HI, JBOSS1014 reporting here. I am here with the first official chapter of the story. But first, I would like to thank Wilhelm Wigworthy for the first review. I will always be grateful for GOOD reviews. And, I will be happy knowing that the first review was a good one. And, before I forget, this story takes place after Blood of Olympus (The book after House of Hades, that's coming soon)

Now, enough with the intro, let us jump right into the story.

Chapter 1:

I was born in East Orange, New Jersey. My mother raised me in an apartment near my school so I could always walk home. I was held back a year; and I was teased a lot because of my name and I kept getting into fights with the bullies. I was expelled from that school and spent the rest of the school year at home, playing nothing but a game of anticipation. I waited out the summer, waiting for my mother to put me in a different school. Finally, my mother had decided to put me in a school called East Orange Elementary. Of course, I got Ds and Cs because of my dyslexia, and my math teacher would humiliate me by putting books on my head every class and making me get her a cup of coffee. And, every time my back wasn't straight, and I wasn't looking forward she would shout: "Payton! You must be sick!" I ended up getting expelled because of drenching the math teacher with coffee. She blamed it on my ADHD. The teacher's last words before I stepped out of the gate were: "I hope you rot in the pits of Tartarus for all eternity." As far as I knew, I thought it was a bluff. I walked away from the school, actually enjoying walking of the property. I was now thinking of how I would break it down to my mother. I walked past an alley with a cat. I was fascinated by cats, I would marvel at their speed, composure and just everything about them. I learned from them. I tried copying them and doing a little parkour, I was getting better at it. I looked up at the sun and it was about 2:30 only two hours since I'd been kicked out of school. I looked down at my clothes, realizing they were full of sweat I decided to go home. Once I reached home, I broke the news to my mother and she was obviously not surprised. My mother said there is someone waiting for me in my room. Who could it be? I thought. I walked in and almost jumped to the ceiling when I saw a half man, half goat. "A-a satyr," I said. His top half was a buff man, muscular arms and he had horns sticking through his hair; and his chest was covered by an orange shirt that said 'Camp Half-Blood' on it. His lower half was the hind-quarters of a goat and some hooves that could kick you to Hades knows where. "Hello, Payton," the satyr said, "I am Grover." He grabbed my arm with a vice like grip and dragged me downstairs to a car that was waiting for us. I didn't complain until my mother didn't get in with us. "Mom?" "MOM?!" I said. "Payton, do you remember that camp I told you about?" asked his mother.

"Yeah."

"Grover and I talked and I agreed to send you . . . . it's- it's for your own good."

I could see the pain in her eyes "Will I ever be able to see you again?"

"I don't know." His mother said

"PAYTON, we need to go NOW!" shouted Grover.

I tried to keep cool as Grover dragged me away from my mother and into the car. I waved my hand to my mother while I shed a tear. My mother is the only person in the world that I would die for. My heart almost broke when I saw my mother crying while she was walking back to the apartment. I turned back to stare through the windshield, On my way to New York, huh? I thought. I watched in the rear view mirror as my home disappeared over the horizon; in the corner of my eye I saw a man with a club trying to hit the car. I thought it was nothing. I focused back to through the windshield. I was just realizing that my driver had eyes all over his body.

"Explain, NOW!" I shouted.

Grover flinched a bit but he explained everything. He explained why I had to go to camp, he explained everything that I wanted to know. I sat back in my seat and sighed. We passed through the border to New York, and it wasn't long until we reached a road that lead to hill with a pine tree on it. We stopped at the hill. I got out of the car and walked beside Argus with Grover behind us. Argus passed through the borders and I was abruptly stopped when I was sent into the air. "How could it be so fast!" was what I heard Grover say before I landed back first onto the ground with a loud thud. I groaned as I lay on the floor. I lifted my head to see my right abdomen bleeding dangerous amounts of blood. I tried to get up and winced before I fell back down. "Payton, GET UP!" Grover cried, "Argus, get help!" Argus obeyed.

I was lifted off the ground only to see one huge eye. I was thrown in the air like a rag doll before I got back my senses again. I saw the ugly beast about to swing when I landed smoothly on his head. I jumped off before I got squished, I was amused to see that he had hit himself on the head with his club. "YOU DARE MAKE ME HIT MY SELF!" The beast bellowed. I landed on the ground and winced again as I remembered my damaged abdomen. I fell. I saw the beast fully now, as he was walking up to me. He was about seven feet tall with only a loincloth as clothes, his skin was rough and hard like armor; his face was bumpy with one huge eye in the center of his forehead. A new feature was the newly added bruise on the top of his head, a gift from me of course.

Grover played a song on his flute and vines grew out of the ground and wrapped around the monster. I swiped his club and bashed away until he turned to dust. Then, I was hit in the air once again. And, the pain got worse as I landed back first on a tree trunk, then fell off the tree and landed face first on the ground. I heard a shout and a sound like an axe hitting wood, then, I blacked out from the pain.

I woke up to see a small room filled with beds, but mine was the only one that was occupied. I turned around to see a boy with black hair and green eyes looking out a window. He turned around. "Oh, you're awake." He said. I tried to reply but my mouth felt like it was full of cotton. "It's alight man, you don't have to say anything," he said chuckling. "I'm Percy by the way." I finally was able to speak "I'm Payton." My voice sounded hoarse, even to myself.

"That's a strange name for a boy, but I won't judge."

"Thanks, I don't need to be judged anymore than I already am."

"No, prob. Nectar?"

"Oh, thanks." He gave me a simple glassful of a syrup colored drink. I studied it warily.

"Don't worry, just don't drink too much or you'll burst into flames."

I raised and eyebrow at the drink while Percy chuckled. I shrugged and sipped it. My eyes widened as I tasted multiple things at once. I tasted my mother's banana fritters, my grandma's buttered biscuits, and lastly my mother's blueberry muffins. I felt sad when I finished the glass, reason one, because it reminded me of home and reason two, because I made me crave my mom and grandma's cooking. "It's alright man, here, have a square of ambrosia." I took it and chewed it slowly savoring the wonderful taste. I felt revitalized as I ate it and the pain in my side subsided, no, it was completely gone. I experimentally got up and I felt a bit light-headed but I could walk. "That's good." Percy said. "Now time to meet the camp director and the activities coordinator."

"Thanks for that, Percy." I said as we walked down a long hall, finally reaching a door. "You're welcome." He said smiling. I was happy to be outside again, it felt great. Percy gently guided me to a small rounded table with two men playing chess. One was a bearded man with a white shirt and a blue jacket, his lower half disabled in a wheel chair and covered by a blanket. The other man was pudgy he wore a flower design Hawaiian shirt with khaki shorts and leather sandals. He also smelled like grapes. I couldn't believe I could smell him from 15 feet away but I knew it was coming from him. Percy and I sat down at the table, "When did Mr. D start playing chess?" Percy asked. The pudgy man opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Percy "Anyway, this is the camp director Mr. D a.k.a. Dionysus." "And, yes he is indeed the real Dionysus." He said gesturing to the pudgy man; he paused so I could allow it to settle in that the man in front of me was the real Dionysus. He must've seen my wide eyes. He continued, "And, this is Chiron, the real Chiron, trainer of Hercules and all those other demigods, et cetera." The conversation was interrupted by Dionysus "And, I'm the God of Wine and Parties. Next time put that in Jackson. And, DON'T interrupt me," he said. Percy continued, "Of course Mr. D."

"And who are you, young man?" Chiron asked smiling.

"I am Payton, killer of Cyclopes." I said. Percy and Chiron chuckled at this.

"So, a joker, huh?" Mr. D said

"I did kill a Cyclops yesterday, right?"

"Yesterday? Payton, you've been out for two weeks." Percy said, worry obvious in his voice.

TWO WEEKS! I thought, a look of dread on my face.

"Yes, Payton. Two weeks. You had a broken nose, three broken ribs and six of your vertebrae were damaged. That means your central nervous system was damaged as well. If it weren't for the ambrosia and nectar Annabeth and Percy had been feeding you, your ribs and nose would still be broken and your nervous system would still be damaged. Luckily, it was just damaged, if it was ripped . . . . let's just say ambrosia and nectar can't fix that."

When he finished I realized that I was lucky, very, very lucky. "If you want a souvenir from battle, here." Percy said, handing me a large and blunt wooden stick with dried blood on it, it was my blood. I gingerly took it.

"Do you believe in Greek mythology, boy?" Mr. D asked

"Yes, I believe." I said

"Good." He said summoning a Coca-Cola can out of thin air. I flinched in surprise. They all chuckled. "I have a question . . . ."

"Yes, boy, what is it?" Chiron asked

"Why can't Chiron direct the camp by himself?"

Percy and Chiron looked at Dionysus while he gave an exasperated sigh. "Well, Mason." I glared at him, "I got a little lovey-dovey with a beautiful lady and my dad Zeus, grounded me, this is my punishment."

"Ok, Rhinoceros, see you later." I said

Dionysus' eyes glowed with purple rage, and suddenly I had fifty grapes in my mouth. "That'll teach to watch your mouth, Satan." He said coldly.

"Shut up, Avaricious." I said, knowing that 'avaricious' means greedy.

Dionysus glowed with a dark purple aura and in an instant I was on the floor, with Dionysus' hand to my throat. I lifted up my feet and kicked him off my body. He crashed through the wooden porch with a loud BOOM! CRACK! He bellowed with a deep rage and the porch exploded. I landed on the ground with a thud. Dionysus' eyes were glowing purple now. I got up shakily. "I wouldn't." He said angrily.

There was a blinding flash of light and suddenly I was standing in front of a tall bearded man with electric blue eyes that seemed to glow. He wore a simple blue suit with white lines running vertically on it; and in his hand was a long shaft of pure electric energy. "Father," said Dionysus.

"Dionysus, your punishment will be extend by three hundred years!" he boomed, "It will be extended for almost killing this boy for doing what you first did to him!" He boomed, pointing towards me. "As for you," he said his voice calming down, but still angry, "Your father shall claim you soon. And, take those grapes out your mouth, you look ridiculous." He said. I blushed. Turning to spit the grapes out of my mouth, I realized that everyone in the camp was here, looking at me. I blushed again. There was another flash of light, but it was a green light coming from my head. I looked up to see a green holographic image of a trident. Everyone gasped except for Zeus.

"Wha-" was all I got to say before Chiron shouted "Behold, Payton Drake, Son of Poseidon!" Everyone bowed except for Percy, Dionysus and Zeus. I wondered why Percy wasn't bowing. Wasn't he a camper as well? I didn't dwell on it, I would figure it out later. Then the pandemonium started. "Another Seaweed Brain, great!" I heard one say "He's so cute, just like Percy!" a girl squealed. "SILENCE!" Zeus boomed. It took a while but after a few more second of noise, it was quiet.

"This boy breaks the oath my brothers made." He said looking down at me "My brother, Poseidon pleads I do not kill him. Only three people in the meeting with the family agreed to kill him. Those three were Athena, Ares and I, Zeus." "The only reason I do not kill him is because it was voted against. If it were under different circumstances . . . . ."

"Alright, Zeus have you completed your speech?" asked Chiron.

"Yes. But two things before I go. Dionysus!"

"Yes, father?" Dionysus said in a rather nervous way.

"To avoid getting another hundred years added to your grounding, I suggest that you call ALL campers by their real names." Dionysus grumbled something about Zeus kissing his butt, but Zeus interrupted "What was that?" Zeus asked angrily raising an eyebrow at his son. "Nothing." Dionysus said nervously. "Good, then the second thing, Payton you're father would like to give you this." He gave me a four foot long double-edged blade, it was obviously made of bronze. The handle was wrapped in simple leather and the hilt was rounded. The blade itself was straight and about one inch across. It felt perfectly balanced in my hand. The light from the setting sun gave it an eerie glow. The sheath it came with was simple hard leather with a bronze trident on it, a belt was strongly sewed on it " The belt is magic it will conform to your body physique. You can also move the strap up and down the sheath, so you can wear it on your back as well. I should tell him thank you, yes?" Zeus asked.

"Yes." I said as I marveled at the gift.

"Then, that is all, goodbye." Zeus said as he teleported back to Olympus. Everyone went back to whatever they were doing, but as they did so, they chatted about my fight with Dionysus; making up their own versions and telling it to those who didn't see. Percy walked up to me his face was serious. "I am your brother, Payton." He said. I leaned back in surprised, although I gained back my wits, "I have a brother! Awesome!" I said. Percy smiled. A blonde girl walked up to Percy and kissed him. I gave her a wary glance. "Hi, I'm Annabeth." She said. Her face was beautiful and her grey eyes were startling. Her body was curvy. And, her legs looked athletic. I blushed when I realized I was staring at her face. "You must be Payton, right?"

"Um, yeah. Thanks for healing me." I said.

"You're welcome, glad to know I got a blonde Seaweed Brain to talk to." She said chuckling. Percy groaned.

"Well, who are you the daughter of?" I asked.

"Athena." She said. I now realized that the look in her eyes revealed that she was ready to receive any question, a true daughter of Athena. Wait a minute. I thought

"Athena is the daughter of Zeus, Poseidon is the uncle of Athena. So, Percy is the cousin of Athena. You are Percy's second cousin."

"The godly side doesn't count, Payton." They both laughed.

"Still, I'm the cousin of Athena, that's cool."

"May I remind you that Athena voted to kill you." Annabeth said.

"Oh, right." I said.

"Man, you're just like Leo." Percy said.

"Who's Leo?" I asked.

"That guy." Annabeth said, pointing toward a Spanish looking boy with curly hair getting knocked down buy a tall boy with blonde hair in a distant arena. I realized that I hadn't taken the time to take in my surroundings. There was a strawberry field with a group of satyrs playing flutes in the distance. I then saw a bunch of cabins shaped like the Greek alphabet's omega (Ω) the showers and toilets, the woods, a lake, an open-air Greek amphitheater, a place that looked like a dining area, a climbing wall with a bunch of lava flowing down it, an archery field, stables, an armory and behind me was the Big House, blue, four stories high and stuffed full of wine god.

I chuckled aloud at my inside joke. "What's so funny?" asked Annabeth. "Inside joke." I said in reply. "Oh." She said.

We reached the arena and Leo and the tall guy stopped practicing. "Hey guys." Leo said, "I've been working on my swordsmanship, can't always rely on a magic tool belt, right?"

"Yeah." Percy said. "Payton, this is Leo and Jason." He said pointing to the Spanish boy then the tall boy.

"Yo." Jason said

"Sup, cool name by the way," Leo said, while I glared at him.

"I wouldn't." Percy said, "This guy beat Mr. D in a fist fight."

"Well . . ." I trailed off at the end.

"How tall are you? And, how old are you?" Leo asked, his eyes narrowing.

"Thirteen and five feet five inches." I replied. Leo groaned, while everyone else laughed. "You're just an inch shorter than me." He mumbled, although everyone heard.

"Hey everyone." A girl's voice said. I looked over to where it came from, and saw a beautiful girl with purple, no, wait green, no, blue eyes. She was very, very curvaceous and her body was lean. Her hair was brown and long.

"Oh, this is Piper-" Annabeth said, but I finished the sentence before she could, "Daughter of Aphrodite."

"How did you know?" Percy asked.

"I can tell." I said, while snapping myself out my trance. She kissed Jason and hugged Leo, who was giving me a sly look, "Jealous?"

"Not me, man." I said, "She's beautiful, but I'm not jealous."

"So." Piper said nervously, obviously wanting to change the subject, "How's your day been, Payton?"

"Well, it's been boring so far, but I think I need to take a shower." I said sniffing my under arm. Everyone laughed.

"Well, I think you're lucky you woke up on a Monday." Jason said. "Why?" I asked.

"It gives you a little bit of time to train for Capture the Flag." He replied.

"What's that?" I asked.

"You'll find out soon enough." Percy said. Everyone chuckled at this.

"Why can't you tell me? Hades, screw it." I said.

"Woah, Drake you shouldn't be throwing names out like that." Leo said, "Wait, Drake, ha ha!" I gave him my full potential glare now. I was satisfied when he flinched. "Maybe, you shouldn't compare a son of Poseidon to a rapper." Jason said winking at me. I smiled while everyone laughed, it died down, "So, why can't I say names like that out loud."

"Names have power, Mini Seaweed Brain." Annabeth said, "If you say an immortals name like that, they'll instantly know you said it, and they can pinpoint your location and stuff like that."

"Oh." I said, "And, I think you shouldn't call me 'Seaweed Brain'."

"Why?" Annabeth asked.

"That's between you and Percy." I said, "Call me something else like . . . . Sea Boy."

"Alright, Sea Boy." Annabeth said, surprised that I allowed her to call me a nickname like 'Sea Boy'. "I know you don't mean to be a bully, so I'll allow you to." I said.

"Oh, I have a question." I said.

"Yeah?" Annabeth gestured for me to continue.

"Does Leo have a girlfriend?" I asked, while Leo sighed.

"Yes, I do. She's over there." He pointed to a girl with a cinnamon hair braided to the middle of her back, her face was beautiful and she was sparring with a dark skinned girl with brown curly hair. "Her name is Calypso." He said.

"How did she get off Ogygia?"

"Well Percy here . . . . . how do you know where she lived?"

"It's what my History book said in the Greek chapter." I said.

"So that's how you know everything." Percy said.

"So, are you going answer my question?" I asked.

"Oh, right."

Leo explained everything from he was on Ogygia to where they stopped Gaia from rising. Then, when Zeus offered Percy immortality for the second time, he declined, but he asked him for some favors; and bringing Calypso to Camp Half-Blood was one of them.

"I see." was all I said.

"Am I going to have to change into that?" I asked, realizing everyone was wearing an Orange shirt with 'CAMP HALF BLOOD' on it.

"Yes." Percy said, "Now, say bye, because you really need a shower." He said covering his nose. I said bye and Percy led me to the showers, he gave me fresh camp clothes, he even gave me new black boots to change into when I was done, and he said he would give me the official tour before dinner. I showered and it felt great to be cleansed again after two weeks, I even felt rejuvenated, guess it's one of the perks of being a son of Poseidon.

I put on my orange camp t-shirt, jeans, the boots Percy gave me and the grey jacket I was wearing before, then I got ready for the tour. I walked out of the bath and Percy was already walking from his cabin. "Ready for the tour?" he asked

"Yeah" I replied

"Alright, let's go."

"Since we're already here, these are the cabins. They are numbered from one to twenty, there's one for every god. There's Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Athena, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Demeter, Dionysus, Hestia, Iris, Nike, Hebe, Tyche, Hypnos and Morpheus. Not in any special order of course." He said, "It's shaped like the Greek alphabet's omega (Ω)."

"Cool. That's a lot of names, Percy, you sure you won't get tracked down." I said.

"Nah, it's me. The gods and me are cool with each other. I've proven myself, now, it's your turn."

"Ah, I see." I said

"Good."

He continue to show me the rest of the camp, I actually enjoyed the tour. He told me the correct names and everything. I was surprised that I had gotten the name Big House spot on before, I was just calling it that because it was, well . . . . Big. He ended the tour and said it was time for dinner, and as soon as he said it, the horn was sounded. We headed for the dining pavilion a.k.a. Mess Hall. I sat down beside Percy and he said that nymphs are going to feed us, not long after two nymphs came and put down our plates and cups in a millisecond; and in the same time they were gone. "Air nymphs." Percy said, "We say what we want and the food will magically appear." "Cheeseburger and Coca-Cola," Percy said. "Hamburger without cheese, fries and Coca-Cola." I said. In a flash, the food was there.

"You lactose intolerant?" Percy asked

"No, just allergic to cheese." I said

"Bummer. You can't taste pizza." He said.

"I don't really care." I said as Percy stared at me with wild eyes.

Percy got up with his plate and I followed suit. "Where are we going?" I asked.

"We're going to give some of our food to a god of our choice. They like the smell." Percy replied.

"You serious?" I said.

"Yep."

We walked all the way to the campfire to do the offering. It was twenty feet tall and it seemed to be gold. "What's up with the fire, Percy?" I asked.

"The fire represents the campers moods. When everyone is happy it's like this. If the were down, then it would be small and black or purple." He replied.

"Oh." I said.

There was a small girl tending to the flames. "Hello." I said. She replied with a smile. It didn't seem like anyone else noticed her. I pushed the thought out of my mind. Percy broke off half of his burger and threw it in the campfire. "To Poseidon." He said. I broke off half of my burger and scraped off half of my fries and said, "To Poseidon." Some Aphrodite girls waved at me before we sat down. I waved back and sat back down and we ate the food in record time. "Time for the sing-along." Percy said as I followed him to the amphitheater.

I followed him to the amphitheater and half the camp was already there. The campfire was crackling with energy. The Apollo cabin led the sing-along. Percy said that they usually lead the sing-alongs. We sang 'Helm, spaulders, greaves and boots' which was a copy of the Christian song 'Head, shoulders, knees and toes.' The end line was 'Hephaestus made them all.' We sang a bunch of other songs and it was soon time for bed. I claimed top bunk before Percy did. "It's cool." He said. Our cabin was long and low roofed. It was concrete painted over with peach to make it look like sand, the outside wall was covered in seashells and the roof was a sea green color. I walked in with Percy behind me. I smiled when I saw the bunk bed by the wall, set with seashell designs sheets and pillows. I looked to the back of the room and there was a stagnant pool with a rainbow. "Perfect for IMs." Percy said, "Iris Messages."

"Ah, Iris, the goddess of the rainbow." I said.

"Yes."

Percy changed into a white shirt and some plain pajama pants. He gave me a red shirt he said he had from when he came into camp. It fit perfectly. I was going to sleep in my boxers, so I didn't worry about putting on pants. I got in bed as Percy turned off the light. "Night, bro." I said.

"Night, bro." He said. Just the fact that he called me bro meant that he accepted me as a brother. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

My dream was vivid that night. I stood on Mount Diablo, I saw a girl with spiky hair and silver clothes tied to a wooden pole, she screamed to someone "How dare you! I will kill you!" she shouted "Oh really, girl." A male voice boomed, "I'd like to see you try." He laughed.

"Then let me go and let's see what happens." She said.

"No thank you, girl, you are only bait for the son of Poseidon and that Jason kid." He said. He stepped out of the gloom and he was thirty feet tall. His top half was humanoid, he had bronze armor decorated with a flame design. He had dreadlocks decorated with bones woven through them, possibly taken from former demigods he had killed. His skin was bronze and his eyes were marble white. Below his waist he had dragon legs and he had claws for feet. His weapon was a spear about the size of a flagpole. "Jason . . . ." the girl said with dread in her voice. The giant laughed. "Don't worry, your brother's death will be quick." He said.

"No! NO! NO!" The girl screamed. Her eyes filled with tears.

The giant continued, "And, your precious Seaweed Brain will die by the hands of another."

"Let me go, NOW!" she screamed.

"Your commands will not work, girl." He said, "Did I mention there is another son of Poseidon now?"

"What?!" the girl said.

"Yes, he will come to rescue you as well, only to be killed by the other one I was talking about, my brother, Polybotes."

"Finally, you announce my presence, Enceladus." Boomed a voice.

Another thirty foot tall giant walked out of the gloom. His legs were similar to a Komodo dragon's. From the waist upwards, he had green blue armor; and he also had a breastplate with faces of monsters as decoration. He had a human face with wild green hair that had basilisks hanging down from it.

"No . . . ." the girl whispered, "Percy, Jason, please . . . . don't die saving me."

Don't worry . . . . I said in my head . . . . We'll save you soon.

Well, that's it for now, please give me some OCs. PLEASE, I know I said I would make my own IF you didn't make any. But, I would rather that they come from you. Please put OCs in reviews or PM Inbox. Some information for the giant's description was taken from . . And, if you have any questions PM me or review. In conclusion, Hope you enjoyed, BYE.
