[POLITES]
You can relax, my friend

[ODYSSEUS]
Huh?

The demigods in the room smiled, even though they were only ten seconds into the song they could already tell it was going to be a nice change to what they've listened to previously.

[POLITES]
I can tell you're getting nervous
So do yourself a service
And try to relax my friend

[ODYSSEUS]
I'm fine, Polites

Nico placed with his ring, he couldn't help the idea that something bad is going to happen to Polites.


[POLITES]
Think of all that we have been through
We'll survive what we get into
I know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed
Tell me, is this how we're supposed to live?
Look at how you grip your sword enough said
Why should we take when we could give?

Percy put his hand in his pocket and grabbed Riptide, for the last five years Percy's had to fight everything between monsters and Gods, if Percy could retire, he would.

You could show a person that you trust them
When you stop and lower your guard

"Or you could give them to chance to kill you," Thalia suggested, most of the half-bloods in the room nodded, agreeing with the huntress.

Here we have a chance for some adjustment
Give it a try, it's not that hard
I'm telling you
This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms

The half-bloods laugh as they see a defeated Odysseus, although they feel for him, if they had fought in ten year war, they would be done too. Hell, they went on a 9 month mission and they got to the point where they wanted to reject their godly parentage.

Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart

Leo busted into laugher, "He's scared of a butterfly!"

No matter the place, we can light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms

[LOTUS EATERS]
Welcome

Leo flinched as the winions appeared on the screen, the winions (or lotus easters) are small little fuzzy things like look a lot like teddy bears. Leo's friends giggled at the irony of it.


[ODYSSEUS]
Stay back

[LOTUS EATERS]
Stay back

[POLITES]
My friend, greet the world with open arms

[ODYSSEUS]
We're only here for food

[LOTUS EATERS]
Food

Annabeth noticed on the creatures, her grey eyes shining as she looked a quiz she couldn't solve. Annabeth was trying to identify what type of creature the minions were but she's never seen anything like them in any of the books she's read, or perhaps that was Alyx's spell messing with her memory again.

[ODYSSEUS]
Six hundred friends are waiting for us to show our faces

[LOTUS EATERS]
Food

[ODYSSEUS]
Stay back, I'm warning you
If we don't get back safely, my men will turn this place into blazes

[LOTUS EATERS]
Here you go

Annabeth's eyes widened, "Those are lotus's!"

Nico feels a chill go down his spine when he hears the name of the plants, he remembers his time in the Lotus Hotel and how he and his sister were trapped there for 70 years.

[POLITES]
See? This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms
Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart
No matter the place, we can light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms

"He's so happy for a person who's so wrong," Piper said as she crossed her arms.

[ODYSSEUS]
My friend, I wish that I could say that I agree
But look at the way this fruit is glowing and filled with glowing seeds
It took me a while to notice what kind of fruit they eat
It's a lotus, it controls your mind and never lets you free
That's what we'd get with open arms

[POLITES]
Lotus eaters, I'd like to show my friend that kindness is brave
Could you tell me where there's other food to eat?

"He's still trusting them?"

"I can't tell whenever to call him brave or stupid."

[LOTUS EATERS]
The cave

[POLITES]
A cave! You're saying there's a cave where we could feast?
And where do we sail to find this fruit-filled cave?

[LOTUS EATERS]
East

[POLITES]
Thank you!

[LOTUS EATERS]
Welcome

"Awwww!" Hazel was dying of cuteness as the winions hug Polites, even though the winions were bad and trying to trap Odysseus and Polites a moment before, she had to admit the winions were adorable.

[POLITES]
This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms
I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart

Leo scoffed, a part of him felt bad for him but another part was angry, he was after all Calypso's jerk ex-boyfriend.

So why not replace it and light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms

Reyna didn't agree with Polites view but she also appreciated it, Polites must of been really strong to have been able to go through a ten year war and still want to see the best in people.

[ODYSSEUS]
Greet the world with open arms

[POLITES]
You can relax, my friend

"I love him," Hazel said simply as the video ends.

Nico frowns, he didn't want Hazel getting too attached to him if his feeling is right. "Alyx! Does something happen to Polites?"

Alyx starred at Nico, her eyes unreadable but Nico could tell she was thinking about something, "Er- I don't know, watch to find out." She turned to Annabeth, "You're going to love the next song, Annabeth. It's called Warrior of the Mind."
