Percy Jackson woke up, feeling nauseous. He couldn't remember who he was. He looked around, not knowing where he was. He looked like he was in a cabin of some sort, except this was no ordinary cabin.
He was at the bottom of a bunk bed when he woke up, looking around. The cabin was lined with weapons – swords, maces, javelins, and much more. Everything was decorated in dark blue, and there was a statue of a muscled man with a lightning bolt in his hand. He had piercing blue eyes, and under the statue it said "Jupiter." Zeus, his subconscious told him.
"Where am…"
He was stopped by two teens that came into the room. They looked thin and spindly, but had eyes that basically said, if you mess with me I'm going to egg your cabin. Their smiles said the same thing. Hermes, he thought, though he had no idea how he knew that.
The taller one said, "No, Leroy, you did not just steal that girl's beret." The shorter one said, "Yes I did, Jack! I have proof, watch this. Hey Jason." The tall one paused and said, "Wait, that's not Jason." They looked at Percy with concern.
"Yeah, this one's a newcomer. Do you know him?"
"Nope."
"We should bring him to Lupa."
Percy said, "I'm sorry, who are you? Where am I? What's going on?" The other two boys, Leroy and Jack, kept talking about a woman named Lupa. "Alright, let's go," Leroy, said.
"Where are we going?"
"To see Lupa. Stand straight and show power. Lupa might classify you as weak, and you know what that means," Jack said. Percy did not know what that meant, but judging by their expressions, it looked like weakness was smelled, chased, and eaten by animals.
"Gee, can't wait to see Lupa," Percy said.
"Don't show disrespect, or she might eat you," Jack said. Percy thought he was joking, but his face was dead serious, which looked like it was uncommon for him.
As they passed through the camp, Percy could not think right. He did not even notice how amazing the camp was. Once they reached a very large forest, a wolf came out. Leroy and Jack said, "Good morning, Lupa."
The moment he saw Lupa was a wolf, two things ran through his head. The first thing was, are you kidding me? Their counselor is a wolf? The second thing was something that Jack had said minutes ago, and that was, Stand straight and show power. Percy stood up, fearless on the outside, feeling dumb on the inside.
Lupa dismissed Jack and Leroy with a nod of the head. The two boys ran away from the scene, looking like they were going to be late for a class.
"You shouldn't be here. Juno plays a mighty gamble by sending you here," she said.
Percy did not know what this meant, but he had the feeling he was part of a conspiracy, a bigger picture. He was being used. He also had the feeling that whoever Juno was, she was going to be a very important part in Percy's life.
Lupa nodded, as if this all made sense to her. The next words she said scared Percy so badly, he almost showed weakness.
The words she said were, "If Juno's plan fails, as it probably will, you demigods will tear each other apart. Come, Percy, let us see which god will claim you."
Percy walked away from the forest with Lupa, somehow knowing that he was one of the deadly demigods and that this Jason kid was involved.
As he scanned the camp he gasped, not recognizing any of the view. He knew this was an important place, a camp, and a training center. He knew he did not belong here, that he was from a different bloodline. He knew he was Greek, and some memories were coming back to him. He said one word, one crucial word that would give him an outlook on how difficult his life would become.
"Romans," Percy gasped.
