"So... Your heading into Tartarus?" I questioned, tilting my head.

"Yeah..." Jay looked at us and Lily gulped.

"Bring back Percy... Please..." she whispered. Her voice was watery and she was trembling. I hugged my friend and looked up at Jay.

"We will try our best." he promised.

"W-w-whats today?" stammered Lily.

"Um... September 28th." I replied. WOW. HOW DID THAT GO BY SO FAST?

"Silver!" squeaked Lily and I raised an eyebrow. "Do you not remember?"

"Remember...?" I racked my brain for events today. We haven't planned any raids, exiles, or rescues for today, have we? Honestly I was confused.

Lily rolled her eyes and looked at me, "ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY!"

"Oh yeah."

She blinked, "Have you stopped celebrating it?"

"Yes."

"Well we HAVE to celebrate this one."

"Why."

"YOUR TURNING 18!"

"Right."

"I will slap you. Come on."

I grabbed Jay's wrist just as Lily was pulling me out the door. It was just a birthday. I'd have a bunch more. A lot. Lot more.

She shoved me into a room and I burst out laughing. They had made a cake, the size of a hell hound. It even looked like one.

Thats all we've been doing, celebrating and celebrating. Mostly. Oh well. Couldn't hurt to celebrate more.

There was this gigantic banner saying 'WELCOME TO ADULTHOOD! YOU'VE SURVIVED!" I didn't wanna be an adult though! I WANTED TO STAY A TEEN. Whatever.

I got tons and tons of presents, most of which were weapons, which was fine by me. I spent about half an our chasing after Leo with an ax in my hands. It was fun...

After about a whole night of partying and drinking I got the best surprise yet. Or was it the worst?

Gods of Olympus I still don't know what it was about.

Oh! And to all those who were worried about us drinking?

SHUT UP! We're half bloods, normal laws go out the window, into the street, and get crushed in our world. Just like monsters. AHAHAHAHAHA.

I had just finished dancing with a satyr, or was it... A normal goat... I don't know. I don't remember. Don't care.

I took a sip of wine (Don't complain I'm 18 that would make it like, legal in Germany or something.)

"Hey Silver? Can I ask you something?" questioned Jay, dragging me away from the goat or satyr. (Does it really matter? They both got part goat in them. I'm just gonna say goat from now on.)

"Sure!" I squeaked, taking another sip of my drink.

Slowly he got to his knees, and, even though I was all giddy I calmed down. I understood what was going to happen next, and I still remember it.

"We may be in the middle of a war, but I still want to be with you. Even if we die in the end, we'll be together in Elysium. I know it." 

He took a small black velvet box out of his pocket and opened it to reveal a 5 carat diamond ring. Even though we were half bloods and normal rules are usually thrown ut the window, well, Jay kept to the marriage rule. We're both 18 now.

I stared at the ring, the diamond part was silver and blue, like sea foam gathering up in the ocean. The actual ring part was baby blue. I looked at Jay, then at the ring.

"Silver NightHound, will you marry me?"
