Hi guys. I've just had my school holidays which have been BORING but at least it's given me a chance to do some writing. In this chapter, Lachlan finally realises that Rowan is an idiot. "What?" You guys say. "We thought Rowan was cool." Well turns out he's not.

Chapter 7

They sat across from each other in the Zeus cabin. "Okay look. I'm a demigod that has never been claimed and might never be all because of this." Eliza showed Lachlan her arm. On it was a crescent moon.

"What's so special about that?"Lachlan asked.

"No ones ever seen it before."

"That's it?" Lachlan wondered why that small mark was so big that Chiron had forbidden Eliza to tell Lachlan about it.

"No. It's not. A couple of days after I got here, I still hasn't been claimed which was weird because after the second Titan war, Percy made all the Gods promise to pay better attention to their kids and claim them quickly. Chiron told me to ask the Oracle of Delphi-"

Lachlan gagged. "The what?"

"The Oracle of Delphi. It's now Rachel, the red head girl. Well anyway, she said that one day a son of Zeus would come along and find out who my mother of father is and I think that might be you," Eliza got up to leave. "I'll let you think about it." Then she was gone.

Lachlan just sat there. He'd been asked a question by a girl he had started to like and she'd expected him to answer it.

Lachlan thought for a while. Only two options came into his head. Artemis and Selene. None of them could be the answer because Selene faded out of existence ages ago and Artemis was a maiden goddess.

Lachlan went outside to clear his mind. He sat down in a bench outside his cabin and closed his eyes. He must've drifted off for a while because a dream found him.

A shadowy figure loomed in front of him. It's voice was a mix between a man's and a woman's. "Help my daughter. Help her. She must figure out her parentage or she will be in grave danger. Help her hero. HELP HER!"

Lachlan jumped back to reality. He saw that Rowan kid that had sat next to Eliza at the campfire, walking towards him. Lachlan stood up and pulled his bronze rod from his back.

"What do you want?" Lachlan asked Rowan.

"Nothing. I only came over here to tell you that you don't have a chance with Eliza. She's mine."

Anger boiled in Lachlan's stomach. "You make her sound like she's your own personal toy. She's a human being. She can decide for herself."

Faster than Lachlan could blink, Rowan drew his sword and swung it at Lachlan. Lachlan thought of a sword and his bronze rod instantly morphed into one. He blocked the strike just in time. Rowan was almost as good as Percy but Lachlan had beaten Percy so Row wasn't as good as him.

Lachlan let loose a blinding flash of lightning that hit Rowan in the chest and flung him backwards. A girl screamed. Lachlan saw Eliza scramble over to him and kneel at his side. She looked up at Lachlan and her face clearly said 'why'.

Chiron cantered over and assessed the damage. He hoisted Rowan onto his back and glared at Lachlan. Lachlan turned and ran.
