Chapter 2

What a welcome...

Before I could say another word, Chiron was ushering me out of the room. It wasn't long bofer that boy- Joshua, wasn't it?- had caught up with us too. That's when I got a good look at him. He had shaggy gray hair. Why'd he have gray hair? He was a kid, right? He was slightly taller then me and had bright blue eyes. Now that I'd calmed down, he looked sot of cute. Sort of.

"Chiron! What's wrong?" He asked, watching me with those big eyes. I could just see the curiousness and cautiousness in them.

"Nothing. I just need to see Percy. She needs to meet her mentor..." Chiron trailed off and winked at him.

"No, no way! She's a big three? How come she already knows?" Joshua narrowed his eyes as he looked away. "They never know this early... Why is she so special?" He grumbled.

"Who's Percy?" I asked, utterly confused by all this. I'd just just got here and I already had a mentor and someone that hated my guts for being here. What a nice start, right?

James rolled his eyes and said, " He's son of Poseidon. He defeated Kronos along with Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Luke Castellan, son of Hermes. The three of them are legend now." I watched him carefully. This kid knew his stuff.

"Who's you parent?" I wondered aloud. It was Josh's turn to watch me.

"Why do you need to know?"

"I'm curious." I retorted simply, flashing them one of those sarcastic smiles.

He sighed halfheartedly. "I'm a son of-" He was cut off by a loud BOOM! He sprinted toward the sound, pulling something from his pocket. Wait, did he just pill out a ring? What was that isiot thinking? He was running toward a big boom with just a ring?I watched as he twisted the jewel on the ring and throw it in the air. It shimmered and became a sword mid-flip. He caught it perfectly by the hilt and continued running. The act left me silent and in awe.

"How did he-" I started to question, but Chiron swooped me up onto his back and we started toward the unknown sound.
