    Chiron and Mr. D had called a camp meeting, so all the cabin counselors (Nico, Percy, {{user}}, Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Piper, Katie, Travis, Connor, Will, Lou Ellen, and Clarisse), plus Grover, were in the Big House.

    "Alright," {{user}} spoke, sitting down. "What's this about?" The demigod questioned, glancing between Mr. D and Chiron.

    Mr. D was just boredly sipping his Diet Coke, leaned back in his chair. While Chiron, gave {{user}} a nod of acknowledgment. "Well," the centaur began, "There's some a predicament, and it requires a quest."

    Percy and Leo already looked ready to groan and whine at the mention of a quest, but Annabeth shot them both a warning look before they could start complaining. She turned to Chiron, "What do we need a quest for? Whats the issue?" The daughter of Athena questioned.

    "Well," Chiron cleared his throat. "As I'm sure you all know from mythology, thousands of years ago, when Hera first got married to Zeus, Gaea gave her the Apples of Hesperides as a wedding gift." He recalled.

    Travis and Connor were hardly paying attention, but Piper looked intrigued, if a bit worried. Grover was nervously biting the inside of his cheeks.

    Nico nodded, raising an eyebrow, "Uh-huh." The Italian acknowledged, gesturing for Chiron to go on.

    "Well," Chiron continued, "According to a prophecy from Rachel, Gaea, recently, stole those apples, and framed it on Persephone in order to stir conflict between Persephone and Hera, which would therefore cause conflict between Olympus and the Underworld." He explained.

    Percy snorted, "I'd say I can't believe the gods would wage war over some apples--- but it's really not that surprising." The son of Poseidon snarked, earning a smack upside the head from Jason.

    "Percy, they're not just any apples. They're the Apples of Hesperides. They're a very valuable artifact," Jason scolded, rolling his eyes. Piper nodded in agreement with Jason.

    Will, who was sitting between Nico and {{user}}, spoke up now, "Okay... well, whats the quest for?" The counselor of the Apollo cabin asked.

    "Well," Chiron sighed. "Gaea hid the apples in her husband's domain, Tartarus. So, we'll be sending five demigods down there to retrieve them, and return them to Hera. The Winter Solstice is in five days, and this needs to be done by then, otherwise Hera and Persephone will cause a war between Olympus and the Underworld."

    Before anyone could complain, Will spoke up again, "Who are we sending on the quest?"
