Jonah:(packing his stuff)...Check?...
(Jonah closes his backpack)
(Vivian hugs Jonah)
Jonah:😅Vivian...it's okay...I'm just leaving for a few days...
Evan:Um...Jonah...I may not be the best person to tell you this...but...many campers tend to die on quests...
Jonah:WHAT?!?!
Evan:Don't worry,Percy has been on too many quests and has survived...barely.If he could,you can do this...maybe...
Jonah:(sarcastic)Thanks for believing in me
Vivian:You don't have to do this alone,you know,you can also bring 2 partners to go with you on the quest.
Jonah:Really?
Evan:Yep
Evan:So,when do we leave...
Jonah:😬
Vivian:(lying)Look!Is that Madelyn kissing Trevor from Cabin #19-Tyche?!
Evan:(looking away)Where?
Vivian:(to Jonah/in a lower voice)Go(Jonah goes outside of Cabin #7-Apollo)
(Jonah sees Ariana outside Cabin #6-Athena on the other side)
(Jonah goes with Ariana)
Ariana:Jonah!
Jonah:Hi Ariana
Ariana:How are you feeling?
Jonah:Better now
Ariana:Is it true?You're going on a quest?
Jonah:Yeah.Dionysus said that someone has to prevent a Titan from getting revenge on the Olympians.
Jonah:(nervous)😅Anyway,Vivian told me that I could bring anyone on the quest so...
Ariana:You want me to go on the quest with you?
Jonah:😳
Ariana:Yes,I would like to go on the quest with you.Let me get my stuff...
(Ariana enters Cabin #6-Athena)
Jonah:😍
Percy Jackson:You know,I was your age when I fell in love with a daughter of Athena.
(Jonah jumps scared and turns to ser Percy Jackson)
Jonah:Mr.Jackson!You scared me!
Percy:Sorry
Percy:So,uh,how are you feeling about this?
Jonah:(nervous)How am I feeling?...well...it's funny how you say it...
Jonah:This is madness!Knowing that my dad is Apollo is one thing!But deadly bulls!Kids in spears!And now everyone expects me to save the world when my only superpower is predicting the future!All in just 3 days!3 DAYS!
Percy:Jonah,I know is hard to deal with this at the beginning and i'm actually very Sorry I couldn't convince Chiron to not sent you on a quest.But I'm afraid all you can do now is to complete the quest and make sure not to die trying...
Jonah:Easy for you to say.You're the legendary Percy Jackson.You beat the minotaur with your own hands and won capture the flag the 1st day.I did neither...Sorry,i'm just not a hero,like you...
(Jonah leaves)
Percy:😕(Later)
(Jonah goes to the Big House)
(Percy Jackson and Chiron are outside the Big House)
Chiron:Are you ready,Jonah?
Jonah:Well...Ariana:(voice)Jonah!
(Jonah,Percy and Chiron turn)
(Ariana arrives with Aaron Finley)
Ariana:Sorry about the tardy.I was packing up my stuff for the quest.
Ariana:(to Jonah)Jonah,this is my twin brother,Aaron.
Jonah:Nice to meet you
Aaron Finley:Nice to meet you too,Jonah.
Ariana:I forgot to ask you if he come with us.You see,I don't go anywhere without him.Anywhere.
Grover Underwood:That's true.Hear it from the Satyr that brought the twins here.Ellie Bolt:(voice)Don't forget about me,sunshine.
(Jonah turns)
(Ellie Bolt arrives)
Aaron Finley:Woah!Woah!What is she doing here?!
Jonah:It's okay.I invited her.
Aaron:Dude,no offense,but if you bring her,you will definitely fail this quest.
Jonah:But...she's my friend.She saved me at Capture the Flag.I owe her one.
Aaron:She's nothing!But trouble!She's gonna get us all killed!She...!
Ariana:😬I think Jonah already gets the point,Aaron.
Ellie Bolt:Listen,I know I can a little reckless sometimes...
Aaron:🤨A little?
Ellie:😤But the point is,I have the experience required.You and your twin sister may have strategy,but you need more that to survive.Do I have to remind you that there are monsters waiting outside the barrier to kill us.You need the courage and the strength to defend yourselves.Not to mention,that I have been on more quests than any of you.Are we clear?
Ariana:😕I hate to say this,but...she has a point.
Percy Jackson:Perhaps the 4 can go together?
Chiron:I'm not sure,Percy,you know what happens when more than 3 people go on quests and this is a quest we can't afford to fail.
Jonah:Which is exactly why we all need to go.With my visions,Ellie's power,Ariana and Aaron's battle strategy.We can succeed.
(Chiron sights)
Chiron:Very well...
Ellie:Yes!
(Ariana and Aaron make a high 5)
Chiron:Now,before you go,is there anything on your vision that can help us with the quest,Jonah?
Jonah:Well,I remember the moon was at it's biggest top...
Chiron:At what phase?
Jonah:It was almost full moon,but there was light on the right.So...Waning Crescent?
Ariana:It's Waxing Crescent
Aaron:Yesterday,was Full Moon.The next Waxing Crescent is in May 22.
Ellie:Which gives us 2 days to go to Ephimetheus's prison or the world will end
Jonah:Where is Ephimetheus's prison?
Chiron:When Olympus moved to Western Civilization,so did his prison.It's currently located underground Mount Thielsen in Oregon.
Ellie:So there's a Titan locked in a mountain,huh?
Percy:Are you sure you want to do this,Jonah.
Jonah:No...but one thing's for sure.If I don't stop Ephimetheus,no one else will.
Percy:Good Luck,then...
Jonah:I will
Chiron:Now,Argus is waiting for you outside Camp to drive to the city,then,you're on your own...
