(Hera's POV)

I was horrified. What happened to my loving niece? Even though she was never really my niece, I treat her as my own child.

Everyone else was stunned as well. They were expecting a warm welcome, but they got a solid, "GO AWAY!!" The goddesses were on the verge of tears, and the gods were pacing or comforting their family.

I was mad at ourselves. We were to blame. She never would've felt this way if we hadn't done that.

(Belle's/Claire's POV)

I couldn't believe it. I get peace for only three months. THREE. MONTHS. I was beyond mad, I was furious. I hopped on Emma, my pet dragon, and flew north.

I don't know how long we flew, for when we approached civilization, I saw a glorious sight.

I saw the bay. The Cretan Bay! I was home!

I flew towards the beach, where my sister would be relaxing, and saw them. My family.

"Momma! Poppa! Gen! It's me!" I called as they frantically looked around for me.

"Look! Who are you!" Gen cried.

"It's me, Belle! I changed how I look!" I said.

We landed on the water, making sure not to crush the fish.

"Oh, my gods! I missed you all so much! The gods Iris-Messaged youright? Well, never mind, 'cause I'm back!" I said.

"Sis?" Gen asked. "Are you gonna stay?"

"Yeah, I'm not needed on Olympus. Mom, Dad, can I come back to school?" I asked.

"Sure, honey. We'll put you right back in eighth grade where you should be," they offered.

"That would be great!" I said.

(Chiron's POV)

I followed the dragon from home to the shore. It kept flying though, north, towards Crete.

I guessed she went back to her mortal family, whom lived on the shoreline of the bay.

I ran back to tell the gods.

"Great! Let's flash there! Then we can make a big entrance and get her!" Hermes suggested.

"She may have enrolled in school though, so we should call a meeting for the whole kingdom. Where everyone would attend," Athena reasoned.

We agreed, and we flashed to the Royal Palace.
