Miranda's POV

It is nearly sunset when Antonio and I reach the Dining Pavilion. Everyone was already there. I walk Antonio towards the Hermes table. Karissa was already there glaring at her plate. The poor Hermes kids sitting next to her looked scared to death. I have this sudden feeling that they will be the first to die if she goes on a rampage. I reach the Hermes table and force Antonio to take a seat next to the Stoll brothers. The Stoll brothers immediately engage him in conversation. As long as he keeps his money in sight he'll be fine. I then head towards my own table, trying my best to ignore the not so subtle glances and soft whispers. As I pass the Aphrodite table, it becomes quite clear that they have no clue what subtlety is. Who is that boy? Is he available? What was he doing with her?For a slight moment I imagine how wonderful it would be to throw half of them off a cliff. I reach the Ares table and sit down in the first seat available. Constant whispering begins immediately. Oh rumors, Happy happy joy joy... I can't even escape them at my own table. Just because I never interact in any "social" activities doesn't mean I have never talked to anyone... Ok maybe I don't do it often... Ok fine once a month leave me alone! I groan and hide my head in my arms. This day can not get Chiron pounded his hoof against the floor to make everyone shut up, before raising his glass and saying,"To the Gods!". Everyone followed suite before digging in to the delicious meal. I stare at my glass and mutter "Gatorade". The glass fills to the brim with blueberry gatorade, that I gulp down without a second thought. Then we all stand up and take a portion of food as an offering to the gods. I walk towards the fire, the sweet scent of the burning meals intoxicating me, and when I reach the fire I just mutter "yeah you know who this is for...". I walk back to my table but decide, against my better judgement,to walk past the Hermes table on my way there. As I walk by, I see the Stoll brothers cracking jokes at Antonio and Antonio laughs along with them. Karissa on the other hand, looks like she's going to murder the glass in front of her. I walk towards Karissa, slightly worried for everyone's safety.
"Hey are you alright?"
Karissa just continues on glaring at the glass.
"It won't fill up," she finally grumbles.
I stare at her confused.
"You just have to tell it what you want and-"
She turns to me her brown eyes flashing dangerously, and I can see a slight streak of greyish, blue in her eyes. And then she screams.
"BUT IT WON'T WORK!"
At that exact moment a bolt of lighting strikes the table, and everyone, except Karissa, jumps backwards. A scream of shock from Antonio makes us all turn around to look at him, and what I see makes my jaw drop. I'm guessing during the shock with the lighting bolt he somehow got water on one of his injuries and now the wound was absorbing the the water and healing the wound. Then a sea-green trident appeared over Antonio's head. Antonio pales and everyone else is just in shock. Even I'm shocked. I mean, another Poseidon kid? I thought they couldn't even have children! Where did he come from?! Thunder begins clashing and every single Aphrodite kid in the area begins screaming, and, before we can find anywhere to hide, we come face to face with some very angry gods...
