talking to chiron

"It's fair, but not here; many ears," Chiron said, to which I gave him the rune to go to the Bar.

"You know how to use it," I said, to which he nodded and squeezed it; we appeared at my Bar.

"Welcome to the House of Heroes bar," I said to Chiron, who looked at me.

"Pretty good, core business," he said.

"Business for all the Pantheons, a refuge for the lousy parents that we have, who prefer to see us dead than alive. Currently, Gods allowed 2, Hela and Hephaestus," I said. Chiron waited for something, a tremor or something, but nothing happened.

"Cloaked out of sight and hearing of the Gods, quite impressive," he said.

"Divine wisdom plus help from the Dwarves and other things like mist," I said, pouring out a Mug of Kvasir's Mead.

"A Mead that Dionysus would kill or start a holy war for," I said.

"Kvasir's mead, but how?" Chiron said.

"He bought it from Gunnlod and Kvasir, a distillery in a secret place in Europe. Now, what is happening with the Greek pantheon?" I said, taking a drink.

"Someone stole Zeus's Lightning. Zeus accuses Percy, the Son of Poseidon, or so I think. If he is not from Hades," Chiron said, taking the Jar.

"Ha, what arrogance. It's obvious that this boy doesn't know anything about this world. It's a surprise that he lasted 12 years. By the way, a while ago I saved a brat from Apollo, or was it Delico like she is," I said, remembering the girl who Hail.

"Apollo, good girl. She joined Artemis's hunters after a few months. Thanks for helping her. But if Zeus is not in his right mind fighting with his brothers, he already made enemies with Hades after the second world war. He is going to send all his fury against Percy," Chiron said.

"Ha, it usually happens. The boy was thrown to fight against us when he was 10 years old," Sköll said, laughing.

"Well, I'll investigate the matter because, according to Mimir, this is more than a confrontation. If both of them move, the world a little... believe me, not only the Nordics will intervene. Nobody wants an apocalyptic end of the world," I said seriously.

"If it's any consolation, Percy will most likely get a mission when he arrives. You can protect him. Hades doesn't mess around. He hates the Children of the Big Three," Chiron said, finishing the Jar.

"I will watch him. He hates the Children of Zeus, not Poseidon, you know, because of the mortal he killed. And if we have proof of that in the records," I said, while giving him another rune to go to his camp.

"Erik, are you sure you want to watch them?" Audhild said.

"I know the boy would be killed if I don't watch him," I said, leaving the Bar and following Rune's Trail.

I arrived at El Niño's apartment. There was a terrible plague in the area. "By all the Gods, what a plague," Hati cried out pitifully.

"It smells like rotten for hundreds of years," I said, covering my nose. It was a mixture of sweat, tobacco, alcohol, and bait or rotten animal fat.

"It's that mortal. How disgusting. I wouldn't swallow it even if it was the last meat in the universe," Sköll said, looking at a bald and fat guy, all sweaty, out the window.

The satyr arrived and, after a few minutes, left with the child and a woman running to the car. The Child turned around for a minute and saw me as I disappeared.

"Damn, I'll need a ride," I said, calling Samirah. Ten minutes later, she arrived with a steed of mist.

"Welcome to Samirah Air Force. What is your destination, and what is that smell?" Said Samirah, on the roof of the building, almost vomiting.

"A mortal. Go straight for Long Island," I said, with her taking flight.

"What did you find out, Erick?" Samirah said as we flew.

"Well, someone stole his weapon and unleashed a war, accusing a child who knows nothing," I said. Night was already falling.

"Erick, look. Jotuns. And what is that?" Samirah said, pointing to the place.

"No, those are a dozen Lestrygonian giants. The other is a Minotaur," I said, looking at the giant and noticing that they were Greek.

"There are too many. What do we do?" Said Samirah.

"You can't go back to the hotel. Go to the Spa, while I... well, jump. Thanks for the ride, Sami," I yelled as I threw myself. If they ask, I'm a little crazy. About the answer.

"Erik, you fool. You're not wearing a parachute!" Samirah yelled, watching me fall.

I took Levi and lifted her up to do a guillotine. As she fell, I used the mist to create wings that slowed her fall while hitting the Giant on his head.

Sköll and Hati had arrived and were mowing down the other Laestrygonians. But the Minotaur had disappeared.

"Audhild, Rune, look for that obese bull in pajamas," I yelled at a Giant who tried to hit me with a tree they uprooted. After 10 minutes, I had eliminated all the Giants except one who only cut off his arms and legs.

"Who sent you?" I yelled, grabbing him by the beard. He looked at me. He wasn't going to say anything.

"Sköll, burn his balls," I said, with Sköll smiling and setting fire to him. The giant howled.

"I repeat, who sent you?" I said, hitting him with my fist.

"Hades," he said before cutting his throat.

"This is already a three-way fight. Damn the Greeks and their disputes," I said as I ran to the hill. I saw how the boy killed the Minotaur.

"The boy has his own luck," Sköll said.

"Not so much. His mother was kidnapped, a portal to the Underworld," Rune said.

I watched as almost all the campers reached where he and the Satyr had fallen. A blonde girl was the first to arrive.

"Let's camp. We can't do anything else," I said, looking in the direction of the place. The next morning I went to investigate the area. That's when I noticed traces of divinity. Not only Hades, Zeus also intervened.

"No, this is not divine, Erik. The weapon that was used was divine, but at minimum power," Hati said.

"If it has traces of something else," I said, looking back at the place where the Hurricane arose.

"Rune, Audhilld, take this rune to Chiron," I said, giving him an Ansuz rune. Audhild took it and flew away with Rune.

I investigated the area more. Some things did not add up in any way.

POV Camp.

Percy had woken up with the worst news in the world. His mother had been kidnapped for something he didn't steal. They also told him that all the Greek legends exist.

Grover had dragged him to breakfast. At the table was his old teacher, Mr. Brunner, who turned out to be Chiron, the Heroes' trainer. He was a Demigod, although he didn't know whose son. While having breakfast, two black crows came in and went to Chiron's table. They dropped a black stone from their mouths.

"Grover, my God, use ravens," Percy said, looking at this.

"Crows. None goes. Apollo used them, but it was a white one. Aphrodite has doves, but no one has black crows. And those are not ordinary crows," Grover said, watching the crows fly again. The same happened with the blonde girl who had been the first to arrive with Percy and Grover. She saw how the crows dropped the same black stone that the daughter of Apollo used a year ago.

Chiron stood up and left the room, going to a room with a man with a chubby face, almost purple-black curly hair, the most distinctive red nose, bloodshot eyes, and wearing a tiger-striped Hawaiian shirt.

"Chiron, it's important for you to come and not be teaching that bunch of brats," the man said.

"Dionysus, the envoy of my Nordic friend wants to talk to us," he said to which Dionysus snorted.

"Nordics, good at fighting, but they organize the best parties with drinks. Oh, the old days. And you still don't tell me where you found the mythical Mead," Dionysus said.

"Erik, you are," Chiron said, lowering the rune.

"Yes, I'm on the outskirts of the camp. Something interesting. The one who stole the lightning, I used it last night. A Hurricane attacked the boy named Perseus. Clearly, someone wants to incriminate him. Besides, it wasn't just that bull in Pajamas. A dozen Laestrygonians, Hati, Sköll, and I killed them all. When interrogating one, he said that he was sent by Hades," said Erik.

"Ha, interrogate him. We'll burn his balls," Sköll said in the rune.

Dionysus became serious upon hearing the names. "You kid, you're crazy. You brought the wolves that devour the moon and the sun," Dionysus said.

"Mehh, we don't care," Sköll said.

"We prefer to be with Erik. More fun," Hati said.

"Enough kidding. The mother of Perseus was kidnapped by Hades. You can get her back," Chiron said.

"I could. I'd just have to go and nail Levi in the head," I said, amused.

"If the first one doesn't kill you. He's still one of the big three. Chiron, whose son is this Elrick?" Dionysus said, opening a can of Pepsi and taking a drink.

"Odin," Chiron said, with Dionysus spitting out his soda.

"I can kill him. I think you know how good the weapons of the Dwarves are. I think Thor once said that he sent you flying in a drinking contest. It took you 200 years to regenerate your arm," I said.

"250. And that was Mjolnir. Unless Daddy lent you Gugnir, which I doubt. Forget about touching Hades," Dionysus said, remembering the past.

Chiron gave Dionysus a complicated look. "Oh damn, you have a weapon just like that. What fucking crazy lovers of fights. You need to say that you're missing an eye and you have divine wisdom," Dionysus said.

"Ha, I like this Greek. He knows," said Sköll.

"Oh holy shit," Dionysus said, drinking his entire soda.

"Enough of the small talk. I'll help the kid when it's time. They know how serious a divine war is, and all the Pantheons want to kick their ass. Even they know what they are in Oakland Hills," I said.
