Chiron led me to a grand house, with marble ceilings grandly hanging up. A weird sense of solemness travelled around the house, making it hard to laugh. The floor was tiled of paintings about how the Greeks defeated the Trojan war. I gazed at the wall. Carefully placed statues of the 12 godly members of the Olympus, in an order that the rivalries were separated from each other. The phrase "Long live Olympus" and " All hail to thee, almighty Zeus" were written on every everywhere that wasn't occupied. Next to the "Monster-evacuation" exit, Direction Signs were placed, marking "Old Rome, 6800 km.", "Mount Olympus, 3km" pointing upward and "Hades, 6400 km" pointing straight down.

I went to a room filled with glass bottles, and a wine bottle marked BC 1500 rolled on the floor. The room was decorated with grave vines. A man, holding a can of Diet Coke sat on a Greek-style stool. He had black hair and scarlet eyes.

"Mason McGray" The god boomed. "Come-" "Uh. Actually, it's Macon McGreen" Chiron corrected. "Argh, whatever. So you are the son of Nemesis. Now I am Mr.D, the Director of this camp. Now don't expect me to welcome you here. This is the place where you will easily die." "Dionysus" Chiron hissed. "Stop it" 

"So, tell me how you'd come here."

"Well, my dad is called  ______, he is a _______. I was trying to _______ while running away from _______. Then, a _______ called _______ found me and helped me rush to the _______." I staggered. As I more I begin to recall, the more blanks appears. " Then _______ happened. _______ _______ was _______ _______ I _______ _______ _______. It   _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______.  _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______!  _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______.  _______ _______ _______ _______,  _______ _______,  _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______;  _______ _______.  _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______,  _______ _______ _______ _______ _______,  _______ _______. That's how I came."

Well, this kid right here, has speech problems."

"But sire, My mind was really blanking when I start to recall."

" Anyway, as I was going to say, just enjoy your miserable life here." Grab your toiletries in somewhere of the camp and shoo you go." I rose up.  "But wait, Ah. do you know Bridge?" "A few, sir. Golden Gate Bridge, Sydney Harbor Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and Tower-" " Ahahahahah. I say Contract Bridge" " Yes, sir."

I played for a few moments, then Chiron said," He has to go, really." 

Mr D piled the cards and stuffed them into the box." Oh. Do go out of my office before I turn you into a bottle of strawberries."

Chiron led me out.
