After slipping into the shadows they managed to make it to Kanas where they meet up with Mrs. O' Leary who greeted them with her kisses.

They make it to Arizona without any further attacks which Reyna was great full for. Maybe the gods have heard her prayers.

As they stand at the border going to make they next jump this time in Los Angeles.

"I can't take you." Nico said as Mrs. O'Leary whimpers and nuzzles him, "Go back to Camp Half Blood where's it safe promise me girl?"

She licks him then bounces over to Reyna doing they same which causes Reyna to smile, "We'll see you when this is all over."

And with the Mrs. O'Leary was gone and Reyna and Nico were they only ones standing.

"Should we send am Iris Message?" Nico suggested and Reyna shakes her head.

"No we have only been on this quest for two days. We can message then when we get to camp, and last I recall we can't IM for unknown reasons." Reyna said pacing the sun beating down on them, butting down on her lip.

Camp.

It had seemed not that long ago she was at the Wolf House.

But the closer Camp the more she was scared about her nightmare coming true. Nico dying. The blood bubbling at his mouth dripping into the sand.

She squeezes her eyes to keep the image out of her hear but the image burned brighter in her mind.

"Reyna?"

She opens then not starring at Nico.

There's something bothering you, tell me." He sits down on a boulder.

"Nothing." Reyna said her voice strong not quavering as she spoke.

A sly grin plays at his lips, "I'm not Shadow Jumping until you tell me."

She narrows her eyes, "You wouldn't."

"Try my daughter of Bellona."

It was silent for a good hour neither one of them budging until Reyna snapped.

"Di Angelo! I didn't not get attacked by Hellhounds, Harpies and Basilisk to stop when we are so close-"

"But so far that's why we need to Shadow Jump."

Reyna moves so that are so close she can see the darkness in his eyes hidden under his lashes, "Shadow Jump now."

"Make me." He whispered back and Reyna chuckles.

"Gods I hate you." She shakes her head with smiling, "We go if I tell you what's troubling me?"

He nods his head in a yes way.

"Fine. I'm just thinking about a nightmare about my past." She said which was partly true. She has been thinking but not about her past.

"Oh," He steps closer, "That wasn't so hard see? Now let's go."

They both reach out and grip each other's hand halfway. And not matter how many times Reyna did this. She could always feel the electricity and didn't want to let go.

.........

When her feet are on hard ground again the air is much cooler. She looks at the signature piece of San Francisco. The Golden gate bridge.

"I thought we were jumping to LA?"
Reyna inquires as she looks at the surrounds.

"I must have over estimated-" Reyna quickly claps her hand over his mouth as voices come nearer.

She unclamps her hand and silently pleads for Nico to go up the tree. He sends her a look but obeys.

Reyna gets a running start as she jumps and both hands land on the smooth branches of the tree and swings upward the leaves a perfect cover.

"I thought I s-s-smelled something." One of the monsters hisses.

Her instincts were right it wasn't mortals. So much for being monster free.

"All I smell is the s-sea. Ugh! So s-salty." Another gags.

"No you idiot demigods-"

The other bellowed with laughter, "They're camp is not too far. And have you should relaxed our allies out at their door!"

"Oh right!"

There laughter sounds like ice in a blender machine.

"They'll never s-s-suspect our hiding place." The hissing is being carried -away.

A few moments after Reyna and Nico drop drown they see various monsters all headed toward the same direction. Whether walking, flying or slithering.

"Do you see where they are going Nico?" Reyna said quietly as a cyclops passes them just twenty feet away.

It takes him only a second, "Mount Diablo."

"So we were right." Reyna said but her voice was clipped, it held no joy that they know where there enemies are.

"Shall head west. Pass the land without rain. Where there lies new banes." Nico said reciting the prophecy as the walk toward a Pier away from the monsters that either don't see them. Or don't care.

"But I don't get it. We headed west but this line with the land without rain-" Reyna stops with she sees the pain on Nico's face.

Standing at the end of the Pier was a girl. Maybe twelve of thirteen, but you could tell she was a ghost. Not like the ones from Camp Jupiter who were purple but she seemed to be in a solid form.

She had a stash of arrows on her back and a bow as well that were sliver-
Reyna eyes widen she was a Hunter of Artemis she has heard about.

"Bianca." Nico breaths and the girl shimmers.

"Nico." She said as she floats toward the pair and Nico makes her half way.

"So," He mumbles, "Your alive. Well not alive but I haven't been able to call on your ghost for some time. I tried even when you choose rebirth."

She signs softly, "It has been complicated Nico. Please believe me."

"Don't you think I would have just wanted to talk to you. Like how siblings are supposed to talk. Gods! I've missed you so much! I've been trying to find the reincarnated you." Nico cries out and grabs his own hair.

"Nico." Bianca said and reaches down as if to move his hair away but her hand passes straight through him.

"How are you even hear you choose rebirth?" He continues.

"I told you it was complicated." She said and smiles sadly at him, "But I'm so happy to see you Nico. So happy."

Reyna sees twin tears fall off Bianca face as she reaches out to Nico but she doesn't touch him.

"I saw you with Hades when I was in the underworld."

He did? Reyna wondered She has missed many things when she was resting.

"We were discussing you and the prophecy, but he made me leave." She explains pulling her hand back to her side.

"Gods." Reyna softly mumbles into his hands.

"Yes. It mentions the pass the land without rain which you passed with using shadow travel. Where I died." She takes a small breath even though she doesn't need air, "anyway I have come to tell you of the next lines."

"There's more." Reyna and Nico repeats at the same time forgetting there was more. Reyna shuts her eyes to think hard about the day the prophecy was issued.

She remembered.

"But the rest was burned." Reyna said speaking up.

"It was but the Oracle and the Augur have have worked together and finished the next Great Prophecy." Bianca said looking west, "They have just finished it."

"Can you repeat it?" Reyna asks looking her in her ghost eyes.

"Yes." Bianca said, "Here is goes."

Son of Death
Daughter of War
Shall head west
Pass the land without rain
Where there lies new banes
Who shall settle a score
War and Death united at last
Will reverse the past
Nine half bloods shall answer the call
Daughter of the King and Son of Theives
In the land of the gods against the odds
Where two cursed blades
Will end this war

Reyna felt all the blood drain from her face but maintained her stance, she didn't dare look over at Nico.

"Bianca-" He speaks up but she holds up her hand and Reyna sees she starting to disappear.

"I do not have much time but you must hurry to Camp Jupiter and," Her whole hand had gone with the wind, "I love you Nico. I hope you can forgive me."

Once those words escape her lips she completely disappear and it just leaves Reyna and Nico on the pier.

"I do forgive you Bianca," Nico puts his face in his hands, "I couldn't forgive myself."

Reyna places a hand on his shoulder and gives it a slight squeeze and he looks over at her with hollow eyes.

"Nico you already have." She said and took her hand away, "You just haven't realized it yet."

Nico gives her somewhat of a weak smile, "I wish that was true. Trust me."

"This place is getting to me," Reyna said changing the subject, "We should get going."

"Not yet." A unfamiliar voice said before they could turn around, "I would like to speak to you my daughter."

Reyna turned around slowly and meet the Goddess eyes, "Mother."

"Hello daughter," She said her tone somewhat light but her face remained unchanged.

"What are you doing here?" Reyna asks looking around but no mortals have come to the Pier.

"To speak with you why else?" Bellona said.

"What will you like to speak to me about Mother?"

"Something important," Bellona looks over at the Son of Pluto,"Alone."

"Fine." Nico said and walked to the other end of the Pier closer to the water.

"Reyna I have come to warn you about the dangers that lie in Camp Jupiter."

"I believe I already know that, new banes, new trials and of course a new war."

"That is all true, there is no avoiding it there is a new war and there first battle has just begun as we speak." The Goddess said calmly her hands intertwined over her stomach.

"Then we have to act now!" Reyna said and takes two speak forward before her mother stops her.

"I wasn't done."

"Then please continue." Reyna said tapping her foot impatiently.

"I wanted to wish you luck on the finial leg of your Quest," Bellona said and Reyna's eyebrows knit together, "And I have come with a gift to get you to the battle."

The Goddess waves her hand and then something descends from the sky taking the form of a pegasus. Her pegasus from Camp Half Blood.

"Scipio." Reyna gasps slightly as his peanut butter coat reflects the sun light that tries to break the dark clouds.

Nico was now at her side as Scipio was nuzzling his head in Reyna's hair.

"Good luck." The Goddess said Reyna and Nico shield there eyes as she takes her true form.

"We have to get to camp." Reyna said throwing one leg over Scipio back offering her hand to Nico, "The monsters have attacked camp."

He takes her hand, "Then let's go."

Once Nico is on Scipio back she gives him a slight kick with her heel and he soars into the sky heading toward Camp at blinding speeds.
