(that's okay :) it's sounds a lot funner than what I'm doing during my spring break!)
(ya so I just caught up hang on.)Philia sat watching in the Temple of the Forgotten.
She was watching a young boy battle a monster, and debating if she should go help or not, although he seemed to be handling it fairly well. There was also a girl there, and Philia felt the affection between them both very strongly. She felt a twinge of sadness. She remembered when she had been forgotten and found this place. She had felt so heartbroken and alone, that for the first several weeks in the temple, all she could do was cry. And that was where she meet Lieon, the forgotten guardian of Tartus. He had been so kind to her, unlike Hades, and very understanding. After a few months of their friendship, of running, laughing and joking, he caught her crying again and had held her against him, rocking her softly back and forth.
"What's wrong?" he whispered.
"I don't know," Philia had answered. "I feel so heartbroken inside." She had choked on the words. "Lieon, how could everyone forget about me?"
Then he had pressed his lips to her forehead and murmured, "I could never forget about you."
She knew right then how much she loved him. But then, only a few days later, Hades had made an appearance when Philia and Lieon were in the field, having a picnic. He demanded that his son come back to the Underworld and resume his post at the gates of Tartus.
"Please, Lieon, let me come with you," Philia had begged.
He had shook her hand gently off his arm. "I couldn't ever condemn you to that," he whispered. "You don't deserve that. You deserve to be happy."
"I will be happy with you," she tried to tell him.
"I'm sorry," was all he had said, and left without looking at her.
Her heart had never fully mended after that. She had tried many times to go to Tartus, but she didn't know the way into the Underworld.
Now, looking at how the girl looked at that boy made her smile, as she remembered how she was once in love like that.
Suddenly she saw the boy scream and fall, being struck by the monster in the waist, his sword clattering to the ground. The girl screamed as well. "PERCY!" she yelled, which must have been his name.
Philia jumped up from her seat, then sat back down. What could she do? She was the goddess of friendship and kindness, not skill in fighting. She was so kindhearted she probably couldn't even punch anything that was evil. She needed a darker goddess of the forgotten.
She ran straight to Eve, the goddess of trickery and temptation. "Eve, please," she said, dragging her friend to the window seat and pointing out the window, " we have to help them!"
Eve scoffed. "Your kind heart has made you foolish."
"But, Eve, the boy could die!!!"
"And what do we care about that? This boy is exactly the kind of person who forgets about goddesses like us."
"Eve, you can't possibly mean that!" Philia said, shocked.
"Oh, darling, I'm afraid I do," said Eve. "He is just one boy! Why is his life worth saving?"
Because that girl is in love with him, Philia thought. And no one deserves a heartbreak like that.
But she didn't tell Eve that.
Philla didn't care what Eve thought. She was going to help these demigods.
*******************************************************
Percy's first thought was to get the monster away from Annabeth. He knew he was fading fast, but he couldn't let the creature hurt his girlfriend.
"Hey, ugly!" he shouted. "Come and get me!" The monster turned and advanced towards him, slowly and evily.
Percy could hear Annabeth screaming distantly, but he didn't care. He couldn't move his body, he couldn't do anything. Then suddenly the monster turned when a rock hit it in the face.
A beautiful girl about eighteen years old with dark brown hair and startling green eyes stood behind the monster, holding a rock.
She smiled. "I have to agree with the boy," she said. "You are very ugly." And with that, she threw another rock.
(okay so here is a mini plan for Philia. I thought it would be awesome if Annabeth and Percy met the forgottens and vowed to help them be remembered again. Then, Nico is in trouble or something, and Percy, Philia, and Annabeth go to help him in the Underworld, Percy and Annabeth knowing nothing about Philia's past with Lieon. Then they hear footsteps when they are about to save Nico, and Lieon appears and then it goes sort of like this.
Lieon's face went very white when he saw them, and his sword clanged to the ground. Philia turned and froze, her eyes on him.
"Philia?" he whispered, his voice raw.
"Lieon?" she whispered back, and suddenly ran to him. He caught her in an embrace and held her tightly against him, tears running down his face and hers.
"Oh Philia, it's you, it's really you!" he choked.
"You remember me," she said.
"How could I ever forget you?" he demanded, grabbing her face to turn to his. His eyes drank in the sight of her like water. "You're still as beautiful as I remember."
Philia made a noise that sounded like a half gasp half sob, and threw her arms around his neck. Lieon tilted her chin and kissed her, with such passion he could have burned Tartus to the ground right there without a care in the world.
You guys like?
Okay I am done. Told ya I would edit it!! :) )
(love the idea :))
The monster gagged up golden dust and soon coughed up thousands of golden pieces so the pretty girl, Percy and Annabeth were covered in it like confetti.

Soon the entire sky was alight with the beautiful rainbow and the monster was completely gone.
Percy thought he was going to be sick, though. Out all the questions he could have asked, he asked plainly, "Who are you?"

"Don't cry, little demigod. I am your friend and a friend to all. You must come with me to the Temple of Forgotten. My fellow Forgottens will want to meet you. Eve, Julikiana, Melanaigis, Selene, Metallon..."
"Wait. You said your name is Philia. Out of all the scrolls and books I've read about the gods, I've never heard of you," Annabeth said, back to her normal self.

Sadly Phillia shook her head "That's because I am a forgotten goddess and so are all the rest of the Council"
(Sorry guys!!!! I was on vacation then I got the stomach flu :( uve all done a lot and its super awesome!!!!)
(hope you're feeling better!)
"Wait. Back it up," Percy said, confused. "Forgotten gods and goddesses? So like the gods of old stuff? Like ancient Greek language and scrolls old?"
"Wait. Back it up," Percy said, confused. "Forgotten gods and goddesses? So like the gods of old stuff? Like ancient Greek language and scrolls old?"
Phillia let out a soft laugh "Yes Percy those kind of Gods and Goddesses"
Meanwhile Annabeth had on her look that usually meant she was either thinking very hard or she was coming up with another name to make fun of Percy with. Percy hoped it wasn't the latter.
(And yes i am thx :))

( sorry did something not make sense?)
"So we're just supposed to follow you to who-knows-where because your a goddess of the Forgotten?" Annabeth finally said, crossing her arms in front of her.
Philia smiled. "of course not, young one," she said gently.
"Annabeth," Percy said, his eyes darting around as if to say "this might be our last chance. Don't blow it!".
"Fine," Annabeth forced a smile. "Prove it, first, lady."
"Fine," Annabeth forced a smile. "Prove it, first, lady."
(how in the world do you follow this? i don't know what to write for this part! you guys are super good:))
(welcome stephanie :) my name is Sarah :) and really dont worry have fun with it release ur inner writer and who cares what other ppl think :))
where a normal god or goddess would have fried Percy to a crisp Phillia only laughed and said "Id love too but dont expect too much because part of being a forgotten is that I dont have much power left so you won't be getting any fireworks"
(thanks! i joined sometime in febuaray or march..just saying)
(no problem and come one u do the next post :))
(sorry just say that..how about this?)Percy got up as Phillia worked on Annebeth. When she was done she lead them to the Temple of the Forgotten.
(how do they get there?)
(night :))
***********************************************************************
Rachel sprinted into the woods after Nico. It was late afternoon and the air was getting chilly. She only had on a camp t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops, but still she ran on.
"Nico!" she cried.
They had almost reached a small stream when Nico took out a small device from his aviator jacket pocket. It looked like a phone, but Rachel had never seen Nico with one before since they were bad for demigods. As she squinted, she could make out the symbol of Nemesis (a pie with one wedge cut out).
"To the goddess of redress
of whom my half of myself is by possessed
transport me by night
so that no one will see my flight...
To the gates of Tartarus in Erebus, the Underworld, " he said into the phone-like device.
Instantly, an opened black door appeared in the woods. It's powerful force sucked in the branches of the trees around it and caused the wind forcefully blow.
"Nico...NO!!!" she tried again. Where was Piper when Rachel needed her?
Just a couple more steps and Nico would be gone... maybe forever.
Nico advanced into the door with a tranced expression, but Rachel was almost there.
Come on, Rachel! Just a couple more feet
But Nico was already in the doorway. Rachel dived, surprisingly grabbing his hand.
Nico looked at her. Where one dark eye used to be, was a red iris with a piece cut out marking Nico as Nemesis's.
"No," Rachel whispered. Nico shook from her grasp and she fell back as the door shut. The black door was gone just as Nico was.
But Rachel, looking down in her hands, still had a little bit of Nico. His skull ring had came off his finger and now was in her possession.

Wow Cara that was..... amazing.
(I know you are all dying to know more about Philia... lol jk. I will do a scene from her memory in the morning so be prepared. BTW awesome job guys!!!!)
(do you guys like Philia and Lieon? Or is that weird?)
Philia pushed through the trees with the boy and the girl. The girl, she had figured out, was named Annabeth, and the boy was named Percy. Percy was carrying Annabeth, who had collapsed from exhaustion a few miles back and was now sleeping peacefully. Percy didn't seem to mind carrying her even if he was cut and bruised.Again, this gave Philia another flashback of Lieon. This flashback was of the picnic, the night he left. Philia felt tears growing in the back of her eyes but she let the memory come.....
"Okay, Phil. We're here now." Lieon uncovered her eyes with his hands and smiled. "How do you like it?"
They were on top of a hill, looking down at the crystal blue water that sparkled like diamonds. And lying on the grass was a blanket and a picnic basket.
"Oh, Lieon!" Philia said excitedly. "We are having a picnic!"
Lieon's smile grew wider as he led her over to the blanket. He pulled her down onto the blanket with him, and opened up the basket, which was full of-
"Chocolate covered strawberries, mmmm!" Philia exclaimed.
"Your favorite kind," added Lieon.
"Oh, thank you."
Lieon nodded and popped one into his mouth. "Delicous."
Philia tried one and nodded. "Mmmhhm."
"Philia, you have chocolate on your shirt," Lieon said.
"What?" Philia said, and as she looked down Lieon moved his finger up to flick her nose.
"Hey!" she protested, laughing.
He laughed too. "Gets you every time."
Philia smiled at that. "So, that's why you did this picnic. So you could poke my nose again?"
His smile faded. "No, Phil. I came to tell you something."
Her smile faded at that. She felt a knot forming at the pit of her stomach.
He looked at the blanket. "Phil, you've been here for a few years now. And I just.... I just...." The words caught in his throat.
Philia knew what came next. He was telling her goodbye. She couldn't help the tears that spilled over her cheeks. He looked up, startled.
"Phil?" He said in shock.
"You're telling me goodbye, aren't you?" Philia asked, looking at the blanket.
"What?" Now he was bewildered.
"I knew it. They told me I couldn't and shouldn't fall in love with you because gods and goddesses live forever and that you wouldn't love me forever. I guess I knew in my heart that you couldn't, I am just the goddess of kindness and friendship, and-"
"Philia." He took her chin and forced it up so she was looking right into his eyes. "Love is the most powerful force in the whole world. I've seen it start wars and shape the greatest empires on Earth. Love doesn't wither, it doesn't break, and it most certainly doesn't fade. I will love you forever until I die, and even in what comes next after that." He moved his lips to her forehead. "And even if they call you just the friendship goddess, it's okay, because that's who I love. It's you, and all the good things and the flaws that come with you."
He moved his lips away from her forhead to kiss her on the lips, but suddenly a voice boomed.
"Why, son. I am glad to see you are doing well."
Lieon whipped around, startled. "Father?" He gasped.
Philia looked at Hades. He was dressed in black robes, and his eyes could be penetrating her skull if they wanted too.
"Yes, son."
"But, what are you doing here?"
"I see you have joined the pitous Forbidden gang," Hades began. At this, Lieon snapped into motion and moved protectively infront of Philia.
"Including this sad, forgotten girl." Hades guestured to Philia. It is indeed sad that you have fallen for her, because she is nothing, and I have greatness planned for you."
Lieon's hands tightened in anger at his words, and Philia tried to hold them to soothe him. He squeezed reasuringly, but didn't keep his eyes off his father.
"And what are these plans?" he asked.
"I need you to come back and be the guardian of Tartus once more," said Hades.
Lieon's hands clenched against Philia's, and she knew now that she would loose him. Hades was a great and powerful Olympian, and Lieon had to do as he wished. Her body shook with sorrow.
Lieon felt her body shaking and shook her hands out of his, pulling them infront of him once again.
"I'm not leaving here," he said through clenched teeth.
"I'm afraid you have to, or I will tell the other Olympians about your Forgotten friends here," Hades threatened.
Lieon paled. His hands shook.
"Lieon, no, please," Philia begged him, her voice breaking.
"I have to do this, Phil." He didn't look at her.
"Lieon. Please!"
But it was too late, and then he was gone, forever.
(I am back ~! So do we want Rachel to tell Jason and Piper about Nico?)
(I think so since Jason and Piper did try to help find Nico so I guess theyre part of that problem too)
(oh thx. Ur so sweet!)
(i don't know what to write because that was so good!)
(You guys write too much!!!! how am i supposed to keep up?!)
(where to next? I was thinking that Nico's ring had some kind of power... not sure what though)
(how about the ring lets you go to where ever Nico is and maybe can do some other stuff so jason, rachel, and maybe piper or someone else go down to the underworld and try to save Nico)
(yea like it gives you Underworld powers or a least the power to be in the Underworld and not die. Maybe seeing/sensing the death and taking charge of the dead since Nico is the Ghost King too)
(What if it somehow had the ability to help him get his powers back, but only allowed other to GET to the underworld, not posses other powers?)
(ohh i like that! and maybe it can help free him and maybe they find the nermies kid and make a deal with nermies and hades to get nicos godly half back and let the nermies kid have a second chance at life)
(like that too :), nemesis? maybe trade with a false ring for powers since the ring has powers)
(goddess of revenge...i don't know how to spell her name)
((I'm gonna continue the story.))
Piper stood in the middle of the strawberry fields, thinking. If I were a son of the God of the Dead where would I be? She thought. She hadn't seen Nico all morning and was starting to get nervous. Where was Rachel? Now that Piper thought about it, she hadn't seen her either.

((ooooooooh. that's nemesis))
(oooh. i feel like a baka now)
(Greek names are hard to spell!)
As if Rachel heard her, she entered from the woods. Rachel looked like she had been crying, but her head drooped so Piper wasn't so sure.

Rachel didn't respond. She just sat down in the strawberry patch, pulling on the leaves.
"Rachel?" Piper says walking over to her.
