The Time-turner Chronicles

|3| Chapter 25 : The chariot race

I just finished the throne of fire, and I decided that I would make the next crossover a bit more shorter. Also I just started with the Demigod diaries which I haven't read since it was not published in my country. Maybe they'll be useful, maybe not. However here's the next chapter!

***

Nyx made my life at camp...challenging.

After the incident at the Dinner Pavilion Dionysus had decided it was not safe to let Nyx roam around free which I agreed on. However because I took her to camp Dionysus decided I had to look after her, preventing her from destroying stu!. killing campers and so on. Nyx had no problems with the fact she was stuck to me.

Me however, it made my day at camp certainly more interesting. Since Tantalus released all the campers from their regular activities in preparation of the chariot race Nyx and I had a lot of free time to kill before we would sneak away with Tyson. Nyx had already claimed me as her teammate for the chariot race. I decided I would drive and Nyx would fight o! the other teams for the safety of everyone. But since Nyx already had a chariot which she would conceal in mist. Besides that there was not much for us to do. So Nyx hung around at camp with me which was a constant quest for me. Nyx's moral compass was broken. She had no problem with killing and torturing nor did she care much about what she said.

For some reason she disliked random campers and liked others. She disliked Clarisse and Annabeth. Sometimes she would shadow travel behind them and made her whip strike the ground behind them, startling them.

No one really knew why Nyx hated Annabeth but they all grew used to it. When Annabeth was gone for a day people were already looking at Nyx with shock in their eyes.

When Annabeth came back from the library in Manhattan, she was surprised to see her cabin had started planning her funeral.

She liked Connor but disliked Travis which was strange to say the least since they were almost identical. Well, you get the idea. She was completely random with her friendships.

In fact the strangest thing was the fact that Dionysus seemed to like Nyx. He always said Nyx instead of some kind of variation of her name. Even though he never showed his likings openly toward Nyx he always turned a blind eye towards her antics.

That was bad news for Tantalus who was basically bullied by Nyx. She would always shadow traveled away when I wasn't looking and pushed him from behind against walls, into the lake or just threw him into sharp objects. (Read swords they are literally everywhere at camp) and then shadow traveled away. All the surrounding campers would swear they had no idea what happened.

Campers were rumoring behind our back about our strange relationship. They wondered why Nyx seemed eerily close to me and why we knew each other so well. I couldn't really tell them she was in my head for the last year so I kept it vague which led to more rumors. The Aphrodite campers thought we were in love, but Nyx naturally was totally oblivious to these rumors.

Nyx fought with two daggers and a whip, she tried to combine fighting with a whip and a dagger at the same time but that did not work out. Her combat skills were better than most campers but some of them could still beat her. Luckily I was also still better than her in a fight. Unless she would use her Shadow Travel during the fight which was unfair to say the least.

With the hearth quenched I could no longer use my fire powers. My water powers su!ered as well. Pouring water from the air made me feel tired as hell and bending it was also way di"cult for me. For some reason I had no problem summoning FrostSilver which made me sigh in relief. I was getting used to the ice sword and I was not looking forward to traveling the sea of monsters without it.
