I opened my eyes and saw a giant yet very thin bridge. It looked like glass but was obviously ice. Khione sighed and used her powers to make the ice more dense and strong. She even added some railings to it. Thalia kept looking down beneath her just to make sure that the bridge was still there. I tapped her shoulder and she calmed down.

''Guys? We're almost there so Don't look down and look at the sky. Then, move your right leg forward, then your left leg, and just continue. If by any means you drop, which you won't, Jason can fly and I can grow wings so it's fine." I looked behind me and saw Thalia, Zoe, Bianca, Phoebe, Piper, Jason, Leo, Hedge and finally Khione behind me. Wow, this is one big group of demigods for just one quest...

We stared up at the giant gates of the icy castle with awe.

Though from a distance it looked a misty purple, as we got closer, I saw the courtyard divided into four corners, for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Once we stepped in, a wind spirit came forward. She looked beautiful in a wind spirit-ish way. She blushed slightly when she saw Hedge. Hahaha, I ship it!! Anyway, let's get back to track...

''Hello, my name is Mellie, I am Aeolus's assistant. what is your business today?''

''Hello Mellie. My name is Perseus Jackson. We are here to get a certain piece of paper from him to help the future of the demigods as well as giving back a certain something of his.''

''I shall see to it with him. Please sit in the entrance hall.'' She then floated away to go to Aeolus.
We sat on the couches which were made from clouds, therefore extremely comfy.

''So whats going on with the time at the moment?''Piper asked.

''Everywhere except Camp Jupiter is normal, but CJ its self is completely still in time for those who aren't immortal or touched by me.''

''Why did you do it though. We don't need to fight in the war games do we?''

''Firstly, I stopped time so that I can check on Octavian. He's hiding something. I can tell, so I don't want anything happening to my family while I'm not there. Secondly, I want to fight. The Romans still doubt me. they see me as a threat. I come suddenly, killing two gorgons controlling the water, then I take Reyna away from them and now I'm family with eight gods? I want to fight with them so that when things go wrong they won't accuse someone who's protecting them. Also, now they have the Greeks who they thought as their enemy in their home territory. Peter isn't helping and the Romans have Octavian so anything can go wrong. Besides, I promised them that my sisters and I will fight with them.''

''Aeolus may speak to you know. I managed to fit you in right before his 11:12 spot.'' Mellie came back and motioned for us to walk after her.
Just then a few harpies flew past us.

''What were those?'' Jason asked dumbly much like his father, no offence to Jason himself. It usually comes with the genes.

''Those are harpies. Us Aura's ugly stepsisters if you might say. They're spirits of violent gusts, unlike us aurai. We're all gentle breezes."

''Course you are'' Jason replied.

''We have a few minutes before he starts,'' The aura said cheerfully. ''He probably won't kill you if you go now. Come along!''

I looked around the palace with slightly wide eyes. It was beautiful. If my dad had an underworld version of Olympus and my 'father' had a watery version of Olympus, this one looked like an icy, airier version of Olympus. I thought that the castle from the outside was magnificent but that was only the entrance gates...
