Chapter 6; Uh Oops?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Raven slowly awakened, dazed a bit from sleep, yawning she sat up. Rubbing her hands over her eyes tiredly. She peered around the room confused by the nice and clean room before realizing and remembering where and what timeline she was. "Oh..so it was not a dream as it would seem.." she mumbled not sure what to feel, carefully she got out of bed and quickly remade it.

Peering over at the mirror she blushed at the sight of her bed head. Spotting a hairbrush on the side table, Raven carefully brushed through her long straight black hair, braiding it down over her shoulder she took a odd elastic band and tied it in her hair. Smiling at her reflection, Raven walked to the closed door and peeked outside of it into the hall. She saw no one and walked out, looking around in curiosity she walked down the stairs, intrigued by so much Greek mythological relationed artifacts.

Deciding it was not a good idea to touch any of these things, she continued to search for someone, anyone. But preferably Mr. Chiron. "Mr. Chiron?" She called out after a long time of silence and loneliness. Finally she walked down to find a front room there sat at a table was a man, short, with a red face, black hair with the shade of purple. He was on the plump side, and looked sulky. Raven peered up at him, walking forward. "E-excuse me sir?" Raven called out hesitant to interrupt his peace.

Almost startled the man turned to face her, looking shocked before his face melted to annoyance. "Yes yes what is it now?" He asked sharply. Raven flinched and looked down timidly. When she looked away Dionysus's eyes softened but then hardened once more. "Come on child I don't have all day. What is it you need?" Raven looked back up at him, "I'm somewhat lost as to where I am exactly sir. And well I was wondering if you perhaps know where Mr. Chiron is? Please mister..?" She inquired politely.

Dionysus snorted, amused and set his pinochle cards down. "Finally one that has manners. The old horse is just outside but will be back quite soon." He said and looked at her before looking away. "And it's Mr. D, and you are?" Raven beamed up at Mr. D and climbed up one of the chairs to sit. "I'm Raven Quinnley, tis- I mean it is very nice to meet you." She chirped happily, her vibrant royal blue eyes almost seemed to glow and glimmer in happiness. Dionysus set his cards down again and gave her a long look, almost as if seeing something else before closing his eyes and sighing. "Yes yes, now don't interrupt me again Ranee." Raven blinked almost confused. Did she not just tell his her name not even a moment ago?

Nevertheless she let it go and decided to stay silent. Not long after Chiron came in without his wheelchair. Looking up her face contorted into confusion and disbelief seeing that his legs were...the body of a white stallion?...

In a matter of seconds Raven contorted through so any facial expressions before settling on fainting. "Oh my.." Chiron said startled seeing her there and walked to her, picking her from the floor. He turned to look at Dionysus who shrugged shuffling through cards. "This is all on you Chiron. I did nothing." He stated simply. Chiron's eyebrow furrowed, "Well then...it seems that one plan is scrapped." He said casually. Dionysus snorted, mumbled "You think?"

A half hour passed before Raven stirred and awakened. "W-what happened?" She questioned holding her head gingerly. She was still downstairs and at the table with Mr. D and now Mr. Chiron was here as well. "Well my dear, I'm afraid I gave you a bit of a freight and a shock when you spotted my legs." Chiron explained bluntly.

"Y-your legs?" She questioned before her eyes widened and looked down, and indeed, he held the main body and legs of a horse, his human half ending where it would be a horse's neck connecting to the body. "H-how..?" She stuttered and looked up at Chiron confused and bewildered what truly was going on.

Chiron lent forward slightly, peering down at the confused child. "Tell me young one, what do you know of Greek mythology?" she blinked bewildered. "G-greek mythology?.." She stuttered out. Mr.D snorted out a laugh. "Oh this will be a show." He said setting his cards down and turned to watch as if this was a dramatic theater play.
