chap 20 the funeral

We look around to to see chirion and the cabin head counselors staring at us " H-how did you-" phill asks as I shrug " Lady Artemis." as chirion rubs the bridge of his nose " Anyway has treys pyr prepared?" I ask to which chirion nods as everyone looks down as we walk out the door to the amphitheater and every one stands as I pull his body out of my ring and lay him on the pyr. After placing two gold drachma on his eyes " Rest well my friend." I say before turning around and walking away as chirion lights it " Zach do you want say anything?" I shake my head " No but I need to show you some weird spinx I managed to sketch." he nods as we stand by as his pyr burns the athena kids start to mourn.

Chirion leads silena and I back to the big house and sitting in the living room " Ok now lets see this spinx." Chirion says as he lowers himself into his wheelchair as I dig out the pad and show him the drawing and his face pales a bit " It common knowledge spinx ask riddles what was its riddle?" Chirion say as silena shrugs " I don't know i was trying to get the mortal out." I scratch my head " it was, I never was. Am always to be. No one ever saw me, nor ever will. And yet I am the confidence of all who live and breathe.

What am I?" Chirion sighs " Your lucky the different mythos don't mix well this beast is from the egyptian myths the give away if the headress." we nod as chirion makes us swear that we will not tell anyone to which we do and we leave" silena lets stop by your cabin so that I can drop off your clothes." she nods and we head to cabin ten and she walks in "Come on in you can set my bags on that bunk there." I nod as I pull all of her bags out of my ring" Ok then silena see ya later." I say before I start to walk out the door. "Hey Zach hold on a sec."

I turn around to find her right in front of me as she wraps her arms around my neck and kisses me on the lips sending a shock through me. Pulling back she laughs" You should see your face you look like a fish." I nod " Well get out of here before we get in trouble. Again I nod as I turn and walk out and into my cabin and flopping down on my bed placing my finger on my lips ' Her lips were soft.' I think as I fall asleep to be greeted by a office in a pearly white room ' Young man you by far the most complicated one that has appeared before me in years so I have no idea what to do with you so I'll send you back.' a man says as he snaps his finger as I see another office with two men sitting front of me and I speak but not in my voice.

" Grant, Hank how goes the operation?" the nod as the one called grant replies " Sir the raid on the slave market was successful but we were unable to find any information about our target." I just sigh as the door opens and 15 women walk in wearing rags and chains " Sir this are all the women the children are being look after by our medical personnel." Hank says I feel my head nod as I dismiss this and turn to the women and I get up and unlock the chains " Many of you have a living that you were taken from I will provide you with the means for you to return." I say as I feel myself sit on the desk and 13 of the women start crying and taking me before they are taken to freshen up " Sir me and my sister don't have a place to go can we serve you?" I feel myself nod before the sence changes I'm laying on my back gripping my shoulder as the two sister are laying on the floor with a bullet hole in their hearts " Business genius Jim Hill the reaper comes calling for a soul do you have any regrets?" a masked man asks still pointing a gun at me as I look down to see a copy of the sea of monster " Just that I couldn't finish the series." I look up just in time for everything to go black causing me to jolt awake in my bed.

"Ugh." I rub my eyes and sits on the edge of my bed " What the hades was that?" I ask aloud as I look up to see chirion getting ready to knock. " Zach you ok you missed lunch and dinner. So we had to besure you were ok." I nod as I stand up" Just a nightmare chirion is it to late for me to take a shower?" He nods as I gather my toiletries and head to the shower and turn on the hot water and takes a long shower ' Sigh I'm confused I'm aware of that those in Elysiumcan be reborn but they have their memory erased.' I turn the water off as dry off and pull on a pair of shorts to find a group of harpies outside " Your not supposed to be out after curfew." I shrug " Sorry I had to wash my thought out." I walk right passed them with out a care.
