The next generation...[ON-HOLD]

The past

" Hey Chiron" Sammy said. Chiron nodded his head and went to us. " I believe you are here for a reason? Not because you want to see your families?". I was actually surprised about how he knew but I guess he knows that because he seen heroes come and go for a few hundred years now. Cervello steps out, " We were trying to figure out the prophecy". They had this little staring contest and finally Chiron said," I see, let's go and sit down". We sat down and before we could say anything, Chiron put a hand up. " I know what you want. You want to know why the Greeks and Romans are in war?". We all nodded our heads. He nods his head and started telling the story," It all started 24 years ago," he started. We were all at the edge of our seats just to hear this story.

" It was a year after the Giant War and all was well. But nothing lasts that long. After a while, we found out that there were more monster attacks than usual. Then, we found out that there were deaths, people with masks who were torturing specific people and then I found out something called 'Hunger Games' but it was more of passing out than killing. I started to get suspicious and we all prepared for battle. Apollo came by for a while to tell us something. He said that he doesn't have a prophecy but he has important information. He says that a couple will have to sacrifice themselves in this battle. When we had the war, no couples die. The enemy lost and they were badly wounded. Before they hide in the shadows, I heard them whisper' It's ok, we'll buy our time. Have fun while you deserve it. We'll come back after a while. We'll go after your children and you'll pay for everything you have ever done...' I was scared and, I admit, unsure of winning. Years past and I still feel uneasy about our victory. Romans and Greeks started blaming the other for this and they finally shutted down the portal between the camps(the portal is NOT my idea. I took the idea from book_lover_117) Do you know why some of your names are different than usual? Penny, you were originally named Zoe but the gods are still mad at your parents for not following their orders so they named you Pandora instead. Cervello, you were named so you can ease Athena's anger. Jacob, your parents wanted your name to be similar to your father's so Zeus can spare you and it's the same for the rest of you,". We were all stunned. We didn't expected this out of all the things.

" But, who's supposed to die?" Jacob asks. " Clarisse and Chris" Chiron sighed. " Percy said that no matter what, no one should die. He said that the gods were just trying to make us kill each other and wanted to make us do their chores but he was wrong. That piece of information was actually for our own good. Apollo tried to do something good for us but us Greeks are always a bit stubborn and arrogant. In the end, I know that this will cost us very expensively and I was right. Whoever these Outlaw Heroes are, I hope they're up for the challenge. The Romans and Greeks have hated each other for centuries. I would love to know what they would do to bring them back together.". We all looked at each other and came to an understanding; This quest is really important. It's the answer between life and death. " Thank you Chiron. We'll try to help in any way possible," I said as I walked to the door. We all stood up except Penny. " Is there something you want to ask me child?" Chiron asked kindly. Penny looked at him, her face wet with tears.

" Mom and Dad never told me why they named me Pandora. Chiron, I know that Mom and you have a special connection so please answer me honestly-". Chiron was about to interrupt but Penny cut him off," No Chiron. I don't care even if it hurts me. Tell me the truth; Did they name me Pandora because they know that I'm a mistake and a mess up, just like Pandora was?". Everyone was quiet. "Child-"." ANSWER ME CHIRON!" More tears started to stream down her face. " C'mon let's go" Flash mumbled. He, Jacob, Penelope and Robin turned to go. Chiron was looking very uncomfortable right now. " Please tell her Chiron. She deserves to know after all she's been through" Sammy said. I went over to Penny and rubbed her back. Sammy started heating himself up and Penny leaned near him. Chiron looked at us and sighed. He looked at Penny and answered," Yes". I was stunned. I could tell that Sammy was too. I mean, even if you don't want the child, it doesn't mean that you can just call her a mistake. It's like putting a sticky note on a child's forehead that says; Mistake. Don't come near.

"Huh, t-thanks f-f-for b-b-being honest to m-me Chiron" Penny said. Wiping her tears away(unsuccessfully) and went out like nothing was wrong. " Were you telling the truth Chiron?" I asked him. He hung his head down in shame," Yes. Annabeth didn't like Penny especially at that time when they JUST had their first child and the gods were still angry with them. Percy tried to give her a chance but he said that she was SUCH a clumsy girl and said that she was such a mess up that he adopted another child,". Sammy shook his head," I'll never understand you human beings". I grin," So you aren't human?". " Yeah, I'm 15% god. But I mean like, I can never understand you living things and Chiron is one of the most amazhang people reader I know and if even HE can't understand why Annabeth and Percy are being jerks, then how can WE try to help Penny?". I shook my head, " I dunno. Maybe we shouldn't think about this for a while and move on with the prophecy". We went out to find out that it was time for dinner. Sammy and I went to eat and find Penny. We saw 5 girls kicking her and throwing banana peels at her. 

" HEY!" I yelled. They stopped dead in their tracks and I did my death glare at them. They ran away and we ran to Penny's side. " What the *Wattpad has blocked this content* were you thinking?!" I yelled at her. " Y-y-you g-guys are the o-only ones who c-care about m-me. The girls were bullying me earlier, in front of a lot people, and not ONE person came to help me. The passer bys aimed a few kicks at me before going to eat". We got some food, burn them, and went outside to eat them at the beach. Chiron let us pass and doesn't let anyone eat outside except us. We all ate in silence and when we finished, Penny said," I'm going". "Where?" Sammy asked. " To my family. I'm going to confront them and we'll see how that goes. Pack your things, if things go well, we'll stay for the week,". " And if things don't go well?" I asked her." Then we're getting our bags and be leaving this *Wattpad has blocked this content* in 10 seconds tops". " But what if your badly hurt?" I asked. " Then we're still going. Flash can heal me up in seconds or I'll just dump myself with water and we'll go". " But what if the others don't want to go?" Sammy asked her. " Then we'll leave them here. Our job is to reunite the two camps, not going around to see which camp is the best," Her tone was final. She had a confident look on her face, like she could face anything. 

" If you say so. I'll go tell the others" I said. We all stood up and went our separate ways. I saw Sammy and Penny going to face the Jacksons together, hand-in-hand. I smile at that scene and went to Flash and tell him about the plan. Not Penny's and Chiron's confession though. That's between us and I like it like that.
