Profiles
Zoë-The only known child of Artemis to ever exist. She is 14 yrs old. She has midnight black hair with a big fringe over her eyes, even when her hair's tied up, and silvery blue eyes. Her talents are archery, swordsmanship, hunting, animal taming, knife fighting and throwing and just general fighting. She doesn't know who her mortal parent is and only recently found out she is a daughter of Artemis. She's lived her whole life inside Camp Half-Blood except for a few quests.
Melissa-Daughter of Apollo. She is also 14. She has honey blond hair that's always in 2 plaits and golden brown eyes. Her talents are archery, healing and knife throwing. She is terrible at swordsmanship and knife fighting, though her archery is the best in the camp. Her mother died just after she was born so her father Apollo brought her to Camp Half-Blood. She's always known who her dad is and is Zoë's been her best friend since they were little.
Anthea-Daughter of Demeter, also 14. She has dark brown hair that's always in a long ponytail and emerald green eyes. Her talents are plant growing, poisoning, cooking, knife fighting and swordsmanship. She is really, really bad at archery. Her father is a landscaper in California called Hank Smith. She came to Camp Half-Blood when she was 8 because she found out she was Demeter's daughter and monsters started pestering her. She's best friends with Zoë and Melissa.
Nyx-Daughter of Hades, also 14. She has long, jet black hair and black eyes. Her talents are swordsmanship, knife fighting, tracking and karate. Her mother died when she was little and she can't even remember her mum's name. She's been living on the streets since she was little and found her way to camp when she was 9 with the help of a satyr. She hasn't been allowed on a quest since she came to camp because she attracts too many monsters. She's a bit of a loner and her only friends are Zoë, Melissa and Anthea, though they are inseparable.
Zoë yawned and got out of bed, wondering when the hunters would next be here, here being Camp Half-Blood. She was very lonely in the big silver cabin by herself and the only time she had company was when the hunters of Artemis where here. She got dressed and tidied up a bit. Cabin inspections where today and she and Nyx had made a bet, if she got a 5 on her inspection paper every week for a month than Nyx would give her 100 golden drachmas. Zoë couldn't wait. Unfortunately though, Anthea would be doing the cabin inspections today. On the last week too! At least Nyx had said if she won, she wouldn't want any money, just information. On the "Outside", as she liked to call it. Oh well. Nyx always won in her bets. Anthea's a neat freak and the slightest of imperfection can be found and commented on by her. Nobody ever gets a 5 out of 5 when she's doing cabin inspections. Apart from that, she was also one of Zoë's best friends.
'Zoë! Get your but out of bed! We've got a meeting!' came a harsh voice outside her cabin.
'Coming Lissa!' shouted Zoë. Lissa, short for Melissa, was her long time best friend. They'd come to Camp around the same time, when they were little kids, and were practically sisters.
'Hurry up!' Lissa shouted back. 'Do you WANT to be late again?'
Zoë chose at that moment to rush out, right into Lissa.
'No, so maybe we should get going?' asked Zoë. Lissa nodded, dumbfound, as she got up and walked after the already far ahead Zoë. Zoë smiled. She hoped it was about the hunters.
The meeting consisted of all the cabin leaders meeting together with Chiron to discuss quests and other such things. Zoë had always gone, ever since she could remember, being the only camper for the Artemis cabin ever alive. Her friends Nyx, Anthea and Lissa were all cabin leaders too.
'Alright,' Chiron began as everybody settled around the ping pong table. 'First order of business is the Gods have sent a quest to us.'
'What!' shouted everybody at once. There had never been anything like this at camp before.
'The Gods have ordered that 5 people go on a quest to find a demigod that they say is extremely powerful. They don't know who the demigod's godly parent is. There are too many possibilities. I want you too volunteer to go on this mission. Just remember, there can only be 5 people going on this quest.'
'But Chiron! Why 5? Isn't that really dangerous? Oh! And I'd like to volunteer,' exclaimed Anthea, half anxiously, half excitedly.
'The gods have ordered there be specifically 5 people. No arguing, and yes, you may go on the quest, Anthea.'
'Me too!' shouted Zoë and Lissa at the same time. They shared a look, then burst out laughing.
'Yes. You 2 can come too.'
'Some how your making it sound like a picnic!' exclaimed Zoë.
'No no no! It will be extremely dangerous! Not like a picnic at all!'
'No, I meant…never mind…' mumbled Zoë.
There was a silence as Chiron looked around. 'No more takers? I'll have to ask the rest of the camp then.'
'Can I go?' asked a quiet voice. 'Please!'
'Nyx? But you'd just attract monsters and endanger the group!' exclaimed Chiron anxiously.
'But when we find the demigod, it won't matter 'cause they'll be just as strong as me, if not stronger!' argued Nyx.
'But...you can't…but!' Chiron argued back feebly.
'You know I'm right,' said Nyx, simply. 'You just don't want me to go. Please can I go, Chiron! Please!'
'Yeah! Anthea, Lissa and I will take good care of her! Please!' interrupted Zoë.
"Yeah!' chorused Anthea and Lissa.
'I…I…ok.' said Chiron sadly. 'Fine.'
'Yes!' yelled Zoë, Lissa, Anthea and Nyx, all at the same time.
'Now who'll be the 5th person?' Chiron asked, distractingly.
'I will be,' said a voice from the doorway. 'I'll go.'
'Hex? You want to go?' asked Chiron. 'Are you sure?'
'Yep. I'm sure.' he replied. Hex was a guy from, surprise surprise, Hecate's cabin. He was the camp's best spell caster but didn't want to be to be the cabin leader, though he easily could be. He didn't like going on quests, but had been on a few, and kept mostly to himself. He's tall for his age, 15, and has light blond hair and bright blue eyes. Nyx had only told Zoë, Anthea and Lissa this, but she had a major crush on him. Figures though, the loner likes the loner. She blushed slightly when he said he'd come, but it had quickly disappeared.
'Ok!' said Chiron excitedly. 'We have our quest takers! Please know that if you die, we'll miss you!'
'Chiron!' shouted everyone all at once.
'Go get packed, leave and good luck. Remember to take plenty of arrows, ambrosia and nectar! Be careful and bring back the demigod!'
'Um…Chiron? Who is the demigod? I mean…what's their name?' asked Anthea, the first one with the sense to ask.
'Oh! Their name is Lex. No, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl and no, I don't know what they look like and no, I don't know who their godly parent is, as I've already told you.' said Chiron, answering all the questions they had before they asked them.
'Ok! We're going!' said Zoë, moving backwards. slowly edging to the door, then sprinting out to her cabin. The others went to theirs' and started packing. They met at Thalia's tree and began to argue.
'We should go to N.Y. first!' said Zoë, happy they were going on a quest.
'No, to Manhattan!' exclaimed Anthea. 'That seems most logical!'
'No, definitely San Francisco!' argued back Lissa.
'What about Canada?' said Hex quietly.
'Shut up!' screamed everyone else.
'Hey! What's going on here?' asked a very surprised Nyx. Her friends didn't usually fight. At least, not like this.
'We're calmly deciding where to look first.' said Zoë, with a straight face.
'Calmly! I could hear you down in the big house!' laughed Nyx. 'Chiron just told me that the Gods did tell him where the demigod currently lived.'
'An address!' exclaimed Lissa excitedly.
'Ha! I wish! Just the state, I'm afraid. They're in Canada!' said Nyx, still laughing.
'Told you.' said Hex quietly, kind of shocked that Nyx had laughed. She normally looked so stoic.
'Shut up!' yelled Zoë, Anthea and Lissa again, while Nyx burst into another fit of laughter.
'Come on, then.' said Nyx, struggling to stop laughing. 'We got to get going!'
'All right! Road trip!' shouted Zoë, excitedly while Nyx fell over, laughing, and rolled down the hill. 'Uh…make that ROLL trip!' she said, looking at Nyx rolling down the hill, still laughing. 'What the hey!' and with that, she too rolled down the hill laughing. Anthea and Lissa looked at each other, laughed, and rolled down too. Hex shook his head, smiled, and ran down the hill to catch up.
At the bottom of the hill, there was a van waiting for them. They looked at each other.
'Dibs front seat!' announced Anthea. She always got front seat on quests because of her being the chef and having an extensive knowledge of poisons. 'Whose gonna drive?'
'I will!' said Zoë, happily. 'I know how to drive now!' she announced proudly.
'It's not gonna be like last time, is it? I think you almost drowned Nyx in the lake!' exclaimed Lissa.
'I have my license. I could drive.' said a quiet voice. Hex had just arrived to hear them arguing about who would drive and how terrible Zoë is at driving. He'd been swimming in the lake when Zoë had crashed into it. He didn't want a repeat of that anytime soon, if ever. The others looked at him surprised.
'But…your only 15, right?' asked Lissa. He nodded. 'Don't you have to be 16 to get a license?'
'Um…yes, but they don't check…'replied Hex, slightly embarrassed.
'Oh! Child of Hecate! I'm so smart!' exclaimed Zoë, proud of herself for figuring it out first, or so she thought.
'No, they just thought I looked 16 when I went there with my friend.' Hex's embarrassment deepened into a blush.
'You have a friend?' asked Nyx, then realising what she'd said and blushing, 'I m-m-mean…you don't talk to anyone at camp or anything, so…' her blush deepened as Hex laughed, a deep, rumbling sound, and said,
'This is a friend from outside the camp. I meat him before I came here and I visit him every so often.' He laughed again as Nyx's face turned to a look of confusion. 'Your face is so funny! You should look at yourself!' He continued laughing, then the others looked at Nyx as she began blushing again and laughed too.
'Can we go now?' asked Nyx, walking to the van, still blushing. Everyone nodded, and still laughing, headed for the van.
'Yeah! Now it really is a road trip! To Canada, Sir!' shouted Zoë excitedly. Her thoughts briefly flashed back to the hunters, but she was too distracted to think properly about anything but the quest.
'I do believe you mean ma'am, Zoë' said Anthea teasingly.
'Hey! I do believe in you walking!' exclaimed Hex, highly offended, but teasing them back.
'Sorry…ma'am…' replied Anthea meekly.
'That's it!' said Hex, not entirely teasing, as he swerved to the side of the road and stopped. 'Get out!' he said, but ruined it by grinning. He drove back to the lane he had just been in and continued driving.
'Back on the road trip!' Zoë shouted. 'Yay!' this time, everybody but Zoë laughed and she looked at them questioningly. 'What? What's so funny?'
