<div align="center"><strong>The Weaver</strong><br/><br/>(http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/3326/theweaver.jpg) (http://img338.imageshack.us/i/theweaver.jpg/)<br/><br/>Chiron was the first to notice the situation. He felt a shiver run through his body as he sat up from his hay pile of a bed. He not of been outside of the camp in a long time, but he still knew when something bad was happening. He could sense it.<br/><br/>The centaur galloped as usual around the camp borders before heading to the forest, "Junpier? Are you awake?" he asked a near by tree.<br/><br/>A petite, red haired, green skinned girl morphed out of the tree, "Good morning, Chiron. Of course I'm awake. I don't think I can actually sleep...Did you need something?"<br/><br/>"Were there any campers in the forest yesterday?" he watched her climb up her tree and rest out on one of the branches, "Or anything strange happening in there? We're going to be using the forest for our usual Capture the Flag game soon and I'd like to make sure that it's moderately safe. At least as safe as it can be."<br/><br/>"Hmmmm..." she placed a finger to her lips as she thought. The wood nymphs around here seemed to delight in making people wait, or making them give chase and then smack into a tree, "Yes. I think there were three that wandered in. That handsome boy, Clint. I'm so glad to see him back. Son of Hades or not, he's quite easy on the eyes. He rescued some girl that was being attacked by the birds and ants. The other came in late last night, after curfew. Pretty girl, but not nearly as attractive as the one Clint saved."<br/><br/>"She came in alone?" if Junpier didn't know her name, then she had to be a new camper, "Did anything attack her or anything else attack the others?"<br/><br/>"A disgusting hellhound came out after the ants, but it didn't attack Clint and the girl. It seemed to like Clint. Thing almost lifted it's leg on my tree. I would of given it such a thrashing if it did...as for the other girl, some skeleton thing attacked her. She stumbled around a little bit, but she managed to destroy it. She took it's sword before she left. I thought Mr. D and yourself forbid the skeletons from coming in here. Has that rule changed this year?" the wood nymph hung upside down from one of the branches, her green dress falling over her head for a moment till she pushed it back.<br/><br/>Chiron shook his head, "No it hasn't. This is very upsetting. I'll have to speak to Mr. D about this. Any thing else happen last night?"<br/><br/>"The harpies circled for a little bit, but other than that...no, I don't think so...Oh, wait, there were some spiders making a lot of webs around the bones of that skeleton. It almost looked like they were repairing it. Any time myself or one of the others tried to get close enough to see it, we couldn't. The spiders would swarm up and hide whatever they were doing. Most of the trees have moved to different locations. They don't want to be around the thing."<br/><br/>"Thank Junpier," he nodded lightly to her before taking off back towards the Big House. It took a while to convince Mr. D that this was an important situation that needed to be dealt with.<br/><br/>"Just send a team out like we always do. The nymph said something about spiders, so send them out to check on Arachne to make sure she isn't stirring up trouble," Mr. D waved a hand to try and brush off the conversation, "If that's not it, then hopefully she'll eat them. Go consult the Oracle and see what the old mummy has to say," Chiron was annoyed with Dionysus' obvious uncaring attitude towards the matter at hands, but he climbed up into the attic (which was very difficult to do) and asked the Oracle for it's advice. He came back down an hour later, "Well? What did it say?"<br/><br/>"Mammoth Cave National Park. That's where they will have to go."<br/><br/>"Did it give any names or can we just pick the ones that annoy me the most and hope they die along the way?" Mr. D smirked as he shuffled his cards.<br/><br/>Chiron narrowed his eyes, "It said three would have to go, but it only gave one name. Ryôsuke Takahashi. One of the new unclaimed."<br/><br/>"Well, go find him and get him a team together..."<br/><br/>The centaur didn't like sending unclaimed campers out on quests, but if he knew better than to try and defy the Oracle. If it said Ryu was to go, then there was no way around it. Chiron nodded and headed out towards the cabins. </div>
