| Elvira sat by the banks of the Little Tiber. Water splashed out of the river and onto her bare legs. All she was wearing was a purple tee-shirt and jean shorts that reached her mid thighs. Elvira, who barely ate, finished lunch quickly and headed outside to the river. The California sun beat down on her, causing beads of sweat to appear at her hairline. In the distance, she saw someone else approaching the river.

| Rick's day could not get any better. He had won a bet on chariot race winners. After a day of fun, he wanted to chill by the river. As he was walking towards the river, he spotted someone else knee deep in the river. He had never seen the girl before, even though he knew pretty much everyone at camp. He sat down by the river, feeling the magical strength and power of the river. He looked towards the girl. "Hi", he introduced himself, "I'm Rick, son of Apollo." | |

| Elvira turned, clearly started. She had forgotten that she wasn't alone. Her head whipped around to see him. "Uhmm," she started, "hello. I'm Elvira, daughter of Aelsculapius." She sort of recognized the boy, though they had never crossed paths. He seemed very happy, though Elvira had no idea why. "How are you?" she asked. That was always a nice way to start a conversation. | |

| Rick was worried that he had scared the girl. He had heard that first impressions were very, very, important, and he really did not need another enemy at camp. This girl looked familiar, as everyone else at camp did. working in the hospital and being on stage at least 10 times, he knew everyone. He started to reply, "I'm good. How about you? Who are you?" | |

| Her heartbeat slowed down. There was nothing threatening about the boy. He stood on the riverbank peacefully. His tone and stance wasn't threatening. "Elvira Sanitatum," she repeated. "Daughter of Aesculapius. Third cohort. And I'm quite fine." There was a friendly air about her. She had a huge smile. | |

| Judging by her appearance, she had not been scared. "I'm part of the fourth cohort, but I'm usually on stage. I also work part - time at the hospital in New Rome. I might also become the chariot racer for the fourth cohort. And then I will be known by everyone." Rick looked back at the girl who had a huge smile as she stared at him. "What?", he said. | |

| "What do you mean by 'what?'" Elvira asked, confused. "I'm not much of a fighter or a chariot racer. I'm a healer. It comes quite naturally to me, since my Dad is the god of healing." Aesculapius was the son of Apollo who devoted all his time to medicine. "I'm third cohort." It was like being the middle child. Being in the third cohort wasn't exactly fun. | |

| "You should come to our cohort, because our centurion built a fountain in the barrack and decorated our whole cohort with rainbows. So now we look like the 'nice and fun' cohort. Not the winner cohort.", he exclaimed. "So if my father is Apollo, that means that I am your uncle. That is so weird!" | |

| Elvira gasped. "I would actually like that." She smiled. "Rainbows are cool. I like rainbows." She bit her lip as he spoke of their connection. "And that is why I don't keep track of relatives through my Dad's side," Elvira laughed. "I'm also a legacy of Venus." | |

| Rick's stomach did a flip when she mentioned that she was a legacy of Venus because he had heard that children and legacies of Venus were mind - manipulators, thieves, and mean. However, this girl was none of those things. Well, I guess there are some exceptions, he thought. "I can take you to the fourth cohort if you want. Do you want to go now? You can use the messaging fountain if you want.", he replied. | |

| "Sure," Elvira said. "Though who can I message?" Then she had an idea. She could message the mother of Brooklyn, the girl who was murdered by a Greek. No, she decided. I don't want to send such a sad message now. "I have a cousin. She's a daughter of Trivia. She wants to take her chances with the outside world. Can I talk to her?" | |
