The Heroes of Olympus-Book 2 1/2
Chapter 3
The movie was about twenty years old, and the commentary was done by some goat-man (a satyr, as she later learned) dressed in 80's style clothing.
Daphne watched in awe as the satyr filled her in on everything she needed to know about her new life: the twelve main gods, monsters, weapons, cabins-she couldn't believe it. Well she could believe in the gods still being around, and monsters and even demigods. She just couldn't see how she could be one, how someone like her could ever be a hero.
The movie finished within half an hour, which is right when Piper returned, bringing the blonde girl from last night.
They walked over to her bed and Piper introduced them. "Daphne, this is my friend Annabeth."
The girls shook hands. Daphne tried being friendly. "You were the one on patrol last night?"
Annabeth grinned, "Yeah, nice of you to bring all those monsters with you."
"Hey now," giggled Daphne, "those were the kids' dogs. I didn't see a single monster my whole trip."
She looked puzzeld. "Really? Where did you walk from?"
"Ottawa," replied Daphne, "I've been on the road for a week."
Annabeth kept questioning her, "You've been in the woods for days, and you didn't get attacked once? That's, well, really rare. You must be lucky if you made it here on your own."
Piper looked at her, "But she did have help. Daphne, tell her all the stuff you told me."
It was a little unsettling, having Annabeth's grey eyes staring at her so intently, but Daphne described the events leading up to her journey for Camp Half-Blood.
The two of them listened quietly, only interrupting twice. When Daphne was describing the white lady, Annabeth's grip tightened on the bedrail, and Piper whispered, "it sounds like-"
"I know," Annabeth's voice was furious, "go on Daphne."
The other time she interrupted was during the retelling of her dream.
"So the boat looked wrecked?"
"Pretty much," replied Daphne, "it didn't look like it could float, but it was speeding across the sea, and I didn't see a motor."
Annabeth's eyes widened, "Who were the kids? What did they look like?"
"There was a big Asian guy, an African-American girl who looked about thirteen, and a Caucasian guy with dark hair and green eyes," Daphne's memory surprised her, "he looked about sixteen."
Piper looked shocked, "You don't think that-"
"Yes!" Annabeth had a hopeful expression, "How else would a boat like that travel at all? It's Percy."
"Um, excuse me, " said Daphne, "but do you know him?"
"Yeah, he's my boyfriend, but he was kidnapped and now we're going to..." Annabeth trailed off, her mind racing. Piper gave Daphne a look that just said Give her a minute.
Annabeth looked up a moment later, "You should see Rachel, she's the Oracle."
Piper agreed, "She can help make sense of your dream. I think she'll be getting here in about half an hour, which gives us just enough time to give you a tour."
"Umm," Daphne said, still confused of why she needed to see an oracle, "Great."
She got out of bed and slung her backpack over her shoulder. Then she noticed the crowbar lying on the floor, and picked it up. Hey, she thought to herself, it's been pretty useful.
The three girls headed outside. It was probably late morning, but the air was already warm.
"So," Daphne said as they started towards the ampitheater, "what do you guys think my dreams are about, 'cause it's still sort of a mystery to me."
Annabeth was the first to reply. "Do you know about the Titan war?"
"Uh," Daphne had read up on a fair bit of mythology, "Like when Kronos attacked the gods thousands of years ago?"
"Yes and no. History tends to repeat itself, and Kronos tried to make a comeback last summer by attacking Olympus."
"Which is above the Empire State Building nowadays," chimed Piper.
Annabeth continued, "Yeah, son now, just like before, Gaea is planning on overthrowing the gods with her army of giants, and attacking them at their roots. There's a prophecy that says that seven demigods will be able to save the gods and lull Gaea back to sleep."
"So you're saying I had some dream about the demigods."
Annabeth looked her in the eye, "I'm saying you are one of the demigods."
Sorry it's so short. Please R&R!
