Ch.1- The Newcomer
Percy's Point of View
The most terrible part of my life was about to come; yet I had no idea. It all started after Annabeth and I started dating. We've been dating for around two years after our war with Kronos. I was glad that we started dating because the first time I saw her, well maybe not the first time, but when I met her I instantly knew that I was in love with her. I didn't know if she had feelings for me so I waited. After five years of waiting, on my birthday, we kissed. That was when we started dating.
Her birthday was coming up and I had no idea what to get her. I really want it to be special, so I was going to ask an Athena kid what Annabeth really liked, well I mean besides architecture.
It was early in the morning and the two of us were just sitting on the beach just listening to the waves. I just kept thinking what I should get her. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice my girlfriend talking to me.
"… Well what do you think Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth muttered.
"Umm… Well…" I didn't know what to say because I didn't know what she was asking.
"Oh my god. Percy! Were you even listening to me?" Annabeth sounded upset. I guess she would be since I didn't listen to her.
"Well… You see…"
Annabeth interrupted. "I'll take that as a no."
"I was thinking of what I should get you for your birthday," I said defending myself.
"Oh. Well…" She was interrupted by the sound of a conch shell.
"Wow. Time flies when you're talking to your girlfriend," I smirked.
Annabeth smiled back and laughed. "Let's go Seaweed Brain."
Everyone filed into the pavilion and got our breakfast.
"Is everyone here? Chiron asked.
"Yes," we replied in unison.
"Ok. Well today a satyr is going to be bringing a demigod to Camp Half-Blood, and that everyone needs to be on alert for the two of them, especially if they are being chased by monsters," Chiron announced.
Everyone ate and laughed together. After awhile Annabeth came over to the Poseidon's table. "I wonder who this new demigod is going to be like."
"Well he must be really powerful if Chiron had to announce it," I said.
"I wonder…" but Annabeth was cut off by a deafening roar.
"Gaarrrggghhh!"
When I heard that I immediately took out my sword Anaklusmas and ran to the entrance of Camp Half-Blood, with Annabeth right on my heels, dagger in hand. At the top of the hill we were met by a Minotaur, two hellhounds, and three dracanae.
I sliced one dracanae in half then rolled and slashed through another. The last one threw a spear that I easily sidestepped and jabbed at it, turning all to a pile of dust.
To my right I could see Annabeth battling with the two hellhounds. Well it was a one sided battle. Annabeth dodged one and ran her dagger through the other. She turned and threw her dagger at the first one, both now a pile of dust. After she went to fetch her dagger, she turned towards me and smiled.
Her smile immediately disappeared. "Percy! Behind you!" Annabeth called.
I knew I was going to turn too late. I braced myself for the strike, but it never came. I opened my eyes to see a water spear sticking out of its chest. I turned to see the new demigod with another water spear.
"Thanks dude. You saved me."
"You're welcome," he replied.
"Hey, what's your name?" I asked.
"The name's Trevan Biskit."
"Well Trevan nice to meet you. I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. By the way do you know who your godly parent is?"
"I think the dude who brought me here said I was a son of Poseidon."
I smirked and thought finally, another son of Poseidon. "Well welcome to Camp Half blood, and we're going to be cabin mates. Any way, why don't we get you cleaned up a little?"
"That would be great."
I led Trevan to my cabin and gave him a change of clothes before he went to go shower.
When he got back I gave him a tour of camp.
"Wow. You guys play capture the flag?"
"Yup."
"Do you guys use real weapons?"
"Yes."
"Don't you get hurt?"
"Well that's why we do this. We do it so that we get used to using the weapons we use for battle. Well why don't you just wait for two days. We usually play capture the flag every Friday."
"Ok then. I can't wait."
I smiled and laughed.
"What's so funny?" Trevan asked looking confused.
"It's just that you're so excited. You're not scared or worried."
Trevan just smiled.
Trevan's Point of View
The rest of the day Percy helped me get into a daily routine. When it was dinnertime I went up to the pavilion and found Percy.
"Hey Trevan," Percy greeted
"Hi Percy. So how do these meals work?"
"Well, we get served some food then we have to go to the fire and give the gods a burnt offering."
"Oh. Doesn't burnt food make you gag?"
"Yes, but it doesn't smell anything like burnt food."
"That's cool."
"As for your drink, just speak to your glass."
I thought it was kind of funny but I did it any way.
"Pepsi Wild Cherry." My goblet filled up with a dark fizzy drink. I took a sip. Ah. Very refreshing. Pretty soon I drank it all.
"You get unlimited refills," Percy reassured me.
"Cool. Mountain Dew," I told my glass. Now my glass was filled with a greenish drink.
When our food arrived Percy and I walked over to the fire.
"To Poseidon," Percy whispered as he scraped his juiciest piece of meat into the fire.
I followed his example. "To Poseidon," I said as I scraped my ripest piece of fruit.
We went back to our table and ate in silence. Our silence was broken when a half man half horse walked, or should I say galloped, into the Pavilion.
"Good evening campers!" It bellowed.
"For those of you who doesn't know who I am my name is Chiron and I am a centaur," he was looking at me as he said that. "Today, as you all know, we got a new recruit. His name is Trevan Biskit. That's all for the announcements. Please get back to your meals."
Not long after the announcements a girl with blonde hair and dark gray eyes walked over.
"Hi Trevan. My name is Anabeth Chase, daughter of Athena.
"Hi Annabeth."
"She is also my girlfriend," Percy claimed.
We all chatted for a while before departing. I decided to go to my cabin. Once there I went straight to my bed and fell asleep.
