Hello again, long time not see!

Let's just go straight to the story!

Rachel's Pov:

In the morning I found out Frank and Reyna arrived,and we greeted each other and presented them to Red and Mitchell.

"So, what do we do now?" I asked. Red took out a map from a chest beside her bed. We where in her room, which was decorated forest-like, with trees and a little pool of water trickling from a rock. She set the map on her wooden table and put pins at the ends so it wouldn't close. She pointed at the sector of Brooklyn.

"I've been comparing modern maps to the maps where the crystal set where marked, and the approximate to one is in the Brooklyn sector. We need to head there and find it." she said.

"The Brooklyn sector is huge! We'll never find it!" Octavian said. I nodded, "It could take us months, we don't have that much time." I said. Mitchell crossed his arms.

"Remember that there's always someone who'll find it, so it's easier,  a person carrying something made of blue glowing golden crystal isn't difficult to spot." He said. "Besides, we've got Red with us, she's a great tracker." Red blushed and put the map back in the chest.

30 minutes later, we were in Brooklyn sector. Red and Mitchell had changed into normal clothes. Red was wearing a white t-shirt that read "wild one" and jeans. Mitchell was wearing jeans, a white shirt and a red hoodie. We were in a cafe,  planning what we would do.

"We should split up in pairs, go to different parts of the Brooklyn sector." said Reyna. Frank nodded,"It makes sense, but how will we communicate?"

Mitchell frowned. "Hadn't thought of that." he said. Red rolled her eyes and took something that looked like a crystal coin, with a hole in the middle.

"We can't communicate by voice,but we can see each other. If you put this on your eye you'll only be able to see the people with these." she said and gave each of us one. I looked at it, and put it on my eye. Everything dissapeared and I could only see the "gang". I took it off and everything went back to normal.

"So," said Octavian. "What are the groups?" Red went to stand next to Mitchell. Hazel with Frank, Nico and Reyna,and Octavian and I.

"It's settled then, let's go."

I didn't feel the cold until I went with Octavian to a tree close to an abandoned factory. I stood, leaning my back against the tree and Octavian stood in front of me, arms crossed.

"I don't like this, I don't want you to be in danger." he said. I smiled.

"I'll be fine, I'm worried about you." I said. He come over and hugged me. Then he kissed me, pushing me against the tree softly. I put my hands in his messy hair and kissed him back. It was going to turn into a make-out session until I felt a was of cold and the sound of someone iceskating?

I looked in front of me and saw a kid of about nine running on the ice towards us, with a demon following him. The demon had a guillotine for a head, something that told me it couldn't be Greek.

The boy kept running and I saw he had staff made of wood, and he was dragging it in the ground,making the ground around his feet turn to ice.

He seemed to notice us and his eyes widened. He tried to move so he wouldn't crash into us but the demon reached him and pushed him, making him fall, and break his staff. Octavian and I took our swords out. The kid turned around and rolled to the side as a guillotine head pierced where he had just been. Octavian ran to the demon and cut of his head, but instead of exploding into golden dust it poured sand. Octavian looked at the sand with confusion. I looked at the kid and he looked at us surprised.

"You're magicians?" he asked. I shook my head. "We're demigods, what are you?" Octavian asked.

"I'm blood of the pharaohs, I'm from the 21st nome. What are demigods?"he asked. I explained to him and he loked confused.

"Anyways, why where you running from that demon?" Octavian asked. The kid took out a staff, a very peculiar staff.

It was the crystal staff.

"Where did you get it?" I asked. The kid shrugged.  "Found it in the lake, from where I was practicing with my new spells. It was under the layer of ice." He said. I took out my sword and showed it to him. Then I explained the story of the crystal hearts.

"What's your name?" Octavian asked. The kid looked at his staff and looked at us.

"I'll tell you but let me send a message to the others." he said and I nodded. He took out some ink and drew something on his hand, it seemed to be an eye, but I wasn't sure. He said something to it and it dissapeared. He then turned to us.

"Felix," he said. "My name is Felix."
