Carmen's POV-

"Let's go back to Camp!" I say to everyone.

"We can't," Hunter says. "We have to drop this off to Ares."

I face palm myself. "Duh," I say. "Let's go to the Empire State Building!"

"Do we have to walk again?" Amelia says quietly.

"I can fly all of us halfway there and Raphael can shadow travel the other half," Hunter says.

"How are you going carry all of us?" Raphael asks.

"We can tie a rope around each other and hold on to each other at the same time," Hunter says.

"Where's the rope?" I ask.

"I think I saw some in the house," Amelia says.

I nod and walk back inside. I look around a little and notice the rope. I grab it and go back outside. "I got it," I say.

"OK," Raphael says and takes it.

He ties it around his waist and Amelia's waist. I grab it and tie it around mine and Hunter ties it around his. I wrap my arms around Hunter and Raphael. I blush. I look away from them so they wouldn't see it.

"Everyone ready for takeoff?" Hunter asks.

"Yes!" we all say in unison.

Hunter starts flying.

"I need to stop," Hunter says.

I nod. He starts descending. Soon we land in grassy area. "I'm to tired to go on," he says to us.

"I'll shadow-travel us the rest of the way there," Raphael says.

The sensation of shadow traveling is happening. When the black clears, we are standing outside the Empire State Building. I grab my dagger and cut us off of each each other. I walk inside and see a old man. "How may I help you guys?" the man asks.

"We would like to go to the 600th floor," Hunter says right next to me.

"We don't have a 600th floor," the man says.

"Yes you do. Now let us up there," Raphael says.

The man sighs and walks to the elevator. "Press the top button," he says and sits back down.

We walk to the elevator and Amelia presses the button. The door closes and we start moving up. "Mummified my teenage dreams," a song plays in the elevator.

"I've never heard this song before," Amelia says.

"You finally don't know a song?" I ask.

She nods. Soon we finally make it to the top. The door opens up and we step out of the elevator. Its so beautiful! We walk to the throne room and only see Hecate and Ares. "You finally found my staff!" Ares booms.

"Yeah yeah," I say as I bring it up to him.

He takes it and he smiles. "Thank you demi-gods," he says.

We nod. "Why are you here Hecate?" I ask her.

"Zeus won't let me leave because I told you guys what was going to happen," she says.

"OK," I say.

"Um Lord Ares? Do you think you could send us back to Camp so we don't walk?" Hunter asks.

"Hecate, you do it. I've got to go tell Aphrodite the good news," Ares says and disappears.

Hecate shakes her head. "Here little demi-gods," she says and twirls her hand.

We land right on the border at Camp Half-Blood. I look around and see Hunter on his butt. I help him up and the four of us walk up Half-Blood Hill together. We walk to the Big House and I see Sebastian. He has his arm wrapped around Emma's shoulders. "Sebastian!" I yell and run to him.

He turns around, looking shocked. I run and throw myself against him. "I missed you so much!" I say to him, my head buried in his shoulder.

"I missed you too," he says quietly.

I feel more arms wrap around me and I look up and see Mom and Dad. "I missed you!" I tell them.

"I missed you to, baby girl," Dad says to me.

We let go and I see Raphael just standing there. "Where's Mom and Dad?" he asks us.

"They are at Camp Jupiter," Mom says.

He nods. I look at Hunter and he is holding Diana.

"Hunty! Hunty, you're back!" Diana exclaims.

"Hunter!" Piper says as she runs to hug him. Jason runs and hugs his son as well.

I looks around but I don't see Amelia. "Hey Raphael, where did Amelia go?" I ask him.

He points to the porch of the Big House. She is talking to Chiron. I walk over to Chiron and Hunter and Raphael follows me. "We need to tell you something Chiron," I say but I notice Amelia crying.

"I'm so sorry, Chiron!" Amelia says.

Chiron pats her back. "Chiron," I say.

"Yes, Carmen?" he asks.

"We need to tell you something," I say. "There is going to be a war."

He looks shocked. "How do you know?" he asks.

"Hecate told us," Hunter says. "And we need to train both camps."

Chiron nods as if he knew this already. "We need to Iris Message Camp Jupiter then," he says.
*****
"Reyna, Nico? Are you there?" I ask.

"We are here. So is everyone in Camp Jupiter," Nico says gravely. "Oh, and Frank. The two people you and Reyna chose to be Praetors did not do well. So the new Praetors are Gia Fuller and Jeremiah Woodley."

"OK thanks," Frank says.

"Hello Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood. I'm sorry to say this but we are going to war."
