Bear with me, please! First few chapters are informational (just a warning). I will definitely add action-packed chapters!
There's a few different groups camp, it's like high school except with a much larger range of age. Camp is our home, probably the only home anyone of us have. We are all demi-titans. Yup, that's right, half mortal and half Titan. Most of us aren't like our parents, some of us sadly are. Don't judge us because of who our parents are, it doesn't always go well. Take Vanessa for instance, she is a daughter of Nyx (Titan of night) but wears hot pink! We've got children from both Roman and Greek Titan counterparts.
The camp's name is: Camp Titan. I know, pretty lame. But when the titans were over thrown, they weren't so good at naming things. Most people at camp call it CT or Camp Tartarus. The demi-titans who come here hardly ever leave on quests, it's like we are all being kept imprisoned in a place of no escape. There's monsters keeping us in, and helping us occasionally. Those who are 16 or older can leave, go to a mortal school, and can choose to never return. But if they choose to not return, they cut all ties with this world. And everyone else who's younger, no luck for them. Well, if the right guard is on duty you can bribe them... If you're caught "escaping" you get locked up for a week in the box, a dreadful experience.
Anyways, I'm Amelia. I'm one of the daughters of Hyperion, Titan of light. I'm also my bunk leader. It's like being the ruler of a small civilization. Sure everyone does what I say, but it means that I can't sneak out. I'm 15 after all, so close to escaping but not yet. I have to set an example for the younger campers. Basically, no sneaking out or if I do, I can't get caught. A lot of the other cabin leaders have the same dilemma. Typically, the older kids leave camp and never return. We don't know what happens to them thou. One of my best friends, Vanessa, has my problem-more or less. Her cabin, the Nyx cabin, has two leaders. It's because Nyx is the wife of Erebus. The head honcho of camp wants to keep the half-siblings together. It's pretty sad for Vanessa, she hates her half-brother (son of Erebus) James. It's not a problem for the campers in her cabin thou, or in other one. Marriage and relationships between campers, even if the Titan parents are married together, are perfectly fine. And are actually common.
Camp Titan is the only home I've known. When I was little, I can only vaguely remember my mother. At around seven I ended up at camp. Apparently my powers went berserk and a Cyclops came to get me. Cyclops guide demi-titans to camp-well, the younger nicer ones otherwise you're stuck with a Sileni (very old and very hard to kill satyr) or an automaton (these are the worst, they just grab and go). I like camp, so it's no big deal that I can't leave. But I so badly want to leave...
I'm probably the only Hyperion demi-Titan who has dark hair. My siblings all have shinning blonde hair. And then there's me, who sticks out like a sore thumb between my siblings. Aside from that, we all have the same happy and fun aura around us. It's great being this cabin leader. Everyone listens to me and I'm not even the oldest. There's a few 17-year olds in this cabin too. I was voted cabin leader a long while ago and so far no one has objected. Cabin leaders are chosen by the cabin mates in an anonymous vote. And anyone can "object" meaning they disagree with who should lead the cabin and then there's a re-vote.
In this camp, all the cabins are here. No Titan is left out, some cabins are adjoined like the Nyx and Erebus or the Kronos and Rhea etc. Hyperion isn't adjourned with any others, lucky me. The activities consist of: Ancient Greek, ancient roman, arts and crafts, swordsmanship, archery, weapons making, makeshift fighting, hand-to-hand combat, history, scavenging, apprentice (this is the outside world choice or the becoming the assistant of onerous the head honchos), recreation (swimming, running, etc.), working (food harvesting), and a whole load more. My favorite is probably ritual and powers. It's where I learn to use my power of light (my dad is the Titan of light after all).
Overall camp is great, until a certain son of Ouranos comes to camp.
