HAZEL

I was instantly confused. The last time I heard of Chicago was when Jason, Leo, and Piper went there on Festus, and when I still lived in New Orleans with my mom. Chicago wasn't a very important topic to me at that time, but I heard about it's numbers of 'gangsters' and such. Since then it hasn't been that important to me until now.

"First of all, why is there a mist sealing off Chicago?" Annabeth inquisitively asked, "If there was mist wouldn't Jason, Piper and Leo have seen it?"

Piper nodded, "I agree, I didn't see anything at all."

"The Mist was created during the war between Camp Jupiter and Camp Half Blood. There were some demigods that were consumed by the bloodlust and rage to keep fighting. The Olympians soon decided that these half bloods would be sent to a secluded place to protect both of the camps. With the help of Hecate, the Olympians created a 'alternate' Chicago existing with the actual one. The Mist makes it invisible from the demigods and the humans. Which is why those three wouldn't have noticed it. It is the most powerful existing Mist in the world.

"Over time, the demigods in the new Chicago have made peace and have split into five 'factions'. Now, the Mist is beginning to break and once it is completely destroyed even more destruction will come from it. Imagine another Chicago appearing in the middle of Chicago. You can only imagine the calamity of what may happen." Chiron explained.

It made a lot of sense. I pictured that Chicago will not only be destroyed but the areas around it will.

Jason spoke up, "Now that we know this, what do you want us to do?"

Chiron answered, "I'm going to assign the seven of you a quest to go to Chicago and find out why the Mist is breaking and fix it. Though I must warn you, humans have gotten inside the mist before so you cannot reveal you're a demigod, it's dangerous. I think the best way for you to find the problem is to blend in with the population and see what you can do from there. Young half bloods, do you accept the quest?"

We all pondered it for a moment. The task was risky since we're dealing with humans and possibly half bloods which inherited the anger and warlike emotions from their ancestors. Though if we didn't then there would be a greater risk of the Mist completely falling apart and doing only gods know what would happen.

"I accept." I said.

"Me too." Leo agreed as he smiled at me with Cheese Nips in his teeth.

The rest of the demigods accepted soon afterward. "Tomorrow I'll have Argus drive you to Brooklyn, from there you will need to find transportation to Chicago. I wish you luck on your journey. The two camps and the secrecy of Olympus depend on you." Chiron last said.

We stood up. Percy and Annabeth were in deep conversation. Jason was silently glaring at Percy before he left. Leo was finishing off the Cheese Nips and Frank was standing alone.

I walked over to Frank, "Are you ready for tomorrow big guy?"

He smiled warmly at me, "I think so. I wonder what this Chicago is like."

"It's probably like the one right now." I replied quickly.

"I hope. I better head back to the Ares cabin. Clarisse challenged me to hand to hand combat." He said.

I waved as he left. Afterward I headed back to the Hades cabin and packed some Nectar, clothes, snacks, water, and a bronze knife. The day at Camp Half Blood was beginning to end, tomorrow we will likely be in Chicago.
