So I just realized I had sent Vindex with them and didn't mention him at all in the last chapter, so if you could all pretend he was there, that'd be great. 😆

Previously:
Horst came up next to me to see for himself. "Get the animals ready!" he shouted. "They'll need to go first."

I smiled when Blackjack jerked his head up in surprise as a response to Horst's shout. The black horse snorted indignantly and flicked his tale.

"Ready, Blackjack?" I whispered. "We're about to start this adventure for good now."

Blackjack stomped his feet and bobbed his head in agreement. About time, he said.

"I'm ready too, Percy," Thalia said in a mock injured tone "You forgot about me."

I rolled my eyes and turned back to the barges. This was going to be one wild ride from here on out that's for sure.

"Sam's an idiot," I muttered as I put away the hand held mirror I was using to talk to my sisters. They were checking in on my hunt every once and a while to make sure they didn't do anything stupid. Obviously, they didn't check in often enough.

"What'd he do?" Thalia asked around her hands as she leaned over the railing of the barge.

"Clotho and Lachesis say he took his sister out for an ice cream trip with out telling everyone," I said. "Made everyone panic like crazy until Atropos said where they'd gone. Which wasn't until they'd been gone for two entire hours."

I waited until Thalia stopped dry heaving for her to answer. "How-" retch "How long were they gone?" she asked.

"About three to four hours," I shrugged. "Apparently they went to the mall too."

"Idiot," Thalia muttered, before she started retching again.

I smiled slyly as I kept my eyes on the city in the distance called Teirm, "so how are you doing, Thalia?"

"I'm hurling my insides into the sea, Percy, what do you think?" She demanded with as much of a glare as she could with her stomach acting up.

The boy passing by happened to catch onto her tone of voice and started walking faster.  While her stomach was feeling too sick to do it's job, she'd proved more than capable of taking down anyone who provoked her. Fairly easily too.

"I'm surprised you haven't demanded to go ashore," I said calmly, used to her scare tactics.

"Ashore?" She asked groggily, lifting her eyes slightly from the water to see the city in the distance. Her electric blue eyes widened considerably and she darted off to the lowering deck. "Put it down for face the insides of my stomach," she told the man who was watching over it.

"But Roran said-"

"Do it," her eyes sparked dangerously and the man gulped before doing as asked.

Next thing I knew, she was kissing the grass and dirt as well as hugging a tree. Vindex jumped around next to her, happy she was feeling better. My dog and my cousin had formed a special bond in the days we were at sea. He had been highly concerned when she started barfing over the side of the barge.

"Glad to see you accepting your family, Thals!" I shouted at her as Roran came up to my side at the railings of the barge.

"Shut up, Kelp head," Thalia shouted as she and Vindex stated running around.
