Ch 8- A Prophecy Twice Written: A KOTLC x PJO fic

Instructions

CH 8 Keefe Keefe stared in astonishment at the cabins all around him. The half-gods- which he still hadn't fully processed by the way- had mentioned there were more, but they hadn’t realized there was /this many/. This was enough for the cast of a movie, multiple times over. He wondered if they had ever tried to film one. It would be a waste of time if they hadn't; maybe he should organize one after this whole annoying poem thing was over. “Welcome to Camp-Half-Blood,” said Percy, spreading his arms out, “home of the biggest group of teenage delinquents in America.” This place sounded fun. Annabeth rolled her eyes, “Don’t scare them away before Chiron can.” Foster, next to him, sighed. “I’m sure your world can’t be that much worse than ours. Let’s just go see this Chiron guy.” “If you say so,” Percy said. As they walked to the ‘Big House’, as Percy called it, Keefe looked at the camp around him. It was even bigger than he had originally supposed, and now that they had passed the hills, he could see a large expanse of small plants dotted wth red mortal fruits. In sandy areas, other teens and kids, demi-gods as well, Keefe guessed, were practicing everything imaginable: sword fights, rockclimbing (was that lava??), archery, restuffing dummies that had previously been brutally shredded, and more. If Ro could see this, she would practically explode with joy. Or explode someone else with joy. They rounded a corner, and Keefe could see what was probably the ‘Big House.’ It was set apart from the other buildings with a large porch and multiple stories. If this was their big building, then their world was /very/ different from the elves’. No gems, sparkles, or oversized chandeliers; it was a nice break, really. Once they had entered the porch, Keefe could see who he guessed to be Chiron. On the porch, there was 1 person, 2 people, counting the horse whose front half was around the corner, just out of sight. Maybe-Chiron had shaggy, uncombed dark hair, a flowery shirt, and a Diet Coke in his hand. “Is that Chiron?” Foster gestured to the man, voicing exactly what Keefe was wondering. Before Annabeth or Percy could respond, Maybe-Chiron laughed, “Me? That old horse? No, I’m a god.” He turned to Percy and Annabeth, “These new brats for me to look after? Seem kinda old. Either way, talk to Chiron. I'm busy doing nothing.” “Hold the T. rex up,” said Keefe, “Horse guy? God?” “Oh, did you not tell him?” Not-Chiron said. He turned back to Keefe, “Surprise. Gods are real.” “I knew that just- never mind. So, horse guy?” Suddenly, the horse turned to walk over to them. Oops. Not horse. Horse guy. “I heard the word ‘horse guy’ multiple times, so I assume that’s me.” “Hi, Horse Guy,” said Keefe, Foster hitting his arm right after. Horse Guy just smiled and said, “Chiron will do,” before glancing at Percy and Annabeth, “New demi-gods? They seem a bit old not to have been found yet.” “It’s a long story,” said Percy, “long story short, they are elves, but not the Norse kind, they are the other prophecy group, there's some villain who was your guys’”-he gestured to Not-Chiron- “experiment, and they have chimeras.” Horse Guy stared at them. “I might need the long story not short.” After explaining about the whole woo-hoo-we-are-elves thing and the whole Peírama thing, Horse Guy sighed heavily, which Keefe thought was a fairly good reaction to this whole situation. “We should discuss this further with our own worlds. In my experience, clashes of universes are not the most promising thing, and I’m sure you two have your own team to talk with.” Foster's eyes widened. They had light-leaped to camp- the demi-gods were kinda shaky about that- so it hadn’t taken too long, but they were definitely well over the 11 and a half minute limit. “You’re right, we need to go. When will we see you again?” “Are you able to just do the light jump thing after you talk?” asked Percy. “Sounds good. Come on, Keefe,” Foster said, pulling Keefe behind her to where they could light-leap out of borders. “See you then!” she called back.
