Once we got to the open part of the cave, Artimis said. "Ok. looks like we will have to take 2 trips. Lets take. Aries and Lucia Neve Neve's dad and gramps. They rode on the same Animals. Then he helped us off and went to get the others. OK now Quinn and Keyon on Hazel and Wren on Jay. Then they flew down and finally landed.
Artimis and his men helped the others down. "Thank you Aritimis." Said Dad. "Just promise me one thing. Don't ever do that thing you know ever again. Understood?!" Dad scolded. "Yes sir." said Artimis seriously. "OK" said Quinn. "Let's head out. It has already been 6 months since we have been on this journey. It will probably be a year by the time we get back."
"Has it really been 6 months?" Said Keyon. "Oh wait Quinn. I forgot. I have to go somewhere before we head back. Dad. Do you know where the castle is where Mistress Annabeth lives?" "Yes I do. Its actually a little further down behind the cave. How far exactly. About 10 miles." "Ok. I was told I need to go there once I got you safe. I'm glad I got your stepfather safe as well. Grandma will be so happy." "Haha. I'm sure she will." said the other man. "By the way Mr. What should I call you? Would you mind if I called you grandpa or should I call you by your name?" "Well whatever you want. My name is Dimitri." "Ok. I like grandpa better. Viola told me I could call her grandma too. Thank you grandpa." So we walked on.
"Hey Neve." Said Aries. "What forms should we take inside the castle?" "Oh yeah. You can stay in your human forms or whatever is comfortable. Ok. By the way dad. This is Aries. My boyfriend. He is a Raiju like aunt Frostine is." "Nice to meet you Aries. I am Lucia Neve's father." Then little Lucia spoke up. "Hey that my name? Yes little one. Your mommy named you after me." I explained that he is our father. "Oh. Hi daddy. I see pitchers of you." "Haha. Cutie isn't he?" "HeHe. Yeah." I agreed. We already walked 5 miles nonstop.
Then finally Quinn stopped and said, "Anyone tired yet?" The younger and older ones sat down. "Ha Ha. I guess so." Artimis and his men flew down and landed. "Our flying friends can go longer if anyone wants a ride."" Yes please." I said. Lucia and I sat on hazel as always, Dad and grandpa on Archer. Everyone else said they would turn into their forms and quicken their pace. "Ok everyone. Lets go!" said Quinn. We were off.
After awhile we had finally got to the village that I saw in my dream. "Ok everyone into your human forms." I said. We walked in the village and I was looking for Aiden. Then I finally spotted the little girl I saw in my dream. "Nice to see you Neve." Said Tania. "Your Tania right?" "So happy you remember. Yes I am. I will go get Aiden." Finally Aiden came out. "Hello Neve." Said Aiden. "Uncle Lucia? You are alive after all. This must be gramps." "Yes. Good to see you alive and well Aiden." "Is there really something wrong with your sister Tenasia?" I asked. "Yes. I will take you to her after you see the mistress. She is waiting for you and your father. You all may go in as well. Neve? Do you remember the way?" "Yes. Thank you Aiden. Should I meet you here after I see the mistress?" "Yeah. Good idea." So we walked on.
We finally got to the door, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them and pushed the door open. Everyone followed my lead. We stopped far enough and bowed. Mistress Annabeth said "Arise. Neve. It has been 6 months since you have been on this journey. I see you have successfully retrieved your father. I see you weren't expecting to save your grandfather as well."" Well Mistress. I only heard in my dream that I was to save someone I knew. I assume dreams change when you do something differently." "Yes that is correct. I am glad you got out safely." Lucia and Dimitiri bowed and said, "Thank you Mistress." "As for the others, thank you for keeping our little fox princess and prince alive." "Of course it wasn't without injury, but we'll be fine. We are all family after all. Blood or not." said Artimis. "I have prepared rooms for you all to stay 1 night. I assume you want to go home as soon as possible." "No offence but we do. Like you said, we have been on this journey for 6 months. It will most likely be a year when we get home." I said. "Don't worry Neve. I full well understand. I take no offence. I will have the butler show you to your rooms. Maxwell." "Yes Mistress. I will show them to their rooms." "Another thing before you all go. You may feel free to wander around the village if you like." said Mistress Annabeth. "Thank you mistress." I said. So we followed the butler to our rooms.
We finally got to our rooms. Lucia's room was the next room from mine. The other side was Keyon's. The other side of Lucia's was dad's. The others were scattered. Once we got settled in our rooms, we had a place to meet in the castle. "Aries and I are going to meet up with Aiden. Lucia? What do you want to do? Do you want to come with me or roam around with someone else?" I said. "I stay with daddy and big brother Quinn." said Lucia. "OK sounds good." I said. So we went to the village and scattered.
Aries and I met Aiden at the meeting place. The little girl named Tania saw me waiting there and went to get Aiden. Aiden came out and said, "OK so you want to meet my sister right?" "Yes. Oh Sorry. This is Aries. He's my boyfriend." "So this is Aries the Weirdo." "Hey." Said Aries. "Sorry. Its been awhile. When I lived in the village there was someone named Aries and they called him Aries the weirdo." "That's my brothers for you." "OK lets go see my sister." We walked into a house and some ladies that looked like servants and doctors helping her. "What exactly is wrong with her?" I asked. "Lets meet her and find out. You can both come in if you want." We both went into Tenasia's room. "Hey Ten Ten. You got visitors." "I do?" "Yeah you do." The girl that was in her mid 20's sat up. "Hello. My name is Tenasia. You can call me Ten Ten. You must be Neve. I have heard so much about you." "You as well." I said. "Oh I hope it is all good." "Yes it is. So. I said. "You look ok to me." "Well I may look ok on the outside. Its the inside that's a problem." Ten Ten explained that ever since they got here she hasn't been feeling normal. In fact since leaving the village she has been feeling strange. "I see. Could it be a sense or something?" "I really don't know."
"Ten Ten." Said Aries. "Oh hello." said Ten Ten. "Sorry I forgot to introduce you. This is Aries." "Yes I am Aries the weirdo. My brothers Leo and Hunter started it." "Hehe." She laughed. "Yeah. They would. I knew your brothers in the village." "I was going to ask you, would you like me to see if I can help you?" "Anything that can help would be great. You would just have to ask big brother Aiden first." Ok I will be right back." said Aries. "OK." said Ten Ten.
"Hey Aiden. May I try to help your sister? As you know I am a Raiju as well. The thing you don't know is my blood can heal. I just hope it can help your sister. It has helped Neve countless times. I know your sister has been like this for years now. So it might not work. If I may try. I would like to help. Don't worry. She won't be drinking the blood. I will be putting it on the part that's in pain or not working right. If my blood is working it will dissolve with a blue light. If it doesn't work it won't dissolve at all." "Yes. I will permit you to try to help. I will be there to watch as well. Thank you." said Aiden. Aries and Aiden walked to Ten Ten's room. "Excuse us girls. Were you having some girl talk?" said Aries. "Yes. We are done now." I said. "I'm going to try to help you Ten Ten. Your brother gave me permission." "Really brother you did?" "Yes I did. I will be watching to see what he does." "Yay. OK." "What exactly is wrong with you? "Said Aries. "Actually I think whatever is wrong is all inside my head and its affecting my body. Brother doesn't think so though." "Aiden? Mind if I start with her head? Sure. Go right ahead. Aries put his hand on Ten Tens forehead to sense what could be wrong. "Ok I know what is wrong. I may be able to help. I have never helped someone this bad before and for so long." Aries took out his knife and sliced his hand. He dropped a couple drops of blood on TenTen's head and rubbed it in. "It smells like Iron." said Ten Ten. "Yes that is what blood smells and tastes like." said Aries. Aries wrapped his hand, then we waited for awhile.
After about 10 min, Aries blood was slowly dissolving into Ten Ten's head. Aiden stood up in shock. Once it was fully dissolved, Aries said, "How are you feeling Ten Ten?" "I feel....strangely better. A lot better." "Good. Even though I healed you, you should get some rest for a few days. You might want to see a doctor to be sure it actually worked though." "Thank you Aries." Said Ten Ten." Your welcome. Aiden we will wait for you to get a doctor to check up on her then be on our way." "Ok Aries. Thanks." "Sure."
Aiden went to get a doctor to check on Ten Ten. "Hello there Ten Ten. Your brother wanted me to check you out." "Yes please." "OK. Open your mouth." she said "Ahh." "Ok looks good." He looked at her eyes checked her vitals and said, "Well looks like whatever he did helped this poor girl." "Really?" I said. "Yeah. She will need to stay in bed for at least 2 or 3 more days to be sure." "Thanks doc." "I'm glad I can help." said Aries. "Well let's be on our way then Aries." I said. "Wait a min Neve." Said Aiden. "Your birthday is tomorrow isn't it?" "Yes." "Well I told Ten Ten and she wants to give you something." We walked into her room and she had the gift ready. "Here you go." "Thank you cousin." "Can you open it now?" "Sure I will." I opened her gift and said, "It is very beautiful. Thankyou." "Your welcome. Happy early birthday." "Thanks." It was a hairclip she made me. I put it in my hair and Ten Ten said "Very pretty." "Thanks." "Thank you both." I said. "No thank you. said Aiden and Ten Ten. So we left.
