Sitting on the porch of the Big House drinking diet coke, Chiron sighed out of relief. Staring out onto the horizon where some of Apollo's light was still visible, he thought back to all the millennia he stared at the exact same scene from so many different spots. He could only hope that this period of peace would last at least until the flame of the hearth moved again. Just as Chiron was sitting to ready himself to sleep, he was interrupted by a creak. Mr. D was summoned to Olympus, which is why he was so quick to rise.
He turned to see Rachel in her, what the campers called, "Oracle mode". Though he was surprised to here a strong male voice boom from her mouth, "Chiron, we must talk!" Chiron sighed, "Zeus please, just send a letter by Hermes next time would you?" Chiron grumbled. Chiron could hear thunder growl in reply. "Forgive me. Times have not been easy on me my brother." Chiron said rubbing his forehead. The thunder began to sub-side, "You're right. Forgive me, for my selfishness, but this matter is very important!" Zeus replied in a calm yet demanding voice. Chiron cleared his throat, "Of course, if there is no prophecy then it must be, especially if you decided to contact me in… more personal forms."
Zeus began. "Have you been hearing about the threats Olympus has been receiving?" "Indeed." Chiron replied. "Are you planning to respond?" Chiron asked. Zeus grumbled and thunder could again be heard. "I must they've…" Chiron could hear irritation in Zeus' voice. "They targeted Camp Jupiter." Chiron grew wide-eyed and he grinded his teeth. "They attacked Camp Jupiter?!" Chiron shouted in frustration and surprise. "There's no way we could have not noticed-" "No there was no assault or battle." Zeus said calmly cutting Chiron off. Chiron let pressure off his brow and stopped grinding his teeth. "Jason has reported demigods going missing though," Zeus continued. "Only thirteen of them, all between twelve and sixteen and all well known warriors." Chiron began stroking his beard. "Do you think they're looking for recruits?" Chiron suggested. Zeus grumbled again, "Athena believes the same." He confirmed. "But you believe something different." Chiron hinted. "Well I did. I just assumed that they were just trying to weaken forces, or hold hostages." Zeus admitted.
"Well now that we're sure what they want, it's only a matter of who they are," Chiron stated. "I assume you want us to find that out Lord Zeus?" Chiron asked. "Indeed," Zeus confirmed. "But there's another matter I wish you to attend to as well." Chiron crossed his arms, "Does this have to do with a certain daughter of yours?" Chiron teased. Zeus chuckled a little, "No, but it does have to do with a few of my grandchildren and a nephew." Chiron grew wide-eyed now understanding, "But… what if the other Olympians should find out?" "The way that boy is, I'm surprised he hasn't been found out already." Zeus said jokingly. "But why must he come here?" Chiron asked as if he was extremely reluctant and nervous. "To balance things out." Zeus replied, "If you got one there, one in the open world, and one here, that would balance things out." Chiron sighed, "May I ask about these others?" Zeus' voice began to fade, "I'll leave that to you." Rachel's eyes returned to normal and she fell. Chiron picked her up and put her on his back and proceeded to carry her upstairs. When he laid her down he continued to think about what he would do about the newcomers. "That boy…"
At the same time a few miles away a boy was rolling on the on the ground with his head in his hands after falling out of bed. "God… fucking… dammit…"
Maybe I should add a disclaimer. I DO NOT OWN THE PJO OR THE HoO SERIES! But ladies and gentlemen, we have dived into an adventure. I will try my best to update weekly, and I've already started on the first chapter. I hope you all have a great day!
