Orpheus threw a last glance at his father to make sure that he was really fine then looked down at the chapter which was next.

I Am Offered a Quest

Even thought she knew that it was coming looked Annabeth excited about the fact that she could finally prove herself on a quest.

The next morning, Chiron moved me to cabin three.

I didn't have to share with anybody. I had plenty of room for all my stuff: the Minotaur's horn, one set of spare clothes, and a toiletry bag. I got to sit at my own dinner table, pick all my own activities, call "lights out" whenever I felt like it, and not listen to anybody else.

"That sounds so great." Connor said, the idea of a cabin of his own really excited him.

"It is not always fun." Reyna said as she remembered how alone she would fell in her villa if it weren't for her two faithful dogs; she hoped that they were also taken care about.

"Agreed, it can get lonely if you are alone in a cabin." Luke said even thought his grandfather had told his dad last month that he might soon have also demigod siblings so he guessed that he would stay alone in Cabin Three in some time.

And I was absolutely miserable.

"See." come it from everyone who either had a cabin or villa of they own in they respective camps.

Just when I'd started to feel accepted, to feel I had a home in cabin eleven and I might be a normal kid—or as normal as you can be when you're a half-blood—I'd been separated out as if I had some rare disease.

"After a while one tends to ignore it." Hades said while keeping his arms securely around his wife who tried not to glare at those words, her husband was a nice person; he only showed it rarely because he didn't wish to be hurt.

"There is a saying that it is lonely on the top, I think." Henry said not sure, but he didn't care. "Basically, the more power you have the lonelier you are, mostly if you are a bad judge of character and can't separate those who are with you for they own gain and those to whom you really matter."

"That is true child, the wish for power and influence that they can do anything they wish is sadly a dangerous fatal flaw which can be easily manipulated." Chiron said before looking apologetically at the gods, but seeing that a great number of the council nodded he continued. "It is one of the most commonly inherited flaw of all children of Zeus." he finished while Jay, Perseus and Hercules looked over at they father, but he stared with an annoyed expression at the ceiling wile they half-brothers and sisters hung they heads, both gestures confirming the words of the old teacher.

"Also agreed, this is kind of why Ry here is my co-praetor, if I get to overconfident on a power rush brings he me crashing to earth, unfortunately sometimes also literally." he said with a small glare at his partner.

"Well, you were kind of under the trance from those emposai and didn't exactly listen to me so I needed to use drastic measures before you would do a permanent visit by us." Henry said while gesturing to both Enysswe and himself.

"By the way, how come they didn't enchant you?" Octavian asked surprising everyone that he sounded merely curious and nothing else, but they also wanted to know emposai could easily enchant men. Not that his helped to much the future parents of one of the two praetors.

"Easy, we stood over and old coal mine and there in the collapsed regions the walls gave free a number of crystals, when the emposai started they little enchantment I willed the crystals to start resonating as loud as possible so the sound blocked out the charm. The only problem with that trick is that it only is useful to my mom and me, so even if Nath would have been closer to me I could have not helped him with the resonation." Henry said with a small frown.
