(The next day)
(In Denver,Colorado)
(In The Pig and the Sprout Restaurant)
(Ariana Finley,Aaron Finley,Annabeth Chase and Anastasia arrive)
(Ariana Finley,Aaron Finley,Annabeth Chase and Anastasia sit on a table)
Unnamed waitress:(passing the menus)Welcome, what can I get for you?
Annabeth:Hi,would you give us some time before ordering?
Unnamed waitress:Sure
(The waitress walks away)
Ariana Finley:Why is it that we need to be here on Denver?You think dad is gonna be there?
Aaron Finley:I do not know to be honest,that is all that Poseidon said to me.
Anastasia:Are you sure he can be even trusted?
Annabeth:I guarantee you that from all the gods, Poseidon is one of the good ones.
Ariana:Of course,after Athena.
Annabeth: ...
Ariana:Right?
(The waitress comes back with lunch plates)
Annabeth:Wait!We have not even ordered yet!
Unnamed waitress:(pointing out to a table) Courtesy of the gentleman over there on the corner...
(Everyone turns to the direction the waitress is pointing)
(Everyone sees a mysterious man sitting on a table)
(The waitress leaves)
Annabeth:You stay here,I will handle this.
(Annabeth goes towards the mysterious gentleman)
???:Annabeth Chase,it is a pleasure to finally meet you in person.
Annabeth:Do I know you from somewhere?
???:Not quite,unfortunately,I was hoping to get to know you better during the Battle of New York,but Kronos rejected my every advice,which it lead to his demise.
Annabeth:You are Koios,the Titan of Intellect and the Axis of Heaven.
Koios,Titan of Intellect:You guessed right, you are definitely as smart as your mother.
Annabeth:What do you want?
Koios:Do not worry,if I wanted to fight against you for what you did to my brothers,we would not be having this conversation peacefully.I am here with a proposition.
Annabeth:What kind of proposition exactly?
Koios:You might want your siblings here with you, they'll need to hear this as well.
(Annabeth turns to Ariana Finley,Aaron Finley and Anastasia)
(Annabeth makes a signal with her head to Ariana Finley,Aaron Finley and Anastasia)
(Ariana Finley,Aaron Finley and Anastasia go towards Annabeth)
Koios:There is a monster I have been interested in catching for a while in Crown Hill Lake.The mortals do not pay much attention to it,they oftenly mistake it for the Lake Ness Monster.
Aaron:Why don't you capture it yourself?
Koios:I am an strategist,not a warrior. Besides,is not that why gods created you demigods?To carry out their will?
Ariana:Our loyalty is to the Olympians,not Titans like you.
Koios:Very well,I suppose you do not your dear father enough to get the location of Arachne's new hideout from me.
(Ariana and Aaron Finley gasp)
Ariana:(angry)You know where our father is?!Where is he?!
Koios:I will tell you,but only if you bring me the monster on Crown Hill Lake.
Ariana:😡
Annabeth:(to Ariana)We don't have a choice,is the only way to get your dad back.
Anastasia:Besides,we cannot let a monster at plain sight of mortals.
Ariana:(angry)😡Fine
Koios:Good,now go ahead,my lunch awaits.
