I stood at the bottom of a colossal hill, taking in my surroundings. All I could see at this time of a night was a magnificent oak tree, which has a glittering golden cloth-looking object hanging limp in it's branches. Just below it, a huge purplish-steaming dragon was coiled around the base of the tree like a giant guard dog.
I could smell strawberries, fresh air (which I haven't smelt in a long time), freshly cut grass, and salt-water from the beautiful blue-green ocean. It all came together to create the smell that you can find in the countryside.
I picked up my suitcase and started to head up the hill when I heard "Wait! Wait for me, please!" A voice I'm all to familiar with said. I turned around to see a brunette girl wearing tiny black slip-on dress shoes and a dress that reached just past her knees.
"Well I wouldn't have to wait if you would wear better shoes." She looked at me criticly and said, "Oh I'm not wearing good shoes? Take a look at yours!"
I looked down at my knee-high red and black combat boots. "Exactly I'm wearing a sensible pair of shoes." I retorted.
She threw her hands up in an exasperated manner and started walking up the hill, causing me to follow. When we reached the top what I saw took my breath away.
The view was way better than any view in Tartarus. All I could see was white gleaming marble columns, and cabins painted all different colors.
I saw a blood red colored cabin which must have belonged to Ares. The silver cabin right next to a gold cabin which must have belonged to the twin gods/goddess Artemis and Apollo. But what I found weird was that there were many modern things too, like a volleyball pit and a two story cabin with a wrap around porch.
We started walking towards the house. As we approached the cabin I realized that it had three stories but the third floor was painted to blend into the sky.
Sabelle and I walked along the old porch, and when we got closer to the front I heard singing.
It sounded old maybe 70's or 80'sish. I rounded the corner and saw two men sitting down playing a card game. One man was in a wheelchair, he was an older gentleman. The other was a short pudgy man wearing a bright Hawaiian t-shirt, but looked bored of the game.
"Hi." I said, causing both men to look up. The man in the wheelchair was the first to speak.
"Hello there children, I'm Chiron, and who might you be?" Chiron said looking around, clearly looking for someone.
"Where is your satyr?" Sabelle and I looked at each other. "We didn't come here with a saytr, we followed the directions Mom gave us." I said, "I'm Ash and this is my half-sister."
"I'm Sabelle and I can awnser on my own, thank you very much." Sabelle answered.
Both men were obviously startled by this, the man in the Hawaiian shirt asked "And who exactly is your mom?"
I looked at him and said "I'm a child of Nyx." and Sabelle said, "I'm a child of Athena." The men looked bewildered.
"You're a child of Nyx?" "Yes I am, is that a problem?" I retorted.
"No, no, that's no problem. It's just that there has never before been a demigod child of Nyx." Chiron said
"Well there is now." I said.
