worst enemy

I'm hiding in the blue
Safe between the clouds
In the blue
Where I can't be found
I'm hiding in the blue

I'm hiding in the blue

Hiding in the blue

The world's passing by, and
I lost sense of time, I've
Gone numb, I miss the days when
We were making legends
The days come and go, I'll
Wait through sun and snow
For you to come and take me from
This place and bring me home

In the blue
Safe between the clouds
In the blue
Where I can't be found
I'm hiding in the blue

Hiding in the blue
In the blue

[Aelila cheers for her mom as James and Amara laugh]

[Amara picks Aelila up goes towards the stairs]

Amara: alright little miss its bed time.

No one says anything all in shock at Amara's singing as James, Aelila and Yelena look proud having witnessed it before.

"Holy shit" Hermes breathes out earning nods of agreement across the room.

"And you wrote that" Thalia asks in shock.

"Yeah I used to struggle a lot more with my feeling and how to express them so James told me to write them down, I eventually turned them into lyrics" Amara explains shyly.

Apollo getting over his shock looks proudly at her kissing her cheeks, head, nose then lips with a shining smile says "my love, you have a voice of an angel you should sing more"

Which she flushes read in embarrassment as everyone agrees.
