<div align="center"><em>Chiron</em></div><br/><hr/><br/>The centaur was glad when things started to settle down and he lead the two children of Hephaestus to the Big House. He smiled when Vincent said the last time he'd been there was when he was in trouble. It was true. Most kids only came there when they were injured or in trouble. That was common, "Don't worry, neither of you are going to be in trouble."<br/><br/>"Also, I agree with Abigale. You should both talk it out over who else you would like to come with. Abigale is a good choice. She's been to Mount Olympus several times and met her own father as well as yours. She's been here a long time and I don't think she's going to be coming back next year. That means she probably won't get as many chances to do things like this anymore," the centaur lead them up the stairs where his wheelchair was sitting. It would be impossible for Chiron to function in the modern world without that wheelchair. He didn't question how it worked, he just knew that it did and it was thanks to Hephaestus.<br/><br/>The centaur fit himself into the chair, turning himself into the crippled, old man that most on the outside world thought he was. He covered the front of it where his fake legs were with a blanket. Wheeling himself into the House, he invited the two inside, "I hope you both understand what a big honor it is for you to be invited to the home of your parent. Most never get to even hear their parent speak, much less get to meet them on such a personal level. Hephaestus has always been some what of a recluse. I can't say that either of you will get the kind of...attention or affection most would expect from a parent."<br/><br/>"No one knows where Hephaestus' new forge is and you both will likely not be shown the exact location. I expect that he will arrange for some sort of transport for you. I asked you both to come here to discuss everything because I don't want the other campers influencing your choices," he said with a smile, "I also think it would be best if you both decided what project you would like to bring with you. I know it would be nice to bring everything to your father, but I'm sure focusing on one or two things would be for the best."<br/><br/>"Would either of you like something to drink? I think all we have in cans is diet coke..." he wheeled himself towards the kitchen to let the two talk.
