CHAPTER TWO: I AM CLAIMED BY EVERYONE AND MY NAME
I groaned. "No one knows who my parent is yet?"
"No, we haven't found that out yet, considering we found you only six hours ago." Brunner replied. "And don't call me Brunner anymore- I'm Chiron here, and Brunner out of camp."
Ookkaayy. Didn't he tell me he couldn't mind read, cause, he knew I was referring him as Brunner mentally.
"Hermes cabin?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
But instead of answering me, he yelled outside of the nurse's office, "Percy, come here quick! Yes, you too Grover, Annabeth!"
Percy, Grover, and Annabeth were inside quicker than I expected. Chiron pointed at my forehead and they stared at it.
"What-" I began. I stared at the mirror Annabeth placed in front of me.
On my forehead, was a mark in Greek: το όλο.
What that meant: all.
Crap.
LATER...
I must have been out for a while cause when I walked out of the office, there was a new cabin with the others. It was sorta a mix of the other twelve- peacocks, lightning bolts, sea shells, caduceus, dead wild boars, torches, owls, lyres, moon, ax, myrtle, grapes, and even carvings of dead souls. At the mess hall, there was also another table. Let me guess who those were for...
...Me.
I sighed. I couldn't believe it.
All the important gods/goddesses claimed me by placing the word το όλο on my forehead- even the goddesses that swore to be a virgin forever.
And you know what that means...
...I had part control of everything and everyone would be afraid of me for a while- who would have thought that all these people would be afraid of a twelve year old new girl?
I saw a man that I haven't met yet but knew right away was Dionysus/ Mr. D with Chiron.
I walked up to them. "Uh, hi..."
"Huh? Who?" Mr. D wondered before actually turning towards me.
"Mr. D, this is her." Chiron introduced as he leaned back in his wheel chair.
"Ah. The child that everyone claimed." Mr. D recalled in a monotone voice.
"Yes," Chiron faced me. "What is your name?"
"Uh..." I didn't want to say my name. I knew if I did, Dionysus would start screaming at me. "Athena Artemis Dionysus Chiron."
"WHAT?!" Dionysus yelled.
Told ya he would.
"Mr. D," Chiron said calmly. He stared at me again. "Are you sure that is your name? Are you sure that fall in the lake didn't affect your memory?"
I nodded. "That is my name. The foster care just named me that since I liked to read about the Greek gods and goddesses- I don't know why they placed my last name as Chiron, nor why they chose those names to make up mine."
"I see," Chiron closed his eyes while Mr. D started to mutter out curses. "Very well. Marilyn will show you around the camp,"
A smiling satyr came towards us wearing a bright orange Camp Half-Blood shirt when Chiron finished saying his sentence.
"Hey, I'm Marilyn." She held out her hand.
Her voice sounded like one I heard before...
"You're the one who was with me when I saw Argus," I stated as I took her hand.
"Yeah, that was me. Sorry if the reed pipes annoyed you," She said. "Come on,"
Marilyn led me away from Mr. D who was trying to be calmed down by Chiron. When they couldn't hear us, she asked, "Were you really claimed by all of them?"
"Huh? Oh that... Yeah, I was." I blushed, remembering that. "So... What will happen to me then?"
"We just have to find out, don't we?" Was her reply. We stopped in front of the new cabin. Marilyn frowned.
"What's wrong?" I asked, wondering what could be wrong with it.
"Nothing..." She answered after a few minutes.
"Marilyn." I demanded.
"Fine." She sighed. "When I was young, Chiron told me to go to the Oracle and ask what was to happen to the one I would watch at a certain age. The Oracle said:
The one
who is to watch,
Will face a child claimed by all.
They will go
on a quest to the Underworld,
To help Hades but one shall die.
A
group of four will try to save them,
But all will fail,
When
three form death,
And the others become life.
All will return
back,
When the traitor betrays the traitors."
"Talk about confusing," I muttered, not really getting it.
Marilyn glared at me. "Don't you get it? You're the one that is claimed by all! We'll have to go to the Underworld to help Hades for some reason, but one of us has to die! Four more- probably Percy, Grover, Annabeth, and Thalia- will try to help us, but they fail when three of us form death and the other three life! The only way all of us can come back is when a traitor betrays the traitors!"
"Uh... I got it up to when you said 'help Hades' then I lost you." I replied.
She held up her hands. "You're impossible!"
"Thanks you."
"Ugh!"
I couldn't help to laugh...
That is, until I was told to go to the Oracle by Chiron.
