[ chapter sixteen: hermia ]

Mia dreamed she was back at her parents summer house. With the beautiful blue waves crashing against the shore, the red head oddly felt at peace, but if she was dead why did evey part of her body hurt?
"Am I dead?" Mia asked to the wind.
"You're not dead, my daughter," a man's voice spoke up. It sounded like it was coming from the ocean. "I just figured this would be the most comfortable place to speak to you."
"Who are you?" Mia asked as the man became visible.
"I know we've never meet, but I'm your father."
Mia gazed at the man and as she stared into his sea green eyes, she knew he was telling the truth.
"What are you doing here? I thought everyone was saying Olympus was closed."
"It is, but I couldn't leave you at a time like this."
Mia froze. She got a sick feeling her father knew she was working for Gaea. She didn't know what he had planned to say, but she knew it wasn't good.
"I know you have a lot to think about, but I'm here to tell you to choose good. Choose to live a new life and leave your old one in the past. You'd be surprised how much you can miss if you're stuck in the past."

Mia hadn't been awake for long when she heard Jason yell, "Cyclops!"
"Whoa, it's okay, Jay. Calm down." She had been sitting behind the boy, arm holding his waist to keep him balanced. Leo sat in front, driving while Piper sat behind the two. They flew peacefully through the winter sky as if nothing had happened.
"D—Detroit," Jason stammered. "Didn't we crash-land? I thought—"
"It's okay," Leo spoke up. "We got away, but you got a nasty concussion and Mia was passed out through most of it. How you feeling?"
"How did you —the Cyclops—"
"Leo ripped them apart," Piper cut him off as Mia glanced over to Leo. "He was amazing. He can summon fire—"
"It was nothing," Leo said quickly.
Piper laughed. "Shut up, Valdez. I'm going to tell them. Get over it."
And she did —how Leo single— handedly defeated the Cyclopes family; how they freed Jason and Mia, then noticed the Cyclopes starting to re-form; how Leo had replaced the dragon's wiring and gotten them back in the air just as they'd started to hear the Cyclopes roaring for vengeance inside the factory.
