Hey Guys and Gals or whatever, I wanna ask you something, should I write longer Chapters or Shorter Chapters, if they're longer it will take longer to post them, if they're shorter I can get them out quicker. Shorter= 1,250-1,750 Words, Longer= 2,500-3,500

Bing!

You have slept in a bed! HP and MP have been restored and all Ailments have been cured!

When I finally came to I sat up groggily, I was laying in a hospital bed. When I swung my feet over the side I nearly fell, though luckily I was caught. When I looked up at who caught me I noticed it was Grover. "Thanks, G-Man," I thanked him as he helped me limp towards the door. Even though my Ailments were cured it seemed that some side-effects came with it.

When we got outside I shielded my face from the sun and leaned on the railing. I wanted so bad to go out and find Luke, but I knew that would be a suicide mission. Hearing someone approaching us and talking I saw Annabeth and Chiron walking towards us. 

"Percy, are you alright?" Chiron asked me, "Never felt better." I continued to lean against the railing as I looked out towards the strawberry fields. "I can't believe Luke would do something like this," Annabeth said while looking at the ground. Chiron put his hand on her shoulder, "None of us could have expected Luke to do this." I felt out of place, as though I was intruding in on this private conversation.

Though I felt sad for Annabeth, her friend she knew for her whole life just betrayed her. I said my goodbyes and headed back towards my cabin, excusing myself for still being exhausted. Though it was for something else, when I got in I locked the door and opened my inventory, hoping to see something I could use. I pulled out something I got from the training session from the hell hounds, the Stealth Sub-Skills book.

The skills all seemed useful in their own situations. Though Shadow bending seemed a lot better than Invisibility so I chose Shadow Bending as my first one and then I thought that something like Shadow Travel could be insanely useful for getting places. So after I pressed both of them the blue mist appeared and I got the regular message.
