CHIRON
Swords clanking, arrows flying haywire, brutal fights and sabotaging going on. It was a normal day at camp but Chiron was agitated since morning. He was expecting something to happen, something bad.
Death shall mark the beginning
Destruction caused by the fathers awakening
With him is the fire breather
And the labyrinth guarded half animal creature
These were the lines spewed by the Oracle this morning. To make matters worse only he had heard the words. His eyes caught a movement outside the camp borders and he galloped outside the safe quarters. A muscular teen was running towards him with a half dead satyr in his arms. Chiron knew the satyr well enough.
'Grover! What happened to him kid?' he asked the kid who looked about 19 years old
Grover replied in the kid's place with a raspy breath 'He is a strong demigod. Help him. Mon…' he pointed weakly at the direction they had come from. Chiron had seen many monsters but the sight made his blood run cold. An army of full grown Cyclops more than forty easy, were standing at some distance as if waiting for an order. Behind them stood their commander, Echidna. Chiron had once fallen in love with her (a fact he wisely kept hidden) but that was before he saw her lower body. Her face was beautiful full of cheerfulness, young age, and enthusiasm. Her lower half made up for her beauty. It was a huge, hideous, speckled snake. To make matters worse next to her stood her son, Chimera, the giant Chihuahua. Chiron knew that an unarmed centaur, an untrained kid, and a half-dead satyr stood no chance against an army of darkness. Reluctantly he sprinted back to camp carrying the demigod and Grover back to camp with him.
'Chiron' Grover said with a cracked voice 'Percy is dead'
Chiron looked at him bewildered as the once mighty satyr shrank into a small cluster of dandelions.
