Piper was still thinking about Eric's story and what Alyssa said.

She knew that there was more to the story, she didn't know what.

It's been two days since Perseus was last seen or heard from. He's final words were the ones he spoke when Clarisse asked what happened to Jordan.

Piper was slightly worried when his voice trembled, she never heard him like that.

Piper was eating breakfast when she heard distant roars.

Looking around she noticed the Guardians started to stand up.

Piper stood up and started walking to the sounds of distant roars.

When they grew more louder, she started sprinting with hearing others behind her.

The roar came to a stop, Piper, standing on Half-Blood Hill, saw a...

Another army of monsters.

Like the first time, the Guardians rushed out and started the fight.

As Piper joined the battle, she thought of how it would of be nice to have the Guardians during the war with Gaea.

"Duck." Piper did. As she came back up she saw Perseus fighting some monsters next to her.

"Thanks." She said, relieved someone had her back, as her boyfriend was flying around and seemed to be helping Leo.

"No problem." He answered back.

Piper hesitated. "Can I ask you something?"

"You just did... Step back." She did. A knife shot past and hit a hellhound.

Piper frowned, before fighting again. "That's not what I meant. I mean..."

"Piper." Perseus stood still. "Just ask." Then, resumed his fighting.

She still hesitated. "Why do the others not like you?"

Perseus didn't answer. The duo were fighting left and right, it reminded Piper of something, but she didn't know what...

"I'm sorry about my question, I shouldn't have asked." She apologized, as she killed yet another monster.

Perseus stopped and turned to her. "It's okay. I'm sorry for overreacting." Piper could have thought he was talking about something else too. She wasn't sure.

She was going to reply when a Drakon's roar was heard.

"Only a child of Ares can kill it!" She heard Annabeth call out.

Piper looked around and noticed all the children of Ares were either unconscious, or trapped in a fight.

She looked to where she heard the roar and saw someone approach the Drakon.

"What are you doing, Punk? Only a child of Ares can kill it." Piper heard Clarisse said to the figure.

Then, Piper noticed who it was.

Ben, the Guardian of Athena, flipped his hood back, revealing brown/red hair and brown eyes.

"I am a Son of Ares. So, I can kill it." He announced.

And, the Guardian of Athena stabbed the Drakon, the last monster, with his spear.
