CHAPTER 13
A/N: Okay. I'm done. Call me whatever you want, idfc. If you like this fic, read. If not, GO AWAY! Don't stick around to post hate about this story. If you do, I'm not responding. Anyways, to my LOYAL fans, sorry for the late update, again. Parcc testing is horrible. You're lucky if you don't have it.
*Recap*
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I whispered. The dark hooded figure took off their hood, and shined a light so I could see their face clearly. I looked at him, confused.
"You don't remember me? I thought you were 15. I was a trainer at your camp," The guy said.
"Um, technically I'm 3. I am 14 years old, though, And, I'm a quarter god. AND, what's your name?" I asked.
"3? Oh gods, did Chaos bless you? Oh, and my name is Quintus."
*End of Recap*
"Quintus? Okay, does that stand for something?"I asked.
Quintus shrugged. "It's just my 'cover-up' name. My real name is Daedalus."
"Really? Cool. Wait. Aren't you that guy who runs the labyrinth?" I asked.
"Yea, well, I'm supposed to be dead. But, Mrs. O'leary sacrificed herself for me," Quintus/Daedalus said, sadly.
"Oh, and, um, what should I call you?"
"You can call me Quintus. Actually, no. Call me… Maddox. I don't want anyone to know I'm here just yet," Maddox said.
"Why not? Why did you come here in the first place?" I asked.
Maddox scratched his head uneasily, deciding if he wanted to trust me or not. "Another war is heading your way. I mean, an army. And a skilled fighter is leading it. They won't be here for another 3 weeks, but if Camp Half-Blood doesn't get some serious help, they're doomed. So I was planning to be the camp's new trainer so I could help train them to be ready for the war."
"Really? I know who's in the war. Gaia, Kronos, and Uranus are working together," I said, rather quickly.
Maddox nodded his head. "I had my suspicions. Let me guess, dreams?"
"Yup," I said. We stood there for an akward 4 seconds until I said, "Why did you tell me, and not, someone, like, Percy?"
"Because. He would've recognized me right away. And have told Annabeth. I don't want anyone to know yet. Because if I, we, tell them, they'll either not believe us, or start preparing for war. If they all know, Kronos will sense them and pull back for another couple 20 years. So the best way to prepare them is to train them without knowing what their training for," Maddox said.
"Allright. So, can I go now? I'm kinda tired," I said, sleepily.
"Didn't you just sleep for like, 4 hours? Whatever. Oh, and one more thing. Don't tell anyone that I'm here. I'll be at Camp at 6 AM, so in like 7 hours. I'll tell Chiron that I'm here to train you guys, and you'll start tomorrow. Okay?" Maddox said.
"Okay," I said through yawns, and trudged back to my cabin.
But little did I know about the group of people in purple hooded capes on, watching me.
A/N: Sorry if it's a bit short, and sorry/not/sorry for the cliff hanger!
