''' Alert! You have set foot upon the Princess of Shade's city! '''

Quest Leader
Minka Collias, sightless daughter of Hades

Quest Giver
Apollo, god of healing and light

General Idea
Minka is sent on a quest to cure her sight - or be blind forever. But along with Apollo's message comes a warning from her stepmother Persephone, the queen of the Underworld: "Remember the cornfields." They later find out from Demeter that Persephone narrowly escaped from being tricked to eating a pomegranate that contained a sleeping potion that would send her to a comatose state for at least a hundred years. Undeterred, Minka and her fellow demigods follow the prophecy given to them to figure out on what is going on. They encounter Lyssa (goddess of anger and frenzy), Styx (goddess of the river Styx and hate), and finally Demeter (goddess of the harvest and Persephone's mother) as they work their way towards Nevada County.

Mostly based on Minka realizing that her anger and hatred towards Apollo has not completely faded, the other demigods also learn more than a thing or two that revenge isn't always the only answer.

Monsters

 * Three Laistrygonian giants just before meeting Lyssa upon entering LA
 * The Minotaur in New York
 * An exceptionally large Cyclops ambushes them in Sacramento
 * A large pack of hellhounds in the Underworld just after meeting with Styx
 * Two of the Gorgons in Burbank

Probably more to be added I DON:T KNWOIWEBIVFDIBEIWRFRVBEIQBQ.

End Game
Upon arrival in Nevada County, the questing demigods come upon a small cave where a glowing stone is embedded into the wall. But the quest isn't over just yet. Phobos appears, revealing that he had been the one to send the pomegranate to Persephone to try and stop her from warning Minka. He was a little miffed that his brother, Deimos, had a cabin in CHB, while he did not. They prepare for a fight. With the help of the child of Deimos, the demigods throw back Phobos' own attacks at him with the power of terror. The "remember the cornfields" warning by Persephone actually represented a memory of Minka's, when she stumbled upon a dying son of Phobos in a Kansas cornfield, back when she was headed for camp. Apparently Phobos held a grudge since Minka and her satyr didn't bother to try and heal the guy, ignoring the fact the Phobos demigod had suffered a fatal wound.

After Phobos runs away (typically....), Apollo appears and gives his rewards to the questing demigods.


 * Minka: Apollo has removed all passives from Minka's Amulet of Willpower. Now it's just ornamental. The stone turns out to be a moonstone from Artemis infused with Apollo's healing light. After Minka's blindness is cured, it loses the healing light and combines with the amulet to become a silver bracelet. Bracelet spews out durable strings woven out of pure moonlight. Can form into a capturing net or just strings for various reasons (mainly blunting attacks, so it's basically a shield sort of :D). Though durable, can easily be cut through using CB, and capture net has a cooldown to keep it from being OP. The normal strings though, are unlimited, but dissipate faster under sunlight.
