Austin's P.O.V.-

Austin winced at Laurels curses, he could hear her from the climbing wall. He looked over his shoulder to see the Hermes cabin at Archery. Laurel was sitting by Chiron, trying to extract an arrow from his side. Her cabin mates were whispering, and Luke was standing over her worriedly, they probably all thought Chiron was on his deathbed.

Everyone had avoided talking about Chiron, when ever he tried to ask they would look down or divert the subject, but he knew something was wrong. The trainer was always coughing and was constantly doubling over in pain. The arrow could be the last straw…

"Austin!" Kayla yelled from the top of the climbing wall, "If you don't move soon you'll get burned" Austin twisted back around and tilted his head to look up. Lava was pouring down the wall and his sister was looking amusedly down at him from the top.

He groaned outwardly, flipping back and forth and moving his arms and legs as fast as he could, he managed to avoid a large vein of magma and gain a few feet. But by the time he reached the top, his shirt was smoking and half of his pants leg was gone.

Gazing down, he saw the Hermes cabin and other campers carrying Chiron to the infirmary. Austin looked back at his twin who was looking curiously at the woods, supposedly filled with monsters.
