(Note: this is after the change happens. Maybe I'll write a scene of what happened if you guys want me to... Well, I hope you notice the difference in the... Voice, I guess. Enjoy!)
"Carytus?" Percy stepped into the corner of my vision and I backed away slowly. When he realized that it was me, he flushed red. "S-sorry. I thought you where the missing camper." he muttered.
I turned to him calmly and murmured," and what made you think I am this Carytus figure?"
"Well, you have the same nose... And eyes... And the same brooding expression...and... You could pretty much pass as twins if it weren't for your, erm, horse half..."
I allow the ghost of a smile to touch my face. "What was he like? The missing boy?" I ask after a short pause.
Percy hesitates and eventually answers,
"He reminded me a lot of Chiron, you know? He seemed like a kind of person who had seen and experienced stuff impossible to imagine." he trails off, then suddenly exclaims, "it was my fault, you know, him being blind."
I look down at him and place a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure he wouldn't blame you," I reassure him.
Just then, Chiron steps forwards and I tense up when I see Percy's astonished face when he sees us next to each other. Our faces almost mirror each-others, although once, a child of Aphrodite told me I looked like Orlando Bloom, the resemblance to my father is a little greater. The only thing different is my black horse half, and my eyes. When I was younger, Apollo used to joke that I stole his eyes when he was halfway through a prophecy, and gave him mine, even though no one had seen Apollo give a prophecy. Yet.
