IT WAS AFTER dawn when Amara made her Zeus' Fist, the fog had burned away during the night and left the sky a clear blue. Juniper and Grover stood a couple of feet away from her, the dryad preventing tears that threatened to spill while giving a smile to the Underwood boy.

An arm wrapping around her shoulders brought her out of her thoughts, dark brown hair could be seen from the corner of her peripheral vision. The son of Hephaestus had a far off expression, his eyes focused on the Labyrinth.

The adopted siblings stood in silence, Beckendorf's hand tracing small circles on the younger girl's jacket as reality seemed to hit the duo in deep waves.

"Mom says if you don't come back, she's grounding you for life." A ghost of a smile twisted onto Charles's lips, breaking the silence.

"I have a feeling she plans on doing that regardless of the outcome."

Laughter spilled from the older boy, earning a light grin from his adopted sister as he shook his head. "I have a feeling you're right about that too."

Silence overtook the duo again, their gazes locked on her quest members as they slowly approached the entrance to the Labyrinth.

"Silena?" Amara asked, moving her eyes to look up at the son of Hephaestus.

He was already looking down at her, his head softly shaking with a tight lip smile laced on his lips. "She said it would be too hard."

She nodded, understanding the older girl struggled seeing her off before a quest. The daughter of Aphrodite always seemed to blame herself when Amara was sent on quests, a trait she never could understand but figured it was because of the older girl's gentle nature.

"Mara," Percy joined the adoptive siblings, sparing Beckendorf a nod before focusing his attention on the younger demigod. "Ready?"

Amara looked at Charles once more, squeezing his hand and unwrapping herself from under his shoulder. "As I'll ever be, Seaweed Brain."

With that, the children of the big three bid goodbye to the older boy and headed off to the Labyrinth.
