Chapter two – Not a lot of explaining

Author's Note- here's the next chapter! i really don't have anything else to say... oh thank you to the first person who Favorited this! it means alot ,bro! anyways go read!

I looked at him like someone was telling me that fairies accepted. He said that I was a demi-god.

"I think you have the wrong person here I can't be a demi-god … I'm barely respected by the kids in my school…. Gods are supposed to be respected"

"no you are a demi-god. I can sense your power and stench that will attract monsters… by the way when do you turn 13?"

"In two weeks. Why?" I asked wide eyed to his question.

"I'll explain everything when we get to camp." He said if a warm smile on his face.

And just on queue brain said "we're here!"

I looked out the window but I only saw strawberry fields. I wondered if they could see something I couldn't.

"I can see from the expression on your face is that you can't see anything. That's good. We put a new protective system on last year from letting demi-gods, monsters, and even gods to see beyond the field. And it even wrecks the sense of smell of monsters."

As we went into the parking space I saw teens fighting with swords and bows. I thought of the fact that I might be one of them. I can never be one of them I can barely left 2 pounds how am I supposed to leave a 10 pound sword. I thought in my mind about being a demi-god, and how it could bring more action in my life. While I was thinking the van stopped. Me not paying attention bumped my head on the front seat. I rubbed my head and looked out the window. You know what I said about the colors at sunrise, well I was wrong. The sight I saw was beautiful. Demi-gods fighting with their swords and bows. They were running around there were hundreds of them. I saw them running up lava rocks trying not to get hit by a fire ball.

There were dozens of cabins, each one had its own design there was a cabin that was blue, brown, and had shells and other sea creatures painted on it. The one next to it had wind designs on them and thunder bolts and gray clouds painted around them. The one next to it had fire designs on them, selections dancing around, and a dog with three heads painted in the front. Those were the biggest cabins there the rest were normal sized. My history teacher was calling my name to get out but I was dumbstruck by the sight that he picked me up and placed me on the ground. "It's beautiful isn't it?" He said with a small grin on his face.

"It's like nothing I've ever seen…" I said almost muttering out the words.

"Well come on we have to call your mom and tell her."

"Well I guess but I'd rather sit down and watch, but she'll be worried if I don't so let's go call my ma." We walked through a strawberry filed toward a house.

"You can call this the big house since we have our meetings here and our oracle here, but Rachel lives in the attic. We went inside and stopped at a fountain that was spraying water into a mist.

"By the way you can call me Chiron."

"Ok" we were standing I front of the fountain and Chiron threw a gold coin in the fountain.

"Rainbow goddess please contacts miss. Phoenix." Said Chiron. Suddenly there was I mirror and I saw my mom asleep in bed.

"You should wake her up."

"Umm ok…..MMMAAAAAA!" her eyes shot open and she jumped up almost falling off the bed.

"WHAT THE!"

"Ma clam down it's just me." She looked around the room and when she saw me through the mirror she frowned.

"Don't tell me."

"Yes, Miss. Phoenix it's time young Jake here learns how to defend himself."

"Did something happen in school for this to happen?" images of the monster flashed through my head it was gross.

" yes a Chimera tried to kill him in school today but luckily I was there to save him." my mom sighed

"ok what do you want to do , he be able to return by the beginning of summer, or you can let him stay for the summer and train more to be stronger." Chiron said being serious of the fact the I could die.

"Well let's ask Jake what to do" I felt like the spotlight on me. I decision that would mean life or death.

"Uummm….. I would like to stay the summer and see what it's like and be able to protect myself better …. ,but I still don't get why I'm here." I said with a questioning tone.

"Ok sweetie keep in touch*kiss* kiss* and Chiron protect him please"

"I will, bye Miss. Phoenix"

"bye mom."

"Bye Jake, Chiron" The call ended, and I mist went back to its regular form.

"Ok now it's time to explain many things to you about all this." Chiron said giving me a smile

"It's about time!" I said with exigent in my voice.

"Ok but you have to promise on the river Styx to not tell anyone about what I'm about to tell you ok?"

"Okay Chiron I promise on the river Styx."

"Ok you know all that I've been teaching you about in history class?" He asked.

"Yeah we were learning about Greek mythology… what about it?"

"Well all of that is true. There are gods, monsters, and demy-gods. That means that your dad is a god, and from now on you will learn how to protect yourself from monsters." I looked at him shocked. I never knew that my dad could be a god. I was the most normal kid in school. I would have never thought that this would happen to me not even in a million years.

"So what you're saying is that I could have died if you didn't find me and that my dad is a god?" I said in a now serious tone.

"well is that's what you think of it then yes, but your just turning 13 so your demi-god smell is getting stronger." I looked at him. Maybe I should take more showers.

"By the way I know what you're thinking….. Taking showers won't help. The smell comes from the god part of you so nothing but learning how to protect yourself will help." I looked down, all o my dreams of having a normal life are destroyed. Having a job is out of the question. So, I'm pretty much left with fighting monsters and doing quests is going to be my life.

"Hey don't be down a life of a demi-god can be rewarding. You can gain a lot of respect from just doing a great job on quests. One of my students was a hero. He prevented Olympus from being destroyed. You'll meet him in a few minutes, but for now just think positive and train hard or saving you would mean nothing." He said with a smirk. I smiled at him then a question popped in my head.

"Chiron when am I going to find out who my dad is?"

"well it could happen tonight or any night from now on. No worries it will happen before or when you turn 13"

I was thinking which god I would like my dad to be. I think I would like it if Zeus was my dad. Suddenly there was a crack of thunder. I jumped almost 2 feet.

"Someone was thinking about Zeus because he doesn't crack thunder when it's sunny even in here." I had a guilty look on my face, but he didn't notice.

"It's getting dark you should go clean-up for diner, which is over there by the way." He said pointing to an area where there was cement chairs and table, but each table had different color cloths over them.

"Ok …. But where?"

"Go look for a brown haired teenager with green-blue eyes and he'll let you wash up in his cabin." I wondered why I would go look for him this guy.

"Ok, see you later Chiron." I said running off to finding the one with blue-green eyes.
