Chapter 7

They have arrived at their Destination but the Boar has to go as it cannot for far longer 

ahead of them are  two-lane road half covered with sand. On the other side of the roadwas a cluster of buildings too small to be a town: a boarded-up house, a taco shop and a white stucco post officewith a sign that said GILA CLAW, ARIZONA hanging crooked above the door.

There was a range of hills but they aren't regular ones The countryside was waytoo flat. The hills were enormous mounds of old cars, appliances, and other scrapmetal. It was a junkyard that seemed to go on forever.

"Whoa," Said Percy 

"Something tells me we're not going to find a car rental here," Thalia said

"Nah there's not one here" said Ronan

She looked atGraver. "I don't suppose you got another wild boar up your sleeve?" 

Grover was sniffing the wind, looking nervous. He fished out his acorns and threw theminto the sand, then played his pipes. They rearranged themselves in a pattern, but Grover looked concerned. 

"That's us," he said. "Those five nuts right there."  

"Which one is me?" Said Percy

"The little deformed one," Zoe suggested.  

"Oh, shut up."  Said Percy

"That's Cute" Said Ronan

"That cluster right there," Grover said, pointing to the left, "that's trouble."  

"A monster?" Thalia asked.  

Grover looked uneasy. "I don't smell anything, which doesn't make sense. But theacorns don't lie. Our next challenge..." 

He pointed straight toward the junkyard. With the sunlight almost gone now, the hills ofmetal 

They Decided to camp for the night and try the junkyard in the morning.

Zoe have produce 5 sleeping bags and foam mattresses out of her backpack.

"How About Ronan?" Percy ask

"I have only 5" Said Zoe as she look at Ronan with Sympathy 

"Looks like she becomes soft" Though Ronan

"I can Manage" Said Ronan as he Snap his Finger sleeping bag and Foam mattress Appeared "Well i can make almost anything" said Ronan as he Sit 

As for the Night they looked at the skies 

"The stars are out," Zoe said.  

 There were millions of them, with no city lights to turn the sky orange

"Amazing," Bianca said. "I've never actually seen the Milky Way."  

"You do Realize were in the Milky Way? and Beside this is not a Clear View" Said Ronan

"Huh?" said Bianca 

"What i Mean is you must see the Proper View" Said Ronan

"This is nothing," Zoe said. "In the old days, there were more. Whole constellationshave disappeared because of human light pollution." 

"You talk like you're not human," "said Percy

Zoe raised an eyebrow. "I am a Hunter. I care what happens to the wild places of theworld. Can the same be said for thee?" 

"For you," Thalia corrected. "Not thee" 

"But you use you for the beginning of a sentence." 

"Here we go again" Said Ronan

 "And for the end," Thalia said. "No thou. No thee. Just you"

Zoe threw up her hands in exasperation. "I hate this language. It changes too often!" 

"Well You can't blame the Person who Change it" said Ronan

They Talk for a while 

and Discover about Bianca for being stayed in the  What is the Lotus Casino as she and Her Brother stayed their for hours

Even Ronan have to Smack Percy in the head Due to his Idiocy because he could Correct the F.D.R  the American President

Binca and Nico has been stayed in the Casino for the last 70 years

Then out of Nowhere a headlight of a Car appeared 

Then it revealed to be limo

A Man appeared with a sword pointing it at Percy

Bianca and Zoe draw their bow 

Ronan have to summoned his sword

 As the owner of the sword gotout of the car

the Man  smiled cruelly. "Not so fast now, are you, punk?"

He was a big man with a crew cut, a black leather biker's jacket, black jeans, a whitemuscle shirt, and combat boots. Wraparound shades hid his eyes, but behind those glasses hollow sockets filled with flames.

"Ares," Percy growled

The war god glanced at Them  "At ease, people."

He snapped his fingers, and their weapons fell to the ground.  Except to Ronan

"How in Tartarus your weapon does not Drop" Said Ares

"Sorry, but my weapon only obeys me not you Lord Ares" He said Match the Glare of Ares with Ronan

"You, Got some warrior Spirit Punk" He said as Ronan's disappear his weapon as for non threatening manner

  "This is a friendly meeting." He dug the point of his blade a little farther under percy's chin

"Of course I'd like to take your head for a trophy, but someone wants to see you. And I neverbehead my enemies in front of a lady." 

 "What lady?" Thalia asked.

Ares looked over at her. "Well, well. I heard you were back." 

He lowered his sword and pushed percy away

"Thalia, daughter of Zeus," Ares mused. "You're not hanging out with very goodcompany." 

"What's your business Lord Ares?" Ronan Ask

"And Who's in the Car?" Thalia Ask

Ares smiled, enjoying the attention. "Oh, I doubt she wants to meet the rest of you.Particularly not them." He jutted his chin toward Zoe and Bianca. "Why don't you all go getsome tacos while you wait? Only take Percy a few minutes." 

"We will not leave him alone with thee, Lord Ares," Zoe said.  

"Besides," Grover managed, "the taco place is closed."  

Ares snapped his fingers again. The lights inside the taqueria suddenly blazed to life.The boards flew off the door and the CLOSED sign flipped to OPEN. "You were saying, goatboy?"

"Do you really to him that Grover? of course he is god and he can make the Taco restaurant to opened" Said Ronan

"Sorry Ronan" said Grover embarrassed 

"Go on," Said Percy "I'll handle this."

"Are you sure Pecry?" Ronan ask and he feels Aphrodite's aura in the Limo

"You heard the boy," Ares said. "He's big and strong. He's got things under control."  

They Proceed to the Taco restaurant while Percy was in the Limo

"I Hope he was Okey" Said Ronan as he Looked at the Limo

"Ronan your the strongest Here you can just you know go there and saved?" Said Thalia

"Well i can't Abuse my powers Thals and Beside he is not in Danger... Yet" said Ronan

"It's Because they never believe i equality as for the Creator have made both Man and Woman to be born Equal there is no Higher or Lower and there is no such thing as a Superior Gender " said Ronan

"But why? it is always man who do such despicable things" She argue

"Is it? Zoe? Even Woman can be vicious and can do Despicable as man" said Ronan

"It's Impossible no Woman can do that" Said Zoe

"Then tell me first Who opened the Pandora's Box? the original of evil is it Man who opened it? or a Woman?" He ask

"Woman" Zoe Said

Then Proceed to tell some historical woman who have act do evil "So what do you think Zoe? do you really think it is only man? well let me tell you you just stumbled upon a wrong Man and you just judge all of them to be evil that which my Mother Hates and i hate your belief as it against for my Mother's Teachings about equality" He said to her

"And do you know the Campers hates you? (She Shook her head) it's because you stole their sisters and made them hate them as well, Tell me if you have Brother well you going to hate him because he is a boy?" He ask "And Even i have to remind them not to flirt with you and it is better to use hate and so they will not flirt with you rather they will hate you and that is why i prevent Bianca to Join your club of Virgins as for every Man and Woman Deserves to have at least to feel love and there is no Such thing as men are evil or gender superiority there is only Good and Evil in this World Zoe Remember that" He said

Zoe was Speechless to that and could not answer "I Can't have an answer to that dispite to have been live for 2000 years of my self i have never talk someone that to me" She said in a softer voice "And Thee Begun to be softer to me why is that Ronan?" She ask

"As i said Zoe (He Smiled) You have becoming to be Soft to me and Tolerate Percy and Grover" he said

"Correct Zoe and my Mother Told me there is only one rule you must follow never ever piss him off couse the last one who did it let's just say he made the person fade" He said "And also he is Lazy" He said with a chuckle 

"Lazy? It is normal for thee Men?" She ask

"Well my Mother said it is better for him to be Lazy because when he is serious you know what happened to the War and his hatred to Evil Knows no Bounds he would have surely slaughter every living people here" He said "And it is better he must be lazy" He said

"And this Arcangel i only heard it in the Christian Myth" Zoe Said

"Well yes he is Christian and if i'm Correct then God is the true Creator of these Universe and while my Mother Chaos is just the one who created the Greek myth" He said

"If that so, Do thee think he will help us in the Coming war?" She ask 

"I Feel he will and Remember his Father God is omnipresent he is everywhere to us Zo and that means he will surely help us in the future" He said to her

"I Never though Thee know more about the Christians" Said Zoe with a Smile
