Chapter 4!
Everyone at camp started training extra hard. Except for the Aphrodite cabin. They never really did anything for this kind of stuff. I sometimes wonder if I was claimed by the wrong goddess. I mean I love all my siblings. I'm just a lot them with being smart, my looks, and the love of architecture, but personality wise I'm just like the kids from Aphrodite. Oh well I love my family and I couldn't get anyone better than them.
I was all alone in my cabin. It was free time but I just didn't feel like going to art today. I decided I would go to see Chiron. He wasn't in his office when I got there though. There was a note on his desk for me. It said:
DEAR LYRA,
I HAD A FEELING YOU WERE GOING TO COME AND TALK TO ME TODAY AT THIS TIME, SO IF YOU NEED ME I WILL BE IN THE SWORD FIGHTING ARENA.
CHIRON
I decided I would go and talk to him in the arena. There were so many people in the arena. I could tell most of the Athena cabin was here, of course the entire Ares cabin. I don't like Clarisse. She always calls me names when she sees me. Anyways there are a lot of people here.
I started walking towards Chiron. He was standing at the far end of the arena.
"Chiron," I yelled, "I need to have a word with you."
"Yes, Come here," He replied "I knew you would need to speak to me."
"I just want to know," I stated, "Why am I not like the rest of my siblings?"
"I'm not sure Lyra, maybe it's just the way you grew up." I didn't understand.
"I want to battle, just like the rest of them." I said.
"Ok," he replied, "Fight!" He handed me a newly forged sword.
"What?" I asked. I was really surprised.
"Fight Cody, or maybe one of your siblings they are some of the best fighters here." He said. I didn't know how to react. I went over to talk to Zeba. WOW. I haven't really seen her in a few days so her appearance surprisingly changed. She had gotten a couple battle scars, and she had a black eye. Her hair wasn't neat like usual either.
"Hey sis," I said.
"Hi." Her voice sounded really sad.
"What's wrong?" I asked. She never replied to me. She just ran off out of the arena I decided I would go over to Annabeth and see if she knew anything about it.
"Hey do you know what is wrong with Zeba?" I asked.
"No, I haven't talked to her lately," she replied.
(A: N- I'm really sorry that it was short. But it is just getting exciting :])
