When I returned to my cabin, I decided to go with something more summer formal. I put on a red dress a pair of black biker gloves and boots. Getting dress was the easy part, but brushing my hair was the hard part. Julissa always had it so easy. I mean, as side from being a daughter of Aphrodite, she just knew how to do hair. I on the other hand, could careless about my appearance, even if it was for the new kid. . .

Finally finishing my rats nest of hair, I decided to head for the big house. When I arrived, everyone was ready. The pingpong table was crowded with more than eight-teen people around the table. Some had to sit a bit behind others. Luckily, Xero sat where he could be seen, which was a plus- in a way.

Chiron strutted in. He had acted in as Mr Dynimo, as Max had informed me, at the school that Xero used to attend so there was a twing of shock in his eyes when he saw him.

"Morning everyone." Chiron kindly announced gazing towards Xero. "I hope everyone had a good night's sleep. First order of business is to honor and welcome our newest addition, Xero, the son of Hades. He is to be treated as a hero, even as a child of Hades."

"The second order of business?" Max questioned.
"It appears that, Icaris, the storm giant, is here in the United States. We have also recieved word that, Persephone has vanished since last night."

"So it's happened?" Xero wondered. I gazed at him, unaware of what he was talking about. He took a few minutes staring at Tony playing with a ping pong ball. When his attwntion returned, he raised his head glancing back at the crowd of councilers hoping for an elaboration.

"What do you mean it happened?" I asked.
"I had a dream, of Icaris and his men. He said that he wanted to find me, and for some reason used the idea of capturing Persephone, if that's something he also said that Alyus and Otyus will challenge Max and You."

"This means, he's drawing you three out." Chrion strolled around trying to figure out a way to interperate the message. "It's never happened before, but this is good. At least we know what's happening. Alright, Xero you need to head for the Oracle's lair. Thalia will you take him?"

"Of course," I replied.
"Looks like this summer isn't going to be peaceful after all." Max mummbled. "After all the plans I made, now I gotta put them on hold. Just great."

"Look on the bright side." Xero commented. "At least we get to travel distant lands."
"For a child of Hades, you seem nicer. Or maybe it's just the idea of being a demigod?" He laughed.

"It's great to see you two having a budding bromance, but i think we should get the details first before we decide on going!" I responded.

"Thalia's right." Chiron added. "Demeter was in Virginia when they last lost contact. But it could be that Icaris captured her while she was asleep. If anything, finding Clorissa would help."

"Who's Clorissa?" Xero asked.
"She's a preistess, one that was blessed with the power of forethought by Prometheus. She was a demigod during the era of Percy Jackson, she was one of the youngest demigods, daughter of Demeter.She was rarly mentioned by the others." I explianed.

"Ok?" He replied even more confused.
Chiron sighed. "Find her and she will help you. She's a bit older now, and her days of being a preistess are over now, she's more of a traveling explorer."

"Understood." I smiled. With that the meeting was adgurned.
