After a couple of more hours Zayn was in the okay to go back to his cabin. As long as he took it carefully and told them if it started to hurt in his chest when he breathed, what Zayn didn't tell them was it already did hurt but he wanted to get back to normality quickly and didn't want to spent any more minutes with everyone doting on him.

Zayn slowly made his way to his cabin, he wondered if Nico would be there then he remembered Tori had told him Nico was in the underwold doing some odd jobs for his father.

Zayn sighed, feeling a tad disapointed he couldn't see Nico, from what he remembered from their encounter, they'd got on well.

Zayn then smirked, thinking of Louis, wonder how Thalia will react when he comes back?

Zayn slowly stepped into his cabin, it felt so strange, so surreal to be back.

"And the Hero returns" A voice, smooth and female said proundly.

Zayns eyes widened and he gaped at who was sitting on his bed.

"Mona?" He gasped.

The Goddess of the Plain, winked at him as she said "Told you I'd see you again Hero"

Zayn flushed "I'm not a Hero"

Mona got of his bed and stood up in one graceful movement, she said lightly "I've heard differently"

"How are you, no, why are you here?" Zayn spluttered, backing up slightly, feeling exposed and extreamly hot.

"I'm not aloud to see my favourite Demigod? Huh, you and your sister are alike after all" Mona said teasingly.

Zayn started at her, then what she had said, rattled his brain, wait! Had she just said sister?

"Sister?" Zayn questioned with pure confusion.

"Oh, you don't know? Yeah she arrived about a month ago I heard? Yeah, I came here a couple of days ago, she wasn't two pleased with me but hey, I'm a goddess, she can't move me, quite rude to, if she wasn't your sister and I didn't want to upset Hades I probably would of killed her already" Mona said with an air of calmness that sent a shiver down Zayns spine.

Zayn couldn't help but notice at a random moment how pretty and graceful she was, much prettyier than any mortal he'd ever seen, she drew him in.

Zayn said awkwardly "Um, thank you for not killing my sister?"

Mona beamed at him "You're welcome"

"Mona! You better not be in my cabin again!" A sudden, defiant female but fiece voice roared near the entrance.

An older girl stormed in. She looked about sixteen? Older than Zayn. She had dark brown familer eyes and Zayn remembered in shock that it had been her looking at him a couple of hours ago. She had long brown wavy hair but in an interesting, unique hair style

Mona smirked at the older girl who was glaring at her.

Mona shrugged "Relax, I got what I came here for, see you very soon Zayn"

Mona gave him a flirtatious wink before vaniashing into thin air. The girl and Zayn looked away from her godly form, knowing they would have been killed if they had looked.

"S-see you" Zayn said almost breathlessly.

The older girl, turned on Zayn, glaring at him. Zayn backed up because well...she looked intimidating and despite everything Zayn had gone through and she was quite small for her age, it looked like she could of beaten him up easily.

"Who are..." She was about to demand, then she stopped and really looked at him, suddenly her gaze sofened as she said her voice less demading and frightening "Wait, you're Zayn, aren't you?"

"Yes..." Zayn said timidly.

"Oh, Sorry about that, I'm Emilia"

When no recognisation came from Zayn, Emilia sighed dramaticly and said patronisingly but her eyes and smile were amused so Zayn knew she was only teasing "I'm your new big sister Zayn"

Pure shock was all that was regestaired on Zayn, it felt like he stood there for days before he answered feebily with what sounded like a question than more than anything else "Okay?"

Meanwhile Louis had got to his cabin, to his relief Thalia wasn't there, he didn't think he had enouth energy to deal with her. No one else was there. He was all alone.

Louis slowly made his way to his bed in the cabin. It was right next to a large stature of Zeus holding his master bolt, looking quite theatoning, like hurt my kid and you're toast!
Louis snorted, his father wasn't much help in the quest then Louis's distasteful expression turned into dread. Had he helped bring another war with the gods? Had he helped wipe out his father? It was fortold the war was the one that the gods would lose after all...

Suprisingly this didn't make him feel sad, it didn't really make him feel anything at all. Just a strange numb feeling in his gut. Louis wasn't exactly sure what that emotion was. Louis sat on his bed, ignoring the stature that didn't really make him feel that homely.

He curled up on the bed, everything that had happened to him, coming back in flashes through his mind, his emotions where all over the place and after a moments silence, Louis did what he only could do, he didn't know if it was because of the pain, or the grief, or even relief.

Louis just let all his emotions, bottled up side him out and...He cried.

Notes

Also poor Louis. His welcome back home isn't exactly like Zayns is it? Sorry for all you people who like the happy, jokey Louis, he won't be appearing for some time. I'll take him a very long time to get over the Maze...
