CHAPTER NINE

The Poseidon Cabin

I, being the son of Poseidon and talking to fish it's really cool, but don't get the whole thing about its really awesome being a son of the big three, if they don't even want to show themselves to their children.

I said, to Sky ''Why can't gods see their kids? The shark told me there's a law preventing it, is that true?''

Sky replied ''It's true and it's just bloody unfair I never get to see my mom, well not in person and when she gave me this cool present I couldn't tell her how great it is and how I miss her.''

I said, ''I'm sorry for your mom.''

She said, ''its ok, my mom is Athena, so you know.''

I said, ''Cool, so she's goddess of battle strategy and knowledge?''

She said, ''yeah. Knowledge and battle strategy''

Carlos came trotting down the battle arena stairs, trying not to slip on the quartz.

Carlos said, ''That was so cool! I can't believe you are son of Poseidon; and so you know that means you are very powerful, like water powers and stuff.''

I said, ''We have powers?''

Sky said, ''Well not all of us have them.''

I said, ''Why not?''

Sky said, ''It only involves your gods' powers or domains over things; like Poseidon has powers over the ocean and its creatures he has a domain over all of them.''

I said, ''I still don't get why other demigods don't have powers''

Carlos said, ''Well not all of the gods have super powers, like Athena she only has knowledge, that's her power.''

I replied ''Oh, so Athena's kids are all really intelligent, and what do Poseidon's kids do?''

Chiron jumps in our conversation and says ''Well our last Poseidon half-blood did have many powers and as well as many friends and enemies.''

I asked ''When was the last time you had a Poseidon half-blood?''

Chiron smiled and said, ''The last Poseidon half-blood we had was 5 years ago and his name was Percy Jackson, he saved the world and the camp in more than one occasion. He is one of our modern heroes of today.''

Chiron continued ''Come I'll show you your new cabin and his room, he still keeps pictures there of his friends.''

I told Carlos and Sky to come with me to see the cabin. I didn't want to go alone to this cabin. On the way there Chiron started saying stuff about a kid called Percy Jackson and how he saved the camp in more than one occasion and the fate of the world was in his hands against Kronos and Gaia.

We reached the cabin but we all stood outside.

Chiron said, ''Well this is it, the Poseidon cabin. You may find some stuff that belongs to Percy''

I stood outside the door of this small cabin with water fountains, just outside the entrance; the cabin paint looked like light blue, the door was dark blue I just thought it might resemble the deep parts of the ocean. Opening the door, the smell of ocean breeze was flying out. The breeze was just relaxing, I felt like this might be a great place to take a nap and live here the whole summer in this comforting cabin.

But I felt this sensation, the sensation of loneliness. I looked around the cabin but it was empty from people, and the only things remaining was a horn on a wall next to a bed, some photos of kids and a satyr, a small water tank no fish inside, two beds, and a small mirror.

Sky entered the room and Carlos came behind her. Chiron stayed outside with his arms crossed and a small smile across his face.

Chiron said, ''You remind me of him''

I found a photo and 4 people were in it, one was Percy just as Chiron has described, a satyr with his growing horns, a nice girl with blonde hair, and a Cyclops. But this Cyclops looked different from the one I took down; he was smiling and had a friendly look.

Chiron continued ''He was one of the best I have ever trained.''

I looked at the picture; they all looked like best friends. Sky and Carlos came to my side and took a look at the picture and looked at me.

Carlos said, ''You ok?''.

I said slowly, ''yeah I'm ok''.

Sky said, ''Who are the other people in this picture?''

Chiron said pointing the people, ''This is Percy is in the left corner, Annabeth Chase to his right, Grover Underwood to her right and Percy's half-brother Tyson. Tyson is half god, half sea nymph, but he is a Cyclops. Just not as vicious and dangerous as the one you encountered.''

I still was staring at the photo thinking of what my life would have been if I knew I had two brothers. All the fun we could all have together.

Chiron said, ''I'll let you kids to it; I got to and check on the Apollo campers' sing along last minute practice. Hopefully none of them will try to do anything absurd and remember the Hephaestus cabin wants to get a rating on how great and fine the battle arena demo was.''

I said, ''Well the machine does need a little change on the lava pit and change it into a feather pillow pit''

Sky and Carlos burst out laughing and Chiron went away.
