Chapter 15: Oh My Gods
Annabeth's POV:
Chiron called a meeting with all the cabin leaders and senior councilors. We sat around the ping pong table waiting for the meeting to start.
We were all quiet, considering we all wanted to hear what was going on. Chiron stood at the head of the table, deep in thought. Finally, he took a small breath, and began.
"Demigods" he started, "we have come to a very, very, troubled time." Everyone exchanged nervous glances. We've had enough of that. "Even worse than the second titan war, or the struggle with Gaia." Chiron stopped, looking at all of us in turn. "They are rising again. This time, together. And it is not just them two. They are joining forces… With another monster… From other kinds of gods."
"Those Romans will be the death of us!" Snarled Clarisse. And the others grunted in agreement. I stayed silent. Because I knew that Chiron wasn't talking about the Romans. The whole time I was at Brooklyn House, all everyone really talked about was Apophis, the giant serpent, and how it attacked the city and how big the fight was between Apophis and Brooklyn House.
Panic shot up my throat. If Apophis was rising… And joining forces with Gaia and Kronos… Then that means… That we'll have to join forces… Us, the Romans… and the Egyptians. Ohhh great. Why me?!
Sadie's POV:
So basically, Amos told us that there were other gods - Greeks and Romans. At this point, it didn't really surprise me or Carter. We already kind of figured it out.
But still, we got a jolt of anxiety hearing it from Amos's mouth -to find out that it was true.
Then he told us that Apophis was rising again. Okay, that, we didn't know. To make matters worse, Apophis wasn't rising alone. Oh no. He was rising with Gaia (a Greek/Roman earth goddess that is apparently evil) and Kronos (another Greek/Roman god of time that is also apparently evil) fabulous.
"Don't tell the others about this. Not yet. It'll scare them too much. We can wait a few days. Let them enjoy some peace for a little bit more."
Carter and I had both agreed. We've grown very close to eachother at Brooklyn House. We're family. I care about them very much. No need to make them depressed.
I've noticed that, the whole time, Walt was watching me. He never took his eyes off me. Even when he was popping in information. I don't know whether he was making sure I didn't freak out, or if he was thinking back to the argument we had.
Right now though, I didn't really feel like thinking about it. I just wanted to go to my own, secret, safe place, where I could cry my eyeballs out and just let the wind blow away my worries. Too bad that place doesn't exist. Oh how I wish it did.
Annabeth's POV:
When Chiron told us that there were Egyptian gods, there were gasps all around. Suddenly everyone was speaking at once. Chiron stomped his hoof on the ground for silence. It took a while for everyone to calm down, but eventually everyone did. He told us to tell our cabin mates of this meeting, and to tell them not to worry. He didn't tell us much about the Egyptians, even though everyone asked. He said he would tell us more later on.
Apparently, the leaders of the Greek demigods, Roman demigods, and Egyptian "blood of the pharaoh's" have all agreed to come together in this dark time. That was a good thing-for everyone else except for me. I am so dead.
Thank you for reading! Please Review! :D
