"Let's go check up on Jason. He's all alone in his cabin. And trust me it's not as fun as it sounds," I say.

"I guess," mumbles Annabeth getting up.

We make our way to Zeus's cabin. I walk up the stairs and step into the cabin. I hear thunder roar in the distance.

"Be quiet!" I yell at the sky walking further into cabin one.

"My dad really doesn't like you," says Jason.

"Ever since the lightning bolt incident. Actually really since I was born," I mumble.

"Guess it's been a while since anyone slept here," Jason says.

He looks through a desk and finds a picture of Thalia and Annabeth. He looks at the picture for a moment.

"That's Thalia," says Annabeth.

"She's the other child of Zeus. The only other one as far as we know," I say.

"She stayed here fir a little while, but now she's one of Artemis's hunters. They roam the country killing monsters," Annabeth says.

"Sounds dangerous," Jason says.

"Yeah, well, they never age so it's not all bad," I say looking around.

I realize I've never really had the guts to come on here before.

"I don't suppose either of you would like to join my quest? Don't tell Piper and Leo, but I have zero idea what I'm doing," Jason says.

"No! Absolutely not. I'm staying here and being happy with Travis. Plus I still need to find my brother," I say.

"Sorry, but finding Percy is my priority. Besides you don't need us. Something tells me this isn't your first quest. Whether you remember it or not. Besides, all you have to do is follow the monsters. You are attacked by storm spirits in the sky walk right? So I'd start with the nearest wine god," Annabeth says.

"No problem. There must be a gifs and monster  phone book, right?" Says Jason.

"Actually there is," I say.

"But you won't need it. Boreas, the north wind, is the closest to where we are. He lives in Quebec City," says Annabeth.

"Thanks. So you guys and Thalia were friends? Something about her... something feels familiar. What's her last name?" Asks Jason.

I never found out her last name. I knew she didn't like to use it and she always got mad when someone brought it up.

"She ran away from home when she was pretty young. She and her mom didn't get along, and Thalia didn't like to use the family name. But I think it was Grace," Annabeth says.

Jason's face goes pale. He grabs his head and lets out a grunt.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"I-I don't know how, but I remember. My last name is Grace. Thalia is my sister," Jason says.

I hear a loud noise coming from outside. Lots of campers were screaming.

"What the hades was that?" I ask.

"Let's find out," says Annabeth.

We run outside and see the the metal dragon that's been on the loose. I pull out tidal wave.

"A pen?" Asks Jason.

"Yours is a coin.," I say uncapping Tidal Wave.

"Don't attack! I come in peace!" I hear Leo yell from the dragon.

"Leo? How did you....?" Jason trails off.

"I said I'd find us some air transportation. Did I come through or what?" Leo says.

"How did you survive the fire breath?" Asks Nyssa. She's one of Hephaestus's.

"I um... got lucky. Festus is actually really nice. He just needs a little tune up. He's as good as new. I think," says Leo, "now I suggest you climb aboard, so we can get going. All these weapons are making Festus nervous."

I look at Tidal Wave still open. I put the cap back on.

"But we haven't planned anything yet. We can't just-" Jason starts.

"Go. If a pet dragon isn't a good omen, I don't know what is," I say to Jason.

Jason and Piper hesitantly get on the dragon. I don't know how Leo did it. The Hephaestus cabin has been trying to catch it for weeks. It's been wrong ever since.... Ever since Beckendorf.

They take off into the air to begin their quest. I remember my brother and my first quest. It's one of the reasons Zeus doesn't like us.

I turn and walk back to my empty cabin. I miss my brother so much.
