Prologue

​The world is our life and our hope. There’s hope around every corner and that’s what keeps us alive and happy. But if hope is gone, what would happen? Chaos? Destruction? Well, this is a story of how two demigods, more specifically twins, along with the help of their friends, go on a daring adventure and experience their greatest experience yet. '''OxXxO '''

She was looking. She looked everywhere but it was nowhere to be found. She knew that this day would come. She never lost hope, but she knew it was stolen. But who could have stolen it? She now needed help from them. The fate of the hope lies on the hands of the demigods now. More specifically, twins. She needed to send the message fast. There’s not much time before they open it. “The fate lies on their hands now. They will need my help,” Hestia said finally while tending the fire.

Lexi thought she would still have nightmares about the explosion. She was 5 years old when it happened. A very perfect birthday party ruined because of an explosion on the yacht. She was really scared of that incident that she developed aquaphobia because of it. But now, she had the weirdest dream yet. She was in the Hall of gods, specifically in front of the hearth, where she saw an eight-year-old girl pacing back and forth murmuring and mumbling like she was in serious trouble.

The girl then looked at Lexi like she saw her and mumbled in front of her. The only thing she understood was, “The pithos is missing, find it, my dear.”

“Pithos? What pithos?”

The girl’s hands held Lexi’s hands and looked her into the eyes. Her eyes were red fire. Lexi was very familiar of her like she's seen her before, and that’s when Lexi realized that she was Hestia, the goddess of the Hearth.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">“I am Lexi Shaine James. Daughter of Hermes and camper of Camp Half-Blood. If Hestia wants me to do this, then I will find this “pithos”. It’s do or die time!” she said to herself.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">“And, I’m gonna die.” After that, she woke up with a start.
