Nathan and April went to talk to Chiron. They told him the story of the wolf Caleb and about their quest. Chiron thought that they are not ready to go to the underworld. He told them that they should be very careful with that. "We know it is dangerous but we can do this" said Nathan surely. Actually he wasn't very convinced in his words but he wanted to believe that everything will be fine. He gave them recent guidance and they went to talk to Argus. He was going to take them to the bus station where they were getting the bus to LA. When they got in Argus's van April just put on her headphones. She was listening to the music on her iPod and looking through the window all the way to New York. The wolf was sitting next to her. Nathan didn't want to listen to music. He was thinking about their quest and about April's reaction when he mentonied the Manticore. Why did she react like that? He was really curious but he didn't want to ask her again. Now they had to help Caleb so he tried to focus on their quest. It wasn't easy for him to arrange all his thoughts. The time just flew away for Nathan and they reached the bus station.
April was listening to Imagine Dragons on her iPod. Before getting in the van she had called her brother to go to the station. She hadn't seen him in a long time and she really needed that now. What if they were to die on that quest? She had to see her brother once more. She turned to Caleb who was sleeping curled up in a ball beside her. We'll help you, I promise. she thought. Suddenly Nathan touched her arm, she looked at him and took off her headphones. "We're here." he announced. They got off Argus' van and they took their bags with them. No one looked at Caleb, they were probably seeing a dog. Nathan and April entered the bus station with the wolf. "We have to buy tickets." they went to the information desk and decided Nathan will buy the tickets. April went looking for her brother. She found him instantly. Jason was sitting in one of the benches reading a book. Like if he felt his sister was near he looked around. When he saw her he ran over and hugged her tight. "Look at what the cat dragged in." he joked. "I've missed you so much!" April almost started crying. "Me too, dwarf." Nathan came back and he was surprised. Caleb was happy to see him and started playing with Jason. "Nathan this is my brother, Jason." April explained. "Nice to meet you." "Same." the boys shoke their hands. "I'll talk to him for a few minutes you take care of Caleb."
When they got to the station Nathan and April decided that Nathan will buy the tickets. He stood on the queue waiting for his turn. When he finally got the tickets he went looking for April. Nathan found her talking to a boy. He didn't know the guy so he felt a little jealous even though he didn't know much about April. He had just met her but he liked her. He would feel awkward if that was her boyfriend. "Nathan this is my brother Jason" said April and Nathan felt relieved. "Nice to meet you" said Nathan. "Same" replied her brother" and they shoke their hands. April wanted to talk to her brother in private so Nathan had to take care of Caleb. Nathan and Caleb went to sit on a bench. The wolf wasn't looking scary anymore, he even liked him. Nathan played with the wolf while April was talking to her brother. When their talk finished they went to Nathan and Caleb. April didn't want to say goodbye to her brother but she had to. The bus was leaving in fifteen minutes. She hugged her brother and Nathan picked up their bags. Nathan saw the sadness but he was powerless. After that Nathan, Caleb and April got on the bus.
"Who's he?" Jason asked. "When'd you meet him? Do you trust him? I don't know if I do. Where's Damian? I don't want you to leave your life in his hands.""He's from Camp and he's very nice, besides you know Damian doesn't like Caleb. And yes I trust him enough to go on a quest with him, don't worry about me." April explained crossing her arms in fornt of her chest.
"You're worried about yourself! Otherwise you wouldn't have called me." her borther knew her too well.
"You're right, but I have to do this for Caleb. He has saved us so many times." April took her brother's hand into her own hands. He looked at her very worried and she smiled at him. "I'll miss you." "Me too, and come back to me, do you hear me? Don't leave me like Vanessa." they hugged and talked more and finally they had to go back to Caleb and Nathan. Jason hugged her very tight for the last time and they said goodbye. Nathan smiled at her and the wolf licked her hand. "Let's go." she said trying to smile. The three of them got on the bus. In the bus Nathan and April talked about movies, books and music and without realising it hours had passed. April finally fell asleep because she was very tired.
In the bus Nathan and April talked about movies, books and music and without realising it hours had passed. April got tired and fell asleep. Nathan was tired too but all the thoughts didn't let him sleep. Usually he never cared about the consequences for his actions but now something different was happening. After a while he couldn't stay awake anymore and just fell asleep. Nathan hoped to talk to his father in his dream so he can give him a tip for the quest. But that didnt happen. Nathan hadn't talked to Apollo for a really long time. When he woke up he found out that they had almost got to LA. April and Caleb were still sleeping. The bus stopped at the station in LA and Nathan woke up his friends.
April's soul left her body. She was in LA but she was flying over the buildings. Suddenly she started to descend and she landed where the entrance of the Underworld was supposed to be. A tall fit woman was standing in front of her. "You cannot come here, my husband won't let you save the soul of that bastard." it was Persephone. "Bastard? What do you mean?" April got confused. "You'll see, but be careful. If you still wish to know about him and to save him go to Hecate. She's over there." the goddess pointed at a house on a green hill. Persephone got out a dagger and stabbed April on the palm. She woke up from the pain. The wolf also woke up and looked at her, Caleb started licking her palm and a symbol appeared. "She'll only see you this way." she heard the voice of Persephone in her head. She looked out the window and saw that they were in the middle of nothing so she fell asleep again.Nathan woke her up, they were in LA now. The teenagers and the wolf got off the bus. April told Nathan about her dream and she showed him the mark. He took her hand into his and she felt strange. His hands were really soft, he put a finger over her palm redrawing the symbol. A shiver passed over her whole body. She looked away. Caleb started running around in circles. April removed her hand. "Monsters." she said realizing why Caleb was so upset.
((Guys, just rp your part, don't rp for the other person as well))
Nathan stared looking for monsters around them but he couldn't see any. How could any monsters find them as soon as they get off the bus? Caleb started sniffing around for them. Nathan turned around and saw a beast right behind him. He couldn't take out his sword and the creature got him from behind. It was holding him tight and he couldn't escape . Nathan looked at April and saw another creature behind her trying to get her. "Look behind you!" he shouted at her.
Caleb jumped over the crature before she could have turned. He bit the arm of the beast and it started to move it around frenetically and the wolf with it. April took out her sword and jumped into battle. The creature was fast but it was also distracted so she stabbed it in the ribs. It turned to dust as she moved on to the next one. She knew she had to be careful because in a second things could turn around and it could kill Nathan. She looked around trying to come up with a plan. It obviously wants us both. If I could get Caleb to distract it again I could sneak behind it and kill it. It was like the wolf read her thoughts. Caleb looked at her and then he jumped over it. The beast fell grabbing Nathan even tightly while April was running behin it. "Good night." she said stabbin it in the foot. But this one didn't turn into dust. Right after she took her sword, the body of the monster turned into water and it formed again into another creature. Nathan still in it's grip.
Nathan was trying to get away from the creature but he couldn't. He was looking at April helpless while she was fighting. She definitely needed help. He finally got to his sword and pulled it out. Nathan jumped and stabbed the monster right in the head. That was the only way to kill it. Now they had to hurry up to Hecate's house before the next group of monsters find them. "Now where should we head to? I hope you know the right direction" he said to April.

The unknowing of your reliable friends won't last
But be carful because someone a dark spell shall cast
Upon you all, her untamed fury she will blast
One of you his friends will ferociously attack
The certain feelings and unforgettable memories he will lack
Fallen he'll rise again from the dark and come back
Something important leaving behind, the mirror of truth shall crack
One of you for the three will have to be brave
Or the goddess of justice will them enslave
The knowledge horrendous of all she shall crave
The fearless hero's soul you will courageously save.
