After meeting Bee, Emilia was teleported back to Olympus. Grateful for help from the gods, Emilia and her friends knew they had to continue the quest. They prepared to get back on track towards Death Valley.

Chapter 1: A Journey Re-Continued
Bee "The Pippycat" Clio's Point of View

I had decided to assist Emilia in her quest to vanquish the evil Marvel. He had killed my best friend Ruby, and I was ready to put him down once again. I arrived with the rest of the group, who was now diminished to four. I had no clue why, but it wasn't long before I was filled in on the details.

I recognized Emilia, the one with crimson hair and blue eyes. I soon learned of Blake, the lanky boy with the spiky black hair, the son of Dionysus. Aria was another one, the girl with dark hair and green eyes. The fourth was Brooklyn, who was blonde with grey eyes. I greeted them, and when I told them I had killed Marvel previously, they were shocked.

"You, a 13 year old did it yourself?" Brooklyn asked, shocked. "Yes, indeed." I replied. I heard Emilia ask Hermes, who was getting us ready to leave something. "What of Isaac? The boy who assisted us? The only one to not betray us?" she asked. "The boy of Apollo? He... is well... missing. He wasn't killed if that makes you happier, but he is missing..." Hermes replied.

He gave us each a backpack full of survival gear, and said "You'll need it, this part of the journey isn't open road. You'll have to trudge through dark forests and bitter mountains. Good luck." he said. Easy for him, he had magical wing shoes. He could just fly through it all.

"However, I must warn you. Marvel's began to "stir" other titans up. Children of the ancient Gaea lurk in caves of the earthly mountains. Creatures made halfly up of rocks and earth materials. You must keep them off the ground to completely defeat them." Hermes said. I didn't get a chance to ask any question, as Hermes waved his hand in front of us.

As soon as my eyes adjusted to the new light, I saw myself and my group in a pine forest. "Looks like we're in Nebraska. Probably couldn't teleport us closer due to "dark magic" or some other lame excuse the gods make up." Brooklyn says, rolling her eyes. I knew the journey would be rough, but one threat I knew would come after me one time or another. Troy Mason, counselor of Ares and secret searcher of the rare Pippycat. That pippycat is unfortunately me.
