"Sooner or later, you're gonna have to choose." Dionysus says, staring at Chiron who's glaring at his cards while Dionysus has a winning smirk on his face.

Diana stared at her friend with a smirk, grabbing the wine glass in front of her, taking a drink of it, enjoying watching Chiron  about to loose at there 'family' game night.

"Bet you got that from hades" Dionysus grumbles, hooves clapping in the background, getting closer and closer to the trio.

Grover rushes in, beads of sweat running down his red face"Sorry to interrupt. Is now an okay time to talk?"

"No!" Dionysus and Diana yell

"Yes, go ahead." Chiron says happily throwing the cards down

"It's Sally Jackson. I think I know what really happened to her." Grover says making the three adults look at each other with a grimace on there faces "I've never seen a Minotaur crush a human to death, but I just... I assume that they'd get really squishy or something, or like... like an old banana, maybe."

"Grover-" Chiron starts, getting cut off by the satyr

"But she evaporated. Like a monster would. So, I-- I went to the Cloven Council, and they had actually heard of this happening before. And that, when a mortal is really close to death, Hades himself can actually reach out and-" Grover rambles, excited to tell the trio what he learned to help his best friend

"Yes, we know." Chiron says, cutting off the boy

"But you haven't told Percy anything yet?" Grover questions, a frown on his face

"No. No one is gonna tell him anything." Chiron starts "Diana has everything covered, she knows how to get sally Jackson back" Chiron says looking at the goddess who nods

" how did that go earlier, I'm guessing when you left the room you went to go talk to hades" Dionysus says with a smirk " or were yall doing something else"

"Dionysus" Chiron warns "we do not talk about that with young demigods around"

"I'm... But doesn't he deserve to know the truth?" Grover ask, starting at the trio with a frown

"Grover, the truth can be very dangerous if it isn't handled carefully." Chiron informs

"I don't want to lie to him anymore." Grover says making Dionysus scoff

"Come on. There are powerful forces at work here, boy. Forces that have laid waste to the Earth before, and are close to doing it again. So, you don't wanna lie to your little friend? Too bad. I suggest you steer clear of him, then. Because you will say nothing to him about this. Do you understand?" Dionysus says making the poor boy nod.

"Guys i think it's time to wrap it up, I'll walk Grover out" Diana says getting up from the table and walking out the door, wine in hand. "Come on"

Grover scrambles to follow the camps mother figure out of the big three house where there Thursday game night were always held at.

" there's a war destined to happen In Olympus" Diana starts before sighing " all the gods are scrambling to find the missing lightning bolt before the war happens. Percy is destined for great things, and his mom being with hades is one thing he shouldn't be worried about. I can get her out, and when I do I will explain everything"

"Why are you telling me this" Grover ask looking down at his hands

" a quest is about to be sent out" Diana says before turning to looks at the young satyr " I'm certain you will be part of it" she says bringing the boy into a hug.
