Alright! I am back! Here is the next chapter-

Chapter 4-

*Flash-forward 12 years later*

I rapped my fingers impatiently on my throne. Would this council meeting ever come to an end?

"And so" Zeus said in his most boring voice "I would like to say…" I blocked him out. Poor Adara. She must be so bored…. "Hera? HERA!" I jumped "Are you listening?" Zeus asked annoyed while Hermes snickered. I threw him a glare and turned back to Zeus.

"I'm sorry dear, I just got distracted" I said.

"I'm sorry dear, I just got distracted" Poseidon mimicked "Pathetic" I glowered at him. We haven't been on such good terms ever since I took his son to the roman camp twenty years ago. Zeus sighed and rubbed his temples (A/N Get it? Temples? Greek god? Haha pun? No? Whatever).

"As I was saying" he growled "My son, Skylar's birthday is coming up soon so I think we can have that day off."

"Why don't we have days off on our children's birthdays?" asked Apollo.

"Cause mine are better than your Apollo" oh great this was going to bring an argument.. Will I ever get out of here?

"FIRST off! I would like to point out that you are talking about YOUR GRANDCHILDREN there father. And SECOND of all how are your children the best?" I closed my eyes and let them have at it for a couple minutes before I stood up and yelled

"STOP!" everyone looked at me.

"I just want to leave already! Zeus when is Skylar's birthday?"

"December 29th" He said. A felt a bit of pleasure in me. I now knew Adara's birthday! We had just celebrated it in January since that is the time I had found her.

"Fine. We all get that get that day off because you want to see your son basically yes?" Zeus nodded. "So" I said turning to Apollo "I think it is fair that you can see some of your children on their birthdays yes?" They all nodded in agreement. "Good lets go!" I said and strode out of the room. I felt all the gods eyes on me but paid no mind. I hurriedly got into my chariot and raced off looking over my shoulder every so often to make sure I wasn't be followed. Soon I got a range of mountains. I landed in one of the farther mountains and hopped off gracefully.

I then moved aside some brush and bushes to reveal a heavy set door. I put my hand to it and it began to glow. With a click it opened.

I went inside and smiled. The room I entered was flowing with classical music. Rows and rows of books (all written in Greek) filled the walls, and paintings of mountains filled the room. On a golden bed laid a girl. She was on her stomach, her black, curly hair fell into her face. Her blue eyes intent and concentrating as she was doing a crossword puzzle.

"Adara" I said. She looked up and a huge smile lit up the fourteen year old's face.

"Mom!" she said excitedly "Guess what?" I walked over and sat down next to her.

"What is it?" I asked. Looking at my daughter's excited expression.

"A monster came here today!" my heart plummeted.

"Again?" I asked. Adara nodded her face full of life.

"Yes; it came in here and attacked me, but don't worry, I used my knife and killed it! I also zapped it just to be sure. It was a hellhound I think." I bit my lip. I had already told her everything. That she was a daughter of Zeus, that I had taken her when she was a baby, that she had a twin brother. I had told her about Camp Half-blood too.

I was going to take her there when she turned fifteen. I had already trained her with every weapon I could think of. I had also, taught her to use her powers. But Chiron was a much better teacher than I, so it would be better if she was taught by him how to defend herself.

But as the days past, more and more monsters found her and I found myself more agitated by the fact that she was in constant danger. I couldn't shield her forever and I knew that.

"Hey" I said trying to keep my voice shaking "I found out when your birthday is today" she looked up at me and threw the finished puzzle she had been working on into a pile with all the others she had done over the years.

"Really? When is it?" she asked.

"December 29th" I answered. I could see her gears turning.

"That means I'll be fifteen this month…in one week" I flinched but nodded.

"Yes…you will be going to Camp soon…" my voice broke and Adara put her arms around me.

"I'll be ok" she assured me "I promise!" I forced a smile.

"of course you will darling!" I said "now lets go over your lessons shall we?" Her face turned into a pout.

"Do I have to?" I laughed at her expression.

"Yes" I said ruffling her hair. She sighed

"Ok" she said rather dramatically reminding me of her father and sat up.

"Alright, so who is this?" I said pointing to a picture in one who Greek Mythology books. She peered in and answered quickly.

"Atlas" she said "He was general and brother to Kronos, king of Titans and lord of time. He was punished after the first titan war by being forced to holding up the sky for eternity. He holds the sky of mount. Tam where the ruins of Othyrs lie." I nodded approvingly.

"What is this battle?" I asked showing her the picture.

"A scene from the Trojan war" she said sounding slightly bored.

"Tell me about this war" Adara froze and looked at me. I knew she didn't want to say anything bad about me. I smiled at her assuring.

"Well…" she started slowly. "It all started when a goddess was to be wed to a mortal king. There was a prophecy that one day her son would be greater than his father so Zeus wed her to a mortal man so the child would pose no threat to gods. Eris, however was upset that she was not invited to the wedding so she threw a golden apple in the middle of the table that said 'for the fairest'. Athena, Aphrodite….and Hera went for the apple arguing that it was each there's. To decide they asked Zeus who was the fairest and he told them that, that could only be judged by the handsomest man in the world.

So they asked Paris to be the judge. Each of the Goddess bribed him for his vote. Athena, a great army with him as general. Hera amazing powers and marriage life, and Aphrodite the love of the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris chose Aphrodite and then won the heart of Helen of Sparta. Helen who was happily married to a king took one look at Paris and fell in love, following him to Troy. Angered, Sparta went to Troy to demand her back thus, beginning the Trojan war." She finished.

"Good" I told her and we went on with our lesson. Unaware we were being watched.
