“Wait, you now?” I asked. I searched my brain for someone named Enyo, but I didn’t remember a goddess that went by that name. Then, I remembered my Greek Mythology class when my teacher pointed out the Roman goddess Bellona’s Greek counter part, Enyo. I also remembered asking for more information and then learning that she was Ares’ sister!
“Enyo is Ares’ sister,” I said as everyone else looked around, as confused as I was. Emma jerked, along with every other child of Ares did.
“Ares has a sister!” Someone randomly yelled.
A blonde girl then looked up from her laptop. She pressed a few buttons and an image popped up; it was a statue of Enyo. The blonde girl looked at all of the Ares campers.
“Well, yes, but she’s not well known. She is the goddess of war and she is known to be the sister of Ares,” she explained to all of us. Clarisse looked at the blond girl with a confused expression.
“Annabeth, if that’s true, why don’t we have a cabin for her, huh?” The girl that Clarisse called Annabeth sighed.
“Well, she’s obviously not one of the twelve gods of Olympus now is she? You would’ve known who she was if she actually was!” She told Clarisse.
The kid with the sea green eyes from lunch stood up. “I’ll start working on the cabin right away!” he said. Emma then stood up.
“Percy, maybe she could stay with us?” She told the kid named Percy. Emma looked to Clarisse for confirmation. Then Clarisse nodded, signaling that it would be okay, and Chiron stepped forward.
“Okay, now that’s settled, who want s’mores?” He pulled out a tray with s’mores ingredients and everyone takes some. I noticed that the tray never ran out of ingredients, like my arrows.
I looked over at Annabeth who was sitting as close as possible to the boy named Percy. We ate s’mores ‘till we were stuffed. Emma fell asleep on my lap and when the campers started packing up, I hoisted her up and followed Clarisse to the cabin. She showed me to Emma’s bed and I laid her down.
Clarisse pulled out the stuff for another and I helped make my bed that was right next to Emma’s. I lied down and clocked out naturally. My first awesome day of camp ends with nightmares.
My nightmare starts in a count room. The jury consisted of twelve people. One of them that had a lightning bolt badge and another had a badge with a spear in flames he stood up and pointed at someone, I’m assuming to be the accused.
“She has claimed my child and should be dearly punished!” I looked at the accused and gasped. There, in full body armor, was my mother, Enyo. I wasn’t sure how I knew it was actually her though. The rest of the jury members were whispering to each other and all at once, they yelled,
“GUILTY!”
I suddenly jerked awake and saw Emma staring at me.
“You were thrashing in your sleep,” she told me. I nodded in response.
“I had a really weird dream,” I said. I explained my dream to her and once I finished, I looked out side and realized it was 3 AM.
“Sorry, I woke you,” I told her. I little girl like her didn’t need to be up at three in the morning.
“Don’t be sorry, you need to go talk to Chiron,” she pulled me out of the cabin and dragged me to the big house. He stopped in front of it but I stopped her before she knocked.
“Emma, should we really wake him up at three as well?” I asked her. She nodded and pounded on the door.
“Of course! We need to tell him about your dream, Chiron needs to hear it!” Then, the door opened to a sleepy centaur but, when he saw who it was, he immediately woke up all the way.
“Hmm, I’m guessing you had a dream and dear Emma here thought it was important? You may come in,” he sat us down at the table that was currently unoccupied by the weird man who likes the word ‘sir’.
I sat down next to Emma and explained my dream to him. When I finished, Chiron thought for a moment and then looked up at us both.
“It seems to me you need to consult the oracle, but first, you need to sleep through the rest of the night,” he gestured to a couch on the other side of the room. Emma hopped of her chair and onto the couch. I followed her and the rest of the night was peaceful.
