Gemini POV: Scrolls and a Horn
           As Circe disappears into smoke, I see Aries move towards the door frame as he says," Are you coming or not?"
I hurriedly follow, remembering our time restriction. We find and climb down the stairs to the dimly lit basement as we decide that we need to split up. Even though different people 'see' different things in any place that they travel to, we are both looking for the same thing so, we can't miss it. On the negative side, we only have two hours find the horn. I turn to the left while Aries walks off to the right. A long hallway with many rooms stand in front of me. I hesitantly walk down it and open the first door on the right. All that I see is a single goblet on a simple pedestal. I continue to open and close again and again. Once though, I open the same door twice and the second time, it's a totally different room. Ugh! This is impossible! I hope Aries is having better luck.
Aries POV
        As I come out of the last room in my hallway, I see Gemini sink to the floor in frustration. I instantly walk over to her as she runs her hand through her beautiful golden locks while she leans back and takes a deep breath. Wait did I just think that?! Well, she is as pretty as a peach. I snap out of my thoughts as she looks up at me. I reach out my hand,  risking a part of myself. She takes it as my insides burn with relief. She looks directly at me as she says," Did you find anything?"
" No, what about you?" I reply.
" All I found was that every time you open a door, another room replaces it."
        " Well that's interesting. What were your rooms like ?" We continue to talk as we walk up the stairs. At the top, I instantly stop as she describes a room that I saw and searched. As I turn to look her in the eye, see realizes exactly what I'm thinking. Each door leads to all the rooms in this house. We run back down the stairs and thought that we would pull open the first door until neither Gemini or I see a room that is unfamiliar. But, instead, we stop when the door radiates in sparkling red light as a drop of my blood accidentally falls from the cut in my hand. My symbol appears on the door as it opens to a room with only the Horn of Chrysomallos resting on a small table. We enter and as I grace my hand over the Horn, Circe appears. She looks directly into my eyes as she says," Congratulations, you have out smarted my confusing rooms and have successfully found the Horn of Chrysomallos. Take these and the Horn and may the odds forever be in your favor."
With that, she hands us three scrolls each labeled for Pisces, Cancer, and Perseus. We know that we need to find Glaucus's herbs. We soon find ourselves  on the other side of the island surrounded by trees the size of houses. As the sun sets, the horn starts to mysteriously glow. A beacon of light shines up to the sky as the wind carries us away. We travel across the island and cross the vibrant green sea to the island of Dodona. We descend on the sandy beach as the light shine towards a golden gate. As we approach it, I realize that the shape of lighting bolts circles the gate and fortifies it. I look at Gemini as we come to the conclusion of we have to get through the gate. Towards the center it reads: To pass through my giant doors, one must find the key to Circe's secret. Only then will my doors awake. As soon as we finish reading this, Gemini goes up to the gate, thinks for a bit, and whispers," Pisces, Cancer and Perseus are her children."
The gate opens and the light of the horn points north as we trek through the forest. The light fades as we reach the center of the island. A mammoth tree stands in front of us at the heart of the island. I run my hand over the rough bark of the tree until I feel a slot the exact size of the Horn of Chrysomallos. I look at Gemini as she places the Horn into the slot. The tree glows in a pale green light as of the Horn was giving it life. Where the slot was, an engraving now appears. It states:

I see my necklace start to glow with the same pale green light

I see my necklace start to glow with the same pale green light. I take off my necklace and place it against the tree. The tree radiates in light as the herbs and the Horn appear right back into Gemini's capable hands. My necklace returns to my neck as it as well as Gemin's start to glow. We are transported back to Celestial High, where all of our alive friends are waiting patiently. 

Unknown POV
I feel like the Horn of Chrysomallos has been found and how it has been used. I know it has been found. And by no other than the Zodiac of Aries with the help of the Zodiac of Gemini. This means that it's almost time. Time is of the essence and for the 12 Zodiacs it's running out.
