Every Adventure Has A Beginning
A/N: I own nothing, and unlike my other stories I will try to finish this story since I seem to have a lot of free time.
I've been at the same school for almost two years, and I just ruined that today. I'm still going to Camp Half-Blood, but now I'm just out of school a week early. You need to remember that just because Kronos and his army is destroyed it doesn't mean that beasts will stop hunting us, and today might have been the hardest monster I have ever met.
The Fifteen meter tall Colossus decided it would be quite fun to chase me today, now you can imagine a giant metal statue chasing a student through a school wouldn't be that fun. And your right, but it obviously had a mission to do, kill me. Now luckily for me it failed its mission, but it almost killed me twice, and it killed a satyr and a nymph without a second thought since they stood in his way. He swung his sword down into the gym floor, getting the blade embedded into the floor. He then pulled off a basketball net from the wall and threw it at me. I dodged it with ease and crawled onto his back when he tried to pull his sword out of the ground. From then on all I remember is sticking my sword into a gap in his back... then I fell.
Right now I'm sitting in my mother's apartment waiting until the camp opens for the summer. Paul has been over a few times since I've been expelled and hasn't said that much, apparently destroying his workplace makes him forget completely about me saving the world nine months ago. Now I'm completely bored out of my mind, I've been spending a lot of time with Annabeth and her project to rebuild Olympus but truthfully I'm not there the build anything, I just like being with Annabeth, plus I need something to do in my free time. Olympus is starting to look really nice; it's a mix between ancient Greek styles and new future styles combined in unity. The news about the war is all over, and the world thinks it was a series of storms and natural disasters. So that has been my summer or at least anything that I felt was important, and tomorrow I'm heading off to camp.
Blackjack came to pick me up early in the morning, earlier than I would have liked anyway. So I quickly packed up and hopped onto his back. We stopped by the top of the Empire State Building and Annabeth come along for the ride with us. We arrived at Camp Half-Blood in no time, and we both went to our cabins. It was another fairly normally year until two weeks in, when something happened that would change what should have been a really relaxing summer; a new kid came in a bigger battle then everyone when they arrived at camp.
Chiron quickly ran over to the boy as this kid ended the battle, slaying a Manticore with only what looked to be a metal pole. The Manticore exploded much like a bomb in the sand. The boy was hurt; his left hand seemed to be completely mangled, at first I thought he lost it. Chiron grabbed the kid and brought him to the Big House. As he left Mr.D decided that this was the time to talk to the campers.
"So welcome to another summer here at Camp Half-Blood, as most of you know last summer we had a giant war, and we won it!, now the only reason why I'm so excited isn't because so many of you lived, it's because I got fifty years off my sentence of working at this horrendous camp. Now go do whatever and we'll try and make sure that nothing goes terribly wrong." Mr.D then proceeded to sit down as all the campers started to fill up their glasses.
The rest of the night went by normally and so did the rest of the week until our first game of Capture the Flag, when the teams seemed to be very fair, if we excluded the new kid. Everyone was getting ready, but I was watching the new kid get ready, he seemed very good, almost like he trained all of his life, the metal pole that he came to the camp with was now clean and it was quite clear that it was a spear with a chain wrapped around the end of it.
