The Time Lost

== The Time Lost ==
In late August 2022 Pinea (a pine hamadryad), Caelan (daughter of Heracles), and Prim (daughter of Eris) were called to the oracle’s attic and received the Prophecy of the Time Lost. They traveled to Shenandoah national park and met Janus and a rave of nymphs, saved a naiad from a magical knife plunged deep in her waters, and made their way to Las Vegas, Nevada. They went missing for several months, trapped inside the Lotus Hotel for what to them felt like a few days but was in reality several months. Upon its completion the Lotus Hotel was officially opened with Notus, Chronos, and Janus working together to manage the property to make sure that anyone who needs to leave can. The group also rescued Boyd (son of Hephaestus), who had been trapped since the early 20th century. Notus had shut the doors to the Lotus Hotel during the dust bowl, his daughter, Maxine, had stolen an hourglass from Chronos in order to save her mother from the devastation her father was causing but ended up dying in the hotel. 
This prophecy kicked off the Battle of the Barrier, as Notus sent monsters to the camp to prevent them from sending help to the questers and to prevent any more demigods from helping Chronos take over the hotel. 
Prophecy of the Time Lost
Desert sands fill a glass, dropped one grain at a time.
City of neon, oasis of sin, monsters do line;
The only key dangling from the blue mountain’s door.
Children of lion skin, apple, and earth, called to stop war.
The south wind pounds at the entrance to home,
An army buffeting windows and walls made of stone.
Follow the path laid by words of a ghost,
Save those lost, their years stolen by flowery hosts.
Rescue the hours, carry forge fire in hand,
And show a father what he could not understand.
