Front Page: Wisdom Skewers A Professor
Sophia's POV (For the first time):
After training with Hermes, I saw Eugene pass out on the ground. I took the sword from his hand, and turned it into a tablet. On speed dial, I put Professor Cathy and called her. Of course she insisted on us calling her Captain, how immature.
"Hey-ah there, Agamemnon! How you doing?" Oh gods, this is Mycenaean silver. It must have been from Agamemnon, the Mycenaean king. "Captain," I tried to keep myself from sniggering, "it's me Sophia. We have problem. Eugene here pass out after training with Hermes. I can't carry him from this far to his dormitory. Plus you know I'd get in trouble without a guardian outside the campus boundaries."
After a while, she finally comprehended what I had said. There was music in the background so all I could here from her in reply was 'Fine' in a grudging tone. Adding to the list of our chaperone's NOT so strong suits, immaturity and intolerance.
Anyways, in half an hour of waiting for her Mister Sleepy-Head finally woke up before Cathy came. I rushed to his side and he put an arm around me.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a bit famished after all that magic." And that was all he said. It was weird for him to be like this, because usually he's the one who's so talkative. Or maybe... No it can't be. Demigods take a long time to have a vision unless it's really important. And it can't be because he just passed out because of to much magic usage. Okay, I'm thinking too much now. But if a god really sent a vision to Eugene, then which god? Maybe it was a goddess?
I shook out of my thoughts and went back to the real world. Taking Eugene to a bench I said, "Don't worry, Professor will be here any minute now. Oh, I think that's her coming at us." But when the figure came closer, I could hear the sound of hooves and thought Chiron. I thought about running to that big oak tree next to us, but if he saw that it would b suspicious and Eugene wasn't fast enough.
Instead I stood my ground and waited for what was about to come. Chiron saw us and said, "My dear, what in Olympus are you doing here?" I already thought was I was going to say.
"Professor Cathy sent us here to train but she went back to the campus to get something. " in my matter-of fact tone. "Right Eugene?" My tired uncle only nodded in response. But for Chiron believing me, he only held up a horsey eyebrow.
"Well as long as had a guardian, but in that case I'll stay here and wait until Cathy comes back." Whew, that was close. I prayed silently to the gods for our Captain to come here soon or I'll skewer her when she comes. Thank the Olympians that I saw her coming in our direction. I took the tablet in my hand and secretly texted her, "What took you so long?" From afar I saw her take her cellphone and look at the text. She grimaced and replied, "Out in Dionysus' party." Now I was definitely going to skewer her.
