"Orcus….Orcus….I know you're not really asleep so get up", Aleron said
"Jerk…you couldn't let me sleep for another hour?" said Orcus
"It's already one in the afternoon and Mr. D is giving an announcement in a half hour" Deo said
"Alright I'll get up just give me a minute"
"So Deo, what's this announcement about?"
"Dunno, can't have anything to do with that giant hole in the arena or the skeleton warriors that climbed out"
"Orcus, Deo is right, you have got to be more subtle, I mean it's not like skeletal warriors screams a son of Hades was here or anything like that"
"Look Aleron I'm sorry, but Danae beat me in a sword fight and I had to have the last word"
"Look man I totally understand, when you get mad at somebody just summon up some skeletal warriors and attack them"
"Yeah right Deo like you've never thought about it, oh wait I forgot, the most you can do is make horses and splash me"
"Hey Orcus, lay off Deo, we all know you like Danae so there is no reason to get up in arms whenever she is mentioned"
"Who said anything about me liking Danae? I'm just pissed because-"
"That's quite enough", Roared Mr. D, "The entire assembly does not need to know about Orcus` love life… or lack thereof. We are here to discuss the serious matter of a giant hole in the middle of camp. Although we know who the culprit is Chiron insists that we give him a chance to defend himself in front of the assembly. So without further ado, Mr. Orcus plead your case."
"Well there is not much to say, we all know that I'm a son of Hades and that when Hades gets mad there is nothing you can do to stop him, so the most I can say is don't make me mad…"
"Well after that articulate argument I think my only option is to remove Mr. Orcus from camp so that the next time he gets mad he doesn't send us all to Tartarus-" Mr. D stated
"Wait, don't kick him out he didn't mean to do anything bad and he wouldn't have let those skeletons actually hurt me", Danae interjected
"I was going to say, before Ms. Danae kindly cut me off, that the only other option was for him to go on a solo quest; but since Danae has taken such an interest in him I think she should go too. Now, both of you go to the Oracle immediately."
"Well this is just great", muttered Danae, "You try to help somebody and you end up walking into a spooky attic trying to find some mummy and you r only friend is death, who indecently has a crush on you, and instead of asking you out like any normal person, he shows his feelings by attacking you with his undead army."
"You know I can hear you right?" said Orcus, "And while we are discussing me, how did you know my name meant death, I never told anybody?"
"Jee I don't know, let's think. 1 you're a son of Hades, 2 I am a daughter of Athena and generally good at figuring things out, and 3 I actually do my Latin homework."
"Look I am sorry I attacked you, I was wrong, but can we please try to get along, I mean we are going on a quest and I think it would be easier if we weren't fighting the whole time"
"You can just shut up because its your fault we are even here right now-"
You will head to the east
And find the dead to be raised
You will face great peril
And a Foe who may astound you
You will succeed in all but one endeavor
You shall surely fail in the most important one however
