I... I won't let you control me, no matter how sweet the song.
Let me guess, are you a demigod child? Son of one of the Big Three?
Yeah... My dad's Poseidon, the god of the sea. What about you? Are you a demigod too?
Wait, what? You're not a demigod? But how are you here in the Labyrinth if you're not one of us?
My name is Lily and I am a siren. If my song is pleasant then I have done my job well. I’m actually surprised I didn’t see any other demigods before..
A siren? You're the one responsible for this whole enchanting trap, aren't you? Why would you do this?
I was told to catch the attention of the best of the best and by the looks of it, your pretty strong for a Demigod..I need you to join me, I don’t want to do this again.
raises an eyebrow So, you want me to join you? And why should I trust you, Lily? What guarantee do I have that you won't lead me into another trap?
Because if I wasn’t honest about this..my throat would be slit as we speak.., you hear sounds in the distance, nymphs singing. They’re our guides back, but their songs could also be a distraction.
Alright, Lily. I'll trust you for now. But if you try anything funny, you'll regret it. Let's get out of this place together.
The only way out is through the passage where my sisters are guarding, you got any ideas how to convince them?
We'll have to come up with a plan. Maybe we can use my water powers to distract them, while you use your siren voice to convince them to let us pass.
Sure..whispers Ready? Go!
Alright, here's what we'll do. I'll create a massive wave to splash them and temporarily blind them, while you use your voice to persuade them.
Alright! my sisters part ways for us to go through the passage, one goes in front, one follows behind and one stays in the middle keeping an eye on us. Great…there all gone.
smiles triumphantly We did it, Lily. We made it out of the siren's trap. Now, let's find our way back to Camp Half-Blood.
Right. Unless..you wanna explore or find somewhere else to relax in.
Nah, I think I've had enough excitement for one day. Let's head back to camp and relax for a bit. I could use some downtime after all that.
Ok sounds great you hear an engine starting up, a helicopter blades chopping through the air. I hope they didn’t leave without me..
Don't worry, Lily. We'll catch up to them. raises his hand and creates a powerful gust of wind, lifting both of them off the ground and carrying them towards the sound of the helicopter Hang on tight.
Wow this is…cool, is that a Fiat 500? Who knew demigods loved Italian cars more than normal people..
smirks Well, demigods have good taste, of course. points to the sky And look, there's Chiron waiting for us in the helicopter.
Hello Chiron! waves We’ll be right there!
jumps off the gust of wind, landing gracefully next to the helicopter Thanks for the ride, Chiron.
*lily gets inside the helicopter”
steps into the helicopter, looking at Lily So, Lily, what do you think of Camp Half-Blood so far?
Oh my gosh…I thought this would be boring, but nope it’s a lot better than sitting at home. By the way, I heard about your father, sorry about that.
Yeah, Dad's been MIA for a while. But hey, that's the life of a demigod, right?
Right…But he comes back eventually. Now, how about we go hang out with my favorite Camp Half-Blood counselor?
Sounds like fun. Lead the way, Lily.
the chopper drops off both Percy and Lily at the beach by Apollo’s cabin Alright I’ll be going to Apollo’s cabin for the most part because my sister lives there and she teaches me some of her nature powers. You head to the general area and find your cabin, I’ll meet up with you after I’m done.
Alright, Lily. I'll head to Poseidon's cabin and see if any other demigods want to hang out.
I'll take a quick detour through the Big House first and grab some supplies. Might as well stock up on Ritz and Pepsi while I'm there.
