“ What ?” Piper choked . “ Impossible ,” Leo blinked . “ Who could the thief be ?” Jason blurted . “ Oh no , things always goes berserk .” Percy frowned . “ Could it be …” Annabeth began , her mouth dangling open . “ No , it couldn ’ t be a Greek God and all the other baddies are stuck in Tartarus .” “ Magnus , ” Annabeth ’ s stormy grey eyes focused . “ Pardon ?” I bit my lips . “ The Norse gods , I can feel their magic .” She began to scan the room .
“ This isn ’ t possible Annabeth , how can two different religion of gods rule the same thing at the same time when either side doesn ’ t even notice each other ?” Piper rolled her eye .
“ Everything is possible , its crazy enough that we have powers that only exist in movies .” Jason rested his arm on her round shoulders .
“ I agree , everything is possible .” I nodded towards Annabeth .
“ Calypso , I know that it is possible that a Norse God can be the thief but we don ’ t know anything about Norse ! ” Jason panicked .
“ You ’ re such a little baby , we ’ ve been on a few quest and everything turns out fine . But who can we ask about Norse history and what not ?” She poked Jason ’ s arm and rolled her eyes .

They say he fell for a girl with wild red hair and they had a child together . Ever since , every generation or two , someone is born with tattoos like these , they show you whatever you need to find .”
“ Your tattoo is showing the Norse God , Loki and he is heading towards our cupboard ! Hide ! ” Annabeth gasped so loudly that I bet someone outside could hear it .
“ Guys in here !” I pushed the secret passage door open with all my might . “ You ’ re a lifesaver . ” Percy breathed . “ Shush , don ’ t make a sound .” Leo hissed .
The passage stank of rot and dust , the end of the passage gave off a light green glow . “ There ’ s the end of the tunnel , we can escape !”
“ Stop right there , walnuts , don ’ t you dare move a muscle . ” Loki cackled evilly . His pixie feature shone like the sun .
