Chapter 19 - Making Land Fall
xxxxxxxxxxxx
This has long day written all over it
Unknown.

Hermonie sighed rubbing her face, brushing her now less bushy hair out of the way. The day before, with much trepidation, she had removed the spells that changed her appearance, to her relief the changes weren't too drastic. Her hair went from brown to black and smoothed out a bit, it was still wildly curly but she had lost the recently electrocuted look she normally sported, it was her eyes that were the most startling thing for her. Gone was the light brown replaced instead by a deep indigo blue that seemed almost iridescent sometimes. They matched the scales from she been working on forming from her animagus form, the same deep blue with hints of purple.
She considered the bay in front of her and glanced at her watch it was 3 in the morning and she had finally found the camp that Bennu had told her about. She had hit the coast of Maine the day before and had, had to take her time cruising down the coast to avoid suspicion, and make sure she didn't over shoot.
But now here she was looking at what should have been the end of a life long ordeal, and really it was now just one more step on the way, she would have to go back and bring Orion home. There was no question about it, it was going to happen, but for right now she needed to catch up on some sleep, tomorrow would be a big day. So she turned the ship back up the coast and dropped anchor about 25 miles away in a sheltered cove.

Percy blinked sleepily into the sunlight streaming through the underwater window and hitting his face. It was Saturday which meant everyone had the day off from training today. Not that everyone wasn't still up at more or less the crack of dawn. Breakfast was served at 6 sharp whether you were there or not. He didn't really have to worry about that though his underwater hide out came with a mini fridge that had some more interesting snacks that reminded him of the Japanese candy mom had brought home one time that was made out of seaweed(1). That would tied him over until lunch if he didn't feel like getting up.
He considered the angle of the light and estimated it was around 9 Am not late by any means, but it was nice to sleep in a bit sometimes. He sighed and hauled himself out of bed and swam over to the dresser pulling out a clean dark blue shirt and jeans glade the bright orange camp T-shirts didn't have to be worn on free days, and dressing before swimming over to the fridge and hunting around for lunch. He ended up pulling out a sort of seaweed salad he had gotten hooked on a while back and devouring some of it (2), but soon enough he no longer had a reason not rejoin the rest of camp. He put away the rest of the salad and swam over to the tunnel that led back into his cabin and costed up his head braking the surface of the water without a sound. He looked around before hauling himself out of the water and onto land making a face as he did so. Having gotten so used to being in the water for hours at a time sleeping and training with Triton he was more then semi aquatic these days and was always uncomfortable being out of the water for while till he got used to it again.
He stood taking a moment to get his balance before leaving the cabin wondering how the Ares kids who had gone after the golden fleece were doing, they had been gone for a week now and the tree wasn't doing too well. He glanced out to sea and did a double take a moment later spotting a tiny suspiciously sail boat shaped blot on the horizon, she couldn't possibly be here already! It should take at least four days to sail from Britain to New York and that was being optimistic! He headed back into the cabin from where he had stopped on the step and after a minute of hunting tracked down a pair of binoculars to get a better look. Yup he though amused that was Hermonies ship all right. He put the binoculars away and ran off to the big house to get Chiron.

(20 minutes later)
Chiron looked at the ship through his binoculars deep in thought for a moment before nodding. "Your right its not just a lost mortal ship. Theres far to much magic in it and its headed straight here" He said before calling a group of other Demigods over incase the visitor turned out to be hostile. Ten minutes later the sail boat cruised into the harbor making hardly a ripple in the calm water. Gliding up perfectly controlled, and sliding up to the dock attached to the Poseidon cabin. Percy walked over, the others watching warily from the beach, as the girl piloting the ship tossed a line to Percy to tie off the ship as everyone else was trying not to stare at the ship. It was beautiful, a work of art, and they had never seen something quite like it before.
She walked up to the edge of the ship, her entire stance screaming calm but dangerous. She was dressed quite a bit differently today then the last time he had seen her. She was wearing a deep almost black blue sleeveless vest that looked like it was made out of snake skin. Her long pants were made of a similar material with a lighter blue cloak across her shoulders. At her waist two slightly curved swords hung, one on each side. As a result she looked several years older then she really was. Once the ship was properly tied off the girl nodded to Percy her eyes lingering on the falcon pendant that no one ever seemed to notice before smiling at him.
"Who are you and what is your business here!" Asked Chiron sharply from the beach she looked over and smiled slightly.
"My name," She said carefully. "Is Hermonie Soren and I have one hell of a story for you." She said with a wry grin. Chrions eyes widened at the name Percy noticed, confirming what he had suspected, the kidnapping of a pair of Demigods a little over a decade ago had not gone unnoticed.
"Well Hermonie," He said after a moment still staring at her in slight surprise. "You'll need to come with me to the big house and you can explain." He said she nodded and looked over at Percy.
"You don't mind if I leave the Akhet tied up here for a bit do you?" She asked Percy shook his head no.
"Of course not, its fine, the other docks for the canoes anyway, waters not deep enough over there." He shrugged she smiled gratefully at him before following Chiron as he sent the other demigods back to what ever it was they had been doing. Percy watched her go not worried in the least bit she could handle herself.

(Other World with Orion)
AN/: I can here you cursing me all the way other here you know! ^-^
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Orion stared somewhat balefully at the smirking slytherin. "Your enjoying this far too much." He muttered Draco's smirk just widened.
"Of course I am! The mighty gryffindor golden boy is actually thanking an evil Slytherin for his help! Whats not to enjoy?" He shot back Orion just rolled his eyes closing the lid of his trunk, Hermonie unfortunately still had his invisibility cloak and his Nimbus 2000 was under his bed in the dorm so he was going to have to make do.
"Ya, well, extenuating circumstances and all that." He responded making Draco laugh Orion eyed him for a moment before speaking.
"Don't think I've ever seen you laugh before," Orion said, " Cut it out, you're giving me the creeps." Which of course only made him laugh harder. Orion was just glade he was mostly recovered finally after two days of being an invalid, and being cared for by one of Malfoy elves. Mist had shown up the day before to check on him before disappearing again, he'd been glade for some new info though, having been uncertain as too why no one had come to help him. Especially after the spell had failed to take him with it, it was nice to know where she and Hedwig as well as everyone else has disappeared too.
As it turned out, with Krios in the area Mist had gone into hiding to buy them time, as her magic was a dead give away and she would have just been in the way. Hedwigg however had attacked Dumbldore as soon as Krios had left so he wouldn't have to deal with the old man as well (that bird was getting all the treats she wanted when this was over) Though how an owl had distracted a wizard like Dumbles for any length of time was a mystery. Hedwigg was a very smug bird when she had found him at Malfoys that was for for the Gods and Bennu, they we're apparently trying to catch Krios who was still on this world, but was proving difficult to pin down.
So it was just him and Hedwigg for now, not that he minded, he got updates every few hours from Hermonie which wasn't aways a good thing she'd almost given him a heart attack when she'd Cherades'ed her way through 'I killed a giant evil sea serpent in under five minutes HA!'.
But after 2 days at sea following the compass of the Akhet (the existence of which had resulted in 15 minutes of merciless teasing from Orion) she was now in the camp and about to tell the centaur Chiron about what had happened, and who she was. She had already met who she was almost positive was the son of Poseidon, her half brother, who Horus had said would know they were coming. How many other children of the Greek gods would be wearing the symbol of an Egyptian sky god after all?
Hopefully it would all go well and she would be back with reinforcement to get him within the week at least, however he wasn't going to wait around at Draco's for that. The Slytherin had his gratitude for helping him in the forest and rescuing him, but they still disliked each other so it was best for him to leave as soon as possible.
"You know potter...You've been here for two days and you still haven't told me who you actually are, all I know is that your a demigod nots who's." He said thoughtfully Orion looked sideways at him frowning.
"No I haven't have I?" He agreed smirking Draco sighed and glared at him faintly annoyed.
"Well are you going to tell me or not? Its probably some minor god nobodies ever heard of anyway!" He said Orion ginned toothily at him.
"Well...since you asked so nicely!" He mocked Draco sighed and gave him an evil look. "Right, right." He said and turned to face Draco properly. "Let me reintroduce myself Mr. Malfoy. I am Orion Ashton, Son of the God Zeus, Lord of the sky and King of the Gods." He said smoothly smirking at him. Draco stared at him startled for several moments.
"You mean Iv been insulting and trying to kill a son of Zeus for the past three years?" He asked squeakily Orion grinned again nodding happily.
"Yes, yes you have." He agreed brightly before throwing a handful of floo powder through the fire place and asking for the leaky cauldron. He disappeared Draco still doing a good impression of a fish.

(Camp half blood)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hermonie followed Chiron through the camp, tense, she had no real idea what to expect from the people here, all Bennu had told her was to be polite and to the point if she had to explain what had happened to the Olympians directly. They we're no where near as laid back as the gods she knew and the myths she had been reading were a good approximation how they really did act, the only god she could really risk being even somewhat informal to was her father and to be carefully with that as well.
They reached a large light blue painted building in short order having passed the group of 12 cabins placed in a U shape around a fire pit. There was a 30 something man sitting at a table out side playing what looked to be a gameboy and completely ignoring them. "Mr. D?" Asked Chiron politely. The man didn't even look up as he answered him.
"What?" He snapped sounding irritated Chiron sighed but continued ignoring the mans attitude.
"A new demigod arrived at camp." He said evenly the man still didn't take his attention away from the game.
"Must be a lucky one I didn't here any screaming or yelling by the border." He said flatly.
"Her name is Hermonie Soren." Chiron added, Mr. D paused in clicking buttons on his game, perfectly still for a moment before looking up and scrutinizing her intently. Hermonie eyed him a little warily at this point finally recognizing the power he was giving off for what it was. It was a lot more subtle then Horus's power then again Horus didn't do subtle to begin with.
"Is that so?" He asked staring at her he frowned squinting a little and seemed to shimmer out of focus like heat mirage for a moment before going back to normal. He sighed and the game disappears from his hand Hermonie hopped he had remembered to save it. "that quite and impressive spell you have on you Hermonie." He said drily.
"Unfortunately." She agreed politely he stared at her silently for another few moments his frown deepening before he sighed and stood up.
"I'll have to inform Zeus and Poseidon of your return." He said annoyed. "Just sleep on that ship of yours for now, no point in stuffing you in the Hermes cabin if its unnecessary." He said before Hermonie had the sudden compulsion to close her eyes, a brilliant flare of golden light that shown through her eye lids was all she needed to know that it was a good thing she had. When the light faded she opened her eyes and looked up a Chiron curiously, he smiled down at her.
"Well, it would seem you ordeal is over child." He said Hermonie just smiled at him lopsidedly.
"Its not." She said. "I still have to go rescue Orion, and that just seemed far to easy" His eyebrows went up at this in surprise.
"Orion is alive as well?" He asked faintly amazed she nodded.
"Yes, hopefully he can stay out of trouble long enough to get back with help, but knowing him..." She trailed off with a shrug smirking. Chiron smiled slightly and nodded.
"Be that as it may, there nothing to do until Lord Dionysus gets back, you should go rest I have no doubt its been a trying few days for you." She nodded looking around for a moment to determine the way back to the Poseidon cabin and the dock before taking off down the path at a jog. Chiron watched her go with a slight frown her aura was odd, like there was more to then a normal demigods, but the Titan magic on her almost completely obscured it making anything difficult to determine.
Percy looked up as the sound of foot steps seeing Hermonie back already she had halted at the steps of the cabin looking at him with a raised eye brow. "You can come in." He called she bounded up the stairs smiling and sat down on the couch across from him.
"So Im guessing you knew I was coming?" She asked without preamble he nodded.
"I haven't told anyone anything yet." He said with a shrug she mock scowled at him.
"Oh really? Leave all the explaining to me why don't you!" She said sarcastically he grinned back.
"Something like that" He agreed. "Apollos the only one who knows that something was up, or that I knew something was going on." He said she nodded.
"Alright, Dionysus went to talk to Zeus and Poseidon to tell them I was back, how long do you think it will take for them to decide something?" She asked he frowned thought.
"Not sure, since Orions still alive potentially not very long at all. Depends on how much Zeus cares about him I suppose, if it was me dad would've probably gone postal by now." He shrugged she nodded.
"I hope he does, Orion's never really had a family before that he can remember. Im pretty much the only person who ever been nice to him. The family he was left with pretty much tortured him most of his life. He was ecstatic when he found out he did have a family still that might not hate him, It'll kill him if he doesn't." She said sadly Percy nodded.
"Hopefully he will." He said before changing the subject. "You hungry?" He asked she glanced over and nodded.
"Sure you have any snacks?" He grinned.
"Ya, come on." He said getting up and diving into the entrance to the second level she stared after him for a moment with a raised eyebrow before following.

Zeus starred at Dionysus in shock not sure if he had heard correctly. "Hermonie Soren and Orion Ashton are alive?" He repeated Dionysus nodded looking irritated at having to repeat himself.
"Yes, yes, Hermonie is currently at camp and chomping at the bit to go rescue her 'brother' before he gets himself killed. Her thoughts are oddly hard to read but I was able to learn that the brats were being kept in another world not sure which one and Orion is being chased around the country side by a Titan at the moment, so it would be best to deal with the situation sooner rather then later if you want him in one piece." Zeus's expression darkened, the massive thunderstorm over New York mirroring his mood and intensifying viciously making even the normally weather indifferent locals run for cover.
"Hermonie is fine through?" Asked Poseidon, Dionysus glanced at him and nodded.
"She's fine, A powerful curse is blocking her aura, but fine. Was talking to Perseus last I looked." He said Zeus frowned at this and the air over the hearth seemed to warp before forming an image of the inside of the Poseidon cabin just in time for them to catch the last part of the two demigods conversation. Zeus's expression turned even angrier the image fading away the other two gods eyed him wearily.
"Poseidon retrieve your daughter I want to know who was responsible for this, and where exactly my son is." He said flatly, Poseidon nodded and disappeared.

Hermonie looked faintly amazed down at the salad Percy had pulled out of the fridge. "Who knew seaweed and ginger could taste so good!" She said taking another bite, Percy nodded his eyes going unfocused for a minute before he snapped back to reality looking a bit off balance and blinking rapidly. "You all right? You were looking a bit like my friend Luna there for a second and as nice as she is thats not a good thing." Percy shook his head.
"No im fine, you know about my other ability right?" He asked she quirked an eye brow up.
"You mean your talent for seeing the future...among other things?" she trailed off looking behind him. Percy sighed not needing Hermonie to tell him his father was standing behind him. He leaned back looking straight up to find Poseidon looking down at him with a raised eyebrow.
"We'll talk about this later Perseus." He said Percy winced internally Poseidon was using his real name he was not happy. Poseidon looked over at Hermonie his expression warming. "Im glade you survived Hermonie I tried to find you when you were taken but Krios spells were quite powerful." He said looking apologetic Hermonie smiled.
"Don't worry about it, its the past now not much to do about it." She said he smiled slightly back at her and hugged her.
"You may thinks so but I should have kept you safe." He said and stepped back and looked at Percy who was grinning at them. "I hope your not to upset about having a sister." He said Percy laughed.
"Why in Hades would I be upset? This is great! It gets lonely over here by myself!" He teased, Poseidon looked at him bemused at this before smirking as well.
"Ill keep that in mind." He drawled Percy blinked.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" He asked suspiciously Poseidon just grinned at him.
"You'll just have to find out now won't you?" He said before looking back at Hermonie. "Now you need to go talk to Zeus we've kept him waiting long enough." He said Hermonie nodded looking serious now.
"He wants to know where Orion is right?" She asked Poseidon nodded. "Then lets go."
