Chapter 23 The great tomb

Nico pov

The driver took us to a deserted area and kicked us out of the car. "Jiù wǒ ér yán" I didn't need Frank or Marci to translate that it was obvious he said 'This is as far as I go' "Nǐ bìxū dúzì zǒu dào fénmù" didn't need that one translated either 'You'll have to walk the rest alone' wich was understandable. But something wasn't adding up "Wait" I said "I thought the tomb of Genghis Khan was lost and forgotten. That no one knew where it was" Marci looked back and smiled "It is. To mortals. We Roman,Chinese demigod have known the location for centuries." "But how?" Ryena joined in "His followers hid it in an undisclosed location" "Well lets just say are ancestors were those followers." Yeah that makes total sense;not really I'm totally confused. Then Marci walked up to a big cluster of bones "Ummm" I mumbled confused "Are these...bones?" Marci turned and grinned "Dragon bones" she said. She put her hand on the middle of the skull and mumbled an incantation in Chinese. Then the ground underneath us started to rumble. A huge fissure opened right underneath me. I'm serious right underneath me I fell right in. I could hear my friends jump in after me. When I landed I landed on my feet (Yes like a cat). Everyone else followed. "Welcome" Marci announced "To the 11th legions HQ" "11th legion?" Ryena asked "Sure why not?" Marci gestured for us to follow. She led us into an open area full with roman style buildings. With an arena in the center
I was getting a sense of déjà vu. Major flashbacks to the under ground of Rome. Marci led us into a tall one room building. "These are my best craftspeople" she announced. We saw a bunch of young KINDERGARTNERS in aprons and holding clay "Your joking right?" I asked "No she's not" Frank answered "These kids can work wonders" "Ok" Hazel inquired "Let's test that shall we" she took out her phone and pulled up a picture of The Athena Parthenos "Make a forty foot tall version of this and we'll pay you an enormous sum" the kids got to work quickly and in a matter of minutes a complete exact replica of the statue stood before us. We played the kids hundreds of drachma as we promised. We took the statue outside and called for an immediate pick up. Frank and Marci said their goodbyes when the mighty flying warship hovered over us. "If you ever need the legion behind you just give me a call" Marci said "I will" Frank promised "and I think we'll need you eventually" Thalia and Will lowered the ramps and we boarded we decided it best to hide in the clouds for a while until the next call. "WHOA" Will exclaimed "It looks just like the one at camp" "And you said kindergarteners did this?" Thalia asked "Yup" I confirmed "Pretty weird right?"
