Bra was glad the spinning had stopped, but now she didn't know where she was. Suddenly, a scene transitioned in front of her. As the picture became clear, she could see a dark themed- throne room. Two people were talking. Thankfully, they didn't notice Bra just yet. She decided to get closer and find out what they were talking about. She hid behind a pillar and listened carefully. Now settled, she could hear a bit of the conversation.
" ….., So, is the trap set for our prisoners?"
" yesssss, Madame. Any day now, those clueless demigods will head north in search of Aeolus's palace. Then, they will fall right into our hands." " Good, I will not tolerate failure like those worthless storm spirits." The other voice spoke, having a raspy tone.
Then, the two started cackling. Bra had a feeling she wasn't supposed to hear this. Demigods? Storm spirits? What the hell were they talking about?. Bra couldn't make sense of anything. Just then, one of the two turned in Bra's direction. " Madame, it seems we have an visitor." The silhouette approached closer and Bra held her breath. Then, out of nowhere the scene turned fuzzy, then black. She felt like she was falling, falling….
Bra sat up with a gasp. She opened her eyes and looked around. She was in a large room that looked like an infirmary of some sorts. Cots lined up each side of the room, and medicinal items and objects were on the tables. She glanced at the small table next to her cot. She saw a small storage bag/ packet that was full of smashed pastry squares like lemon bars. Next to it was a glass of liquid that Bra thought looked like orange juice, but smelled sweeter than it.
She looked down at her body , and noticed that aside from a couple of band aids and patches, she was fine. Just then, the door swung open, and a girl with blond hair walked in. Behind her was a middle aged- looking man in a wheelchair. Bra looked up and immediately became on edge.
" Good, you're awake. It's only been a few hours, but I suppose the ambrosia and nectar did their job, " The wheelchair guy said. ' so that's what those things on my bed stand are. Did I actually eat that thing to heal?' Bra wondered. She'd thought that it was her Saiyan DNA that allowed her to recover quickly, as it had worked on many occasions. It was different from the Senzu Beans that her father and his friends took.
" Also, this is Annabeth. She's the one that discovered you and had you brought here." He said, gesturing to the blonde girl next to him.
" Can you understand us?" The blonde- er, Annabeth, said.
Bra nodded. " Can you tell us how you got here, if you remember?"
Bra made a conscious effort to speak, but found that her throat was dry.
" Annabeth, give her some water" The man said quickly. " Oh! Right". Annabeth said, and handed Bra a glass of water.
She drank quickly, and put the glass on the table. " Now, back to the matter at hand, do you know how you got here?"
" I don't really know." Bra finally spoke, though her voice was quiet and kind of hoarse.
" To start off, what's your name, child?" the man said.
Ignoring the child remark, She answered. " It's Bulla." She decided to go by her English name, and not her Japanese one because she'd gotten picked on for being named after an undergarment, just like the rest of her family. She often went by Bura or Bulla at school. To her friends and family, she was just Bra.
" Well, Bulla (She could tell the man was trying out her name on his tongue), My name is Chiron, and I'd like to ask a few questions, if you don't mind."
The way this man spoke, as if he thought she was stupid. " Alright then" Bra replied.
" Okay. How about what Annabeth asked earlier?" ( Bra noticed that the girl was cleaning her cot, leaving the man to talk to Bra without her being pressured.)
" I remember walking around my favorite spot away from my house, then a swirling black hole-vortex thing showed up in the sky, and I got caught in it. Then everything went black, and here I am." She left out the parts about that weird dream, and the conversation that had transpired in it. She also left out minor details, like what she was doing, and her flying abilities.
" Ah, I see" the Chiron guy said. She could tell he was expecting more, but he didn't say anything.
" Chiron, I think that's enough questions for now. She still might be shaken after all that's happened." Annabeth cut in.
" Of course. Now then, with that out of the way, how would you like a tour of the campgrounds?"
