As soon as we're in the throne room everyone looks to Lee. It's obvious that they're all counting on him.
"Hunter, what are we supposed to do?" Gaia asks her son.
"Where are they attacking?" Lee says going into leader mode. It's obvious that he's done this before.
"They're going to be coming straight through the city." Someone tells him.
"Get everyone to come to the castle. Get every healer ready for lots of people." Lee orders as people run around and 4 run out of the room. "Gaia, Tartarus put Kori in her room then greet people coming. Make yourselves useful." Gaia and Tartarus leaves with Kori when Lee turns to the next person. Lee exchanges hushed words with a guard. "Listen up!" He shouts and everyone stops what they're doing. "The demigods behind me are the best battle strategists of their parthenons. Listen to them until I get back." He lets the demigods take over but grabs Nico, Fos, Molly, Maria and I. "Nico, can you go scout and tell the other demigods what you find out?" Nico gives a nod and shadow travels away. "Fos, get all the monsters you can find and get them to attack the gods but it's volunteer only." Fos leave with a nod. "Molly go with him and make sure he actually does what I said." Molly follows after him. "Maria, you know what to do." She runs off after getting the 10 of Lee's cousins in the room. "Solisse, are you coming?" He holds out his hand again and I take it with no hesitation. We teleport into the shadows of an alley in a big town near the outskirts. A wall surrounds the town. The castle stands in the middle of the town. I step out of the shadows to get a better look, then I see around 10 kids in the alley. They don't look hurt but are obviously malnourished.
"Lee?" I ask him.
"I know." He tells me and steps out of the shadows. Almost emidietly one of the kids come over to him.
"Prince Astrlee?" The little girl asks him.
"Hi Olivia." He says and picks her up like she were Kori.
"It is you!" One of the boys yells and comes over as well.
"Ben? Last time I saw you you were getting adopted?" Lee questions.
"I was but the lady passed away before the adoption was finalized." The boy, ben, tells him sadly.
"At least you didn't have to leave." Lee tells him and messes up his hair witch puts a smile on Ben's face. "Is anyone else still here?"
"Bella's still inside. We're waiting for her, miss Sheeran and the others." Olivia tells him while playing with the medals on his coat. Then an older woman walks out of the side door to the old rundown building with 4 young boys, 6 young girls and a guy that looks to be 19. One of the little girls holding a stuffed bunny toy sees Lee and runs over to him latching herself onto his leg. The older lady is the next to see him and covers her mouth with her hand as tears fall down her face. The guy's locking the door but is having trouble with the keys. Lee waves his free hand towards him and I hear the lock click. He slowly turns around to see Lee with all the kids and drops the bag he was holding previously.
"Hi." Lee says with relief in his voice.
"That's all you're going to say after disappearing for a year. A year Astrlee. Do you know how hard that was?" The guy says.
"Wyatt, I tried to get back but the gods were watching me." Lee tells him.
"Astrlee, your parents thought you ran like Aiden and Amazon. They didn't let Kori come this year." Wyatt tells him. Their's a loud bang from down the street. Lee's eyes glow and the shimmer of a force field cover's the ally's entrance just as fire rages past.
"I'll deal with them later. Right now you all have to go to the castle." Lee tells them putting Olivia down.
"Aren't you coming?" Ben asks him.
"I have to do something first." Lee tells them. "Bella I need my leg back." He says with laughter in his voice as the young girl holding his leg just tightens her grip. He uses his powers to get her off his leg. I walk up behind him and put a hand on his arm. Luckily he knows it's me or I probably wouldn't be ok right now. I walk up beside him and move my hand to his. Befor anyone can do anything else he turns quickly as he changes his form. My hand leaves his. His hair, eyes and clothes are now starry black. I look to the entry of the alley to see Chaos. "Ben, Olivia, Bella run, now." Lee tells the 3 kids. I look at the kids to see the same thing has happened to them.
"You heard him. Let's go!" Wyatt yells and leads everyone else out of the alley. When they get close to Chaos Lee makes an X with his arms and Chaos is in a force field bubble. Chaos attacks the bubble but Lee doesn't even look bothered. Once all the kids but Olivia, Ben and Bella are out of the alley Chaos forms some sort of ball. Lee sees it and drops the bubble and makes one around us and the others on the other side of the entrance. He steps out of the bubble and walks up to Chaos.
"Mother, stop." He tells her. It brakes her construction when he says that and the ball disappears. She looks at him with shock then he smirks and waves his hand towards her. She disappears and the kids change back.
