I woke up, my eyes opening slightly to see a man that looked to be on a horse…oh god…he's not on a horse. I thought to myself and I saw a large man in a leopard print shirt walking over "He looks like a big boy, how did you get him here Perry?" he asks and the answer was mumbled.

I came up swinging. I stood with my fists balled up and I felt my hat cocked to the side.
"I don't know where I am, or who y'all are, but ya better start explanin, now." I said in the straightest face I could manage and the man in the leopard shirt laughed "my dear boy, I could turn you into a dolphin and let you die, now hush." He says.

The horse-man walked over and smiled "Clay, you're safe here, relax." He says and I feel a hand I always knew "Mr. Godfrey?" I ask and he nods "here I am Chiron."

I shake my head "no, no, no, no." I say standing and shaking my head "Where the hey am I?" I ask shakily

"Welcome to Camp Half Blood, you're safe here, until you're claimed, you're going to stay with the Hermes cabin, watch your wallet and anything important in there." He smiles and I nod and walk out, straightening my hat.

The sun was bright, but the air was surprisingly cool as I walked around, I bumped into a few other campers and finally found a beach and I sat.

I looked around and saw someone under the water. Were those blonde locks? As I stared at the water, Percy and Annabeth walked out, completely dry and holding hands.

"Hey Clay, it's about dinner, wanna go get some food?" Percy asks and Annabeth hit his arm "that's all you think about Seaweed Brain." She laughs

I smile and stand up, shrugging "uh, sure, I mean, no monsters gonna pop out and try to kill me?"

"No no no, just dryads." Percy says and I follow them to the pavilion. Once I figured out how to work my plate I got a burger and fries, the burger was about as big as my head let's just say, it was really good.

Once I saw people giving a sacrifice, I walked up "whoever my dad is, please claim me, and thanks." I mumble and turn around with people staring above my head.

"All Hail Clay Hemmingway, Son of Apollo!" Chiron shouts and people start to cheer and I am ushered to my table, with what are my new brothers and sisters.

I'm skeptical at first but I eventually tell them what happened, the "Seven" were getting attacked by a Minotaur and I shot it in the head and blacked out.

I grin as Leo comes over "how did you even manage the crossbow out of the hat trick?"

"I'm about as sure of it as you are at this point man." I chuckle as we walk to the campfire.

I look around and smile at the campers, most are sitting around but there's a few couples here and there and I smile, not noticing that the Aphrodite girls are staring at me.

I help out and grin "y'all got a banjo? I think I can help out!" I smile and a guy by the name of Will brings me one and I grin and start strumming.

Eventually I'm forced to pick a song and sing it and I shrug, standing up and hoilding up my hands.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN OF THE CAMPFIRE!" I shout, earning snickers and laughs "Its my time to shine." I grin and start strumming and eventually playing and singing.

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...

And, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide...

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

I look around and grimace as the camp looks at me with surprise and I shrug "I mean, if it was bad I'm sorry guys…" I say slowly rubbing the back of my neck.

I step down and pretty much go deaf, the campfire goes pink and about 10 feet high and I smile as the rest of my cabin carries me towards the lake.

"DON'T YOU DO IT!" I shout but it's too late as I'm thrown and caught in a geyser then dropped in the lake.

After I make the swim back Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, Frank, Jason, Piper, Leo and Calypso are all trying to suppress smiles "yuck it up kids, yuck it up." I mumble with a smile before we all bust out laughing.

After a while, I see everyone pairing off to their cabins and I smile and sigh and sit on the steps of my cabin for a few minutes before going inside and grinning at Will.

"Hey Will, where do I sleep?" I ask and he ushers me to my bunk with my stuff. "How'd you kill the minotaur without a weapon?" he asks and I smile.

"Watch this, I found out my hat always comes back, but it changes into whatever one I want, watch." I grin and take my hat off and shut my eyes black hat with a Batman symbol. I think and look into my hands and grin "Oh, and this is cool too." I say reaching in and producing the small Derringer but it morphs into my crossbow.

Will blinks a few times "2 magic gifts? Wow you're gonna be screwed here shortly." He says and I shrug as he leaves.

I lay in my bed and envelop myself in the covers, pulling myself into sleep.
