Lilliana smiled and tugged on Ben's hand, she started to run then stopped, "Wait how are we supposed to get there...?"

((I can play god's can't I? xD))

"I don't know... Airplane?" Ben asked knowing that thye didn't have any money though


Hermes materelized infront of both of them in his typical jogger suit and winged shoes. "I can!" He said joyfully.

(Yeah, we take turns, it's easier!)

Lilliana smiled, "That would be so nice Hermes! Could you?"

((Sowe've had help from, Ares, Hermes, and Hades (Granting them a somewhat safe passage through the Underworld)))

"Yeah, whatis your destination?" Hermesasked taking his favorite Lyre out of his pocket. It was golden with pictures of his little adventure in stealing Appollo's cattle.

"Venice, Italy" Ben said respectfully to his kin.

Hermes nodded and strung a beautiful note across his instrument.

Immeadiately the world spun around Ben and Lilly when it stopped hey were standing infront of one of the stacked buildings of Venice.

Lilliana clutched Ben's arm and squeled like a little girl, "I can't believe that I'm actually in Venice, Italy!"

"Neither can I, you don't know how much I've wanted to come here!" Ben gasped looking around himself.

Lilliana releashed Ben's arm and then replayed the instructions from Thornfeather in her head, "Mermaids!" She shouted randomly.

"Telekines..." Ben said looking at his reflection in the Canal.

"What?" Lilliana asked Ben, "I was talking about Thornfeather saying we had to find the dwellers in the water."

"I know... They are also sea creatures..." Ben explained.

"True... But I think we have to go get it directally from them or they might lie..." Lilliana said weighing the possibilities, "I'm tired anyway, can't we find somewhere to stay for the night?"

"Good point..." Ben said "We're on the main Canal right now so... There is a really nice hotel up from here and a nice diner for pizza..." Ben said his stoumach had seemed to empty when they had traveled.

Lilliana nodded and walked toward the hotel, "We don't have any money? Or do you still have some from your mom?" She tripped on a crack in the road and fell into the canal, "Ahh!" She screamed as she fell in...

Ben acted quickley and made the water spit her out. He snickered and said, "Yeah..."

Lilliana stood by the canal dripping wet and shivering. She glared at Ben and said, "Not funny." She shook involuntarily and contiued walking toward the hotel.

Ben stopped and followed her. He followed her into the hotel and were greeted by a man that was holding up one of those Plaque Mask's.

"Hey, a couple of customer's!" The deskman said putting the old mask down.

Lilliana shivered and said, "Can we have a room?"

"Yeah, for free..." The man said taking a key out from the desk and handed it to Ben. "Right there" He said pointing to a door that said 'Presidental Suite' on the plaque.

Ben walked over and opened the door. It was a white and creme based room with a flat screen T.V. mounted on the wall and two queen sized beds. Both had 2 chocolate's on the pillow's.

Lilliana stared at the room, "Wow... Why for free?"

The man at the desk said over to her. "We're shutting down in a week..." He stated.

Ben ran over to the bed closest to the window and jumped onto the big bed. Turned on the T.V. it asked whatcountry they were from he selected US from th list andimmeadiately the news for the U.S.A was blaring from the screen.

Lilliana shivered, "Did Hermes even think to send out bags with us?!"

Ben paused and gasped "No... Hmmm There is a clothing store down the street you could pick some stuff up there... "

"Fine, let's go," Lilliana said and moved towards the door, "I'm freezing!"

Ben walked over to the door not bothering to turn off the tv.

Lilliana shivered and waited for Ben to show her the clothing store.
