Orion groaned and cracked his eyes open to find himself on the bank of the lake, and still in dragon form as the sun peaked over the horizon. He blinked and tried to move only for a voice to stop him. "Stay still I can't heal you if your jumping around." Said Hermonie smiling up at him. Orion looked at her silently for a moment before sighing and relaxing again as she sent water flowing over the massive already half healed gouges in his back healing them completely. Hermonie looked over the dragon with a smile she hadn't been able to see him very well the night before, and with the sun finally rising she got her first good look at him.
He wasn't black as she'd originally thought she saw, rather he was a deep metallic bronze color that lightened to almost gold in places. His head didn't look like any dragon she'd ever seen before either, the scales on his head were so smoothly laid out it was more like he was wearing a mask made from one massive piece of molded metal. Three curving horns projected from either side of his head as well decreasing in length the closer they got to his jaw. It almost made him look like he was wearing a spiked crown.
His body was thin and serpentine not like the bulky creatures you usually imagined when you thought 'dragon' and he didn't have front legs instead he stood on the wrist joint of his wings which held two scythe shaped claws. It was hardly a good design if you wanted to be able to move on the ground, but it was perfect for something that was built for the air and only the air.
"Hell of an entrance you made before." She said he snorted and rolled his eyes before sending her and image of a dragon fighting an evil knight to rescue the damsel in distress. She gave him an evil eye.
"I am not helpless thank you very much!" She said and he gave her a wide eyed look of absolute innocence as though asking how she ever thought he would say such a thing! She just laughed not believing the act for a moment.
"Right," She drawled smirking at him and threw a car sized ball of water at his face, he snorted and sneezed the water having gone up his nose and glared at her making her giggle. He hissed at her making her laugh harder and he huffed annoyed.
"Your awake I see." Said someone else drily he glanced towards the voice without moving his head. The speaker looked to be around 26 or so with long black hair tied back in a tail. He was currently helping another teen walk over to them. Orion stared at the younger of the two, he had never seen someone with eyes that shade of blue before. A moment later Hermonie spoke pulling his attention back to her.
"Orion this is Triton and Perseus, my brothers. Triton, Percy this is Orion although he usually doesn't look like a dragon." She said they both nodded smiling.
"Nice to meet the guy thats got Zeus so worked up." Said the younger one, Perseus he thought. "You should have seen the thunder storm when he found out what had happened to you." He continued grinning. Orion hummed to himself at this but didn't let him get his hopes up. Zeus was probably only angry because it had been a Titan that had gotten away with this, not really because of him. He sighed and glanced at Hermonie who was just finishing healing his back. A minute later she let the water fall away from him and he picked his head up carefully mindful of the fact that he would squash someone if he wasn't careful, his head was the size of a mini van on its own.. He growled to him self and looked around at the now cratered lawn of Hogwarts castle for a moment before looking back at the other three. He sent Hermonie a picture of Krios and a question she grinned.
"He's not dead," She answered wryly. "But apparently he's about as close to it as he can get it'll be centuries before anyone has to worry about him." She finished he nodded looking back towards the forest before a hint of movement in the corner of his eye caught his attention, he slammed a wing forward between the group by his head and the blaze of green light now headed their way. The death curse was absorbed into his wing soundlessly with absolutely no effect. He snarled recognizing the silhouette of the person who had attacked them.
Dumbledore.
He had just defeated a Titan! And this moron dared to attack him? The depths of the mans stupidity was astounding! He roared at Albus hauling himself to his feet as another green curse chromed off his head to no affect. He snarled leaping over the three on the ground and charging. Apparently Dumbldore wasn't that stupid, and at the sight of a charing dragon the size of a jet Albus disappeared with a crack apperating away. Orion skidded to a halt and turned tracking the magic and firing a lightning bolt at Dumbldore as he reappeared, forcing the sorcerer to apperate again to avoid being fried. "ORION!" He turned to look at Triton who had yelled. "Do not kill him! He is to be brought before the counsel to be punished for his actions!" He added Orion stared at him for a moment before huffing and taking a step back. Triton nodded and stalked out to deal with Dumbldore. Orions current form not being very conducive to the whole 'bring him back alive' thing.
Dumbledore frowned in confusion seeing as the entire conversation had occurred in ancient Greek, and was subsequently not prepared for the spell that turned him into a seashell a moment later. Not that he could possibly blocked it if he had. Triton picked up the shell and eyed it for a moment before putting it in his pocket Triton then looked over at Orion.
"Can you change to something of a bit more manageable size?" He asked Orion shrugged and focused his magic. Picturing his Demigod form, and after a moment his magic snapped back forcing him back to normal. He staggered nearly falling flat on his face before Hermonie caught him. He looked up grinning wryly and saw the weird look he was getting from Triton.
"What?" He asked the god just shook his head.
"You didn't just change your physical form when you did that!" He said sounding confused Orion gave him a black look.
"Soo...?" He asked mystified at why this was a problem.
"You shouldn't be able to do that!" He said exasperated Orion just looked at him quizzically.
"Do what? Shape shift?" He asked Triton just shook his head.
"No, go from being mortal to being immortal at the drop of a hat like that! Its impossible!" He said looking frustrated, Orion just shrugged.
"Me and Hermonie do 'Impossible' on a regular basis guess it's just something else to add to the list." He said looking down at her in concern. "How are you anyway? Last I saw you had a spear though your shoulder." She shrugged.
"Im fine, a little water does wonders, once Triton got me off that damn tree it wasn't difficult." He nodded tiredly eyes drooping.
"Well, since everyones alive and in more or less one piece can we go now?" Asked Percy.
"In a minute, Hermonie can I barrow your wand?" Asked Orion she nodded and handed it to him. He made a sharp slashing motion and focus on his sword. "Acio!" He stated concentrating. Within moments his sword came flying out of the forest where he'd lost it when Dumbledore had attacked him. He sighed canceling the spell and catching the blade putting it back in its sheath. Luckily the gold focus on his wrist had gone unnoticed as a bit of jewelry so he still had it, he just wasn't quite good enough yet with it for that spell. He handed her back her wand and whistled loudly. Percy looked like he was about to ask what the hell that was about when a pair of screeches heralded the arrival of Hedwig and Kaze. He grinned at them as hedwig landed on his arm and Kaze trotted up next to them head butting Hermonie to get her to scratch his crest. "Right we can go now." He said they nodded looking a bit oddly at the Hippogriff and the large white bird that was now sitting on his shoulder.
"A moment before you leave." Said a voice that had Orion and Hermonie grinning they turned and spotted Horus and Bennu. Hedwig took off again with an annoyed hoot as they both all but tackled Bennu in a hug. Horus smiled slightly at their antics and looked back towards the two other children of Poseidon. "I apologize for not being here earlier." He said politely "But Krios's magic was shielding the area, we couldn't get in." Triton nodded.
"Its not a problem it all worked out well enough." He answer diplomatically. Horus nodded and looked back over at Bennu, Orion, and Hermonie. Hermonie was excitedly telling him about the day she had spent at camp and meeting her father and the other Olympians. He was listening intently with a smile.
"Im glade, you've have both done well." He said grinning Hermonie and Orion smiled. Bennu took a step back and pulled something out of his pocket. It was a small vial of clear liquid. He handed it to Hermonie with a smirk she took it curiously.
"Whats this?" She asked.
"Phoenix tears." He answered. "It will cure any injury short of death no matter the circumstances." He looked at her with a raised eye brow. "And I believe you know someone back at camp in desperate need of that." He finished her eyes widened in realization, and she nodded again quickly unhooking her neckless with the Akhet on it and stringing the vial on as well to make sure she didn't lose it. "And before I forget, as a thank you for their assistance to you. We gave Sirius and Remus a lead on the whereabouts of the real harry potter who you were switched with 13 years ago, they left the country yesterday thinking you where both safely home to find him."(1) The two demigods stared at him dumbstruck.
"Seriously?" asked Hermonie stunned Bennu nodded smiling slightly.
"Yes, and they wanted you to know your still both welcome back anytime, just remember that alright?" He said they nodded again.
"Now I believe you four have some place to be." He said shooing them back towards Triton and Percy. "Go on, you parents are not doubt about ready to come charging over here to make sure you're all right." They nodded Horus waved at them and with a flash they were gone from the castle grounds and were back in the clearing the held the spell seal.
"This is unreal." Muttered Orion Hermonie laughed and hugged him.
"No kidding now come on I want to get back!" She said the all stepped onto the seal. Percy yelped and ducked as Hedwig tried to take a bite out of his hair and moved to the other side of the group glaring at the owl in irritation. Triton shook his head smiling and put a hand on Hermonies shoulder as she powered up the spell. With a blaze of blue green magic they were gone.

Hermonie sighed relived as they reappeared on the cliff side. Home sweet home she thought happily. The storm over there heads leveling off to a low roar after a moment the clouds still dark but no longer looking quite so dangerous. "what now?" Asked Orion looking around curiously.
"Well the quest isn't over until you two make it back to Olympus so we head for New York." Said Triton with a shrug Orion looked thoughtful.
"How are we planning on getting there?" He asked Hermonie shot him a look.
"You hit your head at some point Orion? Were taking the Akhet back, thats how we got here." She said drily he gave her a blank look at this before sighing.
"Right sorry im not really awake at the moment I haven't slept in two days." He said Hermonie looked concerned at this.
"Well you can sleep in my bunk on the Akhet on the way there. It should be about 10 hours at normal speed." She said he nodded leaning heavily on the Hippogriffs side, Kaze chirped at him and tugged on his hair. Orion batted him away tiredly.
"Stop that." He said looking sourly at Kaze only to have Hedwig bite his ear making him yelp. "What the hell was that for?" He snapped at her she just clacked her beak at him giving him her patented evil glare. Orion rolled his eyes and shot a look at Hermonie who was trying not to laugh. "Right can we go now?" He asked yawing Hermonie nodded and slid down a shallow spot on the cliff to the beach below. Orion looked down at her for a moment as Triton and Percy followed. Before jumping off the side and pulling on the air to slow his fall. He landed with a slight thump to see Hermonie rolling her eyes.
"Show off." She said and tossed the Akhet in pendant form into the surf causing it too return to its true form. Orion looked at the ship with a smile.
"Hell of a Christmas present you got there Hermione." He said grinning she nodded and they both dove into the surf swimming after Percy and Triton who had already headed out to the ship. Orion looked around as he climbed up the ladder impressed. "Those memories you sent me of this thing didn't do it justice." He said grinning Hermonie laughed. They looked over as a screech sounded and Kaze landed on the bow, he ruffled his wings before settling down there. "Well, someone looks comfortable" He said Hermonie rolled her eyes.
"Uhhu." She said laughing Percy yelped a moment later as Hedwig buzzed him whacking him over the head with a wing.
"Damnit! Orion tell your bird to stop attacking me!" He yelled ducking another pass. Orion snorted.
"Hedwigg! Leave him alone!" He yelled the owl screeched and settled on the top of the mast still giving Percy an evil glare.
"Right, now get down stairs." She said waving him towards the door. "You need to sleep before we get there." He nodded and headed for the door following Percy who was giving towards wary looks.
"Wow." He said looking around the room impressed Percy nodded.
"I know, kinda nice to travel in style for once." He agreed grinning and pointed across the room towards the bow. "Hermonies rooms there, someone will wake you up about an hour before we get there all right?" Orion nodded heading for the door.
"Thanks Percy." He said looking relived, five minutes later he had put his armor away and collapsed into the bed with a relived sigh. Between being tortured and fighting a Titan he was well over do for a good nap he thought his eyes falling closed.

(11 hours later)
Orion stared at the glittering skyline of New York a grin working its way on to his face. The sun had set about an hour before and they were just pulling in to the city after sailing down the long island sound and into the East River. They had sent Kaze off in the direction of camp with Hedwig a little while before, as they could hardly take a Hippogriff to New York with them. Hermonie was at the wheel right now maneuvering them through the river to a dock they could use. 10 minutes later she pulled them up at some tiny little dock that looked like someone had put it there as an after thought and forgotten about it. "All right everybody off!" She called prompting the other three to jump onto the dock, she stepped off a moment later as well and turned back to the Akhet. She put a hand on the side and after a moment it glowed blue and compressed into a little ball of light before turning back into a pendant. She reattached it to the neckless and took off down the dock to shore. "Come on you guys!" She called apparently not liking the rickety dock anymore then the rest of them, but it was either that or sail around for an hour to find a nicer one.
30 minutes later they were walking up to the empire state building, he slowed down craning his neck back to see the top of it only for Hermonie to tug on his arm and nearly nock him over. "Come on Orion, the views better from upstairs anyway." He nodded and let her pull him into the building where Triton was talking to the man at the desk who looked like he was going to have a heart attack. He was handed a key a moment later and Triton walked back over to them smirking.
"Well lets head up then I have the key." He said nodding to the elevator. Orion looked at them with a raised eyebrow at this.
"You can get to Olympus on an elevator?" He asked dubiously.
"Of course, unless you want to take the stairs?" Asked Percy grinning Orion laughed.
"Oh no, Ill take the elevator thanks." He agreed as they got on board. Triton inserted the key in the panel and turned it prompting a new button to appear labeled 600.
"Hang on." He said and pressed the button the doors closed and the elevator shot upward in a flash nearly nocking Hermonie and Orion, who had never come up this way, off their feet. The elevator pinged as it stopped and the doors slid open giving Orion his first, first hand view of Olympus.
"It looks cooler at night." Said Percy next to him grinning Orion nodded silently taking in the view. Hermonie tugged on his arm trying to get his attention.
"Come on Orion it'll still be here later we have to go see Zeus." She said this brought him back to reality with a snap. He shot her a look a hint of panic in his eyes, she sighed. "It'll be fine Orion, come on." She said he hesitated Hermonie rolled her eyes. "Move it or im telling everyone what happened last year after you fought Oro." She said a glint a of mischief in her eyes. Orion's eyes widened and he all but ran down the path dragging a laughing Hermonie with him.
"Must have been pretty embarrassing." Said Triton with a snicker Percy nodded and the both raced after the other two as well. In short order they had reached the massive doors to the counsel room. Triton gave the doors a push and they swung open.

Orion hesitated for a moment before stepping into the room it would seem that all 12 Olympians were here. He thought looking around the room nervously before focusing on the center throne. Zeus stared back at him intently and actually smiled. "It is good to see you have all returned alive and well, however seeing as you were outside this world we do not know what actually happened, and im sure everyone is curious to know what occurred." He said the four of them exchanged look before Hermonie stepped forward.
"It went well enough, we arrived without any trouble and made it all the way to the edge of the forest before we ran into trouble. Krios had left a ward on the area, but Triton was able to get us around it. He unfortunately had to opt out of helping any further so he would still be able to get us back here if we had to make a hasty retreat." Zeus shot an annoyed look at Triton at this making the younger god roll his eyes, Hermonie ignored the exchange and continued. "After we dropped him off at the lake me and Percy continued on towards the castle where Orion was being kept, but without Triton to help we ended up tripping a second ward. We didn't have a chance to get to the castle before Krios got there." Zeus frowned at this.
"Then how could you possibly have rescued Orion?" He asked with a raised eyebrow several of the other gods nodded as well looking curious Hermonie just ginned.
"Ill get to that in a second Lord Zeus." She said Politely and continued. "Anyway at the point me and Percy had no choice but to try to fight him, it didn't really work out. Percy was knocked out and I was speared to a tree threw my shoulder." She said wincing. "At that point Orion managed to pull off the second half of a spell Bennu gave us both." She said shooting a look his way. "It allowed him to change into a rather large Dragon." Triton snorted at that.
"Thats something of an understatement." He said drily. "That 'dragon' was the size of a jet and it was immortal." He said Hermonie shot a look his way annoyed at the interruption and subsequently missed the startled looks the gods exchanged at this proclamation.
"Thats impossible." Said Zeus with a frown. "Changing into a dragon I can believe, but Orion could not just have become immortal on his own like that, especially as I can see he is not right now. You must be mistaken on that point." He said Hermonie looked at Orion with a raised eye brow. He just looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding and concentrating on his magic. With a snap his magic shifted his form followed suit. Leaving 150 feet of immortal dragon sitting behind the other three. All the gods stared for a moment stunned by this. Orion just tilted his head to the side and made an odd rumbling noise that sounded suspiciously like a laugh.
"Apparently it is quite possible." Stated Artemis looking intrigued. Orion looked at her and nodded slightly.
"Ya but can he fight?" Asked Ares with a laugh Orion snapped his head around and snarled showing off fangs that where still stained gold from the battle with Krios.
"Considering he killed Krios id say he quite capable of fighting Ares." Snapped Hermonie looking irritated. The dead silence that followed this statement was really something else.
"He killed Krios?" Asked Athena dubiously, Orion grinning toothily at them.
"Krios is about as dead as an immortal can get." Said Triton amused. "And it was quite the fight too." He added grinning at the slightly stupefied looks they were getting.
"So Orion beat Krios and that was it?" Asked Poseidon warily looking like he didn't want any more surprises tonight.
"Beat him?" Said Triton with a laugh. "He completely wiped the floor with him, Krios didn't have a chance, the battle only last 20 minutes if that!" He said Zeus appeared to have gotten over his astonishment at this point and laughed.
"Good!" He said smirking and looked at Orion. "You have done well Orion, not many demigods can say they've killed a Titan." He said smiling, Orion started at him startled at the praise for a moment before nodding. "Good now on too our second order of business." He said loosing the smiling and turning his eyes to Triton. "You captured the sorcerer that assisted Krios?" He said flatly a dangerous glint in his eyes. Triton nodded and pulled the shell out of his pocket tossing it into the middle area near the fire where it promptly turned back into Dumbledore. The sorcerer looked around wildly in confusion for a moment before apparently putting two and two together and tried to apperated away.
This of course didn't work, not by a long shot, it was kinda funny though. "Albus Dumbldore." Said Zeus flatly glaring at the mortal sorcerer. Dumbledore puffed up indignantly proving once again he had absolutely no sense of self preservation.
"I don't know what you think iv...!" He began.
"SILENCE!" Roared Zeus effectively shutting Dumbledore up. "You mortal, assisted a Titan in stealing two demigods and bound their power. You have since torture my son and tried to kill both him and Hermione, Daughter of Poseidon." He said flatly the rest of the gods although having known a mortal was involved in the situation looked appalled at what the fool had gotten away with. "Do any disagree that this fool should be sentenced to Tartarus?" He asked looking around the room, no one said anything. Zeus nodded looking back at Dumbledore who had paled dramatically at Zeus's words. "You are here by sentenced to eternity in Tartarus!" He snapped and Dumbledore vanished with a terrified yell. "Now that that is taken care of consider your quest a complete success children. You may return to camp, Orion remain the rest of you may go." He said calmly most of the gods and goddess vanished at this, giving Orion and Hermonie appraising looks as they went. Hermonie looked at Orion in concern, he nodded to her and she sighed leaving the room along with Percy and Triton, Poseidon following them without a backward glance. Once the room was empty Zeus stood with a sigh looking thoughtfully at orion who was still in dragon form. "I am truly glade you made it back Orion." He said walking over. Orion titled his head to the side looking uncertain. Zeus just sighed and shook his head "I almost wish you had not quite so effectively destroyed Krios so I could punish him myself, but I suppose that doesn't really matter."
"How was he able to get away with taking me and Hermonie?" Orion thought, not entirely sure if Zeus would hear him, Zeus sighed though and answered.
"You were only a few months old when your older sister had to head for the camp, I was trying to ensure her safety as much as I could given that I couldn't truly interfere, and by the time the situation had been resolved you were gone and your sister was all but dead." He said Orion stared at him startled.
"I have a sister?" He asked Zeus sighed.
"Yes although... In getting to camp she was traveling with two other demigods, they made it all the way to the border of the camp. No monster can cross the border, but they were attacked by the Furies before they could reach safety, Thalia distracted them while the other two made a run for the border. They made it but Thalia was fatally injured, rather then let her die so she could be tormented by Hades I turned her into a pine tree." He finished Orion blinked.
"So my sisters a tree?" He asked Zeus nodded. "Well thats not so bad I suppose, lots of worse things one can get turned into." He said after a moment before frowning. "Wait a minute..." He muttered suddenly. "Is Hermonie still here?" he asked sharply.
"No, she and the others are back at camp already, why?" Zeus asked frowning.
"Before we left Bennu gave Hermonie a vial of Phoenix tears, he said it would heal any injury short of death, and that there was someone at camp who needed it! Is there anyone else at camp he could have been referring too?" He asked staring at Zeus intensely all but twitching in place Zeus frowned.
"No there is not, and further more Thalia's tree was poisoned earlier this year by a traitor in an attempt to weaken the camp borders, the quest to retrieve the golden fleece to heal her failed as well." He said with a grin. "It most likely was Thalia he was referring too." He finished Orion hissed gleefully at this and abruptly changed back into his demigod form.
"Whats the fastest way to camp from here?" He asked.
