Chapter 1

I'm Zephyra Night.

But I prefer people would call me Zyra. I'm also the daughter of Hades, lord of the dead and one of the Big Three. You see, I was claimed by Hades once I turned fourteen on my birthday (which is on December twenty-fourth) and that's when I realized about the world of Greek Mythology is real.

But I never really been to Camp Half-Blood, a secret demigod (half mortal, half god) sanctuary and training camp located at New York, before. The reason why is because when I my mom, Grace Night, died a day before my birthday because of leukemia, my grandmother, Madeleine Night, sent me to Camp Half-Blood because my dad wanted me to go there. But along the way, I bumped into the Hunters of Artemis. Once their lieutenant, Thalia Grace (a daughter of Zeus), knew I was a half-blood, they recruited me to join and that's why I spent my time with hunting monsters and spending time with Thalia and the hunters.

One hot day in May, Thalia told me that Lady Artemis wanted to see me. I was nervous at first because maybe I did something wrong. When Thalia led me to the silvery tent in the middle, I saw Lady Artemis sitting down, caressing the stag on her lap gently on his (or her?) head. But I saw her expression hardened as if someone smacked her.

"Lady Artemis." Thalia and I greeted.

"Sit down." Artemis said grimly. "You may be wondering why I called you two here."

We waited for Lady Artemis' answer, but she just sighed.

"Zyra, I'm afraid it's time for you to be removed from the Hunt." Artemis said her tone was sad.

"What!" Thalia exclaimed in shock and anger. "But Lady Artemis, Zyra was one of her best hunters ever since… Zoë died!"

Artemis lowered her head. "I know Thalia. But father said that it's time Zyra was sent to Camp Half-Blood."

I just stared at Thalia and Artemis. My expression was confused, mad, shocked and upset. I can't believe that I'm leaving the Hunt. For five long years, I've been hunting side by side with Lady Artemis, Thalia and the rest of the hunters. But now, I think I feel like I'm leaving my family. My home…

"I understand, Lady Artemis." I said my tone was upsetting. "For once, maybe I could see what it feels like to be a demigod and not a huntress."

Artemis smiled. "Thank you for understanding, Zyra. I think by tomorrow morning, Thalia would escort you to Camp Half-Blood."

I looked at Thalia and she sighed. "I guess I could do that but who's going to be my substitute while I'm gone."

Artemis hesitated and then said. "I think Cynthia would look after the others very well."

Thalia and I nodded slowly. Artemis then dismissed us and we both climbed out the tent. When I went inside my tent, I sighed in relief that my best friend, Diana, wasn't here yet. So I began to pack my things. I packed my clothes, my iPod, some toiletries and my prized possessions: a bow and quiver full of stygian iron arrows, a celestial bronze knife and a stygian iron sword. I placed them all in my gym bag and went outside to watch the stars with the other hunters.

Once we were gathered to watch the stars, we sat in pairs on the soft grass. As usual, I sat with Diana, Cynthia and Thalia. At the night sky, we saw the Ursa Major, the Big Dipper and my favorite, the Huntress (which was once Zoë Nightshade). Usually when I see the constellations, I would feel pretty happy but now, I felt like someone punched me in the gut. I could feel tears slowly streaming from my face as I watch the constellations gleamed brighter than ever. Slowly, I excused myself and ran towards my tent.

Once I reached my tent, I felt more tears streaming down my face and I sat down on the nearest chair, putting my face in my hands.

"Zyra?"

I looked up and saw Diana looked at me with a worried expression pasted on her face.

"What's wrong Zyra?" Diana asked.

"I… I'm leaving the…" My voice faltered as more tears began streaming down my face. Why is it ever so hard to say the Hunt?

"You're leaving the Hunt." Diana said, and she didn't even punctuate it as a question.

"Y-yes." I stammered and sobbed. I really don't want to leave the Hunt but I also wanted to see what it feels like to be a demigod and not a huntress.

"Don't worry. Maybe one of these days, we'll meet again." Diana said and gave me a warm smile but her eyes told me she would miss me miserably.

The next day (around 6:30 in the morning), Thalia and I sneaked outside the camping site and the two of us began to journey towards Camp Half-Blood. Since we were somewhere near Montauk, I guess the trip to Camp Half-Blood would be short. Unfortunately, I was wrong. In fact, I heard a growling noise which awfully sounds a lot like hellhounds.

"Thalia, did you hear something?" I asked, getting my bow and quiver of stygian iron arrows.

"Yeah and it sounds like it's getting closer." Thalia replied and she got her spear and Aegis (which I tried not to cower at).

Then from behind us, a hellhound appeared. I gasped and Thalia whirled around. I got one of my bows and shot at the hellhound but it dodged the arrow and came charging towards me.

"Zyra, look out!" Thalia yelled as she charged at the hellhound, her spear crackling with electricity.

I whirled around and saw the hellhound charging towards me. When the hellhound saw Thalia charging towards him, he swatted her away with his paw as if she's an annoying mosquito.

"Thalia!" I yelled as Thalia landed on her back, her spear flying in one direction and Aegis on the other.

I saw the hellhound charging towards me and I shot another arrow but he swatted it away and slashed my body. I was thrown back and when I stood up, I saw gashes of blood reeking out my body. The hellhound charged towards me once more but it was suddenly electrocuted on his side. When I looked at his side, I saw Thalia piercing the hellhound with her spear, electricity channeling from her hands to her spear. Then the hellhound fell dead on the ground and slowly evaporated into ashes in the air.

"Di Immortales!" Thalia said. "That's a hellhound from the Fields of Punishment. They were creatures from your father. They don't… they're not supposed to…"

I smiled grimly at Thalia. "Then the Fates must have hated me."

Then the darkness swallowed me.

I must've woken up several times, but what I heard and saw made no sense, then I passed out again. But I do remember lying on a soft bed, being spoon-fed something that tasted like chocolate chip cookies, only it was pudding. Once I woken up again, I felt kinda woozy.

"Lie down a bit." A male voice said to me.

I blinked a couple of times and my vision began to focus. A guy with messy black hair and piercing electric blue eyes was hovering over me.

"Um… who are you and where's Thalia?" I asked.

The guy smirked. "I'm Michael de la Cruz, son of Zeus. And Thalia just left after she brought you here."

I frowned. "Michael, where am I?"

Michael smiled. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, Zyra."
