“You made it home in one piece!
You know, Nero seems to think you're alone. That's what he's hoping you think too. Don't believe it. You've got all of Camp Half-Blood Austin helping you in the background.”
At first, all you can hear are Nero's words ringing in your ears, but then what Grey says starts to sink in. All of Camp Half-Blood Austin.

How do you explain something like that?
“Really? Where is everyone?” you ask, followed by the thought. I'm not sharing my Hot Pockets.
“I was just waiting for you to ask! Hold on while I initiate the mother of all BELCHES. I'm sending you to the secret CHBA Library. You'll be able to review the CHBA quests of other demigods and start your advanced training...”
"Initiating BELCH! Keep an ear sharp for the next BELCH coming soon!"
