The House of Hades

Leo XXI

Leo

"Help! Delta!, Alfa,! anyone!" Ephlision was yelling desesperatly all around the ship.

"What is wrong?" Delta asked

"Hazel got kidnaped!"

"By whom?" Leo asked

"I don't know!" She answered

"I smell demigod" Gleenson said while the ship descended

"Well, duh! we are demigods" Leo said

"No, no, it smells different, it's none of you"

When the ship landed, they heard a scream. "Go away, giant!" the voice said

Leo looked at the park and he saw an eight foot tall lastrygonian attacking at the most beautiful girl Leo ever saw, even more than Hazel. She had blond hair and blue eyes. She looked about fourteen. The girl was trying to kill the monster with a hammer, but it made no effect.

Leo ran to the girl's aid. He took out his flaming hammer and pounded the giant twice before it crumbled to dust.

"Why did you just came down from a flying ship?"

Leo said something like "uhd duh" then he cleared his throat and said "do you want to come here for a while?"

Leo saw her more carefully and he noticed that she had cuts around her body. She had a white shirt, a blue navy jacket and jeans.

"Sure, I bet it's better than the wilderness with all the cyclops and hydras and lastrygonians"

They walked back to the ship.

"Who is her?" Hedge demanded "she smells like half-blood"

"Is he a satyr?" She asked

"Got a problem cupcake?"

"Why did the goat call me cupcake?"

"Coach, don't be rude, she is, what is your name again?" Leo asked

"Marina" she answered

"She was being attacked by a lastrygonian and I saved her"

Suddenly, a holographic drawing appeared above her head, a hologram that would change the course of history. A white peacock appeared in her head.

"This is bad, really really bad" The satyr said

Even Leo was stunned.

"Hail Marina, daughter of Hera, goddess of family, lady of the peacocks" Gleenson said and bowed. Leo bowed too.

"Who is her?" Nico asked

"Um Nico, come here, you won't tell anyone not from this crew, ok?" Leo said

"Ok" Nico said

"She is Marina, she is, um, the daughter of Hera"

If Nico could get more pale, he got.

"If any Olympian found out, an argument would start between Zeus and Hera, and that would very bad at this time"

"Everybody come to the deck imnedeatly, it's an emergency, now!" The half goat man said

"Leo is this a kind of joke or-" Piper said

"No, she is Marina, she is also a demigod, too dangerous to let her in the wilderness, you won't tell anyone she exists, ok?" Leo said

"Yes" everybody replied

"Good, her mother is Hera, queen of the gods."

Nobody said anything.

"How old are you?" Piper asked

"I'm fourteen" She answered

"How long have you been in the wilderness?"

"Since my father died, a month ago"

"And you are fourteen" Piper asked

Marina nodded

"I have to talk to Grover" Leo grumbled

"I see you found a mistake" Gaea appeared next to the ship

"Who are you?" Marina asked

"I am your mother, I am mother of everything"

"Go away Gaea!" and Frank nocked an arrow. It touched Mother Earth and she dissapeared.

"I hate Gaea" Frank muttered

"I'll take Marina to the infirmary, if you don't mind"

And they headed together to the nursery.

"Here, drink some nectar, it's the drink of the gods, it can heal, but too many could-"

"Burn you to ashes, my father used to tell me greek myths, about the minotaur and the furr-"

"Just don't say those names, promise?"

"Promise"

"What did it taste like?" Leo asked

"My dad's special orange juice" Marina answered

"Do you mind if you stay with us? If you go, many monsters will try to kill you, you are too powerful, you can sleep in the couch"

She thought about it for a second "I will stay, if I don't bother anyone"

"Nobody will mind. We are a family, but first, you need a weapon, made to kill monsters. Let's go to the armory."

The armory was nothing special, just lots of weapons and furnaces.

"I'll make you the most powerful weapon I can do, do you want a sword or hammer, or bow?"

"Dagger "she said

"Um, ok, I will build a dagger out of celestial bronze and imperial gold. The mortals wont be killed by these metals, but they are deadly to monsters"

"Did you see the pale guy? He is Nico, son of Hades, the blond guy, he is Jason, son of Jupiter, the big guy, he is Frank, son of Mars, the beauty queen, she is Piper, daughter of Aphrodite. We had three more in the crew, Hazel, she is Nico's half sister, she was captured a few hours ago, and Percy and Annabeth." He turned sad when he mentioned the son of Poseidon and the daughter of Athena.

"What happened?" Marina asked

"They fell to Tartarus" Leo said in a low voice

"You are not serious"

But Leo's expression said otherwise.

Hey, I think you already noticed Leo likes Marina, if not, you're not understanding very well my story. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
