Chapter 4
Dinner that night was great which seemed like an insult to what had happened today. He ate a hamburger with a side of chips then wolfed down two bowls of ice-cream. See, the bowls,cups and plates were magic so you just told them what you wanted and it just appeared.
He couldn't believe that he had to sit at his own table though. At one point he tried to go over and sit with Percy but Chiron grabbed his arm and gave him a warning.
After dinner was a campfire sing-along which was lead by the Apollo kids whose dad was the God of poetry, music and archery. Lachlan sat near Eliza but immediately felt uncomfortable when another boy sat down next to her. "Hey Row," Eliza said.
"Hey Liza. How are you," the new guy said. Lachlan glanced down and saw Eliza's hand shaking as if she was nervous.
The last song ended and the Apollo kids say down. Chiron rode up and stomped his hoof. "Heroes." Chiron's voice echoed around the entire pavilion. "Yesterday, we had a new demigod cross through the borders of the camp chased by a cyclops. Eliza bravely slew the beast a Lachlan collapsed with a broken leg." A few campers snorted but Chiron glanced at them and they went quiet. "Lachlan. Please come up"
Lachlan didn't want to get up. He wanted to stay hidden in the crowd and not do anything to embarrass himself but all eyes turned to him and he was forced to get up. He stood next to Chiron and tried not to look stupid.
"Everyone, this is Lachlan- what's your last name?" Chiron looked a bit embarrassed himself.
"Moore. My name is Lachlan Moore. And I'll tell you now that I don't belong here. I'm not li-" Thunder boomed and lightning flashed. One bolt of lightning hit not very far away and illuminated the whole camp. After the smoke cleared, Lachlan saw a very handsome man in a pinstriped purple suit and well combed hair.
He casually walked over. Chiron knelt down and everyone but Lachlan did the same. "Lord Zeus. We are honoured by your presence," Chiron said. Eliza gestured for Lachlan to kneel but he didn't.
"You're Zeus huh. I thought you'd look more impressive," Lachlan said.
Zeus laughed and everyone else did the same. "Lachlan, if you weren't my son I would blast you to pieces for that."
Lachlan gagged. "Your son?"
"Yes. You are my son. And look. You've grown."
