Now that the groups have joined together, it is time to carry out their mission! First stop: Egypt. After reuniting on the Argo II, Liz must lead her team of mortals, demigods, and magicians alike to the Ancient Lands, a place that has brought nothing but trouble to any of their kinds. First, they must make it across the Atlantic, which seems to have something personal against them. Then, the questers must approach Heracles for permission into the Mediterranean Sea once more, along with an awkward encounter with an old friend... They then must seize control of Egypt and spread their hold throughout all of Africa, turning them into an army with magically endless supplies. Will the mortals let them take over? And just who will be left in charge as the team moves on?
