"Who are they?"

"Oh, them? They're the Chosen Ones"

"The what?"

"The Chosen Ones. Every few hundred years, some of the Gods choose someone and give them an incredible amount of power"

"But isn't that unfair to the rest of their kids?"

"They don't always choose one of their kids. Like, those two over there, that's Lilith with Bowie, Hades and Persephone's Chosens. They aren't their kids, they're not even halfbloods"

"How d'you become a Chosen One?"

"You have to be picked, Percy. You have to be worthy. Like, sword in the stone kind of crap"

"What about him? Is he a Chosen One?"

"No. That's Professor Princeton. He trains The Chosen Ones"

"I thought Chiron trains us"

"He trains Demi-gods, Princeton trains The Chosens. He's a son of Ares and he studied The Chosen Ones his entire life in the hopes of being their professor"

"In the hopes of?"

"Well, yeah. The Gods don't want just anyone training their Chosens. Ares suggested him to the other Gods and they watched him, gave him solo missions and stuff before they agreed. He nearly lost his life in the trial run"

"Dam"

"I'd die for you, Mi Amore. You know that"

"You'd die for the others"

"Yes, I would. But I'd suffer for you, I'd take your pain and make it my own. I give you the power to hurt me, to crush my heart in your palms. But I beg you to love me instead, to hold my heart lovingly and ask you to give me yours in return"

"I already have. And now, I'm the one begging for you to treat it kindly"

"Forever. Until the day I die and even in the Underworld, I will yearn for you until we are reunited. However long it takes"

"Hi, I'm Percy"

"I know. I was your nurse. And you're friends with Bowie"

"Yeah, she and Grover are my best friends. Are you close with her?"

"We're sisters"

"I thought she wasn't a half blood"

"She's not. But The Chosen Ones, we're like a family. The others, they don't understand. They just think we're overpowered snobs. But we didn't ask for the power the Gods gave us"

"Grover said you had to be worthy or something to be Chosen"

"Yeah, but we don't know why we're worthy. Don't know what we did or do that made them pick us"

"You never asked them?"

"Would you be brave enough to ask a God why they do what they do?"

"Fair point. What's it like?"

"It's hard. The training alone could kill us. Ember is a perfectionist, she spreads herself too thin, tries to complete each lesson in a day. A few months ago, she collapsed during a sparing session with Aster. Her power exploded out of her, nearly killed both of them"

"Oh my god, are they okay?"

"Theyre okay now, but it was touch and go for a while. I was so scared"
