Aaron's mouth opened in an outrage, he was fully ready to speak up against this guy. Aaron nearly spoke words in anger, having something about him being as charming as serial killer. He opened his mouth of course, fully ready to speak, but he didn't have the chance to before someone else spoke. Which was probably for the better.<br/><br/>"I would appreciate it if you gave the mentors of tomorrow more respect, Makednos. While your father is a being of great power and discipline, your birth is one not smiled upon by any gods." Chiron said, his honesty more brutal than usual. The marriage of Hera and Zeus was one that was very commonly known as unfaithful, but only from the side of Zeus. The queen of the gods, who had never once been unfaithful, was never happy with children of her husband that didn't belong to her. She'd forced Hercules to murder his entire family even, and despite the ever long length, it was all that was on Chiron's mind for the moment. "I intend no disrespect, Makednos, of course, however,  we have rules that not even the best of us are allowed to break here. Once you're outside these walls, I have no say in anything you decide to do, but here, I must place forth proper methods." He spoke, with the usual peace of mind and calmness that he always did.<br/><br/>Aaron didn't say a thing, only an enraged look remained on his face. He wondered what Murphy might have done. He imagined Murphy running straight at this guy and showing him just what he could do. The amount of trouble Murphy had gotten in was astronomical, but it wasn't always for the wrong cause. It didn't matter though, despite the fire in Aaron's chest, the walk to the Big House was quiet for everyone. With the bleak mixture of something being wrong and needing people to fix it, and the awkward vibe left from Mack's words, no one said much.<br/><br/>Aaron didn't say anything when he'd reached the Big House, despite recognizing people and hearing some brief words spoken. None of his brothers or sisters were around during the prophecy, and he truly wished he'd gone with them to combat training. The feeling he had in his chest wasn't bleak, despite that it should have been, he was still enraged by the actions of that son of Zeus. Most of the others had shrugged it off, but Aaron was a child of Ares, anger and grudges came very commonly. And when the child of Zeus spoke once more, Aaron's expression changed, to where he was obviously angry. But again, before he could turn feelings into actions, Chiron spoke once more.<br/><br/>"Makednos, please!" Chiron replied, as though he was speaking to a child who wouldn't listen. "If there's one rule that all living things, the gods to the titans, must follow, is that we cannot disobey the fates. Time and time again, it has been attempted, and no one has ever once succeeded." Chiron spoke, though in particular, it was meant for Makednos, as the rest of the children were familiar with the fates. "This is why I leave the choice to the fates, for who goes and who stays. Makednos, Sam Hunt, and Nadine Ellis, your place in the prophecy is unmistakable. And for that, you will go on this journey, as the fates demand it. As for the rest of you, you will be selected at random, the fates will make the right choice. Except for you, Aaron Yannis. You were at the campfire while the rest of your cabin lingered, and for that, I believe the fates have selected you." Chiron spoke, never once having to stop to take a deep breath.<br/><br/>"Yes, sir." Was all Aaron said in reply, his respect for Chiron was far too deep to say anything back. However, the truth was that the glory of this quest didn't seem glamorous. He'd never been out on a quest before, and he was going to have to be with that son of Zeus. Aaron stepped back, despite all the stirred emotions, mostly consisting of anger.<br/><br/>Chiron nodded, and revealed three coins in his hand. Aaron would have thought they were drachma, but the symbol was very different. As a matter of fact, all that was on it was a single arrow. Without asking the remaining children to get into groups or anything, he simply raised his palm, letting the three coins go forward. They should have gone in the same direction, but none of them did. One landed pointing towards Finn Redfield, son of Hermes. Another landed, pointing towards Clementine, a daughter of Aphrodite. And the last one landed, pointing towards Stayne Almist.<br/><br/>"You'll all leave in the morning. Any questions?" Chiron asked.
