Unless, I were to contact Hades and ask him to do it. But why in the world would Leo want to talk to that thing? "You're telling me, that you want to talk to that thing? Leo, could I ask why?" He nodded, waiting and I realized he was waiting for me to ask. "Leo, why would you want to do that?"

My tongue was in my throat by the time he finished, words evaporating my mouth. Ten minutes pass before I say, "Like the way a certain cabin child was talked to? Oh Gods..this is not good, hold on, I'll be right back."

"FATHER. HADES, I NEED TO TALK. IT'S URGENT, A THREAT!" I yell, still shaken from what Leo told me.
"Son," he boomed, "It's nearly midnight, what could be so important at this h-" I interrupt him before he could finish his sentence. Yes he was a god, but I couldn't care less right now.
"Kronos is re-emerging. Again. He has been talking to Leo, controlling him, using him for power." He interrupted me.
"Son, that's imp-" I stop him. "Father, have you forgotten what happened to Luke? How we lost so many campers, yes? It it NOT impossible. It's happening NOW. We need to completely stop Kronos. If we don't stop him, he will re-emerge. Stop being un-open minded. Your ignorance is insufferable! Open your eyes father, not your mouth! Now, I apologize for yelling, but you are acting up. Just like a TODDLER."

Persephone emerged from the shadows of Hades' Palace. With a yawn, she gracefully walked over and said "Oh dear son," I glared at her. I was not her son. "Kronos is re-emerging? Hades, what shall we do!" He waved her off, telling her to go back to bed. But I quickly shadow travelled back to camp, suddenly remembering it was near midnight, if not past. I walked a tired Leo to the Apollo cabin, I lay him down gently in the bed. I contemplated getting a child of Hypnos to put a nervous Kayla to sleep, but I decided to not.

"I apologize father, I had to get Leo to bed." He nodded understandably.
"No worries, I understand. How is Will?" He voices. "Exhausted," I sigh. "He's overworking himself again. Gods, he is way too overstressed. I need to give him a nice vacation."
