My name is Tori Von Kurtz, and this is our story.

Yes, that was cheesy. Yes, I said our. You'll learn who the rest of the others are later, for now let me give you some background.. Greek Gods are real, and so are their mortal children "demigods". Although if you're reading this, you probably are one, as I wrote this in Greek. Hey! If mortals knew of this kind of stuff was real, then all the gods and humans would go into chaos again! A-gain. Whoops, I'm getting off topic. But yeah, if you can read this, then you're 99.99% likely to be a demigod. The other .01% might be the next Oracle, or what ever. Not likely really.

As I said before, my name is Tori Von Kurtz, and I'm a demigod. I am fourteen years old... and I'm the daughter of one of the most hated one of the gods. Tori Von Kurtz, Daughter of Hades. I've been at Camp Half Blood for about a year now, since I turned the age of thirteen. Camp Half blood is one of the only two camps for Demigods on Earth, the other being for the children of Roman Gods called Camp Jupiter. I was brought to camp at the age of thirteen, the age that all demigods are brought to camp. Well. Not all. Some are lucky and are not found by a satyr, also known as a guardian, until later. Thirteen is when your scent suddenly gets stronger and monsters start coming after you. Puberty is great, huh?

Anyway. I was found by my own saytr, Julia when I was in the eighth grade. We became friends, but when a monster got a little too close for comfort, she brought me to Camp Half Blood. Grueling trip.. Camp Half Blood is in New York, and I lived in Los Angeles. So yeah that sucked. I was claimed in less than a month, since the "Big Three" (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades) have a good reputation of claiming their children fairly quickly. I had been on my own, headed towards the camp fire we have every night. After having taken my seat with the Hermes cabin, we began our weird camp fire sing-a-longs. The entire camp fell silent and there was a little glow above me, and a tried to reach for it. Could be a faerie right? Gods were real. A Hermes kid gripped my arm and shook his head, putting his finger to his lips. A coin appeared above my head, presenting a purple aura and the image of Hades Helm of Darkness.

That's how I was claimed. Kids were amazed that I was a child of Hades, and honestly so was I. My friend called me the "Brightest Child of Hades the camp has ever seen". Since my claiming I've been spending my lonely days in the Hades cabin. Sometimes the days aren't so lonely, because my half-brother Nick Di Angleo or "The Ghost King" comes around. He's a dork, and is technically older than me, but he's a sweetheart sometimes. We don't get along that well.. But we stick together, being the only children of Hades left.

So, that's me. Ill get to the descriptions of myself and my friends in just a minute. Let me tell you.. about my eclectic little family..

»» POV Change :: Third Person ««

Tori stood on the grass near the edge of Camps grounds, holding her daggers, staring at the girl who stood near a tree. Her long blonde hair was cascaded down her shoulders. Instead of a camp shirt and jeans, the young woman wore a skull-pattern black dress, a pentagram necklace around her throat. Sara Call, Daughter of Nyx, stood before her friend with her weapon of the month. Tori couldn't find the right weapon, and as good as she was with a bow, it didn't feel right in her hands.

"Sara, are you sure you're okay with being the target?" The Daughter of Hades questions, brushing her ginger hair away from her eyes.

The blonde rolled her eyes. "Tori, you asked me to help you with the weapons. The Hephasteus cabin is too busy to make you a custom weapon right now, after the Capture the Flag game last night."

Giving a dramatic sigh, she readied her first blade. "If one gets too close then tell me." She flung her first blade towards the young woman. It hit a few feet above the tree trunk. With a nod of acknowledgement from Sara, Tori flung the next blade, hitting near the blondes head.

"How does it feel in your hands?" Sara asked, her hands on her hips. There was a thunk as the next blade hit a different tree, completely off course.

Shaking her head, Tori took a blade and tossed it up in the air. Catching it by the handles she continued to send it up into the air once more. "Its.. I don't know. I handled knives back in LA but this isn't the same, I mean-" The girl let out a cry of pain, holding her hand.

Sara giggled and walked over, examining the girls palm. A cut was down the center of her palm from the blade. "You need to stop doing that."

"But it's fun." Tori stuck her tongue at the girl and picked up the blade. She huffed at it and placed it back in the holster.

The two girls made their way to the infirmary to get a bandage. People who were walking to their next activity or just wandering walked out of their way, causing Tori's happy stride to turn into almost a trudge. Her shoulders slumped, and a black aura radiated from her frame, small but noticeable. Nyx's daughter would have put her hand on her friends shoulder, but anything that came close to the aura had the life sucked out of it.

"Tori, c'mon. It's just the fear from the legends." Sara reassured.

"They all like Nico!" The Von Kurtz protested, furrowing her eyebrows.

Sara's gaze made the girl sigh and will the aura away. They were only a few meters away from the infirmary when there was a commotion near the border. The two girls exchanged looks, and an eager grin appeared on the Daughter of Hades lips.

"Let's go."

They ran towards where there was a commotion, Tori wrapping up her hand in a bandana she always carried on her hip. The Ares cabin was working on getting the monster away from Camp borders, as another group of Halfbloods worked to get the group of four inside.

"Body Count?" Sara asked with almost a smile on her lips.

Sometimes Tori swore that Sara was a child of Thantos. "Four. Three Human, One Saytr. Split?" Nodding to each other, the girls headed towards the group of Ares and Apollo children fighting off the monsters. However a certain God stood in their way, and they nearly hit the floor from needing to stop so quickly.

"Mister D! What the frick!" Tori huffed angrily, obviously displeased with her opportunity to fight being delayed.

The God glared down at the girl and she shrunk, however Sara seemed unphased. "Report to the infirmary Hurt, Coli. Chirons orders.

The Daughter of Hades was about to correct him on their names, but Sara already grabbed her companions hand and began dragging her towards the infirmary. Besides. It's not like they could disobey Chirons orders, he was their mentor, their teacher. Dionysus was their teacher, but didn't act like it sometimes. Scratch that.. most of the time.

By the time that the two girls had arrived at the infirmary, the Apollo children were already working on the group of fours injuries with Nectar and songs to their father. They were pulled over by Chiron, or rather beckoned, who briefed them on what was going on.

"Girls, I'm going to need you to show them the ropes. Three humans, One Saytr. Karina Sai, Rebekka Loi and Brenna Ryder. Their saytr had to work very hard to get all three of them here, since we're still short." Chiron stated very calmly, giving them a smile.

Tori and Sara exchanged looks and they nodded to their mentor. "Yes, Sir. We'll get on that as soon as the monster is contained and the Apollo people are done."

They were left on their own, leaning against the wooden poles of the infirmary, watching the three get healed. One was drooling over an Apollo boy, who seemed to be flirting with her. That made Tori cringe and Sara giggle. One was fighting the Apollo girl who was insisting on just healing her. And another one was fairly well behaved, and just sat on the hammock as an Apollo boy patched her up.

"This is going to be a long week."
