Read and Review. You get a nice, blue, double chocolate chip cookie (::)
If you looked past the beauty and uniqueness of the cabins, you'd notice a small girl, no older than nine tending the hearth, poking the coals with a stick.
And if you sat down to converse with the small girl [which happened once, every few eons], you'd notice that the girl with mousy brown hair, wearing a simple brown dress is Hestia;
The peace keeper on Olympus
The kindest Goddess
The Last Olympian
And soon, word spreads around camp, and campers are anxious to be meeting a nice God for a change [not that they'd confess that to Dionysus], but when they reach the hearth within camp, there is no little girl tending the flames.
And at first, guilt and remorse is the only thing in your heart, because you think, 'maybe she feels neglected, not having been talked to, for all these years,' but your camp hero says that long ago, he realized that maybe she preferred it that way.
But then a blue notepad catches your eye, and after reading the neon sticky-note, the fire decreases until it's two inches of black smoke, but you don't give the fire a second glance, why would you, when Hestia is tending the flames on Olympus, instead of in Camp.
You realize you have to move on, but before you leave to Rome to rescue the son of Hades, you gather around the dim campfire to read the small notebook, because that is Hestia's final request.
And when you read the heading on the notebook,
'To Those in Need of Hope'
you realize the same thought is going through everyone's minds, even the tough, fearless Romans.
So you skim through the first fifty or so short entries, because you don't recognize a Leroy or a Micheal.
But,
Then you come across Gus, and you recognize his name from the Attic in the Big House. He was a son of Hermes, who had stolen a pair of fuzzy dice from Chrysaor's Honda Civic in 1988.
But you don't recognize the language the next few phrases are written, so you skim through the rest of the little blue notebook, until you find another name you recognize

Thank you for reading. Hope you enjoyed it.
If some of the entries are confusing, and you want to know the reason why I specifically chose those phrases for a character,
feel free to PM me or mention it in a review.
Flames are mot welcomed, but they are given to my favorite goddess Hestia.
