Lunar's Plight

Calling an Ally

"Poseidon your son... he is very powerful... he nearly awoke Typhon from his slumber!" Zeus shouted at Poseidon who just smirked

"What, just because my son is powerful means it's my fault?" Poseidon asked to which Zeus growled

Suddenly Apollo clutched his head in pain and everyone looked at him as Justice tried to figure out what was wrong.

"My lord, what is going on?" Justice asked worriedly

"It feels like one of my domains just gained a ludicrous amount of power, and while it doesn't strengthen me, it just hurts... I think it's my domain over the Oracle..." Apollo explained as the pain in his head went away

"What's wrong bro? A prophecy?" Hermes asked and Apollo was shaking his head, Dionysus flashed into the throne room wiping his face tiredly

"Perseus went back into the maze" Dionysus said as he sat in his throne and everyone looked at him

"Again? He must be a traitor if he's going back into the maze" Athena said and Katelyn stood up and glared, an action that was followed by Shane, Poseidon, Dionysus, Justice, and Artemis

"With all due respect Lady Athena, but Perseus' Fatal Flaw is loyalty, that accusation was obviously stemmed from the hatred you have for Poseidon and his sons, but recently he has done nothing against you. Actually, he even offered to help you organize your library..." Katelyn declared and Athena's cheeks tinged a light shade of pink but it went unnoticed by the others

"I apologize..." Athena said and the guardians and gods and goddesses returned to either sitting or kneeling "I think the best course of action is to send in the quest members again, along with a guardian to protect the questers and Perseus"

"I'll relay the message, and shall I send in Amber?" Dionysus asked Artemis and she rolled her eyes

"Amber is not my guardian! But fine, send her, I don't care" Artemis said and Dionysus nodded before flashing out

Amber's POV:

Dionysus appeared in the center of camp and I bowed. He nodded his head as Shane appeared next to him and glared at me.

'Heh, bet she hates that a Beta Company trainee was able to be placed as a guardian' I thought to myself as I adjusted the increasingly uncomfortable shield on my arm

The damn thing seemed to be rejecting me, as if it had a mind of its own, it refused to move when I try to block a strike but whenever there was someone behind me the shield worked, as if it didn't care about me but the other person.

"Amber, you're going with the quest members to try and find Perseus" Dionysus said and I smirked

"Must mean that the male is a traitor, why else would you send me, the strongest guardian here?" I said proudly and Shane scoffed

"As if, the strongest were Phoenix and Percy, now it's just Phoenix" Shane said, "But even then, every one of the guardians can kick your ass if they wanted to, but you wouldn't even make them break a sweat." She finished and I bristled in anger

"Enough! Amber go wait for the quest members by Zeus' Fist! Shane Stop angering her" Dionysus said with a flash of purple in his eyes

"Yes milord" Shane said respectfully and I just nodded and walked away

(ten minutes later)

"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!!!" I growled in anger as the quest members argued with each other as we walked down the dark corridors with Rachel guiding us

"Why couldn't we be paired with Phoenix or Shane? They are at least nice" Luke exclaimed exasperated and I rolled my eyes

"I'm right here you know" I said flatly
