(A tribute to Hephaestus' greatest children, requested by 'Let us find the dam snack bar')
Beckendorf's world used to revolve around metal,
every movement so precise, more precious than a petal,
More in tune with the world than Hansel and Gretel,
The water you boil, his father invented the kettle.
18 yrs old, thats what Beckendorf was; a man,
A tan fan of fixing sedans,
reader of the qur'an until his knowledge of the greek gods began,
There was a plan that failed and became an explosion that scanned an area larger than Bhutan,
But smaller than Sudan,
Greek fire vial, more powerful than the nuclear bomb on Japan,
But from it, he never ran,
Never drank from goblets, always from tin cans,
Annabeth was always better than both Leo and Charles at battle plans,
but they can always help you fix an exhausted fan.
Valdez and Beckendorf both experienced pain,
Both physical and of the brain,
One of them is fighting the gods' bane,
While the other has set sight on a cruise ship to smite,
Whatever they did it wasn't for their gain,
They both somehow managed to stay sane,
Even after all the monsters they've slain,
They both have had bad luck with Poseidon's domain,
One died and the other is trying to prove it wasn't in vain.
A pyrotechnic, controller of flame and fire,
Guess he never needs a fryer,
His attire, after he found out he was a son of the forge, consisted of barbed wire,
Which the entirety CHB don't desire,
And he's the only one stupid enough to yell at the Ares kids 'Cease FIRE'!,
After the misfire, because of what transpired, he was required,
to fix CHB's telephone wire.
When there's a flame,
Guess who 'Aunt' Rosa will blame,
"Fire User" that's his claim to fame,
It's a shame that no one knew his name,
"Did he just set the ball game aflame?" you exclaim,
'Repair Boy' is his stage name,
He has claimed his spot in the hall of fame.
Flame or Fire, it produces light,
it can reach amazing heights,
and is very bright,
And the sight of it,
causes Khione fright,
It can be Greek, Blue, Orange or White.
