I woke up with a burning throat and a headache. I sat up and looked around, trying to figure out where I was. And then it came all crashing down on me, the game, Harris! I got out the the bed and immediately collasped.
"Oh! It seems the warrior has finally decided to wake up." I looked around to find the source of the voice and was relieved to see Will Solace standing at the door of the Infirmary. "Impressive game last night, you, alone, took out more than half of the red team. I must say that is some crazy shit. Although everyone is rather busy with something else so you might not get enough credit."
"What happened? Is Harris okay?" I asked, worriedly.
"Yeah he is okay and thanks to you." Will replied.
"And the arrow? Who stopped it? And more importantly who fired it?" I asked, standing up and suddenly flaring up with anger.
"Woah Woah! Easy!" Said Will, helping me off the floor onto the bed. "All your questions will be answered but first let me check you up and confirm that you are ready to attend the war meeting."
"War meeting! But-" I was sushed by Will as he checked my pulse.Will was a child of Apollo, the only child left in Camp. All other kids had been sent to the Roman camp to live in the city; carry on the legacy of Apollo. Will had only remained behind for Nico, his boyfriend. Nico was another anomaly. He would always wear black clothes, and gave off an aura of uneasiness and power.
Although he rarely dueled, I was sure he would be a tough opponent.~time skip~
The head counsellor of the cabins were sitting around a round table, at the big house and waiting for the PJ Hunters to arrive. The PJ hunt had started an year after Percy Jackson had gone rogue and it consisted of all the demigods who knew Percy. Each had been given partial immortality so most of them were stuck as teenagers. It was headed by Nico and Leo, the guardians of the camp. Leo was usually not seen as he remained holed up in his workshop so it must be something serious to stir him out.
Nico and Leo came half an hour late and with them came Chiron. Chiron had mentored me in my early years and by the time I was ten, he had completely trained me in everything. So he left the camp and went to live with the other centaurs.
"Hey Chiron! It's so nice to see you!" I said as I hugged him. He was like a father to me and he had raised me.
"Nice to see my favourite warrior as well!" Chiron replied, adjusting himself into a wheelchair."We had to bring Chiron! We did not know how to deal with this situation." Said Nico.
"Oh I very much doubt that but it is good to be back!" Replied Chiron."Wait a minute! What situation? You guys did not even tell us what was in that note?" An angry Olivia asked.
"Yeah I mean c'mon it's been two days since the incident and you guys did not think us important enough to discuss it!" Shouted Emma, the head counsellor of Demeter.
"Hey! I wasn't told either and that's saying something as I'm in the PJ Hunt too!" Clarisse from the Ares Cabin said, eyeballing Nico.Immediately a riot broke out, with everyone screaming at the top of their lungs. Carter from the Dionysus Cabin was standing at the top of the table spilling diet coke while Harris was unsuccessfully trying to calm down everyone. Olivia on the other hand was pointing her sword at Clarisse, daring her to say another word.
"Stop! Will everyone just shut up!" I screamed and sliced the table in half.
The room felt silent and everyone stared at me.
"Well we should just relocate to the fireplace." Suggested Chiron and everyone followed.
As soon as everyone was seated, I asked Nico to tell us everything from the start, what happened after the arrow fell or there will be consequences.
"Are you threatening me?" Asked Nico, flaring up.
"What if I am? What are you gonna do? You can't even fight!" I replied.
