Xylo's POV

When I woke up, Magnus was still cuddling my chest. Then Nico comes in. Of course, every time we have alone time, Nico has to ruin it. Anyway he then said, "We will arrive at Camp Half Blood within the hour. Get up and get ready." He was standing in the doorway and he was immediately tackled. When I finally see who tackled him, I see Leonidas. He says, "Let them sleep as long as they want. If you don't, I will send you to your father." Nico immediately became more pale than usual, if that's even possible, because the Spartan King doesn't make empty threats. Magnus then wakes up and we get ready for the day. We put on our armor and sheathed our weapons. We walk to the top deck we saw Omega talking to mom. Then we looked over the edge and saw we were close to camp. When I say close, I mean we will be landing in about two minutes. When we land everyone gets off and I see Chiron and Mr. D. When I walk over Chiron asked, "Xylo, if you don't mind, can you introduce the knew people?" I tell him, "If you gather everyone in the amphitheater, I will introduce them." He then trots off to gather everyone. I then turn to Mr. D and said, "So, how was camp while we were gone?" He looks at me and said, "Annoying, as usual." I then say, "Well, at least you don't have the possibility of me calling you old because I'm just as old if not older." He looked confused so I said, "You'll find out at the amphitheater." Everyone from the quest then goes to the amphitheater. When we get there mom, Bri, Leonidas, Magnus, and I stand in the middle. When everyone was here and seated, I began speaking, "Hello, everyone. We are gathered here today for a few introductions. First, this is my girlfriend, Magnus. She is a daughter of the Egyptian god Anubis." When I said this the campers start screaming. To silence them, me and mom grew to our full height of about fifty feet and yelled, "Silence!" We then went back to our normal forms, I said, "You will show her as much, if not more, respect as you show the gods. As for flirting with her, well, let's hope you don't have to find out. It will be worse then when Leo did on the quest." Everyone on the quest flinched and Magnus laughed. "Next, is the man next to her. You probably know of him, but wouldn't recognize him. This man is King Leonidas of Sparta. The one from the Persian War." They looked confused so I said, "Save all questions for after the introductions." They nodded and I continued. "Then, we have the woman on the end. This woman is my mother. You will show her the respect she deserves. Without her, none of you would be alive. Your parents wouldn't have even been born. This is my mother, Lady Chaos." When I said that, everyone started to bow, but my mom said, "Don't bow, it makes me feel old." I look at her and say, "You are old. You are older than the universe." She then said, "That isn't the point." Then we got back on subject. "The woman in between mom and Leonidas is Bri. She's a daughter of Aphrodite. Don't flirt with her, she is still depressed about the death of her last boyfriend." The whole Aphrodite cabin ran to her and started comforting her. She goes and sits down with them. "Now introductions are over, but there is something else major that happened. On the quest, I figured out, I am not a demigod." When they heard this they looked confused so I continued, "What I figured out is that I am a primordial. My domains are Warriors, Battle, Resurrection, Life, Death, Champions, Hellfire, Dragons, and Destruction. The Fates also said I am not restricted by ancient law, whatever that means. Now, any questions?" No one said a word. "Ok, good." I then left with Magnus. We went to the woods  I saw her look at my wings. I turn to her and say, "Magnus, I need you to tell me the truth. Do you want wings." She looks at me and says, "Yeah, I just think they make you look good and I want to look good like you." When she says that, I look her in the eyes and say, "Magnus, you look absolutely gorgeous already, but if you really want wings, I can give you wings." Her eyes light up like the Fourth of July and she says, "Please please please. I really want wings." I then pull out the Book of the Dead and chant the incantation. When I open my eyes, Magnus has wings like mine. I then say, "Come on, I want to show you my favorite place in camp." I take off and wait for her in the air. We then fly to the darkest part of the forest. We land on a branch near the top of the biggest tree and look out. From here you can see all of camp and a lot of New York. When she saw this she gasped and said, "The view is beautiful." I looked at her and said, "Not as beautiful as you." We then kissed and flew back to camp. By the time we got back, it was dinner time. We went to the dining pavilion and I asked Nico, "Hey Neeks, is it okay if she sits with us and stays in the Hades cabin while we're here?" He looks at me and says, "Why can't she stay in the Hermes cabin?" I look at him seriously and say, "Do you really think I would let my girlfriend stay in a cabin with children of the god of thieves?" He thinks for a second and says, "Fare point, they would probably steal her stuff." I smirk and say, "I'm not worried for her, I'm worried what would happen to them if they try." He then pales from recognizing what I was saying. He then said, "Sure, our cabin is probably the best suited to be around her because of our dad being Hades." We then sit down and he noticed her wings and asked, "How does she have wings now?" I explain it to him and then asked, "Hey, Nico? I was thinking, the prophecy isn't complete, so is the quest really over?" He then asks, "What part isn't complete?" he asked. I tell remind him of the part where the past repeats and he will only live if my mother stops me. We then went on with our day.

Time Skip to the next day.

I walk up to Mr. D and Chiron at breakfast. I then tell them about my theory of the prophecy being incomplete. I then tell them that Bri, Magnus, and I will be heading back to Camp Oasis after breakfast. After we finished eating, we went around and said goodbye to our friends. When we are about to leave Leonidas asked, "Milord, how are we getting to this other camp?" I look at him and smirked. Then, I turned to the open field and made a very loud whistle. We wait a few seconds and then see three dragons in the clearing the first on was massive. It was over 200 feet tall and was black as night. Its scales matched The armor Magnus and I were wearing. There was also a saddle on his back that was big enough for two people, made of bones that were lit on fire with black flames.  The others were smaller . They were about 100 feet tall. They were white and had black leather two person saddles. I told him, "This is how. Unless you want to ride Omega. Eventually we get on and the arrangements were: Magnus and I on the biggest one, Bri on one, mom on the other, and Leonidas was on Omega because he felt more comfortable on a horselike animal. We arrived by sunset. I when we landed they thought they were under attack. When they saw Magnus and I, they relaxed. Mom and Leonidas came up to us and they were on guard. I then say, "Hold up, this is my mom and Leonidas. They are friendly." They then calm down. I then dismissed the smaller dragons and took mine to the stable roof. I guess that we got back just on time. Tomorrow is Cleopatra's Ball.
