Chapter 79: Return to Camp

It didn't take too long to get to Camp Half-Blood, Enychta landed a few meters away from the barrier and transformed into his Nemean Wolf that was naturally bigger than every single wolf someone ever saw, standing with 20 feet of height and over 20 feet in length, the black wolf with golden eyes was a monstrosity! And riding such monstrosity was the duo of Demigods, Pruno, and Luke, who were talking to each other.

Pruno was lying with his back against Luke's chest, he was completely relaxed while Luke was holding onto Enychta's black and fluffy fur to not fall. Although Enychta was walking at a speed he considered slow, his huge body also messed up his perception of distance, so a small step forward for him would be hundreds of small steps for a normal human! So although Enychta was going "slow", they still needed to hold onto him to not fall, Luke sincerely thought about asking Enychta to make a saddle but he kicked that thought away, due to Enychta's comfortable fur, it wasn't that bad riding him bareback. 'Oh my God, that sounded so dirty' Luke thought as Pruno nuzzled his head on his chest and said: "*sigh* I liked going with Eny to that quest, but i think I'm done going in quests for the next few weeks at least!" Throwing his hands up to increase the drama, Pruno pouted when Luke only chuckled at his dramatic acting.

"Well, I think I also need a break from that..." Luke whispered, barely audible to normal humans but very audible for Demigods, who had better senses than humans. "Are you okay though? I know what I saw was bad, but you were angrier than me... I am worried about what you saw, I know that saying "it wasn't real" is not going to help you because for you it was real! Like it was for me too... Just because it happened in your head doesn't mean it wasn't real you know? Eny told me that once and I never forgot... I want you to know that I love you and I am here to listen." Pruno smiled as he patted Eny's black fur, making the wolf stop just in front of the barrier to enter Camp Half-Blood. "We're all here to listen, okay? If you want to tell us what you saw, we can help. If that's what you want." Enychta's deep voice resonated from the big black wolf, just that phrase was enough to make Luke feel safe.

"I know... We can talk later? I'm just tired right now, I need to sleep and eat something... Will you cook for me, babe?" Luke, for the first time in a while, acted a little more spoiled than he normally does, making Enychta give him a wolfish smile, which was technically the only smile he could give him since he was, in fact, a wolf. "I will always do whatever you ask me to do, dear," Enychta answered with sincerity, making Luke's face grow a little hotter than it was before, Pruno jumped in the opportunity to have free food and added: "I want cherry pancakes! We can make some strawberry pancakes as well... Maybe some blueberry pancake too, I'm just really hungry." Enychta chuckled at that, his body walked forward, his nose touched the barrier, and passed eight through it. Since he was accepted by his mother, the barrier would let him enter and leave whenever he wished to do so.

Walking forward, they were met with Chiron, the centaur that is the one who runs this camp... Dionysus is nothing but a face, he may be the director in name, but he never acts as the director because he is a bitch. "I see you three returned!" Chiron excitedly yelled, attracting the attention of some other Demigods that were nearby due to how loud Chiron was... Enychta's ears fluttered as his big wolf frame came into full view, making the other Demigods gasp in surprise to see such a big wolf! They've seen Hellhounds before, but Hellhounds didn't look as majestic as a wolf with golden eyes and black fur!

"Chiron!" Luke excitedly shouted back, he looked down and kissed Pruno's forehead before jumping down. However, what happened was completely different from what others thought would happen, he didn't fall like a rock but slowly descended until he touched the ground... As if the speed at which he was falling was slowed down. Pruno sighed, he felt the cozy chest that was holding his back disappear, which meant he also should go down the wolf, he would normally wait for Enychta to change back into his human form or slowly reduce his size until he was small enough so he could jump from him without hurting himself, but Pruno knew what to do.

When he jumped, roots sprouted from the ground and formed a platform in which he landed, the platform slowly descended into the ground, where the roots returned to the earth. "Hi, Chiron." Pruno greeted the centaur, Enychta huffed a little annoyed at the loss of both demigods from his back and slowly his body began to shrink until he was back at his normal human form, his eyes turned back into purple eyes with his slit pupils, which were slowly getting round like a car's pupil. "We completed our quest," Enychta stated as he walked forward, his naked body completely exposed to all to see.

As his feet went forward, threads started to appear around his body, wrapping him in a cocoon of black silk, that in less than a second exploded, exposing Enychta's fully dressed body. Tight black clothes that made his body very... Delicious to look at.

"And what exactly happens after we complete a quest...?" Pruno questioned, he never thought about what happens next, he was hoping for a party of some sort! "Well, after the quest is completed, you get to rest of course. Unless the Gods decide to send you to another quest... I can't do much about that, but I can and will organize a celebration. It's been a while since we had Demigods return alive from quests and one that takes you to another continent? It's been a long time... You three should go rest, tonight we will have a celebration."

Well, to Zeus Cabin they went.

Enychta, however, heard something... No, someone was speaking directly to his mind! "Hello, son."
