Chapter 7

Ellie's P.O.V

Homer and I tiptoed to what I figured was Sally and Paul's room. Fi was still asleep so we went to the desk and picked up the laptop as quietly as possible. We took it out to the balcony.

As I waited for Homer to start the laptop up I couldn't help looking around. New York really was beautiful. And never quiet it seemed. There was always noise around, cars where still everywhere, people where out partying with loud music blasting through the doors.

"It's ready," said Homer. I sat down on a chair next to him, watching while he clicked on the internet symbol and typed in "Chiron". He found a site and started reading…

"Chiron, from Greek Mythology, was the eldest and wisest of the Centaurs, half-horse and half-man. Unlike the rest of this tribe he was an immortal god, a son of the Titan Kronos and the nymph Philyra. He was most well-known for training the heroes Hercules, Achilles and Jason…"

"So Chiron was from mythology?" I asked.

"That's what it says here," said Homer. "Maybe they mean a different Chiron."

We searched for ages but found nothing but the mythological Chiron.

"OK, search up half-blood," I suggested.

That was no help either, all we found out was that half-blood was another name for demigod, the child of a god and a mortal. We then looked up Camp Half-Blood and came up with more interesting results.

"Camp Half-Blood," I read "is a secret, mythical camp for demigods. The camp director is the Greek god Dionysus, and the activities director is Chiron-" I stopped because just then Annabeth walked out and saw us.
