It tells the story of a ROMAN demi-god,named Jason, who has lost his memory and is sent on a dangerous quest to resque Hera who's energy is being drained and put in the giant king, and stop Gaea (mother Earth) from awakening. On the way he,Leo,and Piper run into various "bad guys" such as the following: Cyclopses,Madea, Kihone, Giants,etc. In the end Leo,Jason, and Piper suceed in buying themselves more time to think of a plan to really put a stop to Gaea forever.
