Hello there! I want to write an exciting new adventure story! So you guys have submitted your own OC and I'll introduce them as characters. More info about that is at the bottom, first I'm going to start our story. (You can basically consider this part as a prologue).

A fog was slowly settling over the camp.

Unaware campers paid it no mind - why should they fear weather that was not uncommon? They found it to be an otherwise pleasant day, what with flowers beginning to bloom as winter was finally starting to thaw. Therefore there was plenty of energy for training and activities, and even some mischief. Most would say that the camp was running swimmingly.

Chiron the centaur could not hold such an optimistic view. He was a watchful reader of the signs and knew that such a fog should not descend on the camp unless he willed it, magic kept all unwanted weather out. And yet this fog broke through. It was a bad omen.

He couldn't resist a shudder of apprehension, as he looked out to the bustling cabins and could make out only indistinct silhouettes where on a clear day it had been easy to identify campers at a distance. The fog seemed harmless and yet already it proved to be a hazard. If it continued to thicken as it had for the last week then soon he'd be unable to see anything more than a few metres away. A subtle way to weaken the camp's strength.

Possibly more problematic was the way the thick curtain of fog completely blocked out any trace of the blue sky above him, and it let in far less sunlight, providing a more gloomy atmosphere. Chiron could not deceive himself into believing that the gods would have an easy time watching them from afar. It was possible that they'd be isolated from divine help until the suspicious fog lifted, unless the gods wished to interfere more directly. He hoped that they would notice and try to fix the bizarre weather but somehow it seemed like just the sort of inconspicuous feature that the gods would overlook. It was a perfect shield from unwanted eyes.

Therefore the camp was vulnerable. Whoever was controlling the fog would soon take advantage of the situation to attack while they were blinded. True, the fog would theoretically hinder their enemies too but somehow Chiron knew that they'd be more prepared than his campers, many of whom were still young and inexperienced. Plus, far too many of them were archers, who would be probably the most severely affected by the loss of vision.

Chiron found himself grimacing as he looked towards Thalia's tree, which provided the magical barriers which were usually so effective at keeping unwanted elements out. He couldn't see it at all through the fog, as much as he squinted at the faint outline of a hill. Still, it appeared to be functional in most respects for monsters were still being repulsed and there was no reason to assume the barrier wasn't as strong as ever. He was doubtful of it having been poisoned again.

That meant that whoever had created the fog was managing to somehow bypass the protection, subverting rather than destroying it, it suggested that this latest threat was both intelligent and knowledgeable. Either way he'd have to find a way to stop them, and quickly, before the fog became any denser. It was worrying that this enemy was still entirely unknown and he didn't know where to begin.

He sighed. It seemed he'd have to make an announcement at dinner, for a new quest.

Alright, I hope that's a reasonably compelling prologue. What did you think?

Now I've got enough characters for the moment so I can't accept any more submissions now but thank you! You guys provided me with some rather interesting characters. I'll provide details with whom I've chosen next chapter.

Sorry if you didn't get a chance to give me your own character but sadly there's a limit to how many characters I can use in one story. If you'd like to read beyond then I do encourage you to do so as I plan to make this a good and interesting story.

And that's it. Review or PM with your replies and I'll ask if I have any further questions. Thanks! I'll note what characters I'm using and who gave them to me next time!
