❛003❜
WHAT IS THE best way to spend your night back at camp? ivy has the answer. with a demigod nightmare.
it was storming on a beach, and two beautiful animals, a white horse and a golden eagle, were trying to kill each other at the edge of the surf. the eagle swooped down and slashed the horse's muzzle with its huge talons. the horse reared up and kicked at the eagle's wings. as they fought, the ground rumbled. and a monstrous voice chuckled somewhere beneath the earth, goading the animals to fight harder.
ivy ran towards them, knowing she had to stop them from killing each other, but she was running in slow motion. the daughter of aphrodite knew she would be too late. she was the eagle dive dow, its beak aimed at the horse's wide eyes, and she screamed, no!
she woke up with a start.
glancing around her cabin, ivy could see all of her siblings sleeping peacefully. she slowed down her rapid breathing. the dream unsettle her to the pits of her stomach. demigod nightmares usually had meanings behind them, and this one had been particularly strange.
swinging her legs out of her bed and putting her bunny slippers on, she decided to take a walk. ivy hoped to be tired enough after to get a few more hours of sleep. with stealthy steps, she walked towards the nearest window to her. cracking it open, and sitting herself on the edge.
avoiding the camp's perimeters, it was really storming. a furious wind and rattling rain that seemed eternal. she wouldn't be surprised if there was news of closed roads due to fallen trees and blown down houses tomorrow morning. an eagle and a horse, ivy thought.
she looked down to appreciate her pajamas. a beige silk button up and matching shorts. it was good enough to go outside, she figured. none of her bits and pieces were out.
her bare feet hit the grass floor on the outside of the cabin ten. closing the window slightly behind her, leaving a gap to sneak back in after. ivy started to stroll aimlessly around camp. her brain was a jumbled mess. mulling over the dream over and over again.
the eagle. the horse. the chuckle. the eagle. the horse. the chuckle.
somehow, after not really registering her path. ivy found herself standing in front of the big house. deciding last minute it was best to tell chiron about her dream, she made her way inside. looking through the different rooms, ivy was beginning to think he had gone to sleep. until she heard the murmurs of a conversation. following the sound, it led her to the infirmary.
walking inside, the daughter of aphrodite found chiron and annabeth mid conversation. her blonde curly hair was pulled in a ponytail, her own pajamas consisting of an extra large camp shirt and striped pants. she looked like she was trying to convince chiron to tell her about what was happening. the centaur was shaking his head, looking nervously at the storm outside of the window.
ivy knocked on the door to make her presence known. the two halted their conversation and turned to look at her. she smiled at annabeth knowingly, her best friend was never one to back down from a mystery. annabeth wailed her arm out slightly, turning back to the centaur, not minding ivy to hear what she had to say.
"okay chiron, but you've never kept anything from me–or ivy. if you could just tell us a little, maybe we help somehow–"she said
"get a quest," ivy interrupted annabeth's restless ranting, "you could get a quest."
