Luke whistled lightly as he walked past the caged of screaming prisoners, making his way to one of the very few silent ones, where Harry, bloody and slashed, clothes a tattered mess, resided. He sat with his back to the wall, head ducked down and bangs preventing his face from being visible.


"Rise and shine Sweetheart." Luke said, a smile on his face as he unlocked the bars. Harry looked up slowly, staring at Luke with a blank stare. True, Luke hadn't done anything massively violating, but Harry had a feeling in his gut that if something, if anything at all went wrong, he'd be basically fed to the dogs.


Luke walked to Harry, grabbing his arm and leading them both out. Harry wanted to desperately to grab his wand, but he knew he couldn't. "Where are you taking me?" Harry inquired. Surely they couldn't be heading to Vegas already. The Fire Call had only been a night ago, hadn't it?


"I'm taking you somewhere of easy access for the time being, until we go on our field trip. No other questions. You know the punishment for stupid questions by now." Luke scolded, walking down the long hallway with Harry by the arm.


Yes, Harry knew. A harsh slap across the face. It wasn't that bad, he could deal with it, but he'd rather save himself some pain when he knew he wasn't going to get answers, and bide his time instead. The war hadn't left him completely stupid. He did have some tact.


Harry was silent as they walked. Luke lead him to a small room, with nothing but an intricately carved wooden table in it. upon the circular table lay several bowls with different colored marbles, each with a label. Harry hardly caught a glance at the color Luke grabbed and the matching label.


Raising the purple beads, Luke threw them onto the ground, and Harry closed his eyes. He had to keep the name in his head. He had to remember it. Maybe he could somehow let Percy, or someone know.


With a poof of brightly colored smoke, the two vanished.

The camp had been a mess since the fiery Iris Message two days previous. Annabeth was still in shock from seeing Luke alive, and hadn't been acting her normal self since. She was recovering, however, albeit slowly.


Percy had been seething with rage since the encounter. After his shock had melted away, rage took place, and he demanded a quest to go and save Harry immediately. It was decided quickly that Rachel was to stay in Camp Half-Blood, while several people went on a quest to save Harry.


Leo immediately volunteered, stating that he could have Festus ready by tomorrow, and it was the quickest form of transportation that they could have. Therefor, Leo was a necessity to the quest, as he knew how to fix and control Happy the Dragon alone.


Percy insisted on going, and wouldn't back down no matter what anyone said. Each time they came up with an argument Percy silenced them by stating that "I am going to find my Soul-Mate and I'm going to get him back one way or another even if I have to slay the whole Bermuda Triangle to bits", or some variation of that.


Nico was insistent as well. The boy could be very stubborn when he wanted to be, and he refused to let anyone go and save "MY baby brother".
