We followed Annabeth to Chiron's office and before we knocked, we overheard him saying, "I know what the oracle said, but why do you insist on not telling them this time. If it has something to do with those heroes, then it's their mission. They have to know about it."
We didn't hear what the other person said, but we heard Chiron sigh and reply, "I know...But the words can be interpreted differently....Yeah...Oh...By the door?...Alright."
And with that we found the door being opened and Chiron asking, "What're you, heroes, doing by the door?"
Bec:
"What're you, Chiron, doing hiding things from us?"
Lau
Chiron looked at us calmly, "What're you talking about, Becquerel?"
Raina:
"If you don't want us to listen, maybe you should speak in whispers. We heard from you knowing something about the oracle and don't want to tell us to words are interpreted differently."
Lau:
Chiron sighed and said, "Come on in...We need to talk."
Raina:
I stepped inside and saw who the other person Chiron was talking to was.
(( Don't know where this is going so don't wanna make anything up ^^))
(( I was actually thinking of having Chiron talking through the mirage thingy, but doesn't matter :D))
Lau:
When we stepped inside, I saw a woman who reminded me so badly of a headmistress of one of my old schools. Her hair was up in a tight bun. Her glasses were framing her eyes, which by the way, were looking down on us.
Chiron seemed lost for words before saying, "Leanne is an old friend of mine...Now...you may sit down...all of you. We need to talk about all of this. I won't promise all the answers since there are some I have sworn on the River Styx not to reveal."
(( Oh lol :P Sowwy ))
Raina:
"Well then..."
(( NAaaaaaah. I'm making things as we go!))
Lau:
Seeing that everyone was still thinking, I raised my arm as if we were in a class. Chiron blinked a little, but asked unsurely, "Lauren?"
"Are we gonna die?"
He seemed surprised by the question for the split of a second before going on, "No. At least, I sure would hope not. Things are dangerous, though. More dangerous than you would all imagine."
I smiled looking at the others, "See? We're not gonna die. At least we're not certain about it yet. We still have hope after all."
I saw Daniel roll his eyes before asking, "What do you know about the scroll?"
Before Chiron could say anything, this Leanna lady, which I swear seemed to hate me, cut in and said, "We know it shouldn't fall in the wrong hands. We know that they've taken your brother, Daniel. And we know that he won't give him back to you even if you take the scroll to them." That Leanna lady turned around as Annabeth seemed to have a calculating look on her face. Did she recognize her?
Leanne went on pouring herself a little of the nectar, "In fact, if they do get the scroll...then, we'll all be dead."
I gave Chiron a look, "You said we won't die."
Leanne replied to that, "Daughter of Poseidon. You won't if you do exactly what I'm going to say."
Annabeth, "Mom?"
I looked at Annabeth as if she lost her mind. In fact, Percy was doing the same thing. He looked from Annabeth to Leanne and then he seemed to flinch a little.
Leanna turned back to us and seemed to shine a bit.
"You're Athena?!" Daniel asked not so happily.
"Yes, Daniel...And I have a quest for your lot."
Bec:
I squint a little, wheels turning in my head, "Why did they take the little brother though? It doesn't seem like they have a way of contacting us, and the boy hasn't got direct connection to the gods."
Lau:
Leanna...uh...Athena smiled knowingly, "Does he not?"
Daniel, who was fuming silently, asked, "What do you mean?"
"The little boy is much more related than you think...I'm afraid I can't reveal much more than that. Zeus's orders...You will however find out if you do accept this quest."
Raina:
"If? I thought we already did the moment we had brought Daniel with us."
Lau:
"You can still go back." Athena said calmly. Her eyes were locked on Daniel who was glaring at her. "So, what's it going to be?"
Raina:
"We knew the dangers of going in. That doesn't mean we will. At least, I won't. I'll stick through this to the end."
Lau:
Smirking, I said holding Bec's hand, "Yeah. Bec and I decided that we needed an exciting date, so we won't mind killing a few monsters here and there."
Daniel actually seemed touched. He said nothing, but nodded quietly.
Athena seemed to study us for a few minutes before saying, "Well...I'm not allowed to help you much...Zeus's orders...I am, however, going to put you on the track. You will need to pay a quick trip to your mother, Becquerel."
Bec:
I twitch, fingering the locket, "Do I get a reason why I'd do that?"
Daniel:
"Believe me. I wouldn't want to send any of our heroes to Nyx if there wasn't a reason." Athena said visibly nervous about her "The problem, however, there was a flashlight that we had to use to access the hideout where the scroll is...And one of your siblings thought it would be fun to take it. And as well all know, the only person who has control on your siblings is your mother."
Bec:
I squeeze Lauren's hand, slightly nervous, "Siblings? You've got to be kidding me. Can I at least know which? The dangerous or the intensely dangerous ones?"
Lau:
I wasn't sure I wanted us to go there after hearing Bec's tone. I knew he had a rocky relationship with his mom (hence why we never bring it up), but at that moment, I could tell how dangerous she was...and from the sounds of it...how dangerous his siblings were.
Athena replied making a face, "Lyssa... I believe her nickname is Madness?"
I didn't like the sound of that. Quickly, I asked, "Why are we the ones to retrieve the flashlight? Why not Olympus?"
Athena didn't seem too happy about the question. It seemed like I was a bit too hasty with that, but in all honestly, I didn't care. She replied nonetheless, "Nyx isn't exactly...the most gentle goddess. We don't see eye to eye. But since Becquerel is her son, she might be more willing to cooperate."
Bec:
I sigh, accepting it, "Great," I mutter to myself, "Just great. Anything else we might need to know? Or is our plan, 'trust a primordial goddess to help us find a light then just figure it out from there'?"
Lau:
Athena looked at Percy, "And you do know how to get to the scroll thank to Perseus there." Percy smiled guiltily at her with Athena biting her lips to stop herself from laughing.
Anna:
I entered Chiron's office and gasped. "LAUREN!" I hugged her. "I lost you!" I whispered the next part. "You've grown a bit chubby.."
I gasped loudly. "Are you pregnant?!" I squealed. "LAUREN"S PREGNANT!!" I screamed happily and started dancing around while throwing rose petals everywhere. "Oh! Babies! I'm gonna arrange the baby shower and we need to buy baby clothes and CRIBS!!"

Lau:
I paled as Chiron looked at me questioningly, "I'm not!!!! ANNAAAAA!!!!"
Raina:
I watched the scene unfold with my mouth gaping.
Lau:
"Raina. Catch her before I kill her!!!" I seethed before adding, since it took me a few seconds to focus, "And I'm not fat!!!" I looked at Raina ands asked worriedly, "Did I gain weight?!!!"
