They went to the abandoned park, went inside and Percy, Annabeth and Rian went to get the shield but then live streaming started to Olympus and shit went down.

"RIAN, WE'RE COMING!" Luna yelled as they flew, about to slam into asphalt. Rian shadow travelled, Luna shadow travelled to them and grabbed Annabeth and Grover grabbed Percy. They all landed safely and looked to the cameras.

"OK YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN. YOU SAW US ALMOST DIE. SCREW YOU ARES I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T LIKE YOU. YOU ALMOST KILLED US. SHOW'S OVER BOY AND GIRLS, " Yelled Luna in a rage. The cameras turned off.

"Well that was a bad idea.." She muttered. "Yeah it was, " said all the others in unison.

"Well anyways... What's done is done. Let's go back. He better live up to his promise, " said Luna and they left the park.

Ares got them a ride in a truck with a bunch of animals. They travelled towards the west and Luna and Rian had their own conversation while Annabeth, Grover and Percy bonded. At some point, Luna changed her clothes into a red hoodie and faded blue jeans. She petted a sleeping Moonshadow with one hand as she read the journal of Sierra Slytherin-Silverwolfe in a low voice in Parseltongue to Ivy.

"#Sal and I made some new friends today. They were very nice. Sal and I were walking in town when I bumped into one of them on the road and fell but he was a hero. He helped me up and we picked up the books he had dropped along with Sal. I had scraped my knee and slightly torn my robes but neither Sal nor the boy- Godric Gryffindor- noticed. Then two girls came looking for Godric. Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff. Rowena went crazy that Godric dropped her books but Helga noticed i got hurt. She told Rowena to calm down and we went to Rowena's home. She is the daughter of Morgana Le Fay. We got close today. Sal and I shall meet them again tomorrow#" Read Luna. "So that's how she and Salazar met the other founders. Interesting, " she told Ivy who agreed. "Lu, come on. Help me wake the others. We're stopping, " said Grover and she nodded.

They woke the others up and hid. Annabeth and Luna put on invisibility caps since Athena had given Luna one too, Rian turned into his recently achieved animagus form, a snake and percy and Grover dove behind stacks of turnips. Then, Annabeth and Luna decided to distract the truckers and they freed the animals from the smugglers.

"Well... Hopefully the humans stay safe, " said Rian. They kept walking until they ended up infront of The Lotus hotel and casino. "#This is not good#, " said Luna in Parseltongue. "#Tell me about it#, " said Ivy, Moonshadow and Rian at once. The went inside and gasped.

There was a climbing wall on the side of one building, and an indoor bungee-jumping bridge. There were virtual-reality suits with working laser guns.

And hundreds of video games, each one the size of a widescreen TV. Basically, you name it, this place had it. There were a few other kids playing, but not that many. No waiting for any of the games. There were waitresses and snack bars all around, serving every kind of food you can imagine.

"Hey!" a bellhop said. At least Luna guessed he was a bellhop. He wore a
white-and-yellow Hawaiian shirt with lotus designs, shorts, and flip-flops.

"Welcome to the Lotus Casino. Here's your room key."
Percy stammered, "Um, but..."

"No, no," he said, laughing. "The bill's taken care of. No extra charges,
no tips. Just go on up to the top floor, room 4001. If you need anything, like
extra bubbles for the hot tub, or skeet targets for the shooting range, or
whatever, just call the front desk. Here are your LotusCash cards. They work in the restaurants and on all the games and rides."
