Chapters 1-3 in Wake Up and Smell the Coffee.

Chapter One - Another Quest
“Make sure you have a firm grip on your shield.” I said, “That’s the whole point of this class, so don’t lose it!” I was teaching campers shield skills with my best friend Natalie by my side. It was a new skill that Camp was offering that Natalie and I created. Basically, you just whacked people with you shield, so, naturally, Natalie and I were awesome at it.

As we were walking back from teaching, Chiron stopped us. “Kassi, Natalie,” he started, “I have news for you. Another coffee chain, Biggby, somehow connects to our world. I know you stopped Starbucks last year and I hoped you would take up this quest.”

I looked at Natalie, we had guessed as much. We had done a bit of research on it ever since Natalie made the connection. Biggby = Boreas = devourer = not good. Of course, at the time, Natalie was against taking action, and I agreed semi-unwillingly. Now, we had to. One: we had the best knowledge about it, not that Chiron knew. Two: Chiron had asked us to.

Chiron, mistaking our look for one of questions and confusion, continued, “The quest would be Kassi’s. I don’t mean to exclude you Natalie, but I thought that since she led it last time, she would know the ropes.”
