Chiron played a game with mr d and the satyrs. His hair was a bit longer than usual but still finely kept. He revealed his cards, garnering a groan from Mr D, who had apparently lost. He smiled as he saw them approaching, "ah, Alexander! Thalia! Percy! And this must be-"
"Nico Di Angelo", Percy put a hand on his shoulder, "he and his sister were the half bloods which Grover had found"
"So you succeeded then", Chiron let out a big sigh, tension easing from his face, before he noticed something, "what's wrong? Where is Annabeth?"
"Oh dear", Mr D said in a monotone, bored voice, dealing out another set of hands to himself and the satyrs. Chiron didn't get a hand, " not another one lost"
"What do you mean? Who else is lost?" Thalia asked, her eyes scanning the wine gods face.
Before he could answer, Grover came strutting in, a wild grin on his face, right next to the crimson slap mark, "the hunters are all moved in!"
"The hunters? I see we have much to talk about. Grover, perhaps you should take our young friend to see the orientation film" Chiron gave Grover a pointed stare.
"But… oh right. Yes sir", he nodded, guiding Nico outside.
As they walked out, they could hear Nico asking, "orientation film? Is it G or PG? Bianca is kinda strict-"
Chiron turned to Mr D, who was in the middle of the next game, "we should launch a search for Annabeth immediately"
"I'll go", all three half bloods spoke in unison. All three were friends of Annabeth and all three were determined to get her back.
"Certainly not", Mr D sniffed, " from what you have told me, we have broken even on this escapade. We have ,regretfully, lost Annie Bell-"
"Annabeth", Snapped Percy, clearly annoyed.
"Yes, yes and you have procured a small, annoying boy to replace her. So I see no point in risking further half bloods on a ridiculous rescue. The possibility that this Annie girl is dead is great. We don't even know where she is, if she is alive"
"Which is why we need a prophecy and-"
"Annabeth may be alive", Chiron cut Percy off, something strange in his voice, "she's very bright. If… if our enemies have her, she will try to play for time. She may even pretend to cooperate."
"That's right, Luke would want her alive, he doesn't have the heart to kill her", Thalia's gaze was somewhere, far, far away.
"In which case, I am afraid she'll have to be smart enough to escape on her own", mr D waved his hand and the Diet Coke in front of him magically refreshed.
Percy stood up, clearly riled up. Before Alex could try and channel calmness into him, he spoke, "you are glad to lose another camper, you'd like it if we all disappeared!"
"You have a point?"
"Yeah- just because-" before he could dig his own grave any deeper, Alex had begun channeling calmness into Percy, "get out of my head Alex!"
"You really shouldn't antagonise the gods like that. I know you are angry but think before you act" Alexander didn't stop channeling the calmness into Percy.
"SO COOL!" Nico burst through the door with Grover, pointing at mr D, "you… you're the wine dude!"
Mr D looked up from his cards, "the wine dude?"
"Dionysus, right? I have your figurine in my game, Mythomagic and a holo foil card too! And even though you have only got like five hundred attack points and everyone thinks you are the lamest god card, I totally think your powers are sweet!"
"Ah…" Mr D didn't quite know what to say, "well, that's… gratifying"
"You three, go down to the cabins. Inform them about a capture the flag game tomorrow evening" Chiron told the three demigods, "it is tradition, a friendly match, whenever the hunters visit"
"Yeah, I bet it's really friendly", Thalia muttered.
Outside, Alexander snapped at Percy, "do you really have to make enemies everywhere you go? I barely managed to stop you before you were smote by mr D! Do you want to be a dolphin that badly?"
"I know… it's just so unfair!"
"Thalia stopped in her tracks, "Percy, everything is unfair. You gotta pick your battles carefully"
"We will get Annabeth back", Promised Percy, "I just don't know how yet"
"First I found out Luke is lost… now Annabeth…" she wiped a tear from her face.
"Don't think like that"
"You are right", Thalia straightened her back, smiling again, "we will find a way! Percy, could you inform the cabins? Alexander and I have something to do back at our cabin"
"We do? I mean, yes- yes we do", Alex had no idea what she was on about but followed her to their cabin. The Zeus cabin was just as they had left it, their half finished game of monopoly sitting on the table. Thalia had been winning by a wide margin.
She went into the girls room and told him, "wait here, only come in once I tell you to"
Alexander nodded, sitting down on the sofa, pulling up his stats.

How far he had come since he had first awakened the system. He was more powerful than most demigods now, with a wide array of skills to fall back on.
"Come in", he heard Thalia speak from behind the door and he walked towards it, swinging it open. What he saw made him blush heavily. Thalia with nothing on, her pale skin alluring, her breasts perked up in arousal and her hand was on her hip.
"Thalia- I- what-?"
"I want you", she purred, "I want to know what it's like. I never want to be tempted by the hunters ever again and I want you inside me. Now drop your clothes, darling~"
