Hey guys! I lied, I'll write the second chapter
Chiron explained the story behind the goddess of love's anger, much to the boredom of Dan.
'Apparently, Aphrodite was given a gift from Ares - this special dove. She kept it in her temple, but he somehow got away. And let me say, for once, she's furious. The dove was found in Greece by demi-god on a quest and brought here. So now Aphrodite wants it returned to her temple in Athens. Now, are there and questions?'
Dan had stopped listening. Now, he was looking at the Leo boy behind Chiron, at the docks. He was looking at a grand ship like he was forever saying goodbye to his baby.
'No, but I think if that guy stays there for a minute longer he'll cry,' Dan wondered aloud. Hey, when you're the naturally feared Child of Hades, have already severely injured a boy (accident) and own a attitude to match your mysteriously hot looks, you can say what you want.
'Hey!' yelled Leo, tearing his gaze. 'I am not about to cry!'
Dan shrugged and returned to his cabin to continue his packing. His cabin had been painted a black and had a skull hanging above the door; the inside was so dark that he had to memorize where his bed was, because he couldn't see. He didn't have much to pack - maybe some weapons, Armour, clothes ... He stared loathing at his few books. Books? Books? Hell no! His eyes scanned to his choice of clothes; black t-shirts with skulls on them, torn jeans and sneakers. Plain and simple.
After being told he was most-likely going to be drowned by his father, he thought about the unfairness of life:
He was being shunned because he had been honest (is this an Apollo thing?)
He was being feared because he was the son of Hell (that's a positive, actually)
He would die because he was born and his father had broken an oath.
A really cool life, huh? Dan sighed depressingly, and finished off his packing. Oh, and did he mention he was going to meet an angry goddess? Although, he doubted what the goddess of love could do to him - meddle with his love life? Pfft!
But if he stared crushing on that Calypso girl, he would have to take a one-way trip to the Underworld.
Then again, he would to that either way.
Sole's day was fine. I mean, sure she was going on a quest to the angry goddess of love, but nothing else was too bad - except she was probably going to drown. No biggie! That Calypso girl was nice. She had already packed and chosen her room. Calypso was driving that Argo III but she though that was only because Leo trusted her the most. Honestly, the way he had been looking at that ship!
She swung her back-pack over her back, and made her way to the dock, hoping that before she drowned, her father could take her to Olympus. Hopefully.
Sole had to admit, the Argo was a fine ship. If it had been a boy, she would have fainted. Once she was on the ship and waved goodbye to all her cabin mates, she went to her room to get some sleep. Calypso was driving, and Dan looked sick as if opening his mouth would equal vomit - but quiet was just the way she like him. She zoomed to her room and collapsed on her bed - hey, a lazy fifteen-year-old girl been woken up a 6.35 AM to leave - she's bound to be sleepy. Admittedly, with the skip swaying side-to-side constantly and the waves crashing and rolling, it was hard but eventually, she drifted off into sleep.
She had a awesome dream; a hot human boy named Argo III was giving a hand to her, asking her for a dance. She could see her cabin-mates giving her thumbs-up, and Dan crying in the background. Cry baby. She happily took his hand and danced away into the night ... so perfect ...
'You are the smartest, cutest and kindest person I have ever met,' said the Argo, leaning in.
Sole smiled and closed her eyes. She expected to feel lips - instead, when she opened her eyes, she was looking at an angry Son of Hades.
'Why did you wake me up?' snapped Sole.
'Well, I don't know, maybe because this is my room!' he retorted.
Sole blinked. 'Nuh-uh. Calypso promised me this room!'
'Leo promised me this room!'
Normally, Sole wold retort. But she was too sleepy. Now, when the ship swayed, her eyes grew heavy.
'Do what you want,' she yawned, 'but I'm not moving. You'll have to drag me asleep.'
If she had stayed conscious for a few more minutes, she would have seen Dan shrug and hop into the unnaturally massive bed - massive enough so she didn't realize him sleeping on the other side.
I promise in the next chapter there will be some action!
