<div align="center"><em>Abigale and Chiron</em></div><hr/><br/>The boy's silence to her questions about whether he'd been out after curfew and such worried her. Maybe he had been and managed to injure a harpy. That was hard to do, but it had happened in the past. A lot of campers fought back against their punishment for being out after lights out, but most just ran away and tried to get back into their cabins. Abigale didn't push the subject.<br/><br/>As they walked to the Big House, she couldn't help looking around to see if she could find Vincent. He'd had quite the affect on her and she wasn't sure why. She found herself praying that if he did turn out to be one of her brothers, that he never got claimed. Someone never getting claimed was horrible, but she didn't want to find out if Vincent was her brother.<br/><br/>It appeared that Mr. D was out of the House when they got there, but Chiron was there and so was the camp security guard/van driver, Argus (http://camphalfblood.wikia.com/wiki/Argus). As usual, Argus was covered head to toe in clothing and was wearing a big hat to cover his head. It was rumored that his body was covered in eyeballs. That he even had an eye on the tip of his tongue and that's why he didn't talk. He was never mean though. Just did his job and went on his way.<br/><br/>Ryu introduced himself, "Do you need anything else, Chiron?"<br/><br/>"Yes, could you please go get Sarah Moret and Lilac LeJeune. Sarah is in Ares and Lilac is in Demeter. After that, you can get back to your activities...or back to Vincent," he watched her face go nearly as red as the section of red hair on her head before she dashed out of the House to collect the other two.<br/><br/>"Ryôsuke Takahashi, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope Abigale didn't intrude on anything important, but this is a matter of some urgency. Normally Mr. D would be here to talk with you as well, but he seems to be dealing with some<em>issues</em>of his own at the moment. As you know, or are learning, this is a special camp. Part of the training here is special missions that we call quests. Normally these are sent by the Gods themselves, but every so often an issue arises that demands immediate action," Chiron tried to make it not sound too gloomy, "These quests are not easy, but most people do generally come back alive," this is were Mr. D would of normally interjected with some comment about how tragic that was.<br/><br/>"Anyways, last night there was a disturbance in the forest with a creature of some sort. It was being controlled by a puppeteer. After it was destroyed, or at least taken down, the wood nymphs described a mass amount of spiders repairing the creature. I consulted the Oracle about this," he wasn't sure how acknowledged in Greek Mythology the boy was, "...and it said that three of you will go to the caves in Mammoth Cave National Park. It only named one camper, one demigod, by name that needed to go...that camper is you. Normally it never names unclaimed campers such as yourself, but it has happened in the past. Whether you want to go or not is not really a choice. I hate to force this kind of task on someone new to our world, but if we try to keep you here after the prophecy has been made...well...the prophecy always finds a way of coming to an end," he felt it best to stop there for now till the girls arrived.<br/><br/>"While we wait for your female companions, is there anything you would like to drink?" he smiled brightly, as if he hadn't just assigned a sixteen year old boy a quest that could possibly kill him.
