I stared blankly at the invitation. Had it really been 10 years since my sixteenth birthday, the day my friends and I defeated the Titan Lord, Kronos? Well, obviously it had been because I was almost 26, but it was still a shock. You're probably wondering what in the world is Camp Half-blood. Well, it's a camp for half-bloods, or children of gods and humans. Yes, those gods. The GREEK gods, like Zeus, Hermes, Apollo, all that jazz. Oh, and of course my dad, Poseidon, the earth-shaker.
I had first discovered that I was a half-blood when I was twelve. At first, I was kind of freaked out, especially since I had just been attacked by a Minotaur and lived to tell the tale. But after a while, I got used to the idea. I ended up being the child of a prophecy that was made about a war between the titans and the gods, but I luckily made the right decision and Olympus was saved. That was 10 years ago. As I stared at the invitation, I wondered what camp was like now. Who was still alive? What had happened to everyone?
"Hon, what came in the mail?" a voice called from the kitchen. That would be my girlfriend, Annabeth. Annabeth and I have been dating since I was sixteen, and these have been the best sixteen years of my life. In fact, they were so good that I was planning on proposing to her. I mean, I know we're young, but when you're a half-blood, you aren't really sure of your survival, so everything comes early in life.
I called back, "We got a letter from Chiron. It's an invitation to all of us who fought in the war to come together for a reunion". I walked in the kitchen and gave the letter to her, sneaking my arm around her as I moved and pulling her towards the couch so we could sit. As Annabeth read, I studied her. How gorgeous she looked, almost the same as she did ten years ago, though she had gained certain… assets that, as a guy, I thank the gods for.
"Oh, we have to go! It's going to be so much fun! Do you think Tyson is going to come? And Grover? What about Nico and all of our other friends?" she exclaimed. Just so you know, Tyson is my half brother and a Cyclops. If your shocked, imagine how I was when I first met him. Grover is the Lord of the Wild, and a saytar to bat. Nico is another half-blood, a son of Hades. Annabeth was a daughter of Athena, by the way.
I smiled at her. She looked so beautiful. As she looked up, she gave me a kiss, one that I learned meant, "I love you so much and I am so happy right now" At that moment, I knew that it was the time to make a decision. And I chose the obvious.
"Okay. I'm excited too. But first, before we go, I think you should have something to show, something really cool. I happen to have just the thing" I cheesily said. Annabeth looked at me with a bemused smile and replied, "Well, go get it Seeweed Brain!"
I brought her over to the sink. "Tyson helped me make this, so he's going to send it up as soon as I i.m. him." I created a rainbow, something that I learned how to do as a son of posiedon, and called Tyson. As soon as he saw me, he shouted, "Now brother?" "Yeah, buddy, now would be a good time. Send it up." Tyson smiled and closed the iris- message. A few seconds later, a velvet box came out of our water faucet and fell into my out-stretched hand.
I got down on one knee and looked up into Annabeth's surprised face. "Annabeth Chase, I have loved you from the day we met fourteen years ago and these have been the happiest years of my life. I want that to continue for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?"
Annabeth pulled me up. She stared directly into my eyes and teased, "Its about time Seeweed Brain."
Let's just say that this was the best kiss of my life.
