As I finished with the lessons, I told everyone to follow me. We walked the pegasus back to the stables but when we got there, Chiron and Percy were standing there. I told everyone to put their pegasus away and I walked over to Chiron.
"Hey, Chiron. Hi, Percy," I said.
"Does everyone know me?" Percy mumbled. He had sea-green eyes which just made me even more positive he was a child of a certain Big Three.
"Percy," Chiron began. "This young lady, along with Annabeth, helped you get better."
"Oh, thanks," he said.
"No problem," I replied. "So.... are you giving him the tour?" I asked Chiron.
"Yes, I am. Aren't you in the middle of lessons?"
"Just finished."
"What did you teach today?"
"How to dive while landing gracefully."
"Of course that is something you would teach," he said with a smile.
"You know me too well, Chiron," I smiled back.
"Can I just ask what your name is?" Percy asked.
"Oh, I apologise, Percy." Chiron said. "This is Silena Beauregard, head counsellor of the Aphrodite cabin."
"Aphrodite? Oh. Goddess of love, right?"
"Yep," I answered.
"Silena!" Someone inside the stables called.
"Sorry, got to go," I said to Percy and Chiron.
"See you later, Silena," Chiron called after me as I ran into the stables.
"What is it?" I asked them.
A girl from the Apollo cabin, Phoenix, responded. "The pegasus doesn't like my music!" she complained. Of course that's what was wrong. Apollo kids and their music.
"What were you playing?" I asked her.
"Pegasus Flies," she replied.
"Well, maybe he's tired and doesn't want to fly anymore," I said with a shrug.
"Maybe...." she said, though she didn't look very convinced. Her friends pulled her off to go to their next activity and I walked over to the pegasus.
"You're Spark, right?" I asked him. He winneyed so I assumed that I was correct. "Sorry that you had to listen to her music. I know songs like that make you feel the need to fly. And I know you are tired." He winneyed again. "See you later, Spark," I called out as I walked out of the stables.
I started towards my cabin but stopped a bit before I got to the courtyard around the cabins. My stomach was growling from skipping breakfast to see Percy this morning. I noticed Annabeth and Percy talking and by the looks on their faces, I assumed she was trying to tell him that he was a halfblood. It isn't easy to learn that you are a halfblood, but if you are at camp, you need to know at some point. They had stopped talking and Percy had his mouth hanging open.
"Well! A newbie!" Clarisse called out, walking over towards them with Gemma and a few other Ares girls behind her. This would not turn out well.
"Clarisse, why don't you go polish your spear or something?" Annabeth sighed.
"Sure, Miss Princess, so I can run you through with it Friday night." Clarisse laughed.
"Erre es korakas!" Annabeth said. It is Greek for "go to the crows." It may not sound like a very good curse but it is worse than it sounds. "You don't stand a chance."
