Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ １！

The sounds of chattering was loud, and Todd wished that sometimes, just maybe they would be a bit quieter.

But hey, he was at camp after all, and demigods and quiet just did not belong in the same space.

There he was, heading over to the Hermes table, where he spotted his siblings, his full ones, seated at the table as he then moved to plop on down between the two sandy haired twins, "Hey kiddos," he spoke, ruffling their hair with his hands, "You sleep well?" he asked them.

The girl just giggled a bit before grinning at him, "Of course! Xander has been helping me go to sleep remember?" she asked him, her eyes beaming at his name. Todd smiled at her excitement as he hugged her close to him.

The boy, however, reached up to lift his hand off of his sandy locks, "Stop it Todd!" he protested, "We are not eight anymore!" he remarked, "But yes, I slept well. Did you know that Travis snores loudly in his sleep?" he remarked to him.

Todd rose an eyebrow at the mention of this, and he then said "Travis is around?" he asked the teenagers, and his brother nodded his head.

"Yeah, just for the weekend though." he remarked as he moved his hands to fix his hair that Todd oh so generously ruffled up. "Then he goes back to his hometown."

"What brings him around?" Todd asked them.

"Well," he rubbed the back of his neck, "We only know rumors... Something about uncovering an old prophecy?"

"Wait isn't that how the Romans have their prophecies?" 

"Well, yeah... This one though is definitely Greek though."

Todd pursed his lips as he then looked to his sister as he then said, "So, Ashley, what is this about Xander? Why has he been helping, weren't you nervous about talking to him?"

The teenage female smiled warmly as she then said "Well he noticed my symptoms and offered to help out with them." she told him, and Todd smiled, ruffling her hair again lovingly.

"Well, at least you have a reason to talk to him now." he remarked with a knowing smirk.

She blushed, but nodded, "Yeah... It is great to talk to him, he makes me feel so..." she struggled to find words.

"I get it Ash," Todd told her as he then moved to get some food on his plate to begin eat his own breakfast, "Let's not talk about your Xander..." he spoke as he picked up the apple from his plate to take a bite out of it.

"But Todd," began his brother, "If we don't talk about Xander, then whatever will we talk about?" he asked sarcastically.

He smiled, "Well Casper... I had that dream again." he pursed his lips as he looked at his apple for a moment before he took another bite from its cool, crispy golden exterior.

"The dream with the dark mist, or the dream of the mortal and Ancient Greek world's colliding?" Casper spoke.

"More like both, think I should talk to one of the Hypnos Cabin kids?" Todd replied as he then moved to finish the apple, his brother only nodding his head "Well I should get ready for capers then."

"Todd." came Chiron's voice, and the blonde male turned his head, putting his hands into his pockets.

Meekly, Todd walked over to the centaur, and he looked up to him, "Yes Chiron? Did I do something wrong?"

"On the contrary Mr. Elkborn, you can do something completely wonderful, but first do your capers then meet me in the Big House." he told the young male, and Todd swallowed a bit as he turned his body around to attend to his morning capers, which were washing the dishes with his younger siblings.
