I and Andromeda were reforming fast so we would reform in the northern part of the 'fields of monsters'. The longer you reform the more in the south you will reform. The titans are reforming nearly in the middle of Tartarus. In the middle Typhon is reforming. I died three times she only once. We died both fighting Tartarus. I died protecting her from Nyx and after that from Akhlys. She hid by my place of reforming which every monster has and waited for me to reform. I knew that our 'prey' reformed two days ago and is a titaness or with other words we really need to hurry up.

Since I was a god now I had a godly endurance and can run and fight for days. My sister isn't that lucky but she just needs some water to run again for some miles(that only works because of the blessings, her monster power which is a better endurance and me carrying her). We proceeded like that: running some miles, I summon water for us to heal and regain strength, five minutes break, restart the cycle. We did this for about ten to twenty hours. I knew we wouldn't reach her today but we were faster than I thought we would be. We were at the titan reform place. That unfortunately meant that we were near Typhon and around his corpse were always monsters. But still we decided to camp there but not without spreading our mark that recognises us as powerful sea monsters. A trick from Pontus. And I know from some Cyclops we met that I have an aura like the Kraken. With other words I only smell a little less powerful than Typhon. And monsters fear me because of this.

When we woke up the next morning we started running after a quick breakfast. You must know that monsters aren't allowed to kill on the fields. They can only capture us. We or at least I can kill them because of Pontus and Thalassa being my parents they can unbound me from their brothers law. The others can only steal our time. But they fear me the most on the fields. Anyways we were back in our old cycle of following our prey and resting. When we were only twelve miles away from Asterias palace we saw our prey and quickly ran up to her. I shouted.

"LETO"

Luckily she was a peaceful titan and had no experience in fighting so when she attacked I could get my sword  and block. I then quickly disarmed her with the trick Luke showed me so long ago. And it worked. What I hadn't expected was that she began to cry.

"A-and w-who s-s-send yo-you? Z-zeus? A-arte-artemis? A-apo-apollo? W-who o-or-ordered you t-to k-k-kill m-me?"

I was surprised to say at last. But I still answered.

"We are not here to kill you and what to you mean Zeus? Artemis? Apollo? Why would they kill you?"

"Y-you w-won't h-harm me?" Asked she, still a little fearful.

I nodded and told her to calm down. After she did we went to Asterias palace together and I told her my story. After that she told me hers. She is a daughter of Koios and Phoebe. She stayed peaceful in the titan wars. She had twins with Zeus and got cursed by Hera. She gave birth to her children, Apollo and Artemis, and tricked the curse. She lived with her children and Zeus visited them sometimes. But Hera grew jealous and in an attempt to assure her that he only loves Hera he killed Leto. Apollo and Artemis were told by Zeus that Leto abandoned them and betrayed Olympus. Artemis believed her father and send her mother a message that she never wanted to see her again. She broke Letos heart. Apollo never contacted her so she assumes he felt even worse than Artemis. All my respect for these two disappeared when I heard this.

Then we came to the palace and when I saw it I took my little sister in my arms to assure her that she is safe. The palace was radiating fear. Next to us Leto noticed our state and chanted a spell to allow us to enter Asterias palace. It took away all damage the fear did to us. Then she explained.

"The palace is protecting his inhabitants and I, my siblings or my parents first need to give you permission to enter it."

That explained a lot but when I entered I was met by my old enemy Koios and three other titans. Before they could reach their weapon Leto already stood between us and scolded her father.
