(No facts, but I did have a meltdown the other day because of my music teacher... maybe it's time to commit arson)

"So we have no choice," Piper said miserably.

"We have to save Hera, or the giant king gets unleashed. That's our quest. The world depends on it. And Enceladus seems to have ways of watching me. He isn't stupid. He'll know if we change course and go the wrong way. He'll kill my dad."

"He's not going to kill your dad," Leo said. "We'll save him."

"We don't have time!" Piper cried. "Besides, it's a trap."

"We're your friends, Pepper," Thea said. "We're not going to let your dad die. We Just gotta figure out a plan."

Coach Hedge grumbled. "Would help if we knew where this mountain was. Maybe Aeolus can tell you that. The Bay Area has a bad reputation for demigods. Old home of the Titans, Mount Othrys, sits over Mount Tam, where Atlas holds up the sky. I hope that's not the mountain you saw."

"The bay area isn't that bad," Thea mumbled, but Piper seemed to have been the only one to hear.

"It's okay, I don't think it was in the bay area anyways. This was inland."

Jason frowned at the fire, like he was trying to remember something.

"Bad reputation .. that doesn't seem right. The Bay Area ..."

"You think you've been there?" Ally spoke up for the first time since Piper started talking.

"I..." He looked like he was almost on the edge of a breakthrough. Then the anguish came back into his eyes. "I don't know. Hedge, Thea, what happened to Mount Othrys?"

"Dunno. I was busy elsewhere at the end of the war," The daughter of Hades replied. Lilith had died just then. They had won, and everything was fine before Lilith had brought her into the forest and revealed she had been poisoned and that there was no cure. She died not long after and Thea left for her mother's house, bringing Nico with.

Piper frowned at the girl, but turned her attention to Hedge who seemed to have more to say.

The satyr took another bite of paper and burger. "Well, Kronos built a new palace there last summer. Big nasty place, was going to be the headquarters for his new kingdom and all.

Weren't any battles there, though. Kronos marched on Manhattan, tried to take Olympus.

If I remember right, he left some other Titans in charge of his palace, but after Kronos got defeated in Manhattan, the whole palace just crumbled on its own."

"No," Blondie said.

Everyone looked at him.

"What do you mean, "No"?" Leo asked.
