Well, we did go on it, but we didn't finish it before I wound up here. We made our way to Rome to put a stop to a pair of giants who were working for Gaea. As part of that we rescued another demigod named Nico who was going to lead us to the doors of death so we can close them. That won't stop Gaea, but it will slow her down since the monsters she's using won't be able to come out of Tartarus so easily.

But we were just leaving Rome after two of my friends fell into a pit that leads right into Tartarus - there was no way to rescue them or we would have - and then I wound up here.

If I hadn't used the fortune cookie Nemesis gave me to rescue two of my friends, the other two wouldn't have fallen. Se said that using it would come with a steep price. But the two that fell wound up here, too.
