Kings of Clonmel - PJO/RA crossover

Caffeine addiction is not to be messed with.

Halt raised an eyebrow and sighed. »All right how about we all put our weapons down and...discuss the situation.« He pointed towards the fireplace. »Everything is better with coffee.«

Nico and Will turned towards each other, their eyes the size of dinner plates. » Coffee?«

The lunatics with weapons got their horses and followed us to the fireplace where the water was finally boiling.

While every one sat down I served coffee and couldn't help but grin over the bizarre situation. The atmosphere was still tense but the air was filled with the comforting smell of coffee and the slurping sounds of the two kids, Nico and Will.

Halt spoke up: » So are you going to tell us why you were spying on us?«

The Guy who's name seemed to be Kelphead and the girl who couldn't possibly be called Wisegirl exchanged glances.

Kelphead (seriously, who names their son Kelphead) spoke up in a language I had never heard before.

»Πρέπει να τους πούμε;«

›Wisegirl‹ responded in the same language: »Δεν νομίζω ότι θα μας πίστευαν, Percy«

Kelphead shrugged while the others snickered at the comment. »Όχι προφανώς, αλλά η αποστολή μας.«

The Dark-haired girl looked at ›Wisegirl‹: »Θα τους πούμε τα πάντα, εκτός, ξέρετε, τη θεϊκή επιχείρηση.«

Wisegirl nodded like she was agreeing to what ever the other had just proposed. »Εντάξει. πόσο περίπου στάλθηκαν για να πείσουν τους ανθρώπους ότι η Tennysons μια απάτη. Ούτε περισσότερο, ούτε λιγότερο.«

Wisegirl looks up. »We're not from here. We-«

»Neither are we. The question was why you were spying on us.«

Wisegirl rolls her eyes before shooting a glance at Horace. »As I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted: We're not from here. We were sent to... find Tennyson and expose him.«

The way she says 'find' tells me she wants to say something different. Discard.

Halt and I exchange a quick look. What a coincidence. 

I clear my throat. »Actually, that's why we were sent too. Why do you bother though? Why is it in your interest to stop stop him when you're not from here anyway?«

»We could ask you the very same question Will-number-two,« says Kelphead from the other side of the fire. He grins at me lazily and I can't help but wonder who they are.

The other Will looks up from his almost empty cup of coffee. »How about you answer first. We already told you our mission so it's just fair if it's your turn now.«

»We are sent by King Duncan of Araluen to stop Tennyson before too many believe him and he tries to take over the country for good,«says Halt. »Now please. Answer the question. Why do you care?«

The Dark haired Girl pulls her rucksack closer and begins rummaging around. Then she pulls out a sheet of parchment which looks to be a map.After a moment of silence she speaks up.

» Your King is afraid Tennyson could be a threat to him and his Kingdom, and rightly so. It's the closest country after the ones on this island and the next bigger one too.«

Nico puts his cup down. » I'll answer any of your questions when you answer me this one. Why does the King of a country ten times bigger than this one send three men to ensure the safety of two kingdoms?«

Halt sits up a bit straighter and fumbles around with his silver oak leaf necklace. »Have you, where ever you came from, ever heard of the royal rangers of araluen?«

All of them shake their heads. That's a first.

Sorry for not updating. I'll try to update more often especially since the story just began to get less uninteresting. Apollogies to the seven people who keep up with the story.
