They made it back to the ship panting. Hosoek started describing out what he saw and heard and the others listened carefully.

"We need to call Chiron. We need to warn the Camp." Namjoon said distracted.

"The camp won't be able to fight off that huge of an army." Jin said. "There's nothing else we can do?"

"We cannot abandon this quest. We have to close the doors of death at any cost and stop Gaea." Namjoon answered.

"I got to talk with him again." Jungkook said. "The temple is in Epirus. That's all that's useful I got, cause I had to then like get up run when Jin started yelling."

"That's still great. Now we know we have to get to Epirus." Yoongi nodded.

"I'll go call Chiron right away." Namjoon said hurrying away.

"Do we have enough time to go all the way to Greece and back before they reach the camp?" Taehyung asked.

"If we can get to Greece fast enough without anymore monster attacks and no major situation in Greece then maybe." Yoongi said.

" So you mean no." Jin sighed.

"I don't mean no. If that army is not fast enough, then we will make it." Yoongi said.

Jungkook

He dreamt that night. He was in middle of a grassy plain, the sight sending chills down his spine. The power of Gaea was suddenly everywhere. He looked around frantically trying to remind himself it was just a dream.

Son of Hades, Gaea murmured. Her voice reminding him of grinding of rock on rock. Aren't you tired already, trying to prove yourself to your father? the goddess mocked. Why don't you come to me? I can offer you a peaceful death.

"Tempting." He said. "Why don't you show yourself, Gaea? Stop hiding." He yelled.

Such bravado. Gaea hissed. I need the blood of two demigods. Jungkook, my dear, choose which hero will die with you.

"You are insane!" He shouted. "I am not choosing anything for you."

Choose, son of Hades, or I will. Behind him he heard metal clanging against metal. He turned around abruptly, his eyes widening as he took in the sight infront of him. Taehyung and Jimin. Their swords coming down at each other sparks flying. Their eyes glowed solid gold.

He leaped out of the bed in panic and realised he was still in his cabin in Argo II. He sighed in relief but he wanted to tell someone about his dream. He wanted to know what it meant. Gaea needed the blood of two of them. That was atleast clear. He hastily made his way to the mess hall looking for Namjoon. Everyone was up and about, moving through the ship. Jin and Taehyung were sword fighting in the deck, Hosoek and Jimin watching them. Namjoon was with Yoongi in the helm. He made his way to them.

"Oh you are awake I was just about to wake you up." Namjoon said as he saw him coming up.

"Yeah, I just had a dream last night." Namjoon and Yoongi turned their attention to him."Gaea talked me. Said how she wanted the blood of two demigods. Do you have any idea what that means?"

"Blood?" Namjoon frowned. "Yeah I have thought about that. Gaea can't just rise like that. She might need sacrifices. Like you said, blood of demigods."

"So she is waiting for us to arrive so that she can sacrifice two of us?" Yoongi asked.

"Oh I think she will kill all of us. Just need some blood for the rising shit." He said. "And from the dream I am pretty sure she wants me to be one of them. Then she asked-" before he could continue he heard Jin asking Taehyung if he was alright. Suddenly panicking he raced back to them. The two following behind him.

Taehyung gasped. He stood up straight turning away from Jin.

"Taehyung!" He called. "What's wrong—?"

Taehyung looked down at him, his expression deadly calm. His eyes were no longer blue. They glowed solid gold.On the other side Jimin jumped up on his feet. No one else but him paid Jimin attention, their eyes were on Taehyung panicked.

"Jimin stop-" he tried to say but Jimin raised his sword and pointed the tip toward Taehyung.

"One will die," Jimin said, but the voice wasn't his. It was deep and hollow, like someone whispering from inside the barrel of a cannon.

"I will choose," Taehyung answered, in the same hollow voice.

"No!" he yelled.Around him he heard someone hiss, laughing in Gaea's voice as Jimin and Taehyung charged at each other, their weapons ready.
