VII
As I regained consciousness again, a more pressing question came to mind. How long have I been sleeping? I jumped out of bed, finding myself in only my underwear. Shit! I saw my clothes on the chair right next to my bed. I put them on, and was glad that there was no one inside the infirmary to see that. Unfortunately, there wasn't a calendar in here either. not to mention the absence of shadows. I checked the door and to my surprise it was locked. now that I looked around more closely, it was suspicious how I only had a mattress, no curtains, and the whole room was flooded with light. this was not the camp infirmary. Where the hell am I?
The door opened after a few minutes or hours of thinking of the possibilities. A man walked in. he had softly chiseled features, and smile wrinkles around his eyes. I didn't recognize him, and he had no shadow. I had no shadow. not in this room. Not in here.
-I have questions to ask you young one.- the man drawled. He didn't enunciate his words, as if he couldn't. he seemed to try, but instead appeared as tired as Annabeth in the camps infirmary.
-Ask away old man. Although I also have quite a few questions to ask as well, so get on with it.- at the end of my sentence I raised my voice slightly, and my voice changed to one I did not recognize. it ordered, not asked.
-Do you know of your powers young one?-The man asked. I didn't understand why he kept saying young one. I was almost 30 although because of the immortality I still looked nineteen.I looked at the man, but he looked maybe ten years older than me.
-It depends on which powers you are talking about.- i reply with a straight face.
-The ones you were born with-The old man replies, and my eyes widen for a second. Does he mean thepowers I was born with from my Dad? or is he talking about something else?
-What dod you mean? if it is about the powers from my father, then of course I know about them. Or are you talking abut something else?- I look at the man infront of me. Gazing into his Topaz eyes.
- I mean the powers from your mother, and the blessings of the gods
