Disbelief spread across their faces.

"A god? Ha. We learned about those in school. A myth that a bunch of crazy Greek dudes made up who didn't know how the world works. Well, now we do. It's called science. Ever heard of it?"Ariyan smirked.

"You're cute," Lunar said, gesturing towards Rose,"But someday you'll learn what causes the Sun to go around the Earth, and it's not because some creepy underworld god!" Lunar laughed.

Rose looked stricken. "Hades doesn't drive the Sun Chariot, Apollo does! And even if you were right, the Earth goes around the Sun, not the other way around! And I'm telling the truth!"

Apollo.

"Guys, be nice!" A girl with a soft voice piped up. What was her name? Aspen? "She's just a kid, and who knows, she might be right. Let her speak her mind and it might explain why Frost was set on fire and survived." Aspen continued.

"The nice lady's right," Rose said,"I'm a half-blood too! Daughter of Athena. I go to a fun camp every summer where we play capture the flag, fight monsters, ride pegasi, climb extremely dangerous rock walls with lava pouring down the sides, and-"

"Yeah right. So what's your power, miss half-blood?" Ariyan interrupted.

Rose's ears turned red. "...um...I'm smart," she mumbled. Then she yelled "Dang it, Mom! Why can't I do anything cool like the others?" She tried to stomp her foot but failed as her leg was chained.

A moment of silence passed. "Let's play a game of share and share," Frost said enthusiastically,"And I think Rose is right, I...I remember someone coming up to me after rehearsal, he was glowing, and hot," He turned red when everyone looked at him like that. "Not like that! Like, temperature hot." Rasi glanced at him. "Riiiiiight," she teased. Frost plowed on, "He said his name was Apollo and he sure looked like a sun god. Does anyone else remember what happened before we woke up here?

Ariyan scoffed. "Yeah, I remember something too. But what in the world is share and share? I hope that's not some twisted version of show and tell you just made up."

Lunar reluctantly spoke up. She recalled, "I remember a girl coming up to me. She looked like she was twelve, and she had a silver circlet around her head. She introduced herself as Artemis. That's all I can remember before I woke up here. Not that I care." she added.

Rose perked up. "Aha! I haven't met Apollo before, but I have met Artemis, and that sounds like her! Did she have sort of a silver quiver?"

"I can't say for sure," Lunar decided. Rose groaned. "Anyone else?"

"Yeah, actually", Rasi said. "I met this woman, and she was hot." She winked at Frost. "In that way." Frost blushed. "No, really. I remember thinking, this is the most beautiful woman ever. Her voice was just so, I don't know, seductive, and she wasn't even talking about anything romantic," Rasi looked stunned even just remembering her.

Rose plowed on. "What did her face look like?" Rasi frowned. "I can't say. It was like her face kept changing, with different features, but they were all surreally gorgeous."

"How can you not believe me now? I haven't seen her, but my friend has!" Rose exclaimed. "That's how he said she looked!"

Elyse spoke up,"I believe that changing face girl is the god that has like, an afro,"

"Yeah! I think she said her name was Afro Dyemyhair?"

Rose groaned, even louder than before. "Will you guys be serious? It's Aphrodite! The goddess of love and stuff! And now you have to believe me! Don't you think that someone with a changing face has to be a god?"
