Carter's PoV
Along the streets it seemed like I was in Rome. There barista all had steamy coffee ready for anyone to enjoy. I swear, I wish I could live here. No battles. No shitty monsters trying to tear me apart. It almost seems normal here. When I entered the bathhouse, it was empty. It had the same architecture as the rest of the building had except this place has one Olympic sized bath in the middle. Huh, Strange. Along the back wall were different sized clothes and shoes. I guess there for everyone? It has everything thing I could imagine. I grabbed a towel and slowly stepped into the bath.
When I finished cleaning myself I walked back towards the clothes.
Whoa, these people here have a sense of style! Where do they even get this stuff!?
The clothes must have been expensive. They all were shiny and new as if they were straight from the mall. Sweet!
I picked out a plain purple V - neck as it was the only one without the letters SPQR sprawled across it. A pair of black denim shorts and some white converse that has writing scribbled on them. I quickly pulled my blonde curly hair into neat ponytail. Throwing my towel into one of the hampers, I exited back out of the bath houses.
I followed back the directions Annabeth gave me and stopped in front of a large cathedral - like building.
" Put all weapons inside the gray bucket... please," A man suddenly asked. To my left a man was standing. Wait no; he wasn't standing he's a... statue? his arms were cut off at the shoulders and below the waist he was a block of clay.
" Umm.." I replied dumbfounded. " I don't have a weapons. I lost mine in battle,"
He stared at me skeptically until finally speaking. " Yes you do, you lying Graeca! It's in your back pocket!" I stared at him quizzically while reaching behind me. My eyes must have been the size of baseballs as I brought my mini key chain dagger out of my pocket. How did it get there, in its original form? It should still be in that monster dust pile by the river.
It returns to you when you lose it, darling. A woman's voice echoed inside my head.
Long time no talk, voice. What, were my own thoughts keeping you busy. I snarled inside my head.
" Now put it in the basket. My assistant is at dinner now and she usually holds it for me," He explained while breaking me from my inner voice and I's 'chat'. I placed it carefully in the basket. " Now you may go through,"
