  As Harry fell, the floor closed once again.
I was about to collapse, as were the others, but I didn't and or did they, thankfully.
"I see now that I was mistaken. You have won" Styx told us.
-"Open it! Open the ground so we can go with Harry and save him!" Shaggy yelled at her
-"I am afraid I was not the one who did that, darling, and even if it was me, I can do nothing. The son of Hermes fell on the Pit of Chaos, a place that's beyond anything we know. Not even Athena knows what lays there" Styx told us
-"Well then, at least let us do what we came here for. Erase the promise of Zeus" Tina answered
-"If that's what you want I will. Farewell demigods. You must leave me now. It is July 31, you should leave" Styx told us.
-"And how exactly will we do that?" I asked
  Styx looked at me with dead seriousness.
-"You are the son of the abyss. You are the fastest way in and out of this place. Figure it out yourself" Styx told me.
  I felt like I was going to collapse, but right before I did, my spirit left my body once again.
I was flying over myself. I realised only then what I could do. I grabbed Tina, Jay and Shaggy one by one before storing them in Harry's backpack. My body disappeared. Then I took the bag and flew off faster than I ever thought Hermes could run. I blinked and before I realised, we were in Olympus, and only up there, I fell down. My flying powers stopped working. I fell and I had my body on me again.

...

  I opened the bag, took everyone out and we all went running to the throne room, it was nighttime, and the moon was just above us. Hopefully we still had a few minutes left.
  We got to the door and there was a little yellow post-it that read: "Off to kill some giants. XOXO the gods"
  We came in anyway, since we figured it was just a little joke. Inside, there was a tall guy, in his forties probably, with blonde hair, electric blue eyes and a purplish black suit.
-"Hey! Jupiter!" I yelled
  He looked in my direction.
-"Yes?" He asked
-"We're back. We wish to see Zeus" I told him
-"Do not mention him! Otherwise I'll..." he started
  I knew what would happen. He twisted and turned and in his place, the figure of Zeus started flickering. Suddenly, he turned, finally.
-"Zeus! We're back!" I yelled
-"I see. Have you done that little job I asked?" Zeus asked
I threw back a sob. We barely survived, and not even all of us, and he was asking for his dirty work? How rude is that?
-"Yes" I reluctantly responded
-"Good. The ones who survived may live" Zeus told us, right before he disappeared

Tina, Jay, Shaggy and I all sat down and talked. We talked about the quest, like when Tina and Shaggy battled the sirens, we talked about our lives away from camp, like for example that Jay lives in Washington DC, we talked about our family, like Tina's mom, Ariana Cade, but most of all, we talked about Harry. We didn't know him for very long, but the time we did know him was nothing but good. We laughed when we talked about the time he stole flying sandals from his half siblings, we sobbed when we talked about his death, an so on.
After a while, when we started seeing the first glimpses of daylight, we realised that we had to go. Staying in Olympus was not a good idea. We started leaving the room, when we bumped into Hermes.
