Read the first six parts before this or you won't understand it at all.
The seguinte dia música started again if you could call it that it was just a trumpet going off like you would hear at a boot camp. "hmmmmmmmmmm its to early for this nonsense." Annabeth said like she just said up all night. (over the intercom) "Well its not my fault-" it was Michaels voice "we got here so early, welcome to the south." after he said that a jass tune started to play "come on Annabeth lets go see what there's to see." I said
"hmmmmmmmm okay" she replied. Once we left the quite comfy seats in the very back we saw that all the cars had been decorated with loads of raunchy gold green and purple feathers and masks and beads everywhere on the seats walls and windows. "what happened here?" i asked thinking michael could here me (he did) "this is louisianas version of a party... MARDI GRAS woooooooooooo not to mention its a party to get on the good side of demeter to give them a good harvest n the spring. Unfortunatley though its summer not spring so there is no need for these decorations ahhhhhhhhh." after he finshed whining all the decorations melted away into colored water and fell through the cracks on the floor.For a segundo i thought i was going crazy with stuff melting in front of me, but i was assured i wasn't because this came over the intercom seguinte "don't worry it was just ice your not going crazy percy." that was all he said in that moment that i could here because we went through the seguinte door into the segundo to first carrinho and a huge buffet was set up for us full of mine and annabeths favorito foods that we liked at camp me and annabeths stomachs growled we hadn't eaten in two days "how did you know these were our favorites?" Annabeth yelled "percy hasn't told you yet? well i'll just break the ice i can read minds as well as percy he just hasn't discored how to do it yet."
"what?" she said flatly
"thats right all children of poseidon can read minds because since we hear best in the water, and since the brain is 97 percent water there is no reason we shouldn't be able to "hear" thoughts."
"thats cool" she said but i think she was being sarcastic
"before you start eating make sure to pray to your parent or we won't get much further" once this was done michael came out and sat seguinte us and we feasted on cinnamon rolls, waffles, pancakes, sausages, and biscuits with some white... sauce on it which michael was eating like he'd never had anything so delicious and at the end of the mesa, tabela there was a small white bag that smelled strongly of powdered sugar i looked into it and it looked like a snowman threw up in it there were mounds of powdered sugar in it and if you stuck your hand to the bottom there were small puffy squares of fried goodness.
"haven't you tried beignets before?"
"no we don't have these... watch you call them... these beignets in new york but there good."
"hmmmmmm" annabeth replied trying one as well
Once we finished eating we gathered our things (our weapons, a bag of golden drachmas, michael glitter water which was actually flecks of celestial bronze)
"well, are you ready to depart?" michael said in a fake english accent "i would suggest you put on some lighter clothes it's frightfully hot outside."
"i'm sure we'll manage" i said
"whatever you say. ready?"
"yes" me and annabeth said at the same time
"then let us be off" he said while jumping out of the trains door
me and annabeth followed and we were hit por a wave of heat i was disoriented for a few segundos
"its HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT" i yelled
"i did tell you it was very hot"
"i'd like to change my clothes now." annabeth said
"you should've taken my offer up while you could."
"what do you mean the train's still behind..." i stopped talking because the train was moving back the way it came while tracks were melting away because they were made of ice. "what'd you do that for, stupid." annabeth said she seemed to have struck a nerve because michaels face was contorted with rage "don't EVER call me that again" his voice was so horrible then i hoped i never heard it again "well now that thats behind us" his voice had returned to normal "lets continue on... por the way annabeth monsters will still smell us on that train so it won't give away our position to the monsters okay, then lets go" he didn't wait for an answer as he started walking up a tall colina with lots of dead grama an absolutely no shade. It was so hot me and annebeth took our jackets off in the first 30 segundos and what felt like an eternity later the three of us got to the topo, início of the colina a good quarter mile away from us was a small town with only 10 buildings on the small dirt road in it
"race you there" michael said with a cheery look as if he was already planning to win "winner gets 5 golden drachmas"
"your on" me and annabeth said at the same time
"on my mark... ready... set...GO!" we started running and boy did we run fast the colina must have been at least at a 50 degree angle and there were little bumps going down that were pretty easy to jump over but there were a lot but michael, he was doing freaking flips and cartwheels down the colina and it didn't look like he was tired at all, while me and annebeth were totally panting like dogs. Once we finally got to the little town and Michael got his five drachmas we saw that it was entire town of half-bloods there were little trinkets that would ward off monsters, and invisibility "potions" (i don't think they worked) though michael seemed to be pretty famous around the place because everyonee was all calling him over to there stands for them to look at there stuff and a few kids high-fived him. We walked for a few mais minutos and stopped a little store with a hand painted sign on that said "Hecates Magic Shack"
"go on" michael told us and we obliged and the segundo we walked in a little sino over the door yelled across the room "customer" me and annabeth both jumped but we were calmed down por the heavy smell of rosas and orchids becuase they were everywhere in vases on the ceiling fãs over the walls and on the desk, and there were magical items of every kind vanishing blades, instant darkness powder, monster detectors, and an entire section of "potions", there were easily 50 different kinds invisibility potions, strenth potions, levitation potions, potions that made you smell like the exact way a rose does, potions that helped you take out monsters quicker, truth potions, I could keep going but, you know, so we walked around the store and michael was picking out a lot of aleatório stuff like dragon leaf, and fairy wing, and salmander skin (which he used some heavy duty gloves to pick up which immediatley froze after he touched the skin), and empousa fang which brout back some bad memories of my junior ano in high school. He brought these items up to the register and the cashier lady looked like she could be 14 at the most.
"michael is that you?" the girl said
"yep, how's it going jillian?"
"its going good." and when she finished talking she dissapeared and reapeared right seguinte to michael and then hugged him and he hugged back and did a spin with her in his arms.
"i haven't seen you in so long." jillian said
"ditto. oh, intro jillian this is percy my brother and this is annabeth daughter of athena his girlfriend. and you two this is jillian daughter of Hecate goddess of magic."
"how do you do?" and she did a little curtsy
"were doing fine." me and annabeth said at the same time
"well back to business, jillian i need you to brew these into a transportation potion for us four."
"who's the fourth person?" annabeth asked
"jillian of course, she's been practicing her fighting magic for quite some time and she'd amor to come on this quest with us."
"how do you know she wants to come she hasn't even... oh yeah"
"yeah" he replied "so how long would it take for the potion to be done?"
"at the most it will be done in two days." jillian said
"excellent, that will just give us three to take in the sights."
"okay i'll get started on this right now, bye michael." and with that she gave michael a kiss full on the mouth and vanished behind the escrivaninha, mesa and went into a back room behind ropes of rose petals
"huuuh she's a good kid,... well lets go get in some sight seeing before we go to cetus's palace"
