Chapter 7: Poseidon's Deep Dark Secret
Mika woke up and looked at her ceiling. She felt a cool breeze on her face. She moved and remembered she was under water. She looked at the clock. 12:03. She got up and swung her feet over the side of the bed. She took a deep breath, and got up. She strected and then went to the window. There's so many things to see... she thought. Then she decided to explore til the meeting. She went to the bathroom and washed her face and brushed her teeth. Then she slipped out of the room. She went down the hallway and came upon a fork in the road. One was brightly lit and the other... not so much... Naturally... she took the darker one. About every ten feet there was a lamp with an electric eel in it. Shadows danced on the floor. No one was coming up or down the hall. She shrugged and went on. She tried a couple doors, but they were locked. She was about to turn back when she saw a staircase that she hadnt seen before. She took a cautious step and went down it. At the end, there was a door. It was locked. She was about to go back to her room when she heard a groan from behind one of the doors. She jumped and looked through the key hole. Another dark passage way. Then she took a better look at the lock. She knew how to pick locks and this one wouldnt be so hard. She got a booby pin from her pocket and started working at the door. click. It was open. Before she could change her mind, she opened the door. The light from behind her lighted about 10 feet of the room. But that was enough. Gaunt faces stared back at her. Their eyes were blank, like they felt nothing. She stepped back a step. They were kids. Her age. Locked in cells. The closest one had a boy who looked about 15. His face was white and his brown eyes stared back at her. His lips were chapped and somewhat bloody. She turned around and saw a girl. She was the same way. All the way down the hall, faces looked at her. She couldn't even see the end. She finally got over her shock and cleared her throat.
"what..."
The boy with the dark hair and brown eyes answered her silent question.
"why are we here? poseidon put us all here... after we some how offended him."
Mika looked at him in disbelief.
"guess he wanted us in case of a war or sumfin... so he could take control over us..."
Mika's eyes windened.
"why havent yall gotten out... i mean... i can tell yall are half-bloods... like me..."
The guy raised a his hand. There was a dark red bracelet with the name Ares on it.
"somehow this makes us lose what ever powers we got... idk how it works..."
"your an ares kid?"
"yep... was helping my dad get something of his from down here... except poseidon got me and threw me in here..."
Mika nodded. She looked around at all the kids.
"are all there stories basically the same?"
"pretty much... unless he got em for a trade with another god or sumfin..."
Mika was stunned. Poseidon had seemed so nice. Then she wondered. If she did something wrong... would he put her in here? and what about the Hecate kid? if she did defeat it... would it come here? She shook her head. He was heartless. Stealing away kids lives like that. She examined the locks. Each was different. She guessed each was for a different god or goddess, cuz some were the same... the one that had the same bracelets on. She looked at the kid with the brown eyes.
"whats your name anyway?"
"cal..."
"ok cal... im gonna get yall outta here... no matter what..."
She looked down at her watch. It said 3:35. She cussed to herself.
"something wrong?"
"well... i gotta meet poseidon.... or he'll probably be pissed. and that would get us no where..."
Cal nodded. "you better go before he finds you."
Mika flashed a smile. "i promise... ill get yall outta here."
With that, she turned and locked the door back, and walked back to her room.

Chapter 8: the plan comes out
Mika walked back to her room in deep thought. She almost ran into some one. She looked up and saw Poseidon. She had a sudden urge to slap him on the face. Instead, she smiled at him. His face softened.
"did you rest well?"
Mika nodded. She gave a yawn for the effect. Poseidon grinned.
"time to show you how this will work."
They walked down to the conference room. There was a table with a map on it. It was more like a projector though... except... it moved when ever poseidon touched it. He pointed at a deep trough between two large mountains.
"that is where oceanus is. The fulgarite bars are across the trough at all the open spots. We believe that hecate's kid is... there."
He pointed to the left side of the trough, in a dip of the sea scape. Mika nodded.
"we want you to either: a. Kill it... which we dont want you to do... or b. capture it... that will be harder... i probably wont be able to come with you because eris will be able to sense me coming. Youll have to go alone."
Mika whipped her head up and was about to protest until Poseidon lifted his hand.
"that is decided... i cant come..."
Mika frowned and looked back at the map. She traced the outline of the camp with her finger. She frowned and looked from the trough to the supposed camp site.
"where's the door to the trough?"
"on the left side..."
Mika nodded her head. "i think that they might be camped out in that cave looking thing on the right side... much better defensive position... and its in the side of a mountain... where they could get up to the surface quick if need be..."
Poseidon rolled his eyes. "im pretty sure that they're on the left side in that valley. There are tents and everything set up. A boat is anchored near that spot too."
Mika thought for a secong. "are you sure that people are set up there?"
"positive."
Mika took a deep breath. "i have a bad feeling about this."
Poseidon rolled his eyes. "any way... youll have to sneak up on them from over here."
he pointed to the left of the camp. "from there... youll cut through their defensive barrier... and go to the main tent. From there... you decide whether to kill the kid or not... then... to escape... you go through the front gate... any questions?"
Mika shook her head.
"good... when do you want to get started?"
Mika thought about her promise to the kids in the cells. If she could get them out before she went... she could probably get them passage home... if she bargained with the sea god.
"give me a week to get ready..."
poseidon nodded. "ok... ill have my wife help you... and do you have any weapons?"
Mika shook her head. "other than the sword artemis gave me... nothing..."
Poseidon nodded again. "we'll have to figure out what you can use as weapons. Can you use arrows?"
Mika shrugged.
"dagger? mace? taser? machine gun? revolver? pistol? handgun? were running outta options here...''
Mika shrugged. She took out her sword from its sheath. She looked at it.
"can we go back to olympus for a while?"
Poseidon's eyes narrowed. "why?"
Mika sighed. "well... i need practice... and artemis can help me.. and maybe we can find some weapon that i can use."
She didnt say she wanted to go and see if she could find something to help her friends downstairs.
"sure... why not?"
Mika smiled. "thanks..."
She put her sword back in her sheath and walked out of the room.

Chapter 9: Mt Olympus... again...
At about 5, Poseidon came to take her back to the surface. They took a boat all the way up to New York's port and went to the empire state building.
"im gonna go first.. in about ten minutes you can come up..."
"what ever..."
Poseidon then left mika in the lobby downstairs. He dissolved in a breeze of salty water. Mika picked up J-14, but couldnt consentrate. She looked at the elevator, and then her watch. it had only been two minutes. She shrugged. i can go now and always say that i heard him say two... she went to the receptionist.
"can i go to the 600th floor?"
He rolled his eyes. "there isnt 600 floors..."
Mika glared at him. Her hands on the desk started to spark.
The receptionist looked at her hands... and then her face. He handed her a key card.
"make sure no one's in the elevator with you... theres a slot next to the ground floor button. Put that card in it."
Mika smiled and went to the elevator. She hopped on it and slipped the card into the slot. There was a whir and a 600 button appeared above all the others. She pushed it. The elevator went up so fast she would have fallen over if not for the hand rail. There was a small window in the door and she looked out from it. Big mistake. She closed her eyes and hoped the ride would be over soon. And just like that it stopped. The elevator doors dinged and then opened. She stumbled out onto the stone walkway. And took a deep breath. As many times as she would see Mt. Olympus in the future... she would always have her breath taken away. She walked down the stone walkway and came up to the sword arena. She saw artemis and smiled. She ran over to her and gave her a hug. Artemis swung around and saw mika and laughed.
"scared me there for a second... thought you were a guy at first."
Mika smirked.
Artemis looked around to see if any one was listening. She drew mika to a pavilion beside the arena.
"what are you doing back here?"
Mika shrugged. "poseidon wants me to learn some sword stuff and some other things before i go on my quest."
Artemis nodded. "and im supposed to teach you?"
Mika nodded. "if you want..."
Artemis smiled. "i like to give myself a challenge every once in a while."
Artemis pulled out her sword. But before Mika pulled hers out, she asked a question.
"how come no one sees this place? i mean its hanging in plain sight..."
Artemis sighed. "no one has explained it to you yet?"
Mika shook her head.
Artemis rolled her eyes. "some people are so not responsible..." then she put her sword back.
"ok... so there are gods... demi gods... and mortals... the gods... you know what they are... there are minor gods and major gods... 13 major to be exact... zeus, poseidon, hades, hera, me, aphrodite, ares, dionysus, demeter, hermes, apollo, athena, and hephastus. We have the most important powers. Then there's the minor gods. They have a little less important powers than us... you probably know some of them... hecate... persephone... nyx... and a bunch of others. mortals are poeple who pretty much have nothing to do with us... there are a couple mortals who can see through the mist but that is really rare. Demi-gods are kids who have a mortal parent and a god parent. They can be killed with mortal weapons and god weapons... so there always in constant danger... they cant see through the mist very well... unless there in camp or with a god... or if there eyes adjust... does that answer your question?"
Mika thought for a second. "sure... i guess it does..."
Artemis smiled. "good... now lets see what we can do about some weapons."
