"Let's go downstairs, Bianca should be here soon," Livie suggested. Annabeth, Leo, Frank, and Piper nodded and followed the daughter of Eleos out of the room and down the stairs.
"Some of them know too. The Olympians haven't kept the secret camp a secret very well," someone was saying.
"It's fine. It's just a few. They're on a quest they needed the information," Luke said.
"Okay."
The five of them stood at the bottom of the stairs.
The woman that Luke was talking to had brown hair, kind, chocolate brown eyes, and pale skin.
She turned toward the group,"Hi, I'm Eleos. What are your names?"
Annabeth and Piper looked at eachother before looking back at the goddess in front of them.
"I'm Annabeth, this is Piper, Frank, and Leo," Annabeth said. Eleos nodded,"You're on a quest, yes?"
Annabeth nodded.
Eleos smiled,"I can help you with that. Where are you needing to go?"
"Phoenix, Arizona," Annabeth said. Eleos nodded and turned to Livvie,"Would you like to say goodbye to them, honey?"
Livvie smiled softly at the group,"It was lovely meeting you. Please, come back to visit soon." Annabeth nodded. Piper hugged Livvie tightly.Leo and Frank mumbled their goodbyes.
"Are you all ready?" Eleos asked. The four of them nodded.
"Hey," Kari walked out of the kitchen.
Kari smiled,"Annabeth!" She ran foward and crushed the daughter of Athena in a hug.
"Hey, Kari," Annabeth said. Kari frowned,"Please call me Bianca. Kari's a cover name." Annabeth smiled and nodded,"How've you been?"
"Good. I died. I was brought her. I met someone," Bianca smiled. Annabeth smiled,"When I get done with the quest, I'll come visit, and you can tell meall about them." Bianca smiled and nodded.

"Thank you," Bianca said happily and hugged Annabeth. Annaebth turned to Piper, Leo, and Frank,"Guys, this is Bianca, Nico's older sister."
"Nico has a sister?" Leo asked.
"Had," Bianca corrected,"I'm still dead. I just have a few more privledges than the average person here."
Leo nodded.
Eleos smiled softly,"Bianca, not trying to rush you. But, if they don't leave soon," she gestured toward the group of four,"then Myla will probably have killed the son of Poseidon that she captures and move." Annabeth wanted to break down and cry.
Stay strong, she reminded herself, you can't break down now.
Piper nodded,"Sorry to cut this short, Bianca. You seem like a really sweetperson, but we've got to go before Percy is killed."
Bianca nodded,"Please tell him who I am for me. And if you run into Nico-" Bianca paused, tears swimming in her eyes,"tell him... tell him I love him."
Annabeth nodded,"I'll make sure to tell the both of them." Bianca smiled,"Thank you."
"Thank you," Bianca smiled softly. Annabeth nodded.
"We ready to go?" Eleos asked. Annabeth looked at everyone in the room and nodded.
The room faded to black. When Annabeth opened her eyes, they were in a blank white room.
"Where are we?" Leo asked. Eleos smiled softly,"We're in Myla's... place. It's not a home, she doesn't sleep."
"How?" Frank asked. Eleos shook her head,"I don't know."
Annabeth smiled,"Thank you. For everything."
Eleos smiled,"Of course. I must say, while I think your mother and Perseus is adorable, I've always thought you and Perseus was cuter." Annabeth smiled sadly,"We're over. We're not getting back together. Thank you though."

Eleos nodded,"Just have faith. As the Christistians believe, faith can open doors." With that Eleos dissapeared and a door appeared on the wall farthest from them.
"How are we going to trap Myla?" Leo asked.
"I think I have some rope in my backpack. I'm not sure how we'll slow her down enough to tie her up though," Frank said. Annabeth thought for a moment,"That's it!"
"What is?" Piper asked. Annabeth smiled,"Myla can't be slowed down, but there must be a way."
"Yeah," Leo said,"How is that sopposed to help?"
"We make it seem like we're not trying to catch her. We can wrap the rope aroundthe floor and fill in the others when we get in there," Annabeth said. Piper nodded.
"Let's go," Leo said excitedly and ran toward the door.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

Hail the King
When the common folk hear of the Hell King, they think of many different things"It is the king of monsters!" "A calamity unfolded that knows nothing but destruction" "The true pinnacle of hatred and wrath." "A savage demon that eats children" "It's no doubt the king of despair as well as every child's bed monster." However, when you ask those scholars of ages long past, they will answer "It is one of the many riddles of life, one that no man has yet solved." "It is a great question, one so great that you shouldn't ask." "I honestly don't know." "Truly child? Since youth have I dreamed of meeting it, and you expect me to fullfill such a task in my lifetime?" "Nobody truly has any evidence it is evil, yet at the mere mention of the name I tremble in fear." One thing is for sure. Nobody truly knows who said Hell King really is. Not the greatest of cultivators, the grandest of swordsmen nor the wisest of sages. Nobody even knows where the stories of the Hell King come from, and yet everybody knows them. This is a story about a broken man, a man cursed by the heavens, an enigma to the whole world, a ruler of a dead kingdom and a monster born out of despair. "I wish not for women, I wish not for gold nor do I wish for happiness. All I wish for is to be granted eternal rest."

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.

Orc Planet
What in the world is this place? I look around and see a line of empty jail cells next to us. The walls are covered with sharp stalagmites, and each of us have chains connected to our hands and ankles. Just a few hours ago I was eating top ramen in class and now I’m chained next to a weird dwarf. Maybe I’m dreaming, or maybe this is hell?

Grimoire: Retake
"Reality is different than a story or a game." That's what my best friend used to say to the otaku me all the times and I myself knew full well that it's true. Well, that was until now... Why you ask? Let me ask you instead, what if you woke up one day, remembered your past life, then found out you are a harem member of a RPG game? The harem MC is childhood friend A and the main rival is my brother B. Hah! And that's just the beginning! You are mistaken if you think that's all. How about an amazing finishing touch of having found out later that reality does not follow the original storyline but might actually be the improved sequel version of the RPG? Hahaha, God, I'm laughing tears of despair....
