Life was normal for Markus David Cloy, he was your normal 14 year old boy with short black hair and brown eyes who lives with his mom and step dad in Boston,but that all changed when summer he was walking back home from his last day of school a kid about the age of a high school senior with crutches came up to him to him and talked to him

"Hi my name's Tim" he said with a awkward smile trying to look nice

"Uh, hi" Mark said awkwardly

Tim started to tell him that he is more special then he thinks he is and that his heritage goes more beyond his imagination.

"Are you sure?Cause my mom's a psychologist and my dad's a carpenter."

"What about your real dad?"Tim asked

"How do you know that?" Mark said baffled since he never had talked to him before.

"Because your dad was a god"

Mark started to wonder if his mom could help him since he knew he was probably mentally insane

"Are you ok there Tim?" Mark said

"I'll give you prove, did you ever see something out of the ordinary but other people didn't, and whenever you see some latin can you understand it even though you never studied latin"

Those things have happened to Mark, when he went on a field trip in 5th grade he swore he saw a monster but no one believed him,also remembered that in 7th grade his history teacher had a poster with 3 latin words that said Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades but he was the only one in the class except the teacher that knew what it said.

"Yeah sometimes"

"That's because you can see through the mist, and your brain is hardwired for latin"

"Still don't believe you Tim"

"Well you leave me no choice" Tim said as he pulled Mark into a alley where no would see them

"Hey why the hell did you-"Mark stopped mid sentence as Tim took off his shoe to reveal a hoof and pulling up his pants to reveal fur.

Mark stood in horror thinking about punching him and running for his life until Tim spoke.

"Is that enough proof for you and i'm not going to hurt you, i'm here to escort you to a camp for kids like you called Camp Half-Blood since at this age monsters come to try and find mom got a letter from the camp this morning for you to come, so you wanna go"

This was a lot for Markus to handle, but he was also excited since one of his favorite subjects in school was learning about greek mythology.

"Sure, let me go to my house to pack"

They walked to his house which wasn't far and went inside where his mom was waiting.

"Markus there's a lot i got to tell you" she said in a calming voice

She told him how she met his father in a psychology class and how she stole his heart with facts about the mind.

"So what was his name" Mark said

"He was hypnos the god of sleep"

Tim started to giggle and looked at Mark "really, cause he doesn't look tired"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Mark said

"Well most of the kids in the hypnos cabin sleep all day and you look pretty well rested, well to be fair there's only 3 hypnos kids so i can't judge."

"Well i think it makes perfect sense, he went to a psychology class with my mom and i really REALLY LOVE HYPNOSIS"

"Really how many people have you hypnotized?" Tim asked

"Um… 0"

"Oh"

"Well i think it's time we get to camp Mark the bus taking us should be here in a hour so you should get packing" Tim said

Mark went to his room to start packing, he brought books on how to hypnotized, a photo with his family, comics about spiderman and his lucky pocket watch signed by the hypnotist Jon Waynes.

"Ok i think i'm ready" Mark said as he hugged his mom goodbye and leaving for camp half trip was pretty calm and safe as the reached for camp half blood. When they got there Mark was amazed at how beautiful it looked with a beautiful beach a big house and 20 cabins.

As they walked around with Tim showing him the camp a holographic eye appeared above Mark "Um.. what's above me" he said nervously

"Oh that happens when god's claim their children it happens often and speaking of your dad" There were in front of a cabin made of mud they entered the room the hologram disappeared Mark felt a wave of tiredness and relaxation coming through him and he saw 3 kids sleeping

"This is your cabin" Tim said looking tired "Clovis! You got a new brother"

Clovis woke up rubbing his eyes and looking at Mark

"Well see you latter" Tim said exciting the cabin

"Hi i'm Clovis"

"Hey i'm Mark"

"So let me tell you what we normally do around here, we sleep all day"

"Sounds very productive"

"The other 2 kids are Randy and Jessie, so what do you like to do"

"Well i LOVE hypnosis and i'm probably not going to sleep all day in this cabin"

"Oh that's fine and maybe i can teach you a thing or 2 about hypnosis, welcome to cabin 15" Clovis said shaking Marks hand and going to sleep, Mark unpacked in a unused bed and started reading his hypnosis book, he had a feeling he would like it here.
