As the wind buffered her hair, she couldn't feel more proud as they approached Africa. The only task now was to defeat Ladon and get two golden apples. Jason was sleeping, as he always was, getting ready for the big fight. Surely, the Hesperides would remember Percy and how he also fought Ladon.
Piper still remembered the day when he came back, a golden apple sitting in the palm of his hand. He said that he was mailing it off to Tyson, who had been sick in the forges and needed a golden apple to get better. Of course, Percy came back with scars.
But at least he wasn't cursed.
"Get ready! We're almost there!" Leo called.
This was it. They were going to get those two golden apples, pick Thalia, Hazel, Annabeth, Nico, and Frank up, and save Percy.
"Can we hurry up already?!" Leo groaned.
Festus came to a stop in front of the the garden of the Hesperides.
"Didn't Hera live here before Zeus decided to make her his wife?" Piper asked.
"Yeah..." Leo touched a flower. "I'm surprised she managed to live here. I mean... who can live without a decent Starbucks nearby?"
"This was Ancient Greece, Leo..." Jason sighed. "People were weird."
