Elle: *watching Athena nervously*

Athena: *glances at her* Elle? Do you need anything?

Elle: *shakes her head*

Athena: You've been following me around the whole day with a funny look on your face. What's going on?

Elle: *mumbles something under her breath*

Athena: *sighs* Spit it out.

Elle: travellerreading wants you to burn all your books.

Athena: *pinches the bridge of her nose and points to the door* Get out.

*later*

Olympians: *panicking around the place*

Artemis: WHAT THE HELL?

Zeus: THE FIRE STARTED ON THE EAST WING!

Hephaestus: FOR THE LAST TIME, I DIDN'T START THE FIRE THIS TIME!

Aphrodite: MY MAKEUP! AND I JUST GOT MY CLOSET REMODELED!

Hera: CAN SOMEONE CALL POSEIDON?

Hermes: *looks around frantically before spotting Athena watching the fire from the gardens* Ena! I'm so glad you're okay!

Athena: I'm far from okay.

Hermes: Did you get hurt? Where? I was worried sick when I found out the fire broke out from your side of the building. I don't know how that even happened -

Elle: *rushes up to them* Mom! The dare was to burn books, not a whole ass building down!

Hermes: *looks at Athena and Elle in disbelief*

Athena: Where do you think the fire came from? Half of the east wing is my library. And then there was my room, of course. Oh, let's not forget my books in Hermes' room.

Hermes: She kept bringing more and more books everytime she slept over - hold on. You burned my room too?

Athena: I burned my books in your room.

Hermes: *glances at the burning palace* Wow, that makes it so much better, Ena.

Athena: *rolls her eyes*

Hermes: Wait, so the dare was to burn all your books?

Athena: Unfortunately. *shoots Elle a glare*

Elle: Don't look at me! I didn't write that dare, mother!

Hermes: So what happened to your kids at camp?

Athena: What do you mean?

Hermes: Oh, I just thought it was likely that they might have a hold of some of your books too.

Athena: Oh, I forgot about those. *snaps her fingers*

Hermes: *grimaces*

Elle: *shakes her head at Hermes*

*meanwhile at Camp Half-Blood*

Athena campers: *scream and run out of their cabin as soon as some books magically burst into flames*
