A/N: Chapter dedicated to Revetaar because Ash helped me A LOT with this stuff. Ilysm!

Dorcas kept her cigarette between her lips and carefully stared at the screens. The blue, white, red and green lights illuminated her face, painting it with a strange mixture of those colors. Her hands moved freely and easily on the buttons, tapping and scrolling.

"Compass, check...wind speed, check...location map, check...cameras, check...safety alarm, check...sails, check..." Dorcas sighed and blew off a bit of smoke, pushing herself out of the control room and then out of the Sotíras.

The forest was eeriely quiet in the darkness. The winds were only slightly cold, and the sky extremely dark. Dorcas's eyes narrowed at it, and jusst for a moment, she thought that she heard a ripping sound, like a thunder, but sounding like a laugh.

Hiding behind his cabin, he watched Dorcas Meadowes walk inside the Hephaestus cabin. Smirking, he pulled out a walkie-talkie and held it to his mouth and whispered, "Sire, Meadowes has done the work of the Sotíras. They would be leaving tomorrow, perhaps. Over."

"Very good, Agent NS. Over," a voice said back, dripping with self-satisfaction.

He stuffed his walkie-talkie inside his pocket, and then ran away from the scene, into the forest and off towards the boundaries of the camp. The car waited in the same spot. He jumped inside, and then smirked at the driver, who grinned back, and the car ran towards Manhattan.

"Alice, think again."

"Frank, get inside."

Alice Prewett, daughter of Iris, pushed her boyfriend inside the Sotíras and rolled her eyes at him. "Sweetie, I know what I am doing. I am not leaving you alone, thank you very much. We fight together, we die together. Forever, remember?"

"Yeah," the son of Demeter sighed and stared at the campers and alumni campers gathered outside.

"Wonderful work!" Leo Valdez admired, ruffling Dorcas's hair. "Oh, oh, oh...Pipes, doesn't this remind you of Argo II?"

"Its better than the Argo II," Annabeth Chase said, eagerly examining the runes of the ship. She had spent the last hour with Remus and Lily, filling them with Athena-ish information.

"Er.." Jason Grace looking at his girlfriend, Piper McLean, then back to Leo and then at Annabeth. "I'm with Annabeth here, sorry Leo."

"Me too." Piper nodded.

It was a not-so-tearful good bye, as everyone was used to seeing heroes go on world-stomping quests. Percy Jackson even threatened James to save the world, or the son of Poseidon would personally make sure to throw him off the Empire State Building (it was his favourite threat, don't ask me why).

"Good bye people!" Dorcas saluted them dramatically. "To my Hephaestus peeps, keep designing and making! To the other campers (mostly my cousins), keep doing what your parents allow you to do! I'll be back soon! We'll kick Mr. Blue-Black's blue-black arse!"

Gasps, mixed with sniggers, came from the crowd as they watched the Sotíras sail away from them. It slowly took off in the air, and the doors closed automatically. They rised higher and higher, until the Camp was tiny and almost invisible.

"Do you have to control it all day long?" Lily asked the daughter of Hephaestus, some hours after them taking off.

"Nope," Dorcas quipped. "I am just getting us on the border of New York. From there on, we'll be flying above Canada, which is the Land of Lakes. My plan is to land at Toronto, which is nearest to us right now. We'll later discuss who this "king of the winds" is."

"I talked to Remus last night." Lily fiddled with ber braid, sighing. "He told me that this king can be Aeolus. Piper, Leo and Jason met him in Chicago, but the Olympians later sent him to another location which hasn't been revealed."

"He's in Canada!" Dorcas exclaimed. "The prophecy said so!"

"Really? Wonderful. That narrows it down to..two hundred and eight nine cities, we'll easily find the dude!" Sirius Black had appeared in the control room.

"I think he's in Winnipeg," Lily said suddenly.

"Why, Red?" Sirius asked, frowning.

"It said "land of lakes" which means only Canada. And one of the lakes which is completely in there is Lake Winnipeg!" Lily explained.

"That actually makes sense!" Dorcas left the wheel and dragged both of her friends inside the "living area" where she had put up a coffee table, carpet and sofas.

"What makes sense?" James asked though a mouthful of chocolate, looking as though he were going on a cruise rather than on a world-saving quest.

"Okay, I'll explain," Lily said firmly. She pulled out a rolled map from her pocket and kept it on the coffee table. Everyone shuffled forward for a view. "The king of the winds is obviously Aeolus. The Olympians moved him to some other location, as Remus told me. The prophecy says "land of lakes" which means only Canada. And one of the lakes which is only in Canada is Lake Winnipeg, so I think that we've to be in Winnipeg!"

Marlene jumped up, clapping her hands together in delight. "And Winnipeg's a small city! According to what Piper told me, the guy has a floating castle! James can easily fly about the city and see the location!"

"I agree," Emmeline said, punching James's arm and looking at Lily with admiration.

"Heroes," a monotonous female voice boomed through the ship. "We are currently flying over Toronto. It is currently 13:54. Temperature is 23°C. Kindly enjoy your ride, cheers!"

"What the fuck?" Alice laughed, grabbing a cookie from Frank's hand, he pouted but did not object.

"Just turn this off when we're sleeping," grumbled Sirius.

"Obviously, duh." Dorcas flicked a cupcake towards him.

"Anyway." James snapped his fingers to get everyone's attention and pointed at the map. "As far as I think, we're gonna land at Winnipeg, which is like two-three days from Toronto. Until then, guys, we should discuss over the prophecy."

"I have no idea about my fears!" Emmeline threw her hands dramatically.

"And I seriously don't want to prove my worth!" added Frank.

"And my past.." Marlene bit her lip.

"James calming the storm!" Sirius guffawed. "He's the one who brings storms, not calms them!"

"Coiling of snakes, lightening strikes." Alice tilted her head.

"Alright!" James shouted suddenly, walking towards his cabin. "I changed my mind! Let's not do that!"

Everyone laughed as he went off in his room, grumbling about greek-smoke-throwing mummies and weird prophecies.

Honestly, I changed Aeolus's location BECAUSE FROM CANADA, ITS EASY TO GO WHERE THE NEXT LOCATION IS. I hope you guys are fine and doing wonderfully. Take care and stay safe.
