Chapter 1

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

Annabeth: "Isn't that a total rip off of A Tale Of Two Cities?"

Yes it is. Now, do you want to get erased from this story or not?

Annabeth: " Sorry..."

Anyways, it was like that. This was a time of chaos, and it was a time of adventure...

Thud. Phoenix heard his heart beating hard. Thud. The thing was getting closer. Thud. He ran. The thing was a bird. A lot of big ugly birds. And they started to shoot their feathers at him. So he decided to use his only weapon. A metal trash can lid.

The battle was a humiliating experience, even though there was no one around. The first few feathers glanced out of the can with a metal ping, so he looked down to see what exactly it was. Turns out it's a metal feather. Typical. But in that instant, one of the feathers sliced threw the lid creating a eeee sound, and sliced Phoenix right on the top right shoulder. And it hurt. A lot. Turns out, The feather was poisoned. The last thing he remembered was seeing a guy with horns scream a terrifying noise, scattering the birds away. Then he fainted.

When Phoenix finally woke up, he was in a big tent. A really big tent, actually, with a lot of injured people like himself in comfortable beds.

"Hey, where is this place?" he asked one of the people next to him, who was lying down with a splint on his foot.

"This is camp half-blood, boy, and you have some explaining to do."

Phoenix rolled around, facing the person who spoke to him. When he faced him, he realized that he was a Man-Horse, one of those idiotic crazy dudes from the woods. Except he seemed more... sane. So he decided to speak to him.

"Like what, Man-Horse?" He asked.

"Come, follow me to the big house. And I'm not a Man-Horse, I'm a centaur named Chiron." The Man-Horse said.

A/N: Sorry that was such a short chapter. I hope you enjoyed it!
