Chapter one I'm a Very Strange Demigod
Aaron
It was dark, and I was scared, don't get me wrong I'm not afraid of the dark, but I am afraid of what was in this particular area of darkness. I had made it all the way from Wisconsin I had been chased by a fury almost killed by a Cyclops and had three broken fingers, courtesy of a nice manticore who thought it would be polite to slam my fingers into the wall. Now how was I supposed to shoot my bow, it was my best weapon I had been shooting since I was three, and had even made three of my own bows but without my fingers I couldn't shoot something that was a foot in front of me. So I tried to improvise and grabbed one of those samurai swords from the gift shops, the ones made of wood, but all that did was slow them down. My protector Jeice had told me to go to long island far out into the country until I reached these huge strawberry fields, and sure enough there they were. Yet there was another problem on my hands, out around me somewhere there was a serpent of some kind it turned the grass yellow just by touching it! Freaky right? Well I didn't just want to make a run for it, but I couldn't stand out here all day so I decided to yell for help in the dead of night. At first nothing happened but then I heard a rustling in the grass and a boy with black hair, green eyes and a sense of power about him stormed out into the open. He looked around wildly and came to me, "What's after you?" He asked. "A-a serpent of some kind", I stammered. He nodded and screamed out, "Basilisk!" People rushed out with high powered flashlights and shone them quickly over the ground until they found the snake. Before I even had the chance to blink there was a spear through its head. I stared at the small animal and looked at the spear thrower; she looked like she belonged in a body building magazine. She wore combat boots, a camouflage XXXL jacket, and had stringy brown hair. A girl with blonde hair and a deep California tan took me into the camp and as soon as we had reached the fire a lyre burned above my head, "Okay how are you son of Apollo?" she asked. I shook my head, "Not good three of my fingers are broken and I think I'm going crazy." The girl nodded, "We all seem crazy but what happened to you really did happen, you have a very strong aura for a son of Apollo." "Wait a second are you telling me the gods are real!" I asked. She nodded and after a long pause said, "Yes I am my name is Annabeth what's yours?" "It's Aaron, Aaron Dark." Annabeth looked off into the distance, "I am a daughter of Athena, and I'm sure you'll be happier here than with all the monsters out there." She pointed to the great big hill that led to the entrance of Camp Half Blood. Chiron came out to greet me and as soon as our eyes met his expression turned grave, "It's you!" He said with astonishment. Annabeth looked puzzled and Chiron quickly covered up his expression. He told me to come with him to the big house, a sky blue three story tower. When we walked inside he took me to the attic and told me these exact words, "You are not like the others Aaron Dark…. You were born because of a fight, not an affair with a mortal…. Do you know your mother?" I shook my head I had grown up in an orphanage. "You see a millennia ago Apollo, Poseidon, and Zeus had a huge fight, when all three of their weapons of power met at the same time a mass of energy was thrown down into the mortal world, it took thousands of years to form, but here you are. Yes you are a real person, but instead of having the unique abilities of one god you have the abilities of three, only each is on a smaller scale than if you were a full child of one god." I nodded the words he had told me swirling in my head. "You will grow and understand soon you may only tell one person, and they must be able to keep a secret. The least amount of people that know the better, you will be the start of a new prophecy. I nodded and he told me to go and claim a spot in the Apollo cabin. I trudged off, wondering about all the things Chiron had told me. When I walked into the cabin I was introduced to everyone and given a bed to sleep in, they explained the chore system and all the events that go on here like tomorrow Friday was capture the flag. I told them that I understood and went to bed. We woke up to a horn being blown. "Awe crap, I forgot we were starting capture the flag in the morning!" Said Harold who slept right above me. We all got up and got dressed and ran out to the mess hall where we picked up our armor and for me my weapons. Chiron personally handed me a bow and a well-balanced short sword. I nodded my thanks and we charged to our side of the forest. I saw the kid who had been the first one out there to help me and stuck with him, best of all he seemed to like me. "So who's your godly parent Percy?" "Oh I'm son of the old kelp god Poseidon." He replied. I leaned over and asked home, "Can you keep a secret?" He nodded his head and I continued telling him everything Chiron had told me. He looked mind blown but he shook his head and said, "Than stick with me, we can talk after the battle." I nodded and stayed right behind him. ocument here...
