The rise of the falcon (ON HOLD)

Message (XI)

We all just sat there dumbfounded. What would Zeus want with us, let alone to come see us in person. Chiron was the first o break the silence;

"Zeus, to what do we owe the pleasure?" he asked, bowing. How is he so calm?

"Each of the Gods has lost something very special to them during the war. Someone stole them." he looked at us almost suspiciously, but not enough to worry "I am here to... request your help in finding these items..." he said reluctantly. Of course he didn't want to ask some half bloods to do something like this for him.

"Of course." Chiron responded.

"I know that recently you've been given a prophecy." he continued " According to Apollo, that is the prophecy you must follow for this quest. We need these things back before the summer solstice. You have 12 godly items to look for, don't waste time." with that and a clap of thunder he was gone.

We decided to leave in two days time. I'll miss this place.... It was late afternoon and we had just finished eating. In the stampede of people exiting the mess-hall supper Leo pulled me to the side, into a couple of bushes.

"What?" I asked him, there had to be a reason behind this. He leaned in. Was he going to kiss me?! I panicked. Luckily that was not the case, he whispered something in my ear; meet me under Thalia's pine during campfire...

"If you've forgotten, today is Friday. Capture the flag day." I informed him.

"Ohh... Right..." He said as this sunk in. "Then tomorrow night. Okay?" I nodded and was about to ask why but, before I could,he left.

(Wow, ummm.... Short chapters aren't really my cup of tea.... I will write a long chapter next time. This one is like 280 words long... Shortest one I've ever written. Sorry I haven't been writing in a while! My iPad died and what I did post was 1009 words in total over march break. I was planning on writing all week but nope, I don't know where all the time went. Hope you enjoyed this oddly short chapter! And the book as well. See you all later my little muffins!)
