Yin: Ha ha. On my gram and gramps computer. Dad is away on a trip and Mom be-eth working. Again. Anyways, hope this turns out to be a good chapter. A little tired and down today. Course being the SICK the past weekend hasn't helped. Urgh.
*Laistrygonian: Human eating cannibals who are usually 8 foot tall. They are fierce warriors. For for information, read Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 2. Tyson fought them at the school.
*Alekanekelo: meaning defender/protector.
* Kitty charmspeaked Kurt. A rare gift even in a daughter of Aphrodite, but it was part of Kitty's blessing. For more information, read Heroes of Olympus Book 1. Piper and Drew use it.
Lance kept telling himself it was just a dream. And his freaky memories about when he was little was just his imagination. Nothing more.
Then Kitty stepped in. There was something different about her. Something made her seem very weak, very...mortal. But there was also an aura about her. Clearly a god...or goddess...had blessed her.
Logan was behind her. He seemed weird too, like a weird hybrid Monster.
A half-blood *Laistrygonian.
A few students drifted in and out. They were mortal. Extremely mortal.
When Scott entered, Lance knew he was mortal too. But like Kitty, he was different. He was a mortal hero.
It was little much for Lance to take in all at once. There were so many new senses, feelings, and much confusion.
"Lance? Lance!" Kitty screamed.
Lance's eyes had rolled into the back of his head, and it appeared as if he was having a miniature seizure.
Kitty touched Lance, and immediately everything stopped. Hardly a person breathed, completely unaware of the cause of the attack.
Lance took a deep breath in, and when he opened his eyes, they flashed a brilliant blue, before settling into their normal chocolate brown.
Everyone just stared. He looked different...
Everything was clear now. Extremely clear.
When Lance had been ready to give up on everything, something, or someone had touched him. Touched his mind.
His father was Poseidon.
Although Lance had known this, he hadn't believed it. It just a split second, Poseidon revealed much to him. Helped balance the confusion. He took away the mortal aspects, revealing Lance's true nature.
Lance was a god.
Lance stood up, and everyone started rushing toward him.
"Lance, you need to sit still!" Kitty was shaking.
"Alvers, it's probably best if you listen to her." Scott, a mortal, was telling him what to do.
Lance just shrugged it off. "I'm fine. I need to talk to Xavier." There was so much sincerity in Lance's voice, no one dared to argue.
It was just Lance and Charles.
"What is wrong Lance?"
"Don't play coy with me Charles. Or shall I call you by your real name? Hm?" Lance was not in the mood for games. He had a quest to fulfill. "
Charles cocked an eyebrow.
"Να μιλάμε ελληνικά, *Alekanekelo?" ("Shall we speak Greek, Alekanekelo?").
"Έχετε ξυπνήσει." (You have awakened.).
"Χάρη στον πατέρα μου. Και άλλοι." ("Thanks to my father. And others.").
"Τι θέλετε?" (What do you want?").
Lance sighed. "The truth." He switched back to English. "This is why I've had so much trouble my entire life, isn't it? Why I hate flying? The trouble reading? I'm worse than any demigod..."
"Maybe. But you are more powerful than one."
Lance nodded. "Why I lived in the water...even my own powers. Ha. Poseidon and Demeter. Why I never had a family. It all makes sense now." Lance was getting angry. "I bet Lance isn't even my real name, is it? I've got some Greek name."
"Mitja Nerios."
"What?"
"That is you. Or, rather, it tells who you are. Your name is Christopher Lance, but Mitja Nerios describes you."
"Thank you, that explains a lot." Lance was being very sarcastic.
"Let me explain it this way. Your name is Lance. Think of Mitja Nerios as an adjective to you, or your name. It means 'of the earth and sea'."
"So I am 'of the earth and sea' and 'the anointed one from the ground'. Ooooh. So exciting."
"You remind me of your father."
Lance scoffed.
Charles laughed. "Do you even realize what you are a part of? You are living in two worlds, and you are very powerful in each."
Lance shook his head. "You are just a crazy, old centaur. I need time...to think. Make sure no one bothers me."
Charles agreed.
"No one is to go into Lance's room for now. Is that understood?"
Kitty gasped. "But Professor! He could have another seizure!"
"Hank checked him over. It was just a delayed reaction. He should be fine now."
Kitty still looked nervous.
"Kurt. Can you check on Lance?" Kitty asked, not hardly 10 minutes after Charles told them to stay out.
Kurt knew tis wasn't a question. It was more of a command. "Keety..."
"Kurt."
So Kurt obeyed.*
BAMF!
Kurt teleported into Lance's room. "Hey, buddy, you here?"
Lance growled. "Wagner, what are you doing here?"
"Keetty vanted me to check on you. Mmmm are zose fudge bars?" Kurt picked up an abrosia bar before Lance could react, and scarfed it down. "Tastes like mein mutter's recipe."
Lance expected Kurt to burst into flames any second, but Kurt just belched. "I'll tell Keetty you're okay, okay?"
Lance nodded, realizing what Kurt was. And just as Kurt
BAMFed
away, Lance muttered one word.
"Demigod."
Yin: Okay, this took me much longer than I thought. I had to convert the greek to english, and even with google translate, it doesn't always come out right. I always double check something like that.
