Tempestuous Sea

To the gods they toast

For my mental health, I toast.

Luck is what I need.

"That's her..." Some camper said while pointing at her.

Rhea gave him a look, the poor boy's eyes widened and ran away in embarrassment, the girl shook her head.

She turned around to look at the attic's window and ... yep, the Oracle was watching her.

Oh yeah, nothing better than a corpse watching you. Rhea thought sarcastically.

PJO and RJO Apollo frowned. Hearing Rhea call his oracle a corpse reminded him of the oracle's condition before the Titan's War. He was the patron god for the little girl and he failed to protect her.

PJO and RJO Hades had a grimace on their faces. He did feel guilty for cursing the little girl. She was just doing her job, she didn't create the prophecy to make his life worse, she was just an instrument of The Fates just like he is, it was a little unfair of him to blame the little girl for the death of his lover, when he should be blaming Zeus.

"Corpse?" RJO Leo whispered, leaning towards RJO Jason and RJO Piper. They'd arrived at the camp when Rhea was missing and they couldn't learn a lot of things before they left for their quest. Even after they returned, everyone was so focused on getting Rhea back that they had failed to inform them about everything. After the Giants War, the campers had taken note of the fact that Rhea wasn't exactly able to train them because as soon as the Giants War was over, she had gone on a quest, so, the campers took it upon themselves to train them properly so that they wouldn't get killed.

As they got closer to their destination, Rhea realised how huge the forest was. It took up at least a quarter of the valley, with trees so tall and thick, you could imagine nobody had been in there since the Native Americans.

"The woods are stocked if you care to try your luck, but go armed," Chiron said after he noticed the look she gave the forest.

Rhea nodded. "Beautiful but deadly, got it."

They continued walking till they reached the cabins.

Rhea gave a look to Cabin Three before she continued to follow Chiron.

Imagine being a teacher for three thousand years, the pain of dealing with brats will be unbearable...

"Oh, look," Chiron said. "Annabeth is waiting for us."

The daughter of Athena was reading a book in front of the last cabin on the left, number eleven.

When they reached her, she looked at Rhea over critically, like she was still thinking about how much the daughter of Poseidon drooled.

Rhea tsk-ed.

"Annabeth," Chiron said, "I have a masters' archery class at noon. Would you take Rhea from here?"

"Yes, sir."

"Cabin eleven," Chiron told her, gesturing toward the doorway. "Make yourself at home."

The black-haired girl looked at the cabin with the caduceus symbol.

Do I have to...
