Hey guys. I have been reading a lot of the Percy Jackson books lately and I have started reading some of the fanfiction. I thought I'd give it a try. I wanted to have a story that was a little more original so I'm adding my own characters into the story. This is my first story so please give me some feedback and let me know if you'd like to have another chapter.

Chapter 1: The Search Begins.

New school year:

"I'm telling you Grover is going to mess this up."

"Don't worry about Grover. I am going to Yancy Academy to see who this half-blood is."

"It's not fair. I am much better at seeking out half-bloods than he is."

"Your time will come."

Chiron always says that. I have been looking for half-bloods to recruit for only a few years now and I bet I would be better at it than Grover. He always manages to find the most powerful half-bloods but he always fails in bringing them back. Grover and I have known each other for some time now and we've always had the same passion to seek Pan, but we're not old enough so we have to find half-bloods. Grover left last year and he thinks he's found an extremely powerful half-blood. He seems to be really good friends with him because every time I send him an Iris message he talks about how much awesome he is. I have a feeling something is going to go wrong and recruiting Percy won't be as easy as he thinks it is.

"There is another school you could go to. You found some half-bloods there last year. Maybe you should go back there to see if you missed any."

Chiron thinks that I'm not experienced enough, so he keeps on sending me to this one school for training.

"Sure," I said a bit disappointed. If you haven't realized by now, I'm a Satyr.

The next day I left to go to Kando prep. It's this boarding school were all the teachers have a positive attitude and a revolutionary way of learning. At least that's what everybody said when I was there last year. It wasn't too far away from camp so Argus brought me there. I went to my usual room, since I had been going here for quite some time now everybody knew me and I was treated as a normal student. The search begins.

After a few days I started getting used to being a normal student. I know everybody but nobody seems to remember me.

"I'm never going to find another half-blood here," I thought. The day seemed very normal for our first hour. We had Math which was so boring I almost fell asleep. The downside of having to go to a school to look for half-bloods is that you need to act like a normal student.

Everything changed the next lesson. As I walked in I only had one spot to sit, all the way in the back. Someone was sitting next to me. I looked at him and I sensed there was something special about him. He could be the half-blood that can change my life.

"Hi," I said "My name is Simon."

"Hey, I'm Alexander Mayfield."

This one is a half-blood. I just know it, I have a feeling that this one is special. I've found half-bloods before but none of them seem as powerful as this one.

"Will you be my friend?" He asked. I was a bit surprised to hear that because that's exactly what I needed. In order to get Alexander to the camp I need to have him trust me.

"Sure," I said

"Thank God," he said sounding very relieved. He wouldn't be saying that anymore once I brought him to camp. "I've never had many friends in my previous school," he said.

"Is this the first year here?"

"Yeah, I was kicked out of my older schools. A lot of weird stuff always happened and I'd end up getting blamed for it. My Mom and I moved here a week ago."

"Perfect." I thought to myself.

"You in the back be quiet." A woman with short grey hair and an ancient face said, I didn't recognize her. "Richard please hand out these permission slips for our field trip to the Great South Bay Bridge."

Richard is one of the spoiled rich kids that only creates problems behind the teachers back and then blames it on you. He has a whole gang of people which is basically all the guys in the school. Wait a second are we going on a field trip? This is a good opportunity to get Alexander to camp. I hope nothing gets in the way.

Alexander asked what class we had next.

"We have workshop," I said. His face lit up.

"I love workshop. It's the only class that I'm good in." We walked over to the class and the teacher announced that since it was the first lesson of the year we get to build whatever we want. Alexander ran of somewhere and started building something. I had no idea what to do so I ended up acting like I was helping Benedict. Benedict was a classic nerd. He wore his pants up to his bellybutton, with a tucked in shirt and glasses that were almost as thick as Richard. The bell rang and Alexander walked over to me.

"What did you build," I asked

"A birdhouse." He showed me a birdhouse which looked more like a bird mansion to me.

"How did you manage to do this in one hour?" I asked bewildered.

"I've always been very good at building things." He answered.

"Let's go." The rest of the day was just like a normal day at Kando Prep. Richard bullying helpless kids, including Benedict and the other geeks. that night in my room I sent an Iris message to Chiron.

"I found one." I said

"Good. I told you you'd find one."

"There's a field trip next week, should I bring him to camp then?"

"Do it. Do you think there are any monsters in the school."

"There's a new teacher but I don't suspect she's a monster. How's it going with Grover?"

"Very well. I think we've found a very powerful one here." The Iris message disconnected. I had to get Alexander to camp on the field trip. Time to prepare.

That was the first chapter. Hoped you like it and please review.
