So, uh... I don't exactly remember all the gods I listed... But, that still stands if I am going to make PEyton a legacy I need to know by like... this chapter so...
Chapter 32 - Stuff, Stuff, and More Stuff
The introduction to Chiron was… interesting to say the least. After all, he thought Alexandra died on a quest 7 years ago so… that is interesting? He seemed kinda surprised when I introduced Connor and Travis(apparently gods usually only have one kid unless they have twins which never happens, until me and Percy that is…).
"How about Alexandra shows Travis and Connor around the camp while me and Peyton talk." Chiron suggested. It was more of a 'get out so I can talk to her' sadly Connor didn't get it.
"Why can't she come too?" Connor asked.
"How about we go prank the Athena kids, so horse-butt and Peyton can chat,"
This convinced Connor so he and Travis left with Alexandria.
"So, your prophecy?" he asked me
"Um, well I went on the quest, and last I saw Percy he was alive. So that is good…"
"And the daughter of death?" asked Chiron, prompting me to continue.
"I met a girl named Hazel. Her dad is Pluto." I said.
Chiron sucked in a breath, "A child of the big three?"
"No, no no, she was dead. I bumped into her in the fields of asphodel." I quickly corrected him before he jumped to conclusions.
"Oh well, what about the other parts? The many gods akin and other stuff?"
"Oh, well, I met Ares, Hermes, Hades, uh… I think that is it… I also met Morpheus but I am not sure if he counts." I would have continued ranting about all the monsters and the arch and then I would have asked about Guido. But… he stopped me.
"You met WHO?"
"Uh, Morpheus, is that bad?" I asked. You know, a horse can be intimidating when he wants to.
"He is supposed to be in his prison." Chiron started pacing.
"Is that prison on the bank of the lethe?" I asked, hopefully.
Chiron looked at me like I was crazy, "How do you know that?" he asked.
"Uh…"
"Only the Olympian gods are supposed to know it! I'm not even supposed to know!" Chiron continued ranting.
"So… now probably isn't the best time to mention he messed with my head..." I pointed out.
Chiron went pale, "από τον Δία και όλους τους θεούς(Talk to google translate cause the writer is busy.), child."
As my mind translated that to 'by zeus and all the gods' I assumed that meant it was bad but after that Chiron refused to talk about it anymore.
OUr conversion wrapped to a close with the sound of screaming.
"Oh shoot, I forgot what usually happens when Alexandra pranks someone." Chiron looked pained.
"Also, Horse-butt?" I asked.
"7 years ago all of the campers called me that and she was the one that started it. After she went missing no one called me that as a tribute to her. I have a feeling it will come back like wildfire now."
We ran outside to see all of the athena campers passed out on the ground around their cabin.
"Alexandra!" I yelled, "What the Hera did you do?"
"It was a fake spider!" she was arguing with this guy Malcolm.
"I don't care that I haven't seen you since I was five Alexandra, spiders are crossing the line." Malcolm crossed his arms.
"Come on! I did this once when you were 4 and you loved it!" she complained.
"That was more than 8 years ago! Before I learned about arachne!" Malcolm argued.
"IF IT IS FAKE, IT WON'T ATTACK YOU!" ALexandra tried to reason.
"Alexandra, what the heck did you do?" I asked.
"So, it was you who found her?" Malcolm asked.
"Y'all know each other?" I asked.
"Yeah, I was his babysitter back when he was 3, 4, and 5, then I got a quest and well, you know…"
"You got stuck in a place that bent time, yeah I got that but why do all of the athena kids look dead?" I gestured to all the campers passed out on the ground.
"We didn't do it!" Connor had a crap-eating grin on his face.
"Travis and Connor stoll! If you don't tell me exactly what you did I will drag you by your ears to your cabin and lock you in there." I threatened.
"We filled bags with magic dust and she used the misty stuff to make it huge and then she made the sounds and images of spiders and then we ran while all of the people in the cabin spilled out and fainted from fright." Connor said.
"You know what, that isn't the worst thing I have ever seen in a prank. One of my bunk mates tried to scare people by throwing fake blood everywhere. I just walked in, took in the mess, walked out. Like I am doing now. I need a nap."
Naps are illegal now. Just gonna say that. Also, WHAT THE FREAKING, THE GUY WHO IS MY DAD FORGOT MY NAME AFTER HE WROTE ME A LETTER! HOW SEXIST IS THAT? I MEAN WHAT THE LITERAL HADES? THE LETTER HAD MY LITTERAL NAME ON IT AND YOU THINK MY NAME IS PENNY? DON'T GODS HAVE SUPER MEMORY?
Also, ranting in a book gives me time to think. About stuff like, I'm half roman so does that mean I have two dads? Two dads that are essentially that same person? Oh gods, my life is over. And, I am 12 and sound like a teenager. Where has my life gone?
Also, I think Morpheus did something to me. Still don't know what but, I think that I almost fell asleep 2 more times than I usually do a day so… yeah.
Making the cake was actually pretty fun. Turns out me and Annabeth have a lot in common and she, me, and Alexandra all had a lot of fun baking the cake. Of course after we made the first one we had to make a second one. That one things got a little sloppy. First, Grover accidentally spilled some flour on Travis, who then threw some at Connor and they had a little three way flour fight while the girls finished the cake batter. When the batter was mixing the girls were standing around talking(the war was still going) when some flour hit me in the face.
"Oh crap, Pey I can explain-" Travis put his hands out but when he tried to explain he got a face full of flour.
"This means war!" I yelled.
Then of course the girls joined the fight and it was girls against boys. We took a small break to put the second cakes in the oven(by the way, Camp Half-blood has a kitchen which is actually a lot like my mom's.
When the cakes were done we stopped the war completely and decorated it. When we were done we walked out to find Percy outside the big house staring at us.
"He did it!" 5 voices came. EVeryone was pointing at Travis who had has hands in the air.
"I didn't do anything!" he protested.
"Actually, you threw flour at my face!" I gestured to my face and hair.
"I'm gonna stay out of it." Percy walked towards the big house just leaving us there, covered in flour.
