THANK YOU MOTHERFUCKERS FOR TWENTY THOUSAND READS HOLY FUCK!!!!
          
          You guys are the best readers that a boy can ask for, I hope I’m delivering the best quality of chapters that I can!
          
          I hope you guys continue to read my book! I love interacting with you guys, and I look forward to giving you guys a good book to read!
          
          Thank you my friends, from the bottom of my heart, truly.

The poll I posted in the most recent chapter didn’t save, so I added it in now! GO VOTE, DO IT, DO IT NOW

Okay, so, this next chapter is sitting at about 4,700 ish words so far, and that’s just the fucking cabin meeting scene that I teased about half an hour ago.
          
          Do you guys want a flashback or something in the middle of the meeting scene as like a scene break as to keep your brain vibing, or do you have any ideas.
          
          Because while sure, I can keep the meeting be one long flow of almost 5000 words, I wanted this whole chapter to go all the way to Medusa, or at least to the bus scene, (if Y/n is able to be present at that moment)
          
          I don’t want you guys be bored during the chapter that’s all I’m worried about.
          
          I’m probably heading to bed right now as it’s almost midnight, so I look forward to some suggestions when I wake up.
          
          I appreciate each and every one of you guys, and since you’ve been good here’s a few more lines from the chapter.

          “I’m not diagnosing anything,” Lee said quietly.
          
          “I’m saying I know the difference between someone who chose to hurt people and someone who… couldn’t stop.” He finished, giving his medical expertise and understanding.
          

Chiron stood in the Big House’s main room with the conch shell heavy in his hand.
          
          He stared at it like it might offer another option.
          
          It didn’t.
          
          He closed his eyes, lifted the shell, and blew.
          
          The sound ripped through Camp Half-Blood, sharp, commanding, impossible to ignore.
          
          Pulling campers and satyrs and pegasi into alert silence. But the call wasn’t for the whole camp.
          
          It was for eight.
          
          Eight cabin leaders. Eight votes-at least, that was what it would look like from the outside. A decision had to be made before the hour was up.
          
          Percy Jackson of Poseidon Cabin.
          
          Katie Gardner of Demeter Cabin.
          
          Clarisse La Rue of Ares Cabin.
          
          Annabeth Chase of Athena Cabin.
          
          Lee Fletcher of Apollo Cabin.
          
          Charles Beckendorf of Hephaestus Cabin.
          
          Silena Beauregard of Aphrodite Cabin.
          
          Luke Castellan of Hermes Cabin.

I just had this angst mini au’s pop up after reading this story to put it shortly it goes like how at the end of “I can’t help but wonder” with y/n letting Athena go after seeing her again and moves on

"Y/n will be limited to a shield.”
          
          Annabeth’s jaw tightened. Not surprised. Just… she didn’t have time to account for an ill-equipped Y/n in her plans.
          
          Chiron continued, his voice calm and soft-spoken. “This is not a punishment. This is safety.”
          
          “Some of you have seen what he can do,” Chiron said, pausing for a moment, looking at Quinn, who looked at the floor in embarrassment.
          
           “And some of you have not.” He finished, then looked at the greater cabins.
          His gaze swept the group. 
          
          “He is trained beyond most of you. He moves faster. He strikes harder. He thinks ahead.”
          
          Chiron paused, letting that sink in.
          
          “A shield is enough.”

Did you guys like the longer chapter?
          
          Would you like all chapters being that long going forward?
          
          If we do keep the length about 3-4 thousand words it’s gonna be like a week or two between chapters.

I think I've been playing a little too much Skyrim, because I'm starting to envision Odysseus's palace in my book to look a lot like Dragon's Reach in Whiterun.
          
          Skyrim has definitely been the main catalyst for how my story has stayed afloat; it's just that time of the year when I do a Skyrim playthrough.
          
          Going through the first run, I was doing a stealth archer, and my brain was like, holy shit, that's basically what was going on in the EPIC song "Odysseus".
          
          Some of the mods that change how combat is handled have helped me bring immersion to some of the fighting scenes
          
          So, Skyrim ultimately helped me in writing the story so far.
          
          Pre-production for the next chapter is underway. As it stands, it looks to be about 3 sections, and there could be a fourth that is possible, but im unsure how to make the third section flow properly into a fourth, seeing as how the third section ends is a pretty good spot to end a chapter.
          
          That's all you guys get for my little ramblings today, I hope the previous chapter was up to your standards of me : D
          
          Have a good day, and if I don't see you before Christmas, have a very merry Christmas, my friends! ( and a happy other holidays that coincide with this time of the year)

You all are gonna eat good, holy shit, I'm at like 3300 words, and I still have possibly a thousand left.
