Alex heard the roar of footfalls, like a stampede, all at once that several people burst into the cabin brandishing swords and spears. They all looked dumbfounded when they saw Him standing in the middle of the room dumbfounded, holding a new spear and shield that they had never seen before. 

"Where is He!" They demanded. 

"Where is who?" Alex responded in a daze. 

"Don't play coy, Ares! Where is He!" One of them demanded.

Realization dawned on Alex, but he didn't let it show. 

"I have no idea what you are talking about, I found these on my bed while I was unpacking, and I was trying them out when you burst in yelling and demanding to see my dad that I have never seen." Alex replied with a slight venom to his words. 

The group didn't want to believe him. Their gaze constantly swept the small room. 

"We are gonna have to take those for inspection...." One of the bigger one's called. 

"I don't know what you'll find, it's just a spear and shield." Alex added handing them over reluctantly.

Just then a voice called from outside.

"That won't be necessary boys!" 

The boys looked crestfallen. They all started  to file out of the cabin casting backwards glances at Alex.

"You need to come out here too Alex." The voice added.

Alex reluctantly walked out after the crowd. The owner of the voice was a centaur. Alex's jaw dropped. The centaur's lower half was appaloosa, and his upper half was muscular, he had black hair, on both halves, and his eyes were a golden brown. 

"Close your mouth you'll catch flies boy" He said smiling. 

Alex quickly closed and opened his mouth several times, finally closing it.
