The next morning, Macy was up when Apollo's chariot started bringing the sun, waking Paul as she went. She strapped her armour on in quick, precise movements while he took down the tent and she woke the rest of the pack, smiling at the array of breakfast foods that appeared once they were all up.

"Thank you, Aunt Hestia." Macy muttered, assembling a quick breakfast for herself before giving another offering to her and Nike, the pack following suit. They ate quickly, the air thick with the tension Macy had come to expect pre-battle.

"I'm gonna fly with Saphira to make sure Seth gets up to the campsite with no problems."Macy said, adjusting Blackfyre around her waist as she approached said dragon.

"You got it, Boss. We'll make an entrance into battle just like always."The dragon said telepathically, and Macy smile as she climbed on, getting on the saddle.

"Wait, Macy! I want to give you something first."Paul called while Seth shifted, making them both pause before taking off.

"We don't have long to get him up there before the newborns arrive, Paul. Make it fast."She told him, wondering what he was smiling about all of a sudden.

"Catch."He said simply, tossing something at me that she caught easily enough. Once it was in her hand, she looked at it, jaw dropping when she realized that it was an apple.

"Paul, I don't think you realise the significance of what you just did."Macy told him in a shaky voice, eyes widening when she saw him smirk.

"Oh, I know exactly what I just did. I've read enough about Ancient Greece to know how important what I just did is. I know that throwing an apple to a girl is a marriage  proposal in Ancient Greek culture. Lift the stem."He said calmly as Macy did so with shaking hands, gasping at the celestial bronze ring within the apple, with a triple moon symbol as the center of the stone with two diamonds on either side. Macy looked at him with wide eyes, gaping.

"I prayed to Lord Hephaestus after you took me to Pylea. Your mother gave her blessing while we were there and I went to see Charlie and he did too. I knew I wanted to do it around graduation, so I prayed to Lord Hephaestus to see if he would make the ring. Luckily, he did so, coming into my dreams to get specifics on what I wanted and Lord Hades donated gems. There's a few protection marks on the band, which will keep you safe. So what do you say, Macy? Marry this crazy wolf who just proposed before battle?"He said, making Macy's free hand fly to her mouth in shock as she nodded.

"You're insane but yes!"Macy said tearfully as she pulled the ring from the apple and handed it to him as he approached Saphira to slip it on her finger and gave him a quick peck.

"When I take Saphira back to camp, you are coming with to meet everyone."Macy murmured as she drew back, giving him a dazzling smile.

"Deal, now why don't I give this apple to your amazing steed, and you get Seth up to the campsite."He said, gently taking the apple from Macy and giving it to Saphira, who ate it gratefully.

"I'll be back."Macy said, earning a nod before looking at Seth.

"Ready to go?"Macy asked and he nodded his wolfy head.

"Alright, let's go!"Saphira said telepathically before she took off with Seth trailing them.

"Did that really just happen, Boss?"The dragon asked under Macy.

"Yeah it did. Holy shit, Saphira. I'm engaged now."Macy said, giving a gleeful laugh.

"I'll be part of the wedding, right?"Saphira asked, sounding excited herself.

"Let's plan the wedding later, right now, we have a battle to worry about."Macy told her getting a groan in response, but thankfully, the dragon remained quiet. A few minutes later, Saphira descended at the campsite as Seth ran in, arriving just as Bella emerged from her own tent.

"Hey, Seth, Macy."She greeted, still looking a bit tired.

"Morning, Bella."Macy greeted with a nod, as Edward came into the clearing from somewhere.

"Seth, Macy."He greeted shortly, making Macy roll her eyes before his eyes caught sight of the new addition to her left hand.

"Congratulations on your engagement, Macy."He said, making Bella's eyes snap to Macy's hand as well.

"You're engaged? When did that happen?"She asked, sounding surprisingly bitter about it, to Macy's confusion.

"Like twenty minutes ago, Paul proposed just before Seth and I came here, why does it matter?"Macy asked, making her flush for some odd reason.

"No reason, congratulations."Bella replied, not looking Macy in the eye, indicating that she was lying.

Macy shrugged it off, however, not really caring to get into it with her when there was a battle to be fought.

"Whatever, I'm gone take a bird's eye view to watch for the army. I'll join the battle once they get to the clearing but I want to try to get a final count since the numbers could change before they even get there. Be sure to tell Jacob for me."Macy said, earning a nod from Edward and Seth before Saphira took off into the sky again. After a few minutes or circling the begging of Bella's scent trail, they were finally spotted.

"Creepy bloodsuckers down below, Boss."Saphira informed, making Macy's eyes snap downwards, catching sight of the army.

"Looks like there's about eighteen, but I don't see Riley or Victoria. It's possible they circled around to enter the clearing from another side, so let's head to the clearing."Macy said, holding tighter as the dragon took off. 

It was time to go back into battle.
