Still Leo's POV

Once I was out of the library, I felt much better. But the mansion (or whatever Carter told me it was) was so colossal I needed a lot of time to get through here; I'd probably get lost in 2 seconds straight, considering my ADHD-ness (I know, not a word but...).

I shuffled to Sadie, blushing a bit. "Umm, could you show me 'round?"

Sadie smiled. "Sure!" She dragged me by my hand towards the dining pavilion (A/N I haven't read TKC for a long time now I need to look back at the books what do you call the place they eat? I kinda just called it the dining pavilion. I think I'm wrong...) and I resisted the urge to look down at our hands (which was hard).


"Well, this is the dining pavilion," Sadie started. Gesturing to the pool next to her, which had a croc in it, she said, "And that is Phillip the croc. He's originally a wax figurine crocodile, but we put him in the water most of the time and, I guess you can say, turn him "alive".

I eyed the croc, wide-eyed. "Cool!" The Egyptian gods didn't have children I guess, but they were still cool. I couldn't wait to show them to Camp Half-Blood... if I'd ever get back again, that is. Sadie showed me the other rooms, most of them which were used for training, and then there's her and her brother's room. Oh, gods. Seriously, I wish I had those kind of rooms.

"You live in there every day?" I stared at the huge room (sound-proof and Sadie told me!), with a king-sized bed and a magical wardrobe that told you what you could wear today, and a oil pot in the balcony were you could relax and talk to your friends through, um, something magical-I hate my ADHD-ness. I don't really pay attention. I guess it's like those rainbow things at Camp, where you could IM people. But still.

"Lucky," I breathed, wistfull. Sadie laughed, and we just stood there for a second. Well, a second for me (I couldn't stop moving, sorry to break the tension).

Then Sadie jerked a finger towards the other rooms.

"It's nearly lunch," Sadie announced, "11:00. Not quite, but you could, umm, see the other's train?" She was blushing, maybe because she couldn't think of anything else, or because, of me. I decided to go for the second idea.

"Sure!" I helped myself to a room. I was going to be the new demigod on the block.

I saw Carter helping some 8-11 year-olds with magic. Once he saw me, he motioned me to stand next to him.

"These are the ankle-biters, our youngest trainees," He stated. "But their becoming very good at Egyptian magic. Shelby (A/N PM me if I spelt her name incorrectly) here," a little girl waved her hand in the air, grabbing a handful of crayons. They soon morphed into weapons of all sorts. I jumped, but I kind of got used to it, because it reminded me of Percy's sword, Riptide. She drew a big giant unicorn on a piece of paper lying nearby and it jumped out of the paper, which took me by surprise (I have to admit...) A baboon which I didn't notice until now, was reading a book upside down, and when little Shelby said something, probably Egyptian, the baboon shrieked and turned into a rat. After a few moments, the rat turned back into a very angry baboon. Carter laughed.

"I guess Shelby's got work to do there," he commented. "That's Khufu, our baboon. For some unknown reason, he likes things that end in O, and only eat things that end in O. You know, Dorito, flamingo..."

"Khufu eats flamingos?" I stifled a laugh, disgusted and amused in the same time.

"Yes," Carter said uncomfortably. "And he likes one of our trainees, Cleo. Probably because her name ends in O." I paled. Carter, who must've thught what I thought, added quickly, "No, Khufu doesn't eat human beings. Though his teeth are quite sharp, mind you."

"Thank you for the warning." I shuffled away from the baboon. Carter laughed.

"It's not that serious."

"I know, I was just kidding." At least I thought I was.


Thanks for AndiCrossDaughterofNeptune I will update! Sorry for not updating sooner... I said that this chapter was going to be important but it was the next chapter that was important because there was too much stuff in between... sorry. Will update today or tomorrow (I will not lie this time...)
