Demigod (SLOW UPDATES)

(8) Elemental

The room is well lit and as expected , there is a wooden desk right in front of a window. Behind the desk stood a velvety red chair that looked extremely comfy. In front of it , however , stood two wooden chairs that probably provided neutral comfort.

The red chair swivelled and Renard was facing me. "Take a seat , Ienois."
I do as I told , plopping my butt on the wooden chair. "Normally, I'd ask you to call me Nona but seeing as your the head , I don't think being friendly is an option." Renard chuckled before smiling at me.

To be honest , I don't entirely feel safe around Renard. Although Artemis ensured my safety in this camp and even though he welcomed me with open arms , I can't say that he doesn't make me uncomfortable. His entire presence oozes authority and order. It's like he's a killer in a crowd , blending in until the perfect time to strike. Then again , I might just be too cautious.

"Shall we get to business Ms DeCaprio?" He raised a perfectly trimmed brow at me and I nodded , not wanting to spill any more gibberish from my mouth. I say a lot when I'm nervous. I am really nervous right now.

"My file says that you are a demigod , a half blood and that you were to arrive here yesterday escorted by Artemis , a relative of yours that nobody has seen before," He looked up at me in confirmation and I kept my face blank.

"She had sent nymphs to me as a messenger to warn me of your arrival. You are the daughter of a human and Apollo , the sun god. Now according to the mythical legends , Apollo is the sun god and his is the son of Zeus. As Debra may have told you , demigods may or may not possess the elemental powers from their parent."

Oh my nuggets , did he want to me to prove that I have the fire element? Because I sure as hell do not know how. Holy crap , I'm screwed. Maybe they'll kick me out for fraud.

"Do not panic Ienois , I will not ask demonstration of your powers yet."

"How did you—" He tapped the side of his head. "You'd be surprised at what the mind can do if you put enough effort." Okay , I have a legitimate reason to be scared of him. He's a psychic psychopath who's gonna murder me and bury me in the woods or even feed me to the wolves. Tell my momma I love her and Apollo that he's a d*ck.

"I would however , assign someone other than Hunter to train you for honing your Elemental abilities. Unfortunately, all our few skilled instructors are already assigned to the fifteen others at the camp with powers. "

He takes off his glasses which I obviously did not notice from my fear of this man and placed them on the table before his icy blue eyes stared into my dull brown ones , making me freeze and hold my breath.

"No one here has the ability to control fire except one. He is not a instructor but seeing as there is no other available , the task is his now." He sighed and looked up again , placing his hands in front for me to shake before giving me a heart stopping smile , revealing his pearly white teeth.

"Nice to meet you Ienois . I am your Fire Elemental instructor."

"What?" I gasp. Renard is looking straight into my eyes and his smile is unwavering. I gulp , knowing there is no way out of this and slowly nod my head before shaking his hand.

He cocked his head to the side and gave me a closed-lipped smile. "Thank you Ms DeCaprio. Lunch time is about to begin , you are dismissed."

I'm surprised by how sturdy my legs are when I walked out of the door and as soon as it closed behind me , I fell to my knees. Letting out a breath I unconsciously held , I got up again.
