I love the open sky. The wind blows hard against the ship as we cut through the air. It was good for when the three of us wanted to talk above deck but oh well. I take in the crisp air as the Argo II flies through the cool skies. The ship creaks lightly as the body shifts a bit as if the ship was going through water. “Hey Eliza!” One of the guys calls out, “Don’t stand so close the edge.”I turn with a chuckle seeing Alec watching me with some worry, and I step down to help him feel better, and walk up to him so I can be heard above the wind that crashes against us, “I’m not going to fall of the edge.”There’s some color in Alec’s cheeks probably from the chilly wind up here,“Still I’d rather -”

“Yo ‘Liza!” Dave shouts out from the helm. I turn to him making my way towards the helm, “What’s up?” I shout back.“I think we have an Iris message below deck you wanna check it out?”
“Sure!” I shout and head below deck.
Alec comes up behind me as the roar of the wind above deck clears as we go below deck, “Can I join you?” He asks.

“Sure I don’t mind.” I look around and go toward the Captian’s cabin for the rainbow and Alec finds it close to the window. Alec wipes hand in front of it as to open it and there shimmered a face that I recognized, “Reyna?” Alec says, squinting a bit.“Fantastic you already know who I am. I assume you’re the captain of this ship?” She asked. Alec puffed his chest out slightly as I started to walk over, “Yes, yes I am.” He said.
‘Chiron said that you guys were looking for demi-titans and I didn’t remember who he said was on the ship and-” Reyna frowned slightly as i came into view on the message, squinting through the rainbow, “Eliza? You’re onboard?”
“Yup.” I reply.
“You know Reyna?” Alec asks.
I look up at him, “Yup.”
“Good cause we really need you guys here.” Reyna replies.“What’s up?”
“Just- when can you get here?”
“Well we’re kinda-” Alec starts,

“Put it on hold,” Reyna interrupts, “We’ve captured one of them. We’ve captured a rouge demititan.”

Alec, Dave and I sit at the table discussing what happened, “She seems pretty frazzled about it." I say, “Reyna is pretty on top of things.”
“But you said they captured a demititian.” Dave says a bit defensive on that part on one of his kind being imprisoned or maybe it was something else.
“We don't know the specifics.” I offer.
“She said just to come.” Alec added.
“All we can do is hear them out on the imprisonment thing.” I say, “But the fact they have one of the demititans makes it all the easier, they could’ve been in a mortal prison and I don’t have contacts like I do in Camp Jupiter so I guess we better be grateful.”
Dave nodded, “I guess you’re right.” He stood up, “I’ll go set the coordinates.” And he left.

I look over at Alec and exchange glances with him and wonder about Dave.

We arrive a few hours later at a dock on the river. I’m greeted by smiles and hugs and one face stands out in the crowd as I walk on the dock from the plank, “I can’t believe you came!” I smile and hug my best friend Seth. I know he doesn’t particularly like hugs but he allows me one for greeting. He gives me a hug back and I smile up at him and he smiles back, “Didn’t expect you back so soon.”
I chuckle as I take a couple steps back, “Didn’t expect to be back so soon.”He smiles, “So what’s up with my favorite Apollo girl?”
“Well-” I turn as Alec and Dave come down the plank, “I’m here with my friends Alec, Son of Ares, and David, Son of Selene.”
“It’s Dave!” Dave says in response while Alec only seems to narrow his eyes at Seth.
“Guys this is my best friend Seth, Son of Jupiter.” I introduce Seth and he hold out his hand to Alec and Alec gives him a nice handshake then steps back, “Nice to meet you.” Seth says. Alec nods, “You too.” Seth then shakes Dave’s hand, “Son of Selene? Who is she?”
"Greek titaness of the Moon.” He replies plainly.
“Oh yeah!” Seth says, “Cool to meet ya hope you’ve been taken good care of Eliza here.”
Alec started to say something but Reyna comes up, “I realize Eliza you’ like to catch up but Captain,” She says to Alec, “We need to get down business.” and motions them to follow.
