" But you seem different. You possess more power and discipline than any other Pandora I have seen."
I asked:" Um... Sir, I think I don't quite understand what you are talking about. Percy said I was the son of Poseidon. Who is Poseidon? And you said I was the son of Zeus and Hera. Who are they?"
Percy shot me an amused look and said:" A demigod, not knowing who Zeus, Poseidon and Hera is? So laughable."
Chiron smiled gently and said:" That might not always be the case. Lyner, do you know who is Jupiter?"
I answered:" Yes, the Roman God of the Sky, Lighting, and Lord of the Gods."
Percy grinned smugly:"Same as Zeus for the Greeks."
I asked:" Wasn't Greece conquered by Rome?"
Percy's face turned red:" What are you talking about? Rome? We are Greeks, and you talk as if you're Roman."
Chiron said:"He is Roman. Percy, you understand what I say?"
As Percy is busy translating, I replied:"Yes, sir, you were just speaking Latin." I don't know how I learned to speak Latin, but I just do.
Chiron smiled, but it quickly faded into worry:"But a Child of Rome in Greek territory, that is strange. And you are a Roman Pandora, how strange."
