Olympos was quiet.

Olympos was never quiet and yet—

Apóllōn left the mountain, venturing down to the mortal world where he spoke with Sally Jackson and Paul Blofis. He explained to the two of them of how Leaneíras had been attacked at the Camp and that she had been taken away to Olympos for healing and her protection. He told them that as soon as she was able to, then she would be able to send them a message. It wasn't necessarily a lie. The chalice that she had been drinking from had been sent to Olympos, the last thing to hold her mageia a point for her to return to whence she came... came from where she had been transported to for even the gods did not know and as soon as she was back, because she would come back; she had to... she would be able to contact her parents.

Apóllōn explained to them that Perseus was also okay, but their enemy wants him dead and that he too was hidden from them until it was safe for his return. He apologized for the stress and fear that they feel. He told them that it was the will of Fate and even they as gods had to bow down to it. With a snap of his fingers, Kírkē and Eurythion return back to their sides, agreeing to pretend to be the twins, sick with the flu to keep away any questions and offer them safety in case of an attack.

In the next moment, he went back to his brother, his little prince of robbers, who was staring out onto the mountain in silence as if he was not even there with them.

Within the mortal world, Hḗphaistos' son, Leo, revealed that Bunker of his while explaining to the campers that they would be traveling to Ellada. Drew had found the whole thing amusing before disappearing in the chaos after to see her Ethan. The boy was doing much better as Paul helped him around the infirmary floor. And when Drew showed up, the two of them could only stare at each other before she was throwing herself into his embrace as carefully as she could. "Eh? Aeri, don't cry. I'm okay. You saved me."

"I was almost too late. I didn't think I was going to be strong enough," she murmured as she clutched to him tighter. She sniffled, turning to look at him in the eyes. "But... but... Ai shiteru kara, tsuyoku nareru." His features softened, pure adoration on his face as he brushed her hair behind her face. "Hanii, daisuki da yo. You can do anything you want, Drew. And your love has the power to rewrite fate itself. I knew you could save me whether you believed in yourself or not."

Iūnō sighed, disappearing from the mountain to speak with her son in all but blood. A part of her felt pained to see the annoyance and dislike that painted his face as he looked at her... looked at her as if she was a stranger. She fed him, clothed him, personally trained him; held him when he was sick. She loved him just as much as she loved her own children and he—It was her fault, she knew. She made the choice to take away his memories, but he could not keep them. Not if they wanted to survive what was coming. Those memories would tear them apart... Jason would tear it apart. This entire camp destroyed under the onslaughts of the heavens, and they could not afford that. Her Family... divine and demidivine could no longer be separated. Admittedly, she was a bit irritated with Poseidón for siring the twins and ruining all of her carefully laid plans even if Perseus was the best match for the quest (and even she had long saw the miracle of Hērmês finding love in the demigoddess that had originally been the one to slay his son so maybe it was a good thing that Poseidón sired twins instead of just Leaneíras on her own).
