I walked up to Thalia's Pine and started to stroke the dragon,Peleus, on the head. "You need a tune up sometime soon buddy." I murmured quietly. He snorted and I turned so I could look down into the valley. I saw the lake where I had crash-landed in a flying chariot, the dining pavilion where I ate meals with my cabin, my cabin number 9 where I slept and worked in the underground tunnels. I loved this place and could understand how much everyone else did. It was like that one kid, Harry Potter, whose home was Hogwarts. I could definitely relate to him. I turned back around to the mortal side of the barrier, and saw a white Delphi's Strawberry Service truck pull up. Argus got up with some long-time, no-see friends.

"Reyna! Frank! Hazel!" I ran down and gave them all big hugs, or in Reyna's case a handshake. I lead them up the hill and helped Argus with their bags. "Holy Hera, Reyna what do you have in here? Rocks?" I asked. Her bag was by far the heaviest. Hazel and Frank exchanged a look. "What? Does she seriously carry rocks with her?!" I asked.  

"No." Frank said chuckling. "Just swords, daggers, and a shield or two." Hazel added. "Oh." Was all I could say. "Right this way." I blushed. I lead them down into the valley and to the Big House.

"Chiron! The Romans are here!" I yelled. The centaur appeared in the doorway and came out onto the porch. Jason, Annabeth and Piper walked out behind him. "Leo. Annabeth is in rough shape so I'm going to take her to her cabin." Piper said quietly. I bet the real reason is she doesn't want to see Reyna. I think. Piper was always really insecure about loosing Jason to Reyna. She and Annabeth walked off to Annie's cabin and I was left alone with a centaur, a bodyguard, and four Romans.
