"Thanks, Where's the nearest shower?"

"On your left"

The next thing Lilith knew was that she was packing for the quest.

Drew and Aurora were packing actually while she just sat with Ethan, his hand swung over her shoulder as she leaned on him.

"You don't have to go. This has nothing to do with you." Alabester made his way inside her cabin and the lightning cracked outside.

Hera never like the kids of minor gods in her cabin, so Lilith made sure for the kids to stay as long as she want.

Lilith sighed, clearly tired from this conversation, "You know Ally, I have to. I can't let an innocent demigod die. He doesn't deserve that."

Ethan interrupted, "he doesn't deserve you." and Lilith smacked his hands.

"You're all set, darling." Drew said as she flopped on Lilith's bed. Aurora made her way and sat near her brother.

"Thanks, beauty queen." Lilith said as she got up. "I have to go now."

"Not before this." Ethan said as he gave her a canteen of nectar and a ziploc bag full of ambrosia squares. "And for the good luck." He took out a half moon shaped pendent from his pocket.

The pendent was shining slightly and the star that hung alongside moon was beautiful blue colour with an amethyst gem in between the moon.

Lilith gasped as soon as she opened it. Inside, there was a picture of them, near the campfire. Ethan's arm around Lilith's shoulder, the girl was laughing hard, while the boy tickled her endlessly. She remembered that day, it was just before she went for Hogwarts.

Lilith looked at him, the boy was waiting for her reaction as he intensely watched her.

Lilith partially threw herself on him, her heart swelling up with all the love he gave her. The boy stumbled a little backward but caught her right in his arm.

"How come he always get hugs!!??"

Lilith made her way outside towards the other wearing a black california hoodie, black flares with boots and her signature blue bag swung on her shoulder. She was bringing all the snacks she could and some Ambrosia packets.

Lilith saw Annabeth who was bringing her magic Yankees cap, which she got as a birthday present from her mom. She carried a book on famous classical architecture, written in Ancient Greek, to read when she got bored, and a long bronze knife, hidden in her shirt sleeve.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow at Lilith, "Are you checking me out?"

"You look good, Beth." Lilith replied with a wink as if it was obvious.

Grover wore his fake feet and his pants to pass as human. He wore a green rasta-style cap, because when it rained his curly hair flattened and you could just see the tips of his horns. His bright orange backpack was full of scrap metal and apples to snack on. In his pocket was a set of reed pipes his daddy goat had carved for him.

Percy was wearing a simple blue shirt and dark blue jeans. A backpack swung over his shoulders as he nervously tapped his foot against the ground.

His eyes crashed with Lilith's and she saw how scared the boy was, she couldn't help herself as she smirked at his nervousness.
