"Thalia, Please, we can go back to the old days, when it was just you, me, and Annabeth," Luke says holding one hand out to his old friend while holding his Sword in the other, his tone was filled with soft pleading and his blue eyes were filled with longing.

Thalia readjusts her shield, angling it at the Cyclopsis, Empousas, and Chimera back from her, Percy, and Bianca as she looks at her old friend with sad eyes, "Those days are long past, Luke, you betrayed the camp, you betrayed us, you betrayed the gods-" Thalia says, but before she could say anymore Luke cuts her off with a roar.

"THE GODS BETRAYED US!" He yells, the hate and pain he felt making themselves known in his voice, "They let us, their own child, die before they even ever make it to camp, they refused to help them when they are in trouble, they see us as soldiers and expandable assist to further themselves," Luke tells her, "The gods betrayed us," he says with finality.

Thalia shakes her head, her heel pressed against the glass window of the penthouse that overlooked the city of sin, "No Luke, the gods didn't change or betrayed us, but you did," she tells him as Thalia centers herself and prepares to fight her old friend, her heartbreaking in two for him.

"Are you two done yet?" Asks Tyche, who had been lounging on one of the white couches and eating grapes as she watched the two groups bicker and tell like it was an afternoon soap opera,

"Because as entertaining as all this is, this room is reserved for high rollers and the Chimera is ruining the carpet," she says dismissively.

Luke, never looking away from Thalia, lets out a sigh, "Take the Daughter of Zeus, the other two aren't needed, kill and eat them, and we'll send what's left of them to their parents,"

Luke orders grimly as he brings his sword up, preparing to strike as Percy does the same and Bianca readies her bow with a look of uncertainty.

"Finally, try not to mak-" Tyche begins to say before she is interrupted by a thunderous sound.

BOOM!

It echoes through the sweet as everyone turns to the sealed and shut door that leads to the hallway.

BOOM!

Everyone jumps at the second one, watching as the door rattles as something slams against it, "What is that?" Tyche asks as she stands, just before she gets her answer.

BOOM! CRACK!

The heavy door leads into sweet splinters and is ripped from its hinges as the massive bulk of an armored Cyclops sails across the room and slams into the opposite wall from the door, a gleaming red spear buried in its heart, spectral thrones emanate from the haft before they bury into the monsters, then the Cyclops begins to scream in pain as the ghostly throne become very real silver ones before in a spray of blood and gore, rips the Cyclops apart into blossoming flowers before it dissolved into golden dust.
