Jeyna: A History

Reyna

As she said before Reyna wasn't a big fan of this camp but the interrogation just solidified he feelings. Telemachus had ordered the boy, Jason, out of the room. Why she didn't know but she figured this wasn't routine. When the door had closed behind Jason Telemachus sighed and turned to face Reyna. "You know, I've never been a big fan of liars." he snapped his finders and the metal dogs positioned next to him strung to live. The one on her right gold and the one on her left silver. She found it particularly hard to concentrate with the ruby eyes of the dogs staring at her. Eventually she said "I don't know what you mean." Telemachus looked at the dogs who gave him a snarl. The seemed to be communicating but she didn't understand how. "My dogs, Aurum and Argentum." he said pointing at the dogs one at a time. "Gold and Silver." Reyna said translating the Latin. "Yes, Silver and Gold. You see they're a lot like me they aren't fond of liars either." Reyna wasn't so confused anymore just insulted. "Are you calling me a liar?" She said leaning forward. Telemachus was not fazed by this sudden advance. "Reyna there were parts of your story that confused me, Not just confused me but didn't quite... fit. I am going to ask you a little bit about your tale and I advise you not to lie." he looked up for a sign of understanding but Reyna was content just glaring at him. He sighed again. "You said you knew your mother, but lived with your father. Most demigods don't know who their godly parent is before they are claimed at camp. Most don't have access to this information but you did. this leads me to believe you are a Legacy rather than a demigod. From here-" Reyna interrupted him. "Your wrong. I am a demigod. I know who my mother is. I also know that it is uncommon for the godly parent to have contact with the children, but my situation was different." Telemachus looked stunned he was obviously not used to being told he was wrong, however despite this sudden shift in power he continued "Alright, You said you had a mistress in the island one who could keep pirates captive. Who was this woman?" Reyna didn't like diving into her past at the spa but she had a feeling that he was expecting and answer and that the dogs really didn't like liars. "Circe." Telemachus looked up at her and his mouth dropped open. "I was expecting someone... different. A minor god or something... not... Circe." she figured this earned he some points on the "getting-the-praetor-to-like-me" front, but what ever questions he had left he somehow forgot them. He stood and Reyna figured she better do the same. "You are to go to the temple of Jupiter and meet our Augur. He will tell you weather the gods prohibit you to stay or if you are to leave. Jason is waiting outside he will lead you." she took one last glance around the room and turned to exit. She had only just grabbed the door when Telemachus said "You know who your mother is don't you?" She paused at first then turned to meet the praetors eyes. "I believe we both do. Don't we? " she opened the door and reentered the glistening city.
