Nico was just walking through the Fields of Asphodel when he heard something behind him. Turning around, he saw Grover, Clarisse, and some other half-bloods in the background. Grover turned around for a second then turned back and started to talk.
"Hey Nico, could you sorta come over to Camp Half-Blood and maybe play a game with us for a second?" he asked timidly looking around from what the Iris message would show. Nico shrugged my shoulders.
"Well I have nothing better to do." With that, he slashed his sword through the Iris Message and began his departure up to the real world and to camp half-blood.
Grover wanted everyone here that he knew so he Iris messaged people or went to get them. There were only three people left to get when almost everybody was there in the training area. Connor and Travis went to get Percy and Annabeth. That left Grover with Nico. Clarisse had this smirk, like she planned this since he always hated the smell of dead people. Iris messaging Nico while he was in the Underworld was like asking for someone to stuff someone's 3 week old gym socks up your nose in Grover's opinion, which he voiced openly to Clarisse. Grover took a drachma as Clarisse took the hose and started a spray. Throwing the drachma in and asking that Iris take the offering, he immediately regretted doing that. As Nico came into view, he smelled an infinite amount of dead people. As Nico went walking, Grover did the only thing his body could do at the moment. He let out a squeak. People behind him sniggered or giggled and he had to turn around and glare at them before returning to the conversation at hand. Nico turned around and whipped out his sword. Relaxing, he came over and they talked about him coming over to camp. He agreed, slicing his sword through the mist, making it disappeared as Connor and Travis came back with Percy and Annabeth.
Percy was sitting on the beach looking out at the sea when Travis came and sat down beside him.
"Hey," Percy said when he sat down.
"Hi. Anything new happen in your life?" Travis replied. Percy shook his head no. "Well, we're playing a game in the training area, you wanna come?" he asked getting up again.Shrugging, Percy got up and followed him back.
Annabeth was sitting in her cabin with a few other Athena kids, reading a book about the Parthenon when there was a knock on the door. Her older sister, Allisa, went to get the door. Opening it, a familiar voice asked if she was there. Hearing her name, she stood up and walked over to the door. Allissa turned to the side and walked off when she heard her coming.
"Hey Connor!" Annabeth welcomed him with a questioning look in her eyes.
"You wanna play a game with me and some other campers in the training area?" Connor asked half turning and pointing in the direction of the training area with his thumb. Taking a minute to think about it, she looked around her cabin then turned back to him smiling slightly.
"Sure, why not?" she replied, walking back and chatting every other step.
Annabeth and Percy walked into the training area together behind Connor and Travis. Everyone was sitting in a circle and was chatting. When Annabeth and Percy sat down, Connor and Travis went to the other side of the circle and sat down next to each other.
"Who's starting?" Connor asked looking around the circle trying to find someone to pick on. Looking around, Annabeth pointed to a new Apollo girl sitting four people down from her.
"Hey um, girl what's your name?" Annabeth asked pointing to her. Looking around, the girl looked back at Annabeth and pointed at herself. "Yes you," Annabeth stated, looking back at her and letting her arm rest on her knee.
"M-my names Lauren," Lauren stuttered nervously, looking past Clarisse and a Hephaestus kid named John.
"Well, let's let the new girl go first," Clarisse, said with that little smirk on her face. Nodding her head with her little brown curls bouncing, she looked around. Lauren pointed to Grover.
"Umm, uh, Mr. Satyr, truth or dare," Lauren asked pointing to Grover and searching for a name to call him.
"My name's Grover, thank you, and I choose dare."
"Ok Grover, I dare you to take her over there and put a gallon of ice cream on her head," Lauren said, pointing to Clarisse.
Grover gulped and went over to the Big House, came back with a gallon of sherbet ice cream, and stuck it on Clarisse's head firmly. Apparently, the ice cream was warmed up a bit because when Grover shoved it on her head, it covered her forehead so it looked like she was wearing an ice cream hat.
"Ok Grover your turn!" Lauren shouted at Grover, happy at what she had done.
"Percy, truth or dare?" Grover asked Percy, walking away from Clarisse.
"I choose truth," Percy said after a few moments of silence and "hmmms" and "ummmmm" and "uhhhhhh".
"Percy, in your opinion, tell us what you think about the Greek Gods individually and together," Grover asked elaborately.
"I think that Hermes is cool but can be really scary sometimes. Aphrodite creeps me out a bit and I think that she's out for me. Zeus is cool, but he can be a bit, how to put this nicely, violent, odd, and mean. Poseidon I love, not just because that he's my dad, but because he can be so carefree and careful too. Demeter is odd but I don't know her much and when I first met her, she was having a conversation that had to do with cereal and Persephone marrying Hades. Ares is scary, funny, a bit dumb, and mean. Apollo is cool, but his haikus are annoying. Athena is cool, but can have a temper problems, no offense Annabeth, and she can be helpful and she's smart. Dionysus hates me, Hades hates me and wants me dead but is sorta weird and cool somehow, and he can scare me. Artemis is cool and awesome, but I think that the huntresses need to catch up with the slang today. Hephaestus is cool, weird, odd, and his kids are really awesome, especially Beckendorf. I wish he was here," Percy ended his little ramble and looked around.
"Did you really have to do that last comment Percy?" Travis asked.
"Well, talking about Hephaestus reminds me of Beckendorf!" Percy exclaimed. Just then Nico walked in with two other people covered in grey cloaks with hoods.
"I heard you guys talking from down there while I was heading up and decided to bring these two for your sake, and for my dad's sanity. You can take the hoods off now," Nico explained stepping forward and to the side. Taking their hoods off, two familiar faces showed themselves.
