I stormed out of Camp Jupiter so suprised, after the kiss.

The kiss-Morgan Storm!-He just kissed me! My brain whispered happily.

I put my hand to my lips, they were still warm.

"Psst! You, with the parrot hair!" called a voice, off to the dark alleyway.

I know, I know- the dude was probably a monster- but heck, I didn't like being called a parrot.

Plus, I was still in a daze, Would'ya let me explain?

Anyway, I swiveled aroud, and glared at the dude; "Whatsist To Ya?!"

The dude could've been a WWE wrestler- huge fists, big steely eyes; the whole genre.

"Wanna play a game?"

"What sort of game?"

"A game with prizes."

"Be more specific, or get lost.

The dude glared back and retorted; "Whack-A-Monster!"

His expression changed, and he grinned; "By the way my name's Aeios, but you can call me-"

"Slick." I cut him off. I read his name tag- it read; λείος: Επίσημη παίκτη τέρας Της Σύμπαν

or in English; Slick: Official Monster Gamer of the Universe.

I allowed myself to be led in the alley, which immediately turned into an arcade.

Slick pulled out a set of keys, and walked to a door marked PRIZES.

He pulled out a bronze and gold helmet which seemed to be on fire.

"This is Celestial bronze and Imperial helmet- can never be pierced, plus- it's magical.'' he said putting

it in my hands. I pushed him away and asked; "Do you have anything else?"

He frowned, and lumbered over to the door, rummaging around and puttting the helmet back.

He grinned suddenly, and pulled out a huge sword like the helmet.

"Same materials, guaranteed success EVERY time." he said.

I yawned; "We got a few of those, last chance."

He grumbled, and rummaged around. His eyes lit up at a big, human-like figure.

He limped over saying; "I got this one yesterday, Really purdy too."

I looked at it, and gasped. It was a girl, but not just any girl.

It was Thalia.

She was unconsious, her feral hair falling into her eyes,

she was thin and her clothes remained undifferent.

Long story short:

Slick ended up listening to opera music by Frank Sinatra- I don't know how she did it,

she only had duct tape and a wrench (don't even ask where she got them.)

This us, turning off for a while
