Once everyone started talking and I was sure they weren't looking I took the gold necklace out form my pocket and tossed it to Sara, it landed in her open hand which was resting on the chair arm and she slide it in her pocket when she realized what it was.

"As we were discussing before we got interrupted, You've been sent here

"Punished"  Lester inturupted

"Yes..you've been sent here to oversea the current issues camp has been having over the past months" Chiron explained

"Why were you punished this time?" I asked

"Because some of my children have decided to disobey the laws of death and escape the underworld" he said, welll got me there I guess

"And Hades probably would've turned a blind eye if it was one or two but four, or more if we include those on that quest you mentioned I could understand if he would be less then pleased, considering it's his duty to keep those souls in the underworld" Lester continued, at this point it felt more like a personal attack.

A few seconds later the door flew open and there stood Thalia, she was covered in why I hope was the blood on monsters and not fellow campers but I can never be to sure with her, her eyes fell over the room and only seemed to get more confused as she looked around.

"Why's he here" She asked which we all wanted to know but I'm pretty sure no one was going to be getting the answer to that question

"Why are you?" Lester asked, also I valid question but why wouldn't Lester know where Artemis was. His comment made me nervous and I was hoping he was just trying to be funny.

"Cmon guys we are burning daylight here, we need to get stuff done before night falls again" I tried to say confidently but I stuttered trought most of the sentence, everything that had happened over the past day was starting to catch up to me and so was the lack of sleep and food

"Oh yes that's the other news I came to share, I've been informed that the doors of death are being dealt with and at precisely midnight tonight all the dead will remain dead" Lester said so casually I wondered if that fall from Olympus messed with his head a bit to much.

"WHAT! EXCUSE YOU" I shouted and some similar things were yelled from others around the room, I tried to think about what he meant and if he was saying exactly what he was told, if he was did that mean that anyone who would die after that point would stay dead or would people who were "supposed" to be dead also be taken back to the underworld, the more I thought about it I felt a tightness in my chest and couldn't stop my mind from racing to the worst case scenario.

What if all my siblings die again, I can't lose them again I just got them back...what if I get taken back to the underworld I evaded death more then once I'm pretty sure I also count under the "should be dead" category.

Would Leo count? He died before, where was the line and how far would we have to cross before we would also be considered dead, what about those who are dying because the broader is gone that's dosnt seem fair .

Could we even save everyone in that timeframe only 15 hours to get everyone to safety and that's not even guaranteed that the border would be back. The only difference between would be if someone got hurt that would be it there's no more second chances.

I didn't even realize that I had heeled over and was grasping my head in my hands as my fingers pulled on my hair,

"Umm babe you alright?" Leo asked tilting his head up to look at me, which is what made me come back to the room
