Artemis made them the caretakers of the Waystation, which is a magical haven for demigods and other magical creatures that need protection and a home. When Jo and Emmie fell in love, they decided to leave the Hunters to build a life together.
The woman introduces herself as Emmie, and once everyone is safely inside the Waystation, she explains that she and her partner, Josephine, were former Hunters of Artemis - a group of maiden warriors serving Apollo’s sister, the goddess of hunting and the moon. She instructs Leo, Calypso and Apollo to follow close behind her, saying that she will take them to a secret fortress called the Waystation. They are beginning to lose hope when an older gray-haired woman with a crossbow begins fighting off the blemmyae. They don’t make it very far, however, before they are cornered in a plaza by the blemmyae. An army of blemmyae begins approaching Leo, Calypso and Apollo, but the three friends are able to outsmart the creatures and escape on a nearby bulldozer. Nanette states that she is arresting the three friends in the name of the Triumvirate - a group of three immortal evil Roman emperors that are planning to overthrow the gods by cutting them off from all their sources of prophecy. Blemmyae are headless human-like monsters, whose faces stretch across their chests and abdomens. Apollo then realizes that the woman is actually a creature called a blemmyae disguising herself as a human. Calypso attempts to punch the woman, but breaks her hand on Nanette’s metal face. She states that they can’t go until they have been welcomed properly and makes a phone call, stating that Apollo has arrived and that she needs back up. The friends are wary and attempt to leave. When the three friends land in Indianapolis, a woman named Nanette greets them. When Apollo fills Leo and Calypso in on what has happened at the camp over the past few months, they volunteer to fly to Indiana with him and help complete the quest. Leo had been missing for months after flying his bronze mechanical dragon to rescue his girlfriend, Calypso, from Ogygia - the enchanted island where she had been imprisoned for thousands of years. Before he departs, an acquaintance of Apollo’s, Leo Valdez, returns to Camp Halfblood.
After discovering the Grove of Dodona - a grove of ancient prophetic trees - in the woods at Camp Halfblood, former Greek god Apollo receives a prophecy instructing him to go to Indiana in search of another oracle.
