Daniel is looking at his Arm and twisting it all around the place as we walk to the archery fields "It's healed" I state "Thanks I really needed you to tell me that!" "Well, you're looking at it like you've never seen it before" "I'm just surprised it healed so quickly" "Blessing of Apollo" "Oh right" I turn and smile at the goofy face he's pulled, I poke my tongue out at him and he grabs my hand. I almost immediately start to feel more relaxed "Where are you taking me?" I ask "We have archery now" I say after a moments silence "Something in my head is telling me to go to Chiron" he states"Chiron? A voice in your head is telling you to go to Chiron?!" "Actually it's telling us to go to Chiron" "Wait, what? Really?" "Yeah, come on let's go, it's telling me to get there quickly!" He replies.

"I knew something was going to happen today!" "I sprained my wrist about an hour
ago!" "But now it's fine!" "And we got together!" "Okay fine, you win" I smile, I was still really ecstatic about that. "C'mon I can see 'M.H.Q.' I'll race you!" ('M.H.Q.' Stands for 'Miscellaneous Headquarters' and it's where gods, goddesses, instructors and guests stay). "The last time I ran I sprained my wrist" "Oh shut up, it's not like just because you sprained your wrist your never going to run again and plus you know I'll win!" "Yeah right!" And with that the son of Hades takes off and I start sprinting after him.

"I win" I exclaim, Dan is next to me with his hands on his Knees heaving and puffing,
"Yeah, you win" and with that, we walk inside to where Chiron's office/apartment is. Once we reach the Centaur's (head and torso of a human and the lower body of a horse) room and Daniel knocks on door, Cato comes running down the hallway and skids to a stop just as he reaches us "You heard it too?" He asks me "I didn't, he did" I reply pointing to Dan. I now feel left out, I'm the only one not hearing things, then I remind myself that it could mean I am the only sane one, the door opens and there stands Chiron the Centaur, son of Kronos, the Titan of time, agriculture and was king of the Titans until his son Zeus, king of the Olympians cut him to pieces with his own scythe like Kronos did to his own father, Ouranus. "Hello Daniel, Cato and Mia, what do you require me for?" "Well, Cato and I are hearing voices in our heads to ask you to see the Oracle, and the voice in my head told me to bring Mia along because she's involved" "Very well, but Mia cannot go" "Uh, excuse me for asking this but, why can't I go?" "Because you're only 14 years of age" "Since when is there an age limit and the prophecy could involve me!" I exclaim, "You're also not claimed therefore you have absolutely no idea of your abilities and you will have to rely only on what you've learnt" "That isn't my fault and I've learnt a lot" "She's really good at swordplay and can fight with almost any weapon!" Cato says and I'm grateful for him standing up for me, Chiron thinks for a minute "Fine, you may go but if the prophecy doesn't hint that it involves you then you cannot go on the quest" he says finally "Okay!" I say excitedly and Dan, Cato and I run down the hallway towards the exit.
