Objective
Find more information about Pagos and Lilith in Sydney, Australia, the place Althea intuitively decided would be vital to the fight against Pagos, and, in addition, would be farthest away from the Broken Covenant joined affairs.



Quest
Althea walks up to the Pine Tree, holding her iPad, on it a guide of Sydney.

Liam: Hey, here. ...So, if I got this right, a camper went missing and wants us to go on a possible wild goose chase about some Pagos guy?

Althea: Er, to put it lightly, I'm afraid so. I'm Althea Bellecourt, daughter of Boreas.

Liam: Liam, Liam Anderson, son of Prometheus. Nice to meet you.

Caelo:'' Caelo steps out of the shadows of the surrounding trees, having been there the entire time. He says nothing at first, staying silent and nodding 'hello' to each member of the team''.

''Sheila comes running up to the rest of them. Her hair flies all over the place, and on her left hand is a woven basket, covered with a cloth.''

Sheila: ''Pulls the hair out of her face, and beams. ''Hi guys! Sheila Carter, daughter of Demeter, lovely to meet all of you!

Liam: He nods at Caelo and Sheila with a small smileץNice to meet you too, Sheila, I'm Liam.

Sheila: So. Australia, huh? I've heard its beautiful.. She trails off, attempting to make light conversation

A vehicle pulls up, ready to take the group to the airport.

Althea: That one's for us. Let's go on. Enters the van.

Sheila: puts her basket carefully into the van, before gingerly stepping in

Liam: Climbs in after Sheila.

Caelo:'' Caelo sighs and steps into the van, muttering about how they could have used a Jeep wrangler instead. He smiles darkly and relaxes in his seat, making himself "at home".''

Sheila: So when we reach, does anyone have any ideas on where to start searching?

At that time the van started up and started on its way to the airport.

Althea: I tried surfing the net for any leads on where Lilith may have been in Sydney... anyone else have internet handy?

Liam: I always pack a Mac with me. ''Searches in his small duffle and pulls out a MacBook Air. ''What should I search? "What hotel did Lilith stay at"?

Sheila: I seriously doubt she'd stay at a hotel, using her real name.....Perhaps she used an Alias? Even so- it makes it harder for us to track her. I suggest we go to places of interest, ad ask civillians if they've seen her around. We could pretend that we're on some school trip or something, and we've lost a member. Thats just my idea, though.

Althea: I seriously doubt that Lilith would walk around without a disguise. And there are tourists everywhere, renewing day by day. So unless Lilith was there then it wouldn't work.As such, it would never work. Speaks up. Maybe we could visit the opera house.

Caelo: This Pagos guy... he's probably got spies all over the place. We'll have to watch out.

Liam: Well, how exactly do you expect us to get into the opera house? Not only do we have to watch out for Pagos, but won't it seem a bit suspicious if a group of teens is snooping around the opera house, with no guardian or legit explanation?

Sheila: Getting in isn't a problem, we just need to book tickets. Goes on her iPhone and taps the screen.How does Phantom of the opera sound?

Caelo: Caelo sighs, rolling his eyes at the thought of going to see an opera.

Althea: Sheila, I have some ties at the opera house, we should be able to enter without tickets... Did we get tickets to Sydney? If you guys would like, I can try to arrange a private jet for us to take instead of a regular one. Should speed things along.

Sheila: Oh, why thanks Althea ''Smiles. ''I was worried of spending too much mortal money....My brother would kill me. And good call with the Jet, we can't waste too much time.

''After a while, they reach the airport. An employee of Althea's jet leads them to the Jet through an exclusive path. The jet appears very luxurious, with silver walls with alice blue patterns. The whole jet appears to be colored in the same manner. The jet has a very comfortable setting, consisting of a lounge area with plush couches, LED televisions, coffee tables and a hot tub, a sleeping area with wide chairs that also turn into beds (with each seat its own mini television), an eating area, and finally a luxorious bathroom at the end. Butlers seem to be at very corner, coming in and out of the spacy employee area in the front of the plane.''

Althea: ''She sits down on one of the chairs and motions them to have a seat as well. '' I'm glad we didn't have to go through the obnoxious public security paths. By the way, if any one of you would like something from the duty free, just give one of the employees a product number, it's on me. I'm glad they didn't bring one of the larger planes over. The smaller the aircraft, the faster we get there.

Sheila: Her eyes widen and puts her basket next to her seat. I agree, ''pulls up the cover of the basket to reveal two twin axes and some other things. ''If the security found these, we'd be....well, in jail. This is a very nice Jet....to herself I wonder what the big ones are like....

Althea: We should probably take some things with us... After sending me to camp, my mother made sure that wherever I am, I would have the proper equipment. She walks over to the end of the sleeping area, steps one time with her left foot, twice with her right and three times with her left over the spot of floor.

''The floor in front of her opens to reveal large amounts of ambrosia, nectar, medical help supplies, and most impressively, weapons made of every material useful for demigods. There are also a few mortal weapons with the bunch.''

Sheila: I have these'' Shows her basket, which contains small golden eggs. ''These eggs have ambrosia, laid by the chicken I was gifted from my mother, Demeter. I have loads of these in my basket, incase we need some. They look like normal eggs to mortals, so it's perfect.

Liam: Whoa.... He looks around the jet, then at the weapons, picking up a sword, tossing it from hand to hand, then putting it down and doing the same with another one. This is way better than what's my definition of an airplane...so, I suppose we should start mapping out where we'll search in the opera house, right?

Caelo: I'm all set with weapons''. He shows everyone his array of sword and knives, carefully hidden or tucked away. He removes his leather jacket, then leans back, reclining his seat.'' So how long till Sydney? I'm starved.

Althea: Once the plane sets out, we'll have about 22 hours until we get there. As for food, once they tell us we can get up after we rise, you could eat all you'd like at the eating area or just ask the butlers to bring something over.

''A butler comes over and tells Althea in perfect French to tell the rest to sit down, and she translates it to the rest. As they do, the plane sets out for Sydney. After 25 minutes or so, another butler comes and tells them they can now get up and do as they wish through the same proccess. They then pass the 22 hour flight, doing all they please to to do. Once they land, they again pass through a secluded passage, from which they get their duty free purchases and their luggage. A limousine driver with a sign reading "Mademoiselle Bellecourt" waits for them outside the passport.''

Althea: She motions the group to follow her towards the driver. Salut, Alexandre! Ça fait longtemps qu'on ne s'est pas vu. S'il vous plaît nous emmener à l'opéra?

The driver, apparently named Alexandre, nods and then leads them to a large white limousine.

Althea: Gets inside and sits down.

Caelo: ''Caelo scoffs throughout the whole process while glaring at mortal, scaring the hell out of them. He chuckles as he joins Althea in the limo''. To... the opera house. Yay.

Sheila: Oh don't sound so bleak about it, Caelo, we're gonna be on the lookout for clues. The opera itself is just an excuse to get into it.

Liam:  And besides, it's not everyday you get to see an opera in Sydney, at the Sydney Opera House.

Althea: Caelo, I'd rather you not do that. Alexandre is our favourite driver, and a good friend of the family's. He's actually the son of two demigods, though he's powerless.

Caelo: Caelo smiles. Althea, isn't that what makes thing interesting? But, if you want... Caelo sighs... I'll leave him alone. So uh... where is this place?

Althea: We're almost there. It's actually right by the shore.

A few minutes later, the limousine stops by the opera house.

Althea: Before we go in to the opera, we should change into formal clothing, due to the opera's dress code. I've brought us all tuxedos and dresses, as well as jewelry and accessories so we can blend in. My friend August can bring us to the dressing rooms, usually intended for the actors, but as they're already dressed, she'll let it slip. Her father owns the opera house. She's actually a daughter of Apollo's. ''She brings Caelo and Liam proper and luxurious tuxedos, and Sheila a beautiful green dress. Each are accompanied by various accessories. She brings a light blue dress for herself. ''The employees will help you fit if you have any trouble.

''As they walk towards the opera house entrance, and a tall, dark skinned girl, with hazel eyes and long hair in dreadlocks greets them. She's dressed in a black dress and golden jewelry and shoes.''

August: Althea! She runs towards her and hugs her tightly.

Althea: She hugs August back. I missed you so much, August! Guys, this is August. August, meet she starts pointing at them, saying their names, Sheila, Caelo and Liam. They're demigods from camp.

August: Nice to meet you all! In about 30 minutes, Macbeth is coming on. We should probably get started.

August leads them through a side entrance and into a corridor with several room with doors that have stars on them.

Caelo: ''Caelo walks rather stiffly, grumbling about wearing formal attire. He laughs as he looks at the rest of the group''. So guys, what's the plan? We obviously can't just plop ourselves down and watch the play. We need to look around; therefore, we need excuses to get up and move.
