Jason Grace and the Lightning thief

Chapter 4- I am hemoglobin deficient

GODS ARE HERE. After the lunch, I and Mark went to the temple hill. Mark there showed me the various temples dedicated to the various gods.

Mark said "Let's begin. You see gods are not a myth, they very much exist in the modern world."

I said "So who's my father?"

Mark said "I don't know and there's only one way to find out, when a specific god's symbol appears over your head. This is the way gods claims their children. This can take from a few seconds to a few years."

Hearing it I tried to glance upward and for a moment I thought that there was something. At least I wasn't wrong there was sun.

I said "Who's your father?

Mark said "Apollo, the god of archery, medicine, music, prophecy, sun and much more things that I don't remember."

I said "How much time did it take for you to be claimed?"

Mark said with a sigh "Two years."

I felt that it was unfair and wondered that why the gods wouldn't claim their own kids. And only one reason came to me that- they don't care.

I said "How many temples are here?"

Mark said "Many. For all the Olympians- the big three, Apollo, Mars, Diana, Bacchus, Ceres, Minerva, Venus, Vulcan, Mercury and Juno the Queen of gods."

He then showed me Jupiter's temple. It was the biggest and the most majestic temple and I don't know why but I felt personally attached to it. It also had a big statue of Jupiter himself.

We later went to the fifth cohort where Mark gave me a bunk and a new pair of clothes and told me to have a bath. I will have to tell you that the bath was awesome, roman style everybody says though I don't know what that really means. After the bath I had dinner and went to sleep. And lived happily ever after? NAH.

So much for the first day.
