2nd chapter! Ha ha sorry if ya'll don't like it but tough luck. If you do then thank you for reading and I hope I don't mess up. If you don't know the origins of the Alala names they're from the greek alphabet.
The song is from the movie Princess Mononoke
Underlined words are Zeto and Omega's private conversations.
*Zeto's POV*
"In the moonlight I felt your heart.
Quiver like a bow string's pulse.
In the moons pale light you looked at me
Nobody knows your heart"
We've been watching Camp Half-Blood for a few days now. Neither of us really want to go back, but we have no where else to go. Plus we miss some of the people in Hermes' cabin. Omega is singing in the branch above me, she's almost as good as some of the people in Apollo's cabin.
When the sun has gone I see you.
Beautiful and haunting, but cold.
Like a blade of a knife so sharp, so sweet
Nobody knows your heart
It's been a rough couple of years. We had found our mom, but it wasn't in the best way. i would have felt better if she died. We had to come back because a Hellhound had attacked us.
All of your sorrow grief and pain
Locked away in the forest of the night.
Your secret heart belongs to the world,
Of the things that sigh in the dark
Of the things that cry in the dark
After that attack Father came and told us to go back to camp and keep an eye on things there. If things got too hairy here we were to go back to our safe house where it would be, well, safer.
"Zeto."
"Hmm? Yes Omega?"
"There is a child of Ares watching us."
"We should be heading to the dinning area anyways."
"Fine."
It's time to see some old friends.
*Omega's POV*
Swift traveling has gotten a lot easier over the years, so when me and Zeto slowed in the bushes just a few hundred feet from the dinning pavilion it didn't even phase us like it used too. I walked over too Anubis and rubbed his heads. Anubis looks like a smaller wolf version of Cerberus. I hopped onto his back and watched my brother defend himself from his griffins licks.
"I love how it's the same thing every time we leave even for a few minutes." I chuckled.
"You're just jealous because Anubis doesn't love you as much as Horus loves me" Zeto said while rolling his eyes. Eventually the griffin got off him long enough for him to get on top.
"So how do we go about this? Just walk in or make a grand entrance?" asked my brother as he adjusted his fingerless gloves nervously. A gift from Father they were black with a green flame design that started at where the finger part should have been. I have a pair too but mine instead of the pattern have a red spade on the back of my hands with darker red swirly things going out from behind it.
"Just walk in it'd be funny to see their reaction." I said as I slung my bow onto my back. I love my bow it's black and the grip is red, but it's not my favorite.
"True." My brother said no longer in the twin-telepathy link we have.
Urging our pets forward we headed for the pavilion.
The faces were funny, since the war the gods have claimed all their children and added more cabins for 'minor' gods, so we got a few more good chuckles than expected. Without skipping a beat we went straight to the ever crowded Hermes table.
We knew a bunch of these faces seeing as during our travels we saved them and pointed them in the right direction of camp. Some we even escorted ourselves like the Stoll brothers. We saved them from a Hellhound right after their mother told them about being a demigod. Since they were clueless of anything Greek we took them to camp ourselves. Since then they've been so clingy, whenever we're near camp they find out somehow and beg us to stay a while.
Anyways I squeezed in onto one side of Travis and Zeto on the other side of Connor the Naiads brought us food like nothing happened I put the best piece of meat aside and dug in. My brother following suit. 3.5 seconds later the girlish squeals started.
"Oh My Gods!"
"OZ! What are you guys doing here?"
"We've missed you sooo much!"
Needless to say the whole Hermes cabin just about exploded from happiness. The Stoll twins were giving us the most bone crushing hugs ever.
"Ow..."
"Ok get it. Missed you too. Let go now." I wheezed out as both Connor and Travis attacked me with hugs.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Connor.
"I thought you guys weren't coming by anymore." Said Travis, yeah we can tell them apart.
"So what are you doing here?" they asked at the same time.
"Oi can't a couple of demigods just come to the only safe place they know of for a break from monster fighting and demigod directing. I think we've found more godlings then the satyrs." Zeto joked.
"Actually I'd like to speak to you two in private to speak about your departure." came the voice of Chiron from behind us.
Getting up swiftly Zeto agreed with fake urgency, he has hated Chiron since an accident a few years back. I got up slowly messed up the twins hair and followed Zeto calling Horus and Anubis to follow.
The walk to the big house was quiet. Once we got inside one of the rooms in the big house the interrogation started with all the Cabin leaders and Mr. D. How very private.
Chiron started the questions first, "Why did you really come back?"
"Well you see Da-" Zeto started but I took over.
"Monsters are getting stronger and looking harder for demigods of all the gods." I added the emphasis on all because as we all know, Camp half blood used to only houses the top 12. Searches for minor demigods is still not a high priority.
This caused some murmuring.
"So you came to warn us?" a stranger from Hephaestus asked. What happened to Beckendorf?
"We came to help. There is only so much the mist can cover before it dissipates entirely." Zeto replied.
"How do you know that?" another one of the Half-bloods we came across before a daughter of Ares, asked.
"Some tests," Was our simple reply.
"So what do you think we should do?" asked an Aphrodite girl I didn't know.
"Take out as many as possible ASAP. They're growing stronger and- anyway I hope ya'll have some sort of plan already." Zeto coughed. This guy couldn't keep a secret if his life depended on it, and it kind of did.
"We don't we didn't even know of this." Said Chiron gravely.
"What are we to do then, Chiron? Just sit and wait? " a blonde, oh hey Annabeth, from Athena argued.
"No choice." Back to my short answers.
She looked ready to argue but Chiron gave her a look and she stayed quiet. Chiron let the other campers go, but held us back.
"Have you two found out anything about you're Godly parent?" Chiron asked suspiciously
"No." simple answers again.
