I'm sorry to bother you but I need your aid again. You see, I've sent one of my torchbearing nymphs, Makayla to deliver a message to one of my demigod children in Italy. She was on her way home when she was ambushed by Scythian Dracaenae and plans on serving her for dinner in a matter of days. I need you and 4 other demigods to rescue her for me as she has been loyal to me for thousands of years. She's currently in an abandoned train station in Madrid, Spain. As to how you'll get there, I've already arranged matters with a son of Hephaestus who lives in Room 17, 2F, Westerville Apartments, Upper East Side, Manhattan. His name is Cain and he'll take you there on his private plane and back. Good luck, my son.
-Hecate
Morgan VanHala and 4 other demigods will travel to Madrid, Spain in order to rescue Makayla, one of Hecate's Torchbearing Nymphs. They will get a ride from Cain, a Son Of Hephaestus who lives in Manhattan with a bunch of "travelers" who paid Cain a high price just to ride his plane as all the planes available in the airport has already been fully-booked. The "travelers" turns out to be a family of manticores and attacks them, causing the plane to crash on an uncharted island in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. They will be attacked by two Chimeras who live in the island before meeting a son of Poseidon, fishing nearby. He gladly offers the group a ride to Madrid. Cain leaves them as they arrive as he has other matter to attend to. They proceed to the abandoned train station and fights a dozen Scythian Dracaenae before ultimately saving Makayla. Morgan and Makayla combine their magic powers to arrive at New York. They rent a cab to take them to camp but faces the last challenge, a bunch of Anemoi Thuellai who can't get into camp and feasts on the demigods instead. They beat them and come back to camp.
The questors will meet here and rents a cab to take them to Cain's apartment.

They will talk to Cain, Son of Hephaestus to give them a ride to Madrid, Spain.
NY Airport[]
Cain own's his own runway/landing strip here as he is a rich businessman. They ride in his plane along with a family of "travelers" who turns out to be monsters.
Cain's Plane, Sky[]
The family of "travelers" reveal their true form as manticores and attack them. The commotion disrupts the plane causing it to crash on an uncharted island.
Uncharted Island, North Atlantic Ocean[]
They will be found by two chimeras who live in the island and attack them. They will defeat the chimera and finds a son of Poseidon, fishing in the area. He offers them a ride in his boat to Madrid, Spain.
Madrid, Spain[]
Cain books a plane for him to go home to NYC as he has other matters to attend to. The questers find the abandoned train station and defeats the 12 Scythian Dracaenae. They rescue Makayla and uses her magical power along with Morgan to teleport them back to NY. (They didn't use this before to get to Spain as this takes a lot of magical power and Morgan can't do it alone. Also, the reason why they only got to NYC and not directly to Camp is because their magical power isn't sufficient enough to make it there.
New York City[]
They will rent a cab to take them to Camp.
Long Island[]
They will be ambushed by a group of Anemoi Thuellai who can't get into camp. After a long time of fighting, they finally defeat them and proceed safely to Camp.
Morgan: He climbs up half-blood hill, his knapsack slung over his back. He patiently waits for the others.
Jake: He enters Morgan's sight wearing all black, white, and grey. He has his black and grey backpack slung on his back as he runs up to Morgan Hope Im not late--He sees only Morgan there* Yea, I'm not. The name's Jake. You?
Reena: She arrives not long later, wearing a simple green shirt and jeans. She has a small backpack in her hands. She approaches the two, rather unsurely. Are you two part of the quest as well?
Morgan: He looks at Jake Morgan. He turns to Reena Yup, I'm Morgan, son of Hecate, the quest leader.
Chase: He walks towards them one minute after Reena Er, am I late? You guys part of the quest too?
Dash: He jogs atop the hill and goes to where the others are I'm not late, am I? Sorry. Just some stuff to take care about. He pats his bag
Morgan: He looks at everyone. Well, it looks like everyone is hear. Let's go then. We're off to Manhattan first where we shall talk to a son of Hephaestus who would gladly give us a ride to Spain.
Reena: She raises her hand, like a diligent student in school, and asks her question. In riding to Spain, will we take a plane or boat or some other means of traveling?
Morgan: He turns to Reena. We'll be going by plane that Cain built himself. You see, he's super rich and he owns his own portion of the airport.
Jake: He looks excited for the quest as he held his backpack strap So, what are we waiting for then?
Morgan: He nods. Time to go guys.
Morgan leads them down the hill and into the road. He hails a taxi and gets into the shotgun seat. The others follow and sits on the back.
Westerville Apartments, Upper East Side, Manhattan[]
Morgan: He pays the driver with mortal money and gets out of the cab.
Dash: He looks strangely at Morgan like he's totally nuts Where are we going and what are we doing? I signed up for a quest. I dunno what that is. Like seriously. Sorry if I'm coming out a bit rude. This Demigod stuff has just sunken in.
Chase: He also gets out of the cab and takes in his sights >.<
Reena: She steps out of the cab before slinging her backpack behind her back. She turns to Morgan. Where will we meet that guy you were talking of earlier?
Jake: He gets out of the cab and his eyes pretty much wander around. He looks from the building to building as he holds his backpack's strap. I don't think I've been to this area yet
Chase: He looks at Jake, eyebrows raised Dude, are you saying you've never been to Manhattan before?
Morgan: He's up in the second floor guys. Let's go. He walks inside.
They take the elevator to the second floor and walks until they are in front of room 87. Morgan knocks on the door.
Chase: He taps his feet as he waits with them..
Reena: She leans on the wall, opposite the door, vaguely wondering what the son of Hephaestus looks like.
Dash: He stands up, putting his weight on his right foot You guys do know who lives here, right?
Cain: He leisurely opens the door, his salt and pepper hair properly waxed. He is wearing a black suit & tie, as if he's going to a meeting. Well well, demigods I presume? You must be the group of questors mistress Hecate sent. I'm Cain Bolton, president of Bolton Industries and resident child of Hephaestus. He extends his arm for a shake.
Morgan: He shakes his hand. A pleasure to meet you Sir Bolton. I'm Morgan VanHala, child of Hecate. We're here for um, the plane ride?
Cain: Ah yes, right. Well, is it okay if I take another group of travelers with us on the plane? They did pay me quite a good price just to get to Spain as all of the planes on the airport have already been 'fully-booked'.
Morgan: Oh no sir, we do not mind. He glances at his questmates. Right guys?
Reena: She pushes herself from the wall and nods at Morgan. I don't mind at all.
Chase: He tilts his head for a moment before replying Ditto to her. He points at Reena
Jake: He shakes his head Hey, they do say 'The more the merrier,' right? He gives an assuring smile to Cain
Cain: He smiles back at Jake. Okay then. Let's roll.
Cain leads them into his limousine and tells the driver to drive them to the airport. They soon got off and boarded his plane. Cain took the pilot's seat and the engines whirred to life. They soon took off.
Sky, Cain's Plane[]
Morgan: He notices the family making strange noises but shrugs it off. He puts on his headphones and started taking a nap.
Jake: He simply follows Morgan, but doesn't take a nap since he still looks completely energetic and psyched.
Chase: He gets slightly uncomfortable with that other family and looks out at the window from his seat (which is next to the window >.<) to distract himself.
Reena: She, too, notices the strange noises made by the other family but opts to ignore it. She leans back on her chair, which was situated right beside Chase's, and takes out her notebook, writing random words in its pages.
Morgan: Morgan suddenly gets a vision from his mother, telling him that the other family or monsters. He suddenly bolts upright, breathing heavily. He looks at the family behind them which now turned into their full form without noise. MONSTERS!
Jake: He looks like he's been electricuted by his seat, which was really Morgan's voice. He takes off the seat belt and looks back to agree with Morgan's words. He takes off his platinum chain bracelet and holds it with both hands on each end, ready to summon his swords.
Chase: His face is like O.O and then he takes his seat belt of and grabs his bag from his back. He takes out two throwing knives
Two manticores snarls at the sight of celestial bronze. They both send a flurry of spikes towards Chase and Jake.
Reena: Having been right beside Chase, she moves out of the way of the spikes, all while flipping to a few pages where she had previously wrote names of weapons. She reads out one word, 'dagger'. Almost immediately, a celestial bronze dagger appears in her hand.
One manticore extends it's wings and flies over Reena and lands behind her. It extends it's scorpion tail and attempted to stab her.
Jake: Out of impulse, he ducks in his seat to dodge the spikes. He summons his swords and transform them into bow and CB arrows. He gets up from position and fires an arrow, hoping it will hit the monster before ducking again
Reena: She narrowly avoided the manticore's tail by jumping into one of the plane's seats. She swung her dagger into a wide arc, aiming to cut the manticore's tail as soon as it jabbed at her again.
The manticore easily parried Jake's arrow with it's tail and runs toward him, attempting to bite at his neck.
The other manticore's tail was slashed off by Reena and became a spoil of war. It pounces at her.
Chase: He aims his first knife at one of the manticores hopefully accurate enough and then throws it at it.
Reena: Since she was standing on one of the airplane's chairs, she had no other way of avoiding the manticore other than claiming the chair's back rest which she decided against. She then meets the manticore half-way, planning on stabbing the it in the chest with her dagger as best as she could.
The knife thrown by Chase lodges itself on a manticore's torso which dissipates into dust the moment it gained contact. Reena took the other manticore by surprise and gets stabbed on the chest. It crumbles into dust which showered over Reena, covering her.
Morgan: Incantation: Shower of Celestial Blades! A rune like object appeared above two manticores and showered celestial bronze kunais above them.
The manticores roared in pain as they disspate into dust. The last manticore snarls at them and flies over to the pilot's room, trying to kill Cain. Cain loses control causing the plane to spun and turn around. It crashed in the shallow parts of the North Atlantic Ocean, an island nearby.
Uncharted Island, North Atlantic Ocean[]
Reena: She groans a bit having been thrown forward by the impact of the plane crashing and landing painfully on the isle. She gets up slowly, using the chair beside her as an anchor. It seems a few the windows were broken, allowing water from the ocean to spill into the plane. Lucky for her, she was on the higher end of the plane so the water barely reached her.
Jake: He still looks unconscious until he is awoken by water. Unsure whether it is a splash or simple droplets, he wakes up to see Reena far away from him. He only sees her, so far.
Dash: After him being quiet the whole time because he wasn't really talked to or replied to and an unfortunate incident in the Manticore fight where he was swished by the manticore aside before even the fight started and him hitting his head with a hard impact on the metal, he wakes up somehow keeping his head afloat in the water but his whole body is immersed in the cold Ocean. His left foot is somehow tied up with a plane seatbelt.
Chase: He wakes up by the coolness of the ocean, groaning and manages to get up a little by holding onto some broken part of the plane that was afloat.
Reena: She wades carefully into the water, trying to get towards Dash so that she could help him.
Jake: He pushes himself up from the sand, ignoring the waves that splash towards him. From an upright position, he sees Reena going towards Dash. He then decides to go towards Chase.
Chase: He spots Jake coming towards him, he's still holding that part of the plane, so he's deciding whether he should let go of it or keep it
Dash: He is helped by Reena and is finally free, he looks around for someone needing help, he swims exhaustingly to Jake who in turn is helping Chase.
Reena: She swims over towards the others, shivering because of the cold water. Anyone see Morgan?
Dash: He turns to Reena. No. He must be still inside the plane.
Chase: He swims back to them along with Jake, then he looks around and calls out Morgan? Where are you?
Jake: He looks around for where Morgan might be while staying close to the team.
Reena: She walks along the shore, looking for Morgan but keeping in sight of the others.
Dash: He dives and resurfaces a few minutes as he's not a son of Poseidon He's not down there. He swims to shore
Morgan: Smoke suddenly rises up from a nearby island. Morgan is sitting on the sand, stoking the fire, Cain by his side. He stands up, looks over to the wreckage and waves his hands. Guys! I'm over here with Cain!
Dash: He sighs But...you...here, how did you? Wait, you would've seen and heard us shouting and going, practically, nuts because we were finding you, right?
Jake: He sighs in relief Well, at least they're ok..He moves towards Morgan and Cain
Reena: She walks back to the guys, hearing the commotion. She was about to ask what was going on when she saw Morgan. Oh... that's where he was.
Jake: Everyone alright?he turns to each and everyone of them to be sure of their condition
Chase: He checks his hands and legs I'm good.
Reena: Other than being somewhat cold, I'm fine.
Dash: Yeah. It's cool.
Everyone soon gathered around the island, building a temporary campsite, scavenging for stuff that could be useful and looking for food. The night soon came and when all of em are asleep, two Chimeras appeared from the forest and roared so loud the ground shook.
Dash: Whoa! What are those?! He says as he unsheaths his dagger. He is obviously shaken up.
Reena: The roar of the chimeras immediately woke her up and she reached for her notebook and pen, which she had found floating in the water earlier on. Those are Chimeras.
Jake: He transforms his chained necklace into a sword as he looks around for another asset he could use. He stays hidden from the chimera's sight as well
Chase: He searches his pockets but doesn't find his two throwing knives anywhere Darn He crouches on the ground, looking as if he'll be ready to pounce.
Reena: Rethinking her choice of weapons, she tucks away her notebook and wills her bow and arrows to appear. She immediately notches in an arrow but waits for the Chimeras to pounce.
Dash: He shuffles around and gets into a few meters away from the Chimaeras I assume they're poisonous and uber-dangerous?
Jake: He turns to Dash with a nod
Reena: She glances at Dash before keeping an eye on the Chimeras again. Uber-dangerous is pushing it. there are other monsters which are far more dangerous, you know. Seeing one of the Chimeras turn it's head towards their group, she lets loose the arrow which was on her bow, aiming at the monster's eye.
Chase: He groans I dread the ones you claim more dangerous. He takes a few cautious steps back
Dash: He sighs and twists his neck back and forth This is gonna take a lot of work.
Reena: After shooting her first arrow, she glances at the others before getting another arrow. Do you guys have any intention of attacking?
Dash: He looks at Reena and thinks that he should just attack, He runs to the Chimaera with the arrow on it'sflank.
Chimera 1: The Chimera breathes fire, causing the arrow to burn before touching it's eye.
Chimera 2: Another Chimera breathes fire at them.
Morgan: He takes his wand out. Duck Reena! Duck! Incantatem: Ignis flatus! His wand spew out a large blast of fire which countered the Chimera's.
Reena: Upon hearing Morgan's command, she immediately dropped to the floor, avoiding the fire.
Dash: After not hearing Morgan, fire torches his right arm, he screams in pain but charges at the Chimaera
Chase: As the others are battling the chimeras, he finds a bunch of stones nearby and runs to them, grabbing a few in his hands and throws them at one of the chimeras then.
Chimera 1: He roars so loud that it would blow Dash away.
Chimera 2: He gets hit by few of the stones thrown by Chase. He would grunt and blow fire at him.
Reena: She stands again once the fire from Morgan's wand was extinguished. She moves to the side, in case Morgans wants to try another spell. She takes aim once again and begins shooting continuous arrows at the first Chimera.
Morgan: Good job Reena! Just distract it and keep it occupied. He moves to the other side of the chimera, opposite of Reena and opens his palm, mutters something and three gigantic CB harpoon shoots from it aimed at the Chimera's torso. He kneels down on the ground as it drained considerable amount of his energy.
Dash: He stops a bit and shakes his head off. Woah! Shake that off...shake that off. As the harpoons are distracting the Chimaera, Dash circles around the Chimaera and flicks his knife along the Chimaera's side.
The first Chimera howls in pain as Reena's arrows, Morgan's harpoons and Dash's knife clashes with it's skin, reaping it's flesh. He dissipates into dust soon after.
Chimera 2: It roars at the sight of it's comrade's downfall and flies to their temporary campsite, destroying everything.
Jake: Since he had already been situated away from the others, he was able to catch up with the chimera more. He then stops himself as he quickly raises his bow and arrows. He aims for the chimera's belly, since he is underneath. He then makes the chimera terrorized with fear by projecting it into its mind, trying his best to confused and stop it. While doing so, he lets three arrows fly across the field towards the chimera
Chase: He'd duck earlier from the chimera's fire, so he gets up, with a few remaining stones, he throws at the last chimera, aiming at his eye mainly.
Chimera 2: It stopped thrashing the camp for a few moments, thanks to Jake's power. The Chimera stepped back a few times, as though to get away from what it was seeing. jake's arrows managed to pierce its side at the same time that Chase's rocks hit it on the head. Unfortuantely, this caused the Chimera to snap out of it's trance. It roared once before breathing fire towards Jake and swiping it's paw at Chase.
Dash: He runs towards the second Chimaera, his knife raised to attack.
Jake: As the chimera had stopped thrashing, he had already moved a bit out of its sight. Once it breathe fire, he was successfully able to jump and roll out of the way. He then summons a shadowy figure composed of the chimera's fear on top of it, trying to annoy the chimera as he again tries for another shot.
Chimera 2: Having noticed the shadowy presence above it, the Chimera breathes fire on the shadow, trying to eliminate it. Fortunately for the questors, the Chimera had momentarily forgotten about them in it's moment of fear, leaving it open to their attacks.
Chase: He ducks away from the chimera's paw but felt it scraping his shoulder, but he ignores it and steps a few feet to the left, further from the chimera and throws the last of his stones at the chimera's eye. His legs and hands are shaking already too, and he nearly dropped one of his stones at a point.
Reena: While the Chimera seemed to be distracted, she shot arrows into its right side and it's right legs in an attempt to immobilize it.
Morgan: With the last bits of his energy, he sends a bolt of lightning using one of his custom-made spells.
Chimera 2: The chimera howls in agony as the attacks hits him all at the same time. Thanks to Reena's CB arrows, he explodes into dust.
Morgan: He manages to smile at the sight of the chimera's explosion to dust. However, it falters quickly as he falls down on the ground and passes out as he used his energy greatly.
Dash: He stops abruptly as the Chimaera explodes, getting his front side covered in monster dust YUCK! Monster dust! >.<
Reena: She could only smile in amusement at Dash's exclamation before willing her weapons to disappear.
Chase: He wipes his hand over the side of his face that is now covered in dust after the explosion of the chimera. Well...
Jake: He looks around for everyone's physical well-being before dusting himself as well.
The next day....
Morgan: He wakes up and yawns. Urgghh. He then stands up and stretches. This is the first moment he woke up since the Chimera attack last night.
Jake: He looks at Morgan, glad he's now awake. Hey man, you feeling better?
Morgan: He turns his head to Jake. Fortunately, yes.
Chase: He sits up and stretches, blinking and looking around trying to remember where he is.
Reena: She groans at the sound of their voices and tries to return to her sleep.
Chase: He notices Reena and nudges her gently with his hand. Come on, we got to get up.
Jake: Looking normally, he doesn't inform his fellow questors what he has been doing, more on worrying, last night. Nevertheless, he work up early and got himself prepared.
Reena: With yet another groan, she sits up, her eyes half-lidded with sleep. She yawns a bit before proceeding to simply watching the others.
Jake: He gets disturbed to watch Reena watching him. He grabs two apples, the ones he picked early morn, and casually approaches Reena. He takes a bite on one, then extends the other towards her. Mind if I sit here?
Reena: She shakes her head, indicating that she didn't at all mind. Quietly, she plucked the other apple from Jake's hand and took a bite from it. "Thanks for this," she says, all while motioning to the apple in her hand.
Jake: He sits before her while gnawing on his own apple. He looks around, waiting for the rest to get ready. Not usually being the quiet one, he decides to waste time by engaging in a short conversation. Had a good sleep?
Reena: She continues munching on her apple, swallowing first before answering. "I've had better nights..."
Jake: True to that. Nightmare? He takes a few more bites on the nearly finished apple.
Reena: She chuckles and shakes her head. "Nothing of the sort. I just prefer a nice soft bed to the hard ground."
Jake: We should get this quest over as soon as possible.
Reena: she nods in agreement. "The sooner, the better."
Morgan: Well then, you guys pick up your stuff, we're heading on to the other end of the island. See if we can find anything that could get us out of here.
Reena: She nods and packs her things quickly, having only used her sleeping bag. Soon enough, she's standing beside her stuff, chewing her apple from earlier on.
Jake: Waking up earlier than most, he had already packed his stuff. He nods towards Morgan and stands up to his pack. He places it over his back. On your signal, prez
Chase: He has his stuff packed as well, it's slung over his back as he glances at the rest of them.
Dash: He rolls from a good night's sleep and wakes up with his face on the sand. His mouth basically full of the stuff.
Jake: He looks at Dash, who is newly woken up. He gives a o_o face. In any way, do you need help?
Dash: He wakes up, spits a handful of sand and wipes his mouth No. No.. I'm perfectly fine. He brushes his hair with his hands.
Chase: He walks over to stand next to Jake and glances at Dash with raised eyebrows. Morning.. sandman.
Jake: He chokes on a chuckle and embarrassingly gives a smile.
