Born Never To Break

FOUR

CONNOR -

Just great. Of all the most boring and hurtful thinfs I've had to do (that includes one of the pranks travis made me do once.. soo boring) this was the worst. I was just walking away from the aphrodite cabin after switching all their make up with my own deadly creation, when a camper came running towards me, and stopped next to me.

He started panting and trying to squeeze a few words in, but I stopped him and said, "Dude, breathe. Its not going to help if you hyperventilate like an estatic fangirl"(I still don't get where I got that reference from). (*wink* ;)) . "Where did you get that reference from?" He asked, still panting. Then he paused. "Doesn't matter. Chiron wants to see you immediately."

Chiron? Did he catch me already? I just finished a prank! Surely he wouldnt suspect anything now... I went to the big house anyway.

I went there and found Travis already standing near the entrance. "What did you get in troubke for?" I asked him. "I really don't know Connor, I haven't done anything, really." He replies back.

Even after so long, it surprises me how much Travis had changed. He looked the same, brown hair, dark brown eyes and that mischievous smile we both share, but his attitude had changed alot. He was more responsible and never really played any pranks. He was.. what do you call it... more grounded. I guess the giant war changed him alot. Sometimes it was nice, but mostly it meant I had to do all my pranks alone, which was just depressing.

Just as I was about to say something, Chiron came out near the doorway. "Good morning Travis, Connor." He said. " Mornin' Chiron" we say. "Well, you two better come in quick, I have some very important nwes to tell you." So we followed him inside.

We sat on the couches and faced a tensed - looking Chiron. "Well Stolls, first let me start by asking, are you two up for an adventure?" We looked at each other, and I thought, adventure? Cool! We may be going on our first official quest! I was going to say yes, when Travis said, "Depends on what the adventure is, Chiron." He nodded. "I was afraid you'd say that. So let me explain what you have yo do." He said.

"You know the new device we are using to track dangerous monsters?" We nodded. After the giant war, the number of monsters near camp's magical border is increasing. We assume that they are trying to get in, and sometimes some monsters wander around and harm the mortals. So a few kids from the Hephaestus cabin came up with a device totrack down these monsters, and a group of campers goand stop them from causing any damage. I don't know why Chiron would mention this to us.

"Well, we tracked a monster that is a bit far off from here, and very dangerous." Chiron continued. "I need you two to check it out and prevent that monster from harming anyone."

I was so excited. Our very first quest! I was just going to say yes, when Travis butted in. He seems to do that alot lately. "Why us Chiron? I mean, I'm honoured and everything, but aren't there better demigods for the job? You could send one of the seven, or even someone from the Ares cabin." He said.

If Chiron could look anymore depressed, he did. "Percy and Annabeth are in college, Frank and Hazel are in camp Jupiter, and Jason and Piper are still looking for Leo." He replied. "And besides, the place where the monster was found is more related to you two than anyone else. The monster is in your mother's home."
