Everything seemed like it was going back to normal, or as normal as being a Demigod could get. I started helping Axel in the armory, along with the welding class. I also helped my Apollo siblings the best I could with work or with chores.

"Okay everyone, I want you to use the hammer to help you bend your dagger into the design of your choice." I instructed and showed my group of younger campers.

They easily followed my instructions, then after that they were done and had their very first weapons at camp! I remember how memorable it was last year when Axel helped me make mine; it's one of the reasons why I wanted to teach armory this year.

"You did good." Miles stated as I was picking up after class.

"Thanks, Logan." I said placing some pieces of scrap metal in a barrel.

"You wanna grab some lunch?"

"Sure, let me just finish cleaning up and I'll meet you out there." Miles nodded, walking outside of the armory.

I finished cleaning up the room and walked to grab my satchel.

"Ivy. Ivy. Ivy. When will you learn?" A laugh echoed to me.

Miles and I walked into the pavilion, finding Haylen and Ollie eating together.

"Hey guys." I said sitting down, "How are y'all doing?"

"Surprisingly well." Haylen stated, taking a large bite out of his apple.

"Ollie?" I asked, looking at the Demeter child.

"Okay, I mean considering most of the plants are starting to grow back."

Miles and I began to eat with them, we talked about our plans for this year until a deep booming voice interrupted our train of thought.

"You four." Chiron said, looking at our lunch table. "Come with me."

We walked out of the pavilion and into the forest.

"Chiron, where are we going?" Miles asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Y'all have another quest." Mr. D interrupted from behind us. "Seems that Apollo hath decided his daughter would make a good choice for the underworld."

"Excuse me?" I looked at Dionysus. I really hated him at times.

"You heard me!" Mr. D took a swig of his diet coke. "Apollo traded you off as an offering."

This really pissed Miles off; his body flinched and he started to longe at Dionysus. I grabbed his shoulder, leaning into him.

"So much anger. You two belong together." Mr. D commented slyly.

"What do we need to do?" Haylen asked, concerned.

"You need to go down to the underworld and make another offering." Chiron stated, peacefully.

"You mean besides Ivy." Miles said, crossing his arms.

"You have two weeks." Mr. D finished and walked off.

"Well, I guess we better pack." I sighed and walked away from the table.

I quickly packed everything I needed in my satchel: First Aid Kit, Drachmas, Money for the bus or whatever transportation we need, my journal to record what we have done, pens, and of course my sword.

"Good luck sis, you got this Ivy." Jeannie smiled at me encouragingly. I loved that little girl.

"Beat Hades ass." Kamren said, pulling me into a hug.

"You know it." I laughed and walked out of the Apollo Cabin.

The quest this year only consisted of Haylen, Ollie, Miles and I. Did this have anything to do with Artemis and Apollo or was this quest strictly logical because Miles and Ollie are here as well.

Miles and I lead the boys to Miles' truck that we parked about a Mile out of Camp in an abandoned field.

"I call shotgun!" I shouted, running once the truck came into view. I quickly threw my bags in the back and jumped into the vehicle.

Once the boys arrived, Miles gave me the keys and I started the truck up.

"Okay do we even know how to get to California?" I asked the boys once everyone was settled.

"Ivy, that's what a map is for." Haylen said, rolling his eyes.

"Ha, very funny." I rolled my eyes and grabbed the map.
