Luna Silver: Daughter of Artemis: Chapter 20

Chapter 20 – We take our leave
When I got outside I was greeted by Raina and Emily who were tearful all the way as we went to Half Blood Hill. They looked fit and healthy; it felt great to see them well and healed after they have been through. They wore the usual camp shirt, jeans and sneakers.

“Take care always, Luna.” Emily told me on the way as she wiped her tears.

“I know you can save you Mom,” Raina said, “You will save Artemis.”

I nodded and gave them hugs before I met up with my teammates waiting for me at the foot of Thalia’s tree.

They were surrounded by campers who were cheering them; the Athenian kids were patting Cuinn on the back while telling him about some game plans, while Percy, Annabeth and Chiron were talking to Nico. I noticed some Aphrodite kids were calling Cuinn and Nico to get their attention, when I got closer I realized why.

Cuinn wore a button down shirt, which had the camp’s insignia on the upper left part of the shirt, the color of periwinkle; he had the sleeves pressed to his elbow, dark blue jeans and white sneakers – he looked utterly divine.

Nico, on the other hand, wore a black camp shirt that had the words: HALF BLOOD in silver on it matching gray flak jacket and cargo pants and black converse shoes – he was just enigmatically handsome.

“You three look quite a pair.” Annabeth hinted, her camp necklace was over her shirt, it was the first time I saw it.

Percy smiled at us and said, “Good luck, you guys. And may the gods guide you.”

Annabeth patted Cuinn on the shoulder and whispered a blessing passed through all Athenian kids every time they had a quest.

Cuinn looked like he was glowing after Annabeth had finished the blessing.

“Argus is waiting in the van; he will take you to Manhattan where you will start your journey.” Chiron said before he snapped his fingers twice and three blue backpacks appeared at his foot, “Take one for each. Inside are enough food supplies, clothes, and some ambrosia and nectar.”

We took the bags and readied ourselves, then Chiron gave us his blessings and we were saying our goodbyes to everyone. After a moment the three of us went to the van – I was in the passenger seat, while the two boys were on the back seat.

Before I knew it, we were heading towards Manhattan.
