Chapter 8: The surprises Mount Up
Joey led Yami past some bushes at the edge of the forest to a sandy valley down the hill bordering the lake at the edge of the camp.
The satyr looked at his friend as they got closer to the edge. "There's someone i want you to meet. Check this out." he did a little jump and jogged the rest of the way to the edge.
Yami, shouldering his bookbag, looked out onto the sandy beaches and heard the beating of hooves echo across the sand. "Oh, wow!" he said in amazement as he saw a heard of horses, could he even call them horses? They had the body of a horse from the neck down, yes, but from that up was the torso of a human. "What are those things?"
"They're Centaurs."
Yami watched as one of the centaurs broke away from the heard and started to gallop towards the hill, tossing his hair back Yami started to recognize him. "Wait a minute, is that Mr. Brunner?"
Joey patted his friend's shoulder, "Come on." smiling he started racing down the hill with Yami in tow. Joey was racing down the hill like a small child at Christmas as Yami was being careful not to fall down the turning incline and chuckled as he got to the bottom.
"Mr. Brunner?" he asked as he jogged up to the centaur. Yami still gripped his bookbag and held his other arm out in disbelief.
"In my world, I'm known as Chiron." Chiron spread his arms as if to say the camp or the land they were standing on was the world he was talking about and beamed down at the two a bit breathless. "Are you recovered?"
Yami looked at him in shock and surprise, "Am I recovered? You, you're not in a wheelchair. You have…" he gestured to the bottom half of Chiron, not really finding the right word.
"A real horse's ass," Chiron stated, a matter of fact, and grinned at him. "I apologize for hiding my true form, but I needed to keep an eye on you. I hope you'll forgive me."
Yami looked at his friend, thinking, 'like he needs to apologize?'
Chiron waved his arm, "Come."
All three started to walk down the beach back to camp, Yami staying silent for that time as he tried to let the new knowledge finally wash over him like a wave. As they reached camp Yami saw a log cabin with a wrap-around deck, a large doorway with a ramp, and tiki torches. Flags with tridents hung high above the doorway that went through the building out to the lake..there was a room at each side with windows, some half open and others closed by tan tarps and they all looked at it in awe.
"Hey Joey!" female voices called over to them. The said satyr looked over to a group of girls that were laying in what looked to be a hot spring, in bikinis all shouting and motioning him over in excitement.
"Ooh, the daughtahs of aphrodite." Joey patted Yami on the chest as he looked at the girls. "Okay, alright, guys. Yous got a lot of catching up to do. Their mothah's the goddess of love, so you know where that leads. Hey, baby! Woo!" he left the two and ran over to the girls with his arms spread out and the girls cheered louder.
Chiron snorted, "Satyrs."
They watched as joey hopped on his goat legs in excitement.
Yami shook his head at his friend's antics but turned his attention back to the cabin before them. "What is this place?"
"Welcome home." Chiron looked down at Yami. "Your father built this for you." he patted him on the shoulder and they walked in.
Once entering, the room to the right had a burgundy leather chair, a chest, a telescope, and books. "Wow." Yami said in amazement, he looked back at Chiron after he threw his bag down, "this whole place is mine?" Chiron spread his arms out, as to show that it all indeed was his. The teen walked over to the side of the cabin, grabbing a trident and walking to the window. "This thing's got some weight to it." when he got to the window he looked out at the water, but in the center of the window, as the steel bars cross, in the cent was a circle with another trident. Yami looked back at the trident in his hand and looked at it in realization. "My Father's Poseidon…"
"God of the seas," Chiron confirmed, hooking his thumb in his vest and placing his other hand on his hip.
"Why didn't anybody tell me?" he looked over at Chiron, upset.
"It was for your own safety." Chiron waved his hand as if that was the best explaining he could do for the time being. "It's exceedingly rare for a child to be born to one of the bi\g three. You're very powerful. A threat." He crossed his arms.
As Chron spoke, Yami put the trident down by a post and walked over to a dresser, and started looking at the object before looking at him, surprised. "A threat? Who am I threatening?"
The Centaur looked down, some worry written on his face. "Poseidon's brothers, Zeus and Hades. That's why your mother married your stepfather, his pungent odor masked the smell of your blood," Chiron walked more into the cabin towards the east wall and Yami slowly followed him, "and hid you from anything or anyone the gods would send to kill you."
Yami could feel the guilt wash over him as he remembered all the times he argued with his mother to just divorce that sorry excuse of a man. All the times Aknadin harassed Mai and Yami heard her crying from his bedroom. He looked up at Chiron, "My mother put up with that creep to protect me?" his old teacher nodded. "I wish I'd known… she sacrificed so much for me. And now she's gone." Yami's face turned angry as he stormed out onto the deck behind the cabin and looked out onto the water, Chiron slowly followed him out there. "Why am I even here?"
"You're here because you're in jeopardy, everyone thinks you're the lightning thief." Chiron stood behind him.
Yami turned to him as he walked in front of him, "Look, I didn't steal it."
Zeus' bolt is the most powerful weapon ever created. And if it's not returned by the summer solstice, in ten days, there will be a war."
Yami pointed at Chiron accusingly. "This is your problem, all right? Not mine."
"This is about all worlds!" Chiron's voice boomed as he interrupted Yami, the teen looked at him and then walked over to the other side of the dock as Chiron continued. "Olympians would be forced to choose sides, earth would become a battleground. Mountains erupted, earthquakes, raging fires! The end of life as you know it."
Yami sighed and turned back to the centaur, walking back up to him he said, "What can we do?"
Chiron crossed his arms, "I want to take you to Olympus, convince Zeus of your innocence. Someone's using you to start a war."
Yami looked around, thinking too fast, "What are we doing here? Let's go now."
Chiron looked at Yami knowingly, "Your boldness is commendable, but outside those gates," he pointed in their direction, "you would be in danger at all times. The Fury and the Minotaur were only the beginning. First, we must train." he patted Yami on the back and walked back towards the cabin.
Yami looked down, still angry and registering all of what his old teacher told him. Then followed Chiron out of the cabin.
A little bit later, Joey and Yami were walking through the camp and watching as other campers were getting some last-minute training in.
Joey laughed as they kept walking, "This is always a fun game to watch."
Yami was following him close behind, situating the armor plating on his chest, "Ow! God, how can you guys wear this stuff it weighs more than me!"
The satyr turned to his friend, beginning to walk backward. "Look, trust me yams. Wear it or you'll get killed."
Yami looked at his friend and began to run after him, "Wait what? What? Wait…"
"Heroes! Warriors! Fall in!" Chiron's voice boomed in the middle of the field, three campers stood behind him, two holding different colored flags, one blue and one red. All of the campers started to form a crowd in front of Chiron, one side wearing red shirts under their armor, the other wearing blue. "Hustle, hustle! Dylan, Paris stop lollygagging!" as everyone finally crowded in, Yami looked over at the girl he saw earlier, her striking amethyst eyes looking back at him. It was as if her eyes were analyzing every single move he would make.
"Yami. Step forward." Yami broke out of his trance and walked over to the centaur, Joey giving him an encouraging look. When Yami got next to Chiron, the taller of the two put his hand on the smaller's shoulder. "This is Yami Sennen!" the crowd erupted into chattering, Yugi being the only one who was still staring at him. "And he's going to need a team."
"We'll take him." a voice with a British accent spoke up. Emerging from the blue side came a male teen with long white hair and soft brown eyes. He had on a vest similar to Yami's with a helmet in his hand and a shield in his other. He looked at Yami, "I'm Bakura. Son of Hermes and camp leader." he smiled at the teen," not necessarily in that order. Where's your helmet?"
"Uh, no one gave me one."
"Ah," Bakura looked up at Chiron, "Chiron, you still got your wheelchair? Kid's gonna need it. You're a goner, man." Yami looked at him worriedly, and Bakura grinned, "I'm messing with you. Smile a little bit, it's good for you, kid." he leaned over and patted his arm before addressing the blue side of the crowd. "Anybody got an extra helmet? Please pass it up." a camper passed Bakura a helmet and he looked at Yami's gravity-defying hair and back at the helmet before handing it to him. "Uh, try it on. That'll protect you. So will all of us, welcome to the Blue Soldiers, my friend." The two boys shook hands.
"Alright! Everyone in position for Capture the Flag!" Chiron boomed again. "First team to capture the enemy's banner wins. dismissed!"
