Are we there yet? I asked for the millionth time to the satyr whose name is in fact Caesar Spring. When he first said his name I almost laughed at him. I mean, what kind of sane parents names their kid Caesar Spring?
Almost there. Caesar said. He threw two acorns on the ground and waited for something to happen. Aha! I knew it! He exclaimed as the acorns moved a little. We just have to pass this town and we'll make it to camp in no time. Caesar finished confidently.
Great. What's with these acorns anyways? I asked
They symbolize us. It is a really neat trick to not get lost.
Yeah, I can see that. I muttered as I look ahead of a thick forest. We almost made it out of the forest when we heard a twig crunching.
Sshh! be quiet Paul! We have to hurry. A girl's voice whispered loudly.
Yeah, yeah. I'm right behind you. A deep voice answered back. I looked over at Caesar who mouthed "Half-bloods".
As I entered this camp, I saw normal looking teenagers with some dirt and grime on their faces. Looks like they just finished training? I asked. Caesar nodded. "I have to get you to our camp director, Lupa." He said. Lupa? That sounds like a wolf's name, don't you think? I asked. "She is basically a wolf." Caesar stated. I wanted to laugh but we already entered into her office and her look reminded me of a centaur. Ok, weird thoughts away, away. "Well, looks like you found a new half-blood, Spring. He smells delicious." She said. *Gulp* "So, what's your name demigod?" I—I'm Perseus Jackson. I said. I don't know how I knew my name, but that was great, maybe I was recovering from my memory loss. "Percy, you will take the test of worthiness tomorrow, and I will decide whether you are useful here in the camp, or you are as good as dinner." She gnarled.
After the acquaintance with Lupa, I could tell she was a creepy but kind wolf when you show your capabilities. Okay, so when I heard this test of worthiness thingy, Lupa kind of gave me the chills. Then I thought, I don't remember anything, how am I supposed to pass this test? Then I fell asleep in Mercury's cabin. In my dreams, I saw this girl riding a flying horse or something; her gray eyes looked very tired and desperate. The girl looked familiar but I just can't sort it out. She had company too, one was a guy who had short-cropped hair and blue eyes, he was wearing an orange shirt like everyone in the flying horse did; one was a girl with a gorgeous face and the other was a normal kid(Mexican, I guess?) with elfish features.
Then, it changed scenes, I saw a familiar-faced satyr, or "faun" as they call it. He looks like he was looking for a way out. He was surrounded by trees, flowers and all kinds of nature. When he found his way out, he came to a camp similar to where I am and looked for some other demigods.
