1. We Make Evil Puppies Explode
Arion: Sits and waits for the other questors.

Jillian: ''She sees Arion and jogs up to him with her backpack on her shoulders. ''Hey, I'm not late right?

Arion: Nope, you are probably just on time. We will just have to wait for the others.

Ichiro:comes by with his bag sorry for being late..

Arion: Hi, Ichiro. Now we'll just have to wait for Starla and Camelia.

Starla: She runs up to them  Nope, now it's just Camel-whats her name

Camelia: Runs up HalfBlood Hill It's Camelia, Glares at Starla

Arion: Stifles a laugh and retains his composure Any how, we have to get to New York City and take a train from there. What do you guys think?

Jillian: ''She nods and fails to hide her excited expression. ''Seems like a pretty good plan.

Camelia: Aye, lets go.

Arion: Okay.

They walk down the hill to the SUV waiting for them below.

Camelia: Umm, Arion, whats that? points towards a bush that moved

Arion: We have to keep moving.

Camelia: Walk turns to a jog

Arion: Places his left hand on the sword

Camelia: Draws sword and faces the bush whilst running

Ichiro:looks at the bush with his sword readily in his hands

''The questors could hear growls like that of a rabid dog but much louder. Suddenly, a massive dog the size of the SUV jumped out the bushes and the second shadow-travelled. Both of them snarled as they advanced on them.''

Camelia: Oh yipee, points sword towards them Come here little doggies!

Arion: Great. draws his sword and kept it firm on his hands.

One hellhound snarls and charges at Camelia.

Camelia: ''Screams like a girl but charges as well, when the hound lunges, she slides on the wet grass and sticks her sword up the belly of the beast, hoping to kill it. though now she has left herself vulnerable to the second hellhound. ''Arion? she stutters

Hellhound #1 vaporizes. The Hellhound #2 shadow-travelled and tries to pounce on Arion.

Arion: I got this one. puts the hellhound in a false state of peace, making it blind to any attack

Jillian: Sweet! I want to get a go! She sends a beam of plasma at it, hoping that it will severely burn the hellhound.

The hellhound yelped having burnt his back and its eyes now glaring like hellfire at Jillian.

Jillian: Oh shoot. ''Looks like she had an idea. ''Come and get me you hellhound! She runs off into another direction.

Arion: Jillian!! What are you doing?

The second hellhound snarled and shadow-travelled in order to outrun Jillian.

Jillian: I'm distracting it from Camelia! And I forgot that guy could shadow travel... ''She throws several stars and plasma beams at the hell hound. ''Care to help me anyone?

''The monster avoids all of Jillian's obstacles except the plasma beam. The hellhound stops shadow-travelling and charges at Jillian.''

Arion: runs after Jillian with his sword

Camelia: Is up and notices that Jillian is running towards the one of the SUVs, she stands and reaches out a hand, closes her eyes and concentrates on it Run to the car and hold your ground!

Starla: She stands in the SUV with her sword still in her hand. CAMEL! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!

Camelia: SUV begins to hover a few feet in the air, then 10

Starla: CAMEL! PUT ME F**KING BACK DOWN! She seems to be afraid of heights.

Camelia: SUV lowers to 5 feet, and turns so she tumbles off, beads of sweat begin to trickle down Camelias face, The Hellhound is attracted to Starlas screaming and begins to charge her

Starla: ''She notices the Hellhound and looks around trying to find the sword. When she finds it she picks it up and stands up shakily. She then raises it up prepared for the attack of the Hellhound. ''FUS RO DAHHHH!!!!!

Arion: sarcastically Hooray.

Camelia: Just before the monster hits her, the SUV hovering above her takes a dive forewards and comes into contact with the leaping hellhounds head, the monster explodes into yellow pwder and Camelia falls unconscious.

Starla: ''Her body flies 4 feet away from the explosion. Holy shit she sees Camelia who is lying on the floor. ''Yo guys Camel is hurt we gotta go save her! ''she runs over to Camelia. ''Are you okay?

Arion: Gets the med kit from his backpack Here give her a spoonful of ambrosia

Camelia: nuuhhhhh, eyes open Lets get to the van.

Jillian: ''She skates over to them with a nervous look in her eye. ''You sure?

Arion: She'll be fine, let's go, we have to get to the Grand Central station.

Jillian: ''She n'ervously nods. ''Alright then, if you say so... She slowly skates to the van before getting in.

Ichiro:turns his sword back to a watch and looks at camelia If you want I think I can heal a few of your wounds..

Camelia: I dont Have any wounds, just exhausted, you try to keep an SUV in the air with your mind.

Arion: He was just being nice. Anyway, let's get in the van before more hellhounds show up.

The questors get into the van which takes them to the rail station.

Camelia : So what train are we taking?

Arion: I don't know, let's take the Chicago train.

Camelia: Best idea yet

Questing group goes to Chicago via train

Camelia: Now what

Arion: Get some rest right now.

Starla: She bites her lips Oh my god, I'm so sorry but you know I could've finished that hellhound.

Camelia: well, when you have an SUV flying above your head, you need to throw it somewhere... Falls asleep with her head on Arions shoulder.

Arion: blushes and mutters .Awkward..

Ichiro:looks outside and ignores the rest

Jillian: ''She looks at Ichiro and tilts her head. ''Is anything wrong?

Ichiro:looks at jillian don't worry nothing's wrong as I just want to compare here to japan...

Jillian: Oh... ok then... she then places her head on her back pack, looking a bit tired.

Camelia: Mutters something about goldfish and sleeps

2. We Destroy Super Models
''After one hour, six fashion models get into the train. All of them have green hair, green eyes and green clothes. The tallest of them looked at the questors incredulously and sits behind them.''

Camelia: ''Wakes up suddenly, as she can sense when theres groups of people approching, looks at the models behind her. sighs at their hair colour ''Out of all the colours in the world, why green? she asks the models

Model #1: giggles Girls, look at her hair. points at Camelia Did you ask an ostrich to fix it for you or is that a wig? other girls started giggling

Camelia: I'm sorry that im too pretty for you so you insult me, but you'd be just the same if you just slept. whispers to Arion, they have so much metal on them, their legs, their arms, dont trust them

Ichiro:looks at the model and sighs Even cosplayer aren't as bad as them...he said to himself

Camelia: Right guys, lets get some food from the food cart, gives an enforcing look

Model #1: throws two nets each aiming at Camelia and Ichiro You ain't leaving.

'Arion: rushes after them but gets blocked by four models

Ichiro:sees the net so he quickly change his watch to a sword and cut the net in half So beauty really can kill here....

Camelia: Easily deflects the nets with the bit of CB in the nets and aims them at the monsters

''Suddenly, their appearances started to shatter and reveal their true forms. The Scythian Dracanae charges at Arion and the other two.''

Arion: slashes at the first dracanae/Model #6 blocking him.

Model/Dracanae #1: smiles at Ichiro You compliment me. she ducks Camelia's throws Now die, demigods! she charges at the two

Camelia: Focuses and makes her weapon fly out of her hands and levitates at the top of the train out of her reach

Model #1/Leader: shouts GRAB IT!!!!!

Model #2: lunges herself at Camelia

Camelia: Is taken by suprise, the sword falls to the ground and she sticks out her leg to kick model two hopefully square in the chest.

Model #2: hisses and backs away charging at Camelia with her spear

Arion: charges at the leader/Model #1 with his sword

Model #1/Leader: takes out her shield and caused the sword to clash against it

Camelia: Times her swing so that she hits the spear point, brings the sword down in an arc, so that the spear tip is on the floor with the sword on top, she steps on the spear hilt and it snaps in two.

Model #1/Leader: Charges Arion, raises her shield with sword ready.

Jillian: ''She finally wakes up and notices the creatures attacking. She quietly sneaks up behind one of them and sends a larger plasma beam on it.''

Model #3: flown backward and is terribly burnt You little...brat!!! lunges at her with her trident

Ichiro:Defend Jillian by blocks the model's attack with his sword

Model #3: her trident clashes with Ichiro's sword

Arion: charms Model #1's sword to be unusable for any offense and strikes at her when she was caught off-guard.

''Model #1 vaporizes and turns to dust. Leaving her net as spoils of war.''

Ichiro: sees what arion did so he grins as he uses his powers to make model 3 feel the pain of old age

Model #3: Sssssilly boy her snaky movements becomes slower I'll annihilate you!!! her shield drops to the ground

Ichiro:he smiles as he killed the model ok I'll be waiting then... Model #3 explodes to dust

Camelia:  Wait, where did the other 3 go? Faces where the models were sitting

Arion: I killed two of them. So..

Camelia: There was six of them...

Model #2/Dracanae: Die!!!! charges at Camelia with her shield

Camelia: she Camely lets the model charge at her,  But they cant've just dissapeared When she reaches her, she doesn't look, but she repels the dracanaes shield, sending the model and the shield flying into the wall at a high speed, (does she explode?)

The model disintegrates with only her shield remaining on the ground.

Jillian: Thanks for the save Ichiro... Maybe the models have ran for their lives or something...Hey this could be useful! She carefully picks up the shield.

Model #4: appears from another door and attacks the questors with her trident

Jillian: She sighs a little and mumbles I spoke too soon yet again... ''She blocks the attack with the shield. She then sends a plasma beam to her stomach when she's near her.''

Model #4: is flown backwards

Arion: kills her from the behind causing her to disintegrate Just one more dracaena.

Jillian: Yipee... now how do you find this creature...?

Ichiro:Shrugs I have no idea

Jillian: ''She sighs. ''Oh well... guess we have to wait...

Arion: The train is gonna arrive in Chicago in about thirty minutes.

Camelia: umm, i killed that model, that shield is technically mine... picks up net and tosses it to Arion and this one is yours.

Arion: Thank you. I seriously have no idea what to do with it.

Camelia: I could train you with that, i hunted in the mountains for all my life really, snares are pretty important for food.

Arion: You hunted in the mountains? sees a trident The train is going to stop in Chicago any minute now.

Camelia: i suppose thats yours too, but i dont think you'd want that, symbol of Poseidon and all

Arion: I think I'll leave it or give it Jillian.

Jillian: Okey dokes... oh, and your shield... she hands the shield over to Camelia.

Camelia: I was going to go to the armory for one later, but i guess this will do.

Train stops in Chicago

Arion: Let's get outta here before the dracanae kills us.

Jillian: ''She is already at the door with all her things. ''Going...

Arion: puts the net in his backpack which did not fit Watch out for a slithering, scaly model-snake.

Camelia: righto, leaves the train

Arion: leaves and walks to the entrance

Questing group heads to the bus station near the train station.

Jillian: So... where to now?

Arion: Let's take that bus. points at the bluish green one

Model #7: DIE!!!!! she screams

Ichiro:looks at the model and quickly change his watch into a sword hello

Camelia: Oh yipee, ''Summons the metal in her weapon to suddenly stick to the floor, not coming off the floor, leaving her unarmed. ''now run b*tch, before you end up like your friends.

Model #7: Foolish girl. I am the daughter of Athena cursed by Circe!!! hits Camelia's stomach with her fist

Camelia: Clearly sees that she was going to punch her, she grabs her fist and pulls her in the direction she was punching, she sidesteps so she doesn't get hit by her Come on, five v one, have a guess on who will win!

Jillian: ''She steps behind the model and sends a plasma beam at her back. ''Why hello to you too!

Model #7: sees that she was being outnumbered and smiles Fine...I give up. I may be a dracanae but I am not foolish.

Camelia: So we spare you for info, do you know anything about the necklace of Hamonia?

Model #7: Harmonia's necklace? Ha! It brought nothing but misfortune to my family. I've never ssssssseen it ever ssssince...I was eight maybe? My apologies, I have to leave. And daughter of Koiossssss, we may meet again sometimes in a more terrible ssssssituations. Your bus is leaving. she disappears back into the train station

Ichiro: looks at the model  thanks that was very helpful...looks at the rest of the questors so where to next??

Camelia: Releases the pressure from the weapon, how on earth did she forget her weapon? and where to next? the bus sherlock.

3. We Battle some Nazis
Questing group boards their bus towards the west.

Ichiro: looks out of the window

Camelia: Twirls the enemy's forgotten weapon, its a small spear that has an array of buttons along the hilt, all with a different sign on it, a lightning bolt, a net, a fire, a lyre, a shield, and many more.

Ichiro: turns to camelia Can I see the spear?

Arion: The dracanae said she was the daughter of Athena cursed by Circe and she didnt tell us the whereabouts of the necklace. Oh well, we'll have to get to San Francisco anyway we can.

Ichiro: looks at arion where is San Francisco?

Camelia: Its on the western bit, dont you know geography? Hands Ichiro the spear i dont think you should press the buttons, they might be... lethal...

Ichiro: Oh? takes the spear Hmm

Arion: Ok....I don't know where we are going but it looks like we are stopping at a graveyard.

Jillian: ''She looks slightly confused. ''Do you want me to ask the driver or something?

Ichiro: looks at arion why the graveyard?

Arion: I don't really know but..he looks at the graveyard on the top had the name "Mellie Noe" with the other words not clearly visible.

Jillian: ''She sees the graveyard and reads out the name before stiffening. ''Mellie Noe... Oh boy, I got a bad, make that ghostly, feeling about this...

Ichiro: looks closely at the graveyard Hmm is that name suppose to be a clue or something?

Jillian: Melli Noe sounds a lot like the goddess of ghosts, aka Melinoe... And this is a graveyard, where ghosts li- ''she shakes her head. ''Ugh, nevermind...

Arion: Let's get out of the bus, everyone has left.

Ichiro: nods I agree with you..

Camelia: Nein, but i guess we have to.

''Questing group gets off the bus. Suddenly, a woman persumably a teacher rushes at them.''

Teacher: What are you kids doing here? Get inside the graveyard or you all get F.

Camelia: Ill take an F please.

Jillian: But um... miss, we're not your students so, you kind of can't give us an F...

Arion: She's right.

Teacher: looks very angry Get in NOW!!!! returns to her cheerful self We already set tents, we have a campfire and marshmallows too.

Arion: You set camp in a graveyard?

Jillian: Oh, a camping trip - in a grave yard... Now that's, somehow, odd...

Camelia: Foooodd! walks into the graveyard.

Arion: Oh well, we are four miles away from civilization and it's evening twillight.

''They enter the graveyard which is shrouded in mist and cold gales blow relentlessly. The only light source they can see with is the campfire. ''

Camelia: Marches to the Camp Fire and sits down, her eyes seem disfocused.

Jillian: ''She sleepily walks up to Camelia, rubbing her eyes doing so. You alright there, she yawns ''Camelia?

Arion: hands the others roasted marshmallows

Camelia: Doesn't say anything and doesn't touch the marchmellows.

Arion: You okay?

Camelia: ''Stands up, she waves her hands over the fire and begin to chant. not english, but greek. She then moves towards one of the tombstones, with a large rock in hand. ''

Arion: Hey! walks after her and tries to stop her

An raspy eerie voice chants along with Camelia.

Camelia: Smashes the cover of a coffin, marches around with Arion trying to stop her, but she is moving and cant stop moving, no matter what he does.

''A man with covered with a cloak leviates out of the coffin. He had skeletal hands with eyes bulging out of its sockets. His expression was merciless, sadistic like a serial killer.''



Ghost #2: In a German accent My gratitude for freeing me, sister.

Camelia (possesed): in the same german accent The pleasure is mine dear brother

Arion: Wait..what? draws his sword  Who are you?

Ghost #2: he possesses Arion's sword turning it intangible Demigods?

Camelia (possesed): I am afraid so, we must dispose of them. shall we begin or summon more?

Arion: Ok...can I get my sword back?

Ghost #2: possesses Arion's sword and attack him

Arion: Jill? Starla? Ichiro? HELP!!!

Camelia (possesed): You have always tried the direct approach brother, very well, but we will not fail this time! Takes out her shield and sword and begins to walk towards the group

Arion: he charms his weapon into not being used in any combat, the sword drops to the ground

Ghost #2: Very well.. comes out of the sword, he telekinetically blast fiery marshmallows at Arion and the others

Camelia (possesed): ''begins chanting again, this time in german. begins to walk towards other coffins.''

Jillian: ''She comes running to Arion with her dagger, blocking the fiery marshmallow with a shield of stars. ''What the heck happened here?

Arion: We are attacked by ghosts and one of them possessed Camelia.

Ghost #2: Possesses an owl then attacks Jillian.

Jillian: Oh great... now ghosts are attacking us... ''she manages to dodge one of the attacks. ''Hey, just wondering, those ghosts are dead right? she continues to try and dodge the attacks.

Camelia (Possesed): Picks up a large stone, and smashes open 2 more coffins.

Ghost #3 and #4: Free!!!!

Arion: steps behind Camelia and throws the net at her trapping her.

Ghost #2/Owl: We are Eidolones, possessing the living! That foolish child of Melinoe managed to trap us in the tombs but no longer, we are free!!

Arion: mutters a prayer Melinoe, the goddess of ghosts bless my and my companions' strikes..please.

Ghost #3: tries to possess Arion but fails to as his sword repels the ghost

Jillian: Ugh, how do we beat these guys? ''she continues to try and dodge ghost 2's attacks. She also sends an intense plasma beam at it. ''And I thought owls were friendly animals...

Arion: sets a block of wood with its tip burning Unless they are possessed by a demon ghost.

Jillian: Brilliant! Now our chances of winning has now dropped... ''she turns to Arion. ''What on earth are you doing?

Arion: waves the burning stick at the owl, the owl drops unconscious while the spirit escapes from his body See.

Jillian: Oh cool! Wait, where'd the spirit went off to?

Camelia (possesed): Notices that they are released and runs back away from them, hurling her stone at another coffin on the way.

Ghost 5: Silently leaves his tomb, hovers very high, then attacks 'and attempts to posess the fireless Ichiro.

Ghost #2: disappears and attempts to possess Jillian.

Arion: captures Camelia with his net.

Camelia (possesed): is captured, she begins screaming and thrashing around in the net.

Arion: grabs the firewood and tries to free he from the spirit's grasp while using his powers to calm her down

''Starla: She draws out her sword and slashes Ghost #2. He is slightly weakened. ''GET OUT OF 'ER YA STUPID BEAST!

Camelia: Gah! ''Spirit flies out her mouth. 'looks dazed for a sec, then falls on the floor.''

Ghost #2: Ugh!!!! Child of Aidoneus! he vanishes for a short while before possessing a hawk perching the forest

Ichiro: looks at the hawk but then goes to camelia hey are you ok?

Ghost #2: attacks Ichiro as a hawk

Ichiro: change his watch to a sword and blocks the attack do you have a problem demigods or something?

Ghost #2/Hawk: Why do hellhounds want to kill demigods? or the Scythian Dracanae or even a Hydra. We want to destroy you. as a hawk he flies down and scratches Ichiro with his talons

Jillian: ''She comes to the hawk with another burning stick and a rock. ''And why do you have to be so annoying? she accurately throws the rock at the hawk, hitting it on the stomach.

Ichiro: looks at jillian thanks...

Jillian: No problemo... just hold on there little hawkie... ''she waves the burning stick over the hawk, making it unconcious and the ghost leaves the body. ''

''A figure stood the edge of the graveyard. It floats towards the questors and the Eidolones. As it got closer, it reveals a slim and beautiful yet frightful woman part white and part dark. She was followed a few ghosts. She used her powers to freeze all of them making them (both questors and the ghosts) unable to move. ''

Ichiro: was unable to move but he tried to see the woman's face

Jillian: already jumped at the woman's sudden appearance, but it freezes her a foot above the ground.

Ichiro: tries to move

Jillian: She mentally sighs and hopelessly tries to move, or to get down.

Melinoe: Do not struggle with my bonds, children of Hebe and Asteria. I am Melinoe, the goddess of ghosts, why are you here? SPEAK! Melinoe grants Jillian the ability to speak.

Jillian: Well it's sort of a long story lady Melinoe... but if I'm not mistaken, we're supposed to get a necklace of some sort... maybe you should ask Arion since he knows more about it..

Melinoe: Fine.'' frees Jillian from her bonds and turns to Arion. She grants him the ability to speak''. Speak!

Arion: We..we...are..on a qu...quest to find the Necklace of Harmonia..nia.

Melinoe: Harmonia and her ridiculous plans...fine, frees the demigods from their bonds and removes Camelia from the net looks like you might need some help. glances at the Eidolones

Ghost #2: La..Lady..Melinoe..we can explain..

Melinoe: Her stare intensfies You and your Phasma have caused too much problems. she transforms them into ghostly wolves like the others beside her I have the permission to detain you by my mother.

Arion: Wait...why did you come here anyways?

Melinoe: I didn't come here to save you and your companions from the Eidolones. I haunt the travellers and capture ghosts to bring them back to the underworld. And if you want my counsel, son of Harmonia, go to Kansas City, that's where Zephyrus and his sons sometimes go.

Arion: What?

Melinoe: My time is up. I must leave...she disappears back into the fog.

Ichiro: looks at arion looks like we have a clue

Jillian: ''She falls back to the ground. ''Ouch... I mean, agreed...

Camelia: Is still lying on the ground unconouis, mutters something about wombats

Arion: Yup, wakes Camelia, Camelia...Camelia..you okay?

Camelia: What happened?

Arion: Let's just say ghosts possessed you and you began to speak German. Then, a goddess came and blast the ghosts into a million pieces.

Camelia: Right... go into more detail later. So, where do we go on the quest now?

Arion: Kansas, the Wheat State. For some reason, Melinoe told me to find..Zeppelin or something.

Camelia: Well once again, better than nothing.

4. We Ride Horses to Frisco
Morning arrives after the questors slept

Arion: Well.....we'll just have to hitch a ride from a truck or so.

Ichiro: looks at arion with a sleepy face ok I guess...

Jillian: ''She perkily skates over to them. ''Morning folks! So, just to clear it up, we're going to Kansas right?

Arion: Morning guys. And yes, Jillian..we are. We just need to wave and scream at a truck to get there.

Jillian: Alright... then, I officially have no clue how to get the truck but, oh well... ''she waves her hand, trying to get any of the driver's attention. ''

Arion: tries to make a sign and waves

Camelia: walks along the road making a thumbs up sign with her hand.

''A truck rushes by ignoring them. Then soon, two or more trucks rushed by.''

Arion: Great....

Ichiro: looks at the truck that ignored them Hmm...

Arion: Any brilliant ideas?

Jillian: ''She stops to get the driver's attention before she sighs and turns to Arion. ''Well, I got an idea but it's a little, uh... bleh... yeah that's it, bleh...

Arion: looks at her quizzically

Camelia: Or... we could force a truck to stop like this... When the next truck passes, she grabs the metal with her mind and slows the truck down, making it stop in front of them.

Jillian: ''She mumbles about something better than taxi rides before she tilts her head at Camelia. ''Is that even legal? Oh look a pretty flower! ''she runs to the said flower before pouting. ''Aww shucks... it's a fake...

Arion: reads the truck's sign a fruit truck? walks to the truck with the others

Truck Driver: Howdy folks.

Arion: We need to get to Wichita, are you going there?

Truck Driver: Wait a sec, sonny.

Arion: We're waiting.....

Camelia: We dont have "a sec" this is rather urgent, please?

Starla: She makes big puppy eyes Please?

Truck Driver: Strange...my schedule was changed. Fine...I will take you to Wichita and don't eat the fruit!

Starla: She hugs the driver Oh thank you so so much. I promise on the behalf on ALL of us that we won't. Right guys?

Jillian: ''She nods like mad. ''Yup! We promise!

Truck Driver: Right...right. Well then get in.

Ichiro: sigh as he got in

Truck Driver: You kids do know its gonna take about three days.

Jillian: She frowns slightly and whispers to the questors, Do we even have that amount of time left?

Camelia: Any better idea?

Ichiro: shrugs I dont we have a choice but looks at arionits your choice...

Arion: There is another route though it might take 11 hours.

Truck Driver: smiles You are smart, son. What's that you suggest?

Arion: You'll take us southward, into Missouri then to Wichita.

Truck Driver: Great suggestion but I'll try. Darn those GPS things.

Camelia: Alright! Jumps into the truck

12 hours passes

Truck Driver: Here, we are sonny in the Central Riverside Park.

Arion: Thank you.

Truck Driver: Don't mention it, what are you doing here without adult supervision?

Camelia: I think a couple of sixteen year olds can handle themselves.

Jillian: And I think that sixteen year olds already count as 'adults' so... yeah...

Truck Driver: Cuz, you look like you just came from Maryland to here.

Arion: Ok..whatever. Let's go guys.

''They walk into the Riverside Park. The park is grassy with tall trees. The questors can see the river even from far away. They could see a few building and other than that, horses grazing. As the questors came, the horses disapppear like a flash and a man rushed after the horses only to bump into the questors.''

Jillian: Whoa there mister... are you alright?

The Man: smiles Sorry, kids. You guys alright? ''the man was tall, blond and had an expression which looked like it could melt the hearts of girls and even guys alike. He radiated the essence of springtime itself. The ground he stood on was blooming with fragrant flowers.''

Ichiro: looks at the man Hmm you look familiar

Camelia: Actually, i feel a lot better. But how did those horses just dissapear?

Zephyrus: Sorry, let me introduce myself, I am Zephyrus.

Arion: There ya go, Ichiro.

Zephyrus: And to answer your question, child of Koios, those were Balius and Xanthus, the divine horses and my sons.

Ichiro: looks at the man with a blur face ok..

Arion: Are those horses fast?

Zephyrus: What are you on a quest? Yes, of course they are fast, as wind itself.

Arion: Cool! Can we take them?

Zephyrus: Maybe, there's a catch though. If you can tame and ride them, I'll let you have them. If you have them, bring them back to me before sunset.

Camelia: So how would we catch them?

Arion: grins We have a net. Remember?

Ichiro: looks at arion looks like we have a plan..

Arion: Yup, now let's catch some horses.

Zephyrus: Well then, I am off to flirt some girls, and guys, good luck, I guess.

Arion: sighs Are you guys ready? unsheathes his sword

Ichiro: change his watch into a sword  as ready as ever

Camelia: Takes out her shield and sword, Right, so how would we catch them again? Set up the net as a snare?

Arion: We'll throw the net when the horse gets near us. If someone could get him to us...

Camelia: Lets hope they have metal on them.

Arion: Ok.

''One of the horses dashes by the questors and grazes on the grass near them. The horse was blond, majestic and had a body of pure white.''

Arion: Now's our chance.slowly walks towards the horse

Starla: Hmmm, we're just gonna hurt them if we throw it on them. she mutters to herself, but follows Arion anyway

The horse, ignorant comes closer near the questors.Th

Jillian: She tilts her head confusingly at the horse, she then grabs an apple from her backpack and slowly walks towards it.

The horse sniffs and comes closer to Jillian.

Jillian: ''She freezes for a second. ''There there uh, horsie... we won't hurt you... we're uh, nice people...

The other horse with a black mane appears on the other side near Camelia, Starla and Ichiro.

The Horse near Jillian: Me like apples!

Arion: Ok.....hides his net from the horse near Jillian

Jillian: ''She slowly but surely hands the apple to the horse, looking a bit scared. ''There you go... don't bite me...

The Horse near Jillian: Noms the apple

Arion: grabs the net and throws it on the hors e

The Horse (in the net): struggles UGHH!!!!! You foolish brat, I am Xanthus, an immortal horse, son of Zephyrus and a harpy. I'll crush you with my feet and what do you have??

Arion: A group of misfits and a smaller ego.

Starla: she gasps Wow, you're gorgeous! she turns to Arion How could you trap such a beauty?!

Xanthos: What do you want??????? My power of prophecy???

Arion: Fine''. frees Xanthos from his net''

Xanthos: Thank you, girl. glares at Arion.

Arion: If we bring you back to Zephyrus, we could ride you and your brother to San Francisco.

''Another horse scales past them in a gust of wind. ''

Jillian: ''She jumps, somewhat shocked. ''Whoa! Was that another horse?

Arion: Judging by your expression, yes, it was.

Starla: Horsie! Could you please come here?

Balius: glared and whinnied angrily at Starla and Arion

Starla: We're not gonna throw a net over you! I promise! Arion won't do that anymore!

Balius: he calms. Sacre Bleu, Xanthos. Were you that dumb?

Xanthos: Looks annoyed Shut it bro, you are not French.

Arion: Look, we have to bring you back to Zephyrus so can we go?

Xanthos: Ha, I can see your future clearly.

Arion: I don't need to know right now that and now can we please go?

Camelia: We'll give you more apples once were done! gives an encouraging look

Balius: Mademoiselle, of course we shall accept.

Arion: Great, can we go now?

Xanthos: Well then......

Camelia: Thank you! Hugs Xanthos

Zephyrus appears out of nowhere with a bouquet of roses and a tuxedo.

Zephyrus: Congratulations. And thank you, questors for all your help to tame my sons. And son of Harmonia, do not capture them in a net. The last time who did that..well..let's just say he was heavily mutilated and trampled.

Arion: Can we ride them now to San Francisco?

Zephyrus: Yes of course and good luck, questors. he smiles before disappearing back into the wind

Starla: ''She walks over to Balius and strokes his neck, she hugs him then turns to Arion. ''Yeah, that's why you never ever ever trap horses in a net.

Balius: Ja!

Starla: so each of us pick a horse now. I think I'm gonna go with Balius.

Ichiro: looks around and sigh  I guess I'll ride any horse that takes me..

Jillian: Same here...

Camelia: Xanthos, may i have this ride?
