Here's Chappie 1!
Silena Bianca Jackson found it was hard to be a legacy. Especially the legacy of the most powerful demigods in the world.
Right now she was sitting on the floor of the Amphitheatre, with her best friends Tristan Grace, and Ariana Stoll. Also legacies. "And mom and dad blamed me!" She sighed angrily, running her hand through her ombré hair. Tristan shook his head. "I know how you feel, Calli did the same once." Ariana, the mom of the trio, replied "Aw come on guys, they're not that bad." Her friends scoffed. "That's because RJ is the best brother in the world! He never freaks out about anything!" Silena retorted. "And now, all of our families are here. In the one place I could get away from all the favouritism." She rolled her eyes.
Tristan shrugged. "At least we have Capture the Flag tonight. Be happy for that!" He always knew how to put her in a good mood, this time he did not disappoint. Silena grinned. "Yes! Athena is going to crush Ares!" Ariana shook her head. "No way! Demeter and Hermes are on the Ares team. We'll beat you for sure!"
Their debate went on and on until it was actually time to play. The campers all ran into the woods. Murmurs of shock rang out as everyone saw who was standing by Chiron. Percy and Annabeth Jackson stood proudly, alongside Jason and Piper Grace. Leo and Calypso Valdez stood there too. Travis and Conner Stoll, with their wives Katie and Lou Ellen stood a little behind them. Finally, Clarisse and Chris stood next to the Stolls.
"That's Percy Jackson! And Annabeth Chase!" Silena heard voices whisper. She could feel Tristan stiffen and she understood. It was annoying for their parents to be practically celebrities.
Silena strapped on her light armor and her blue-plumed helmet, waiting for the go sign. "Campers! Ready. Set. Go!" Chiron's voice rang out.
Silena raced into the woods, dodging fighting campers, running through trees. She reached the end of the grove and looked around for the flag. "Sup Jackson." She turned and parried, right as Hunter Rodriguez's sword came down. Silena's light heartedness faded as her inner warrior took over.
She slashed at Hunter, who blocked and and stabbed down. Silena rolled to the side and kicked his legs out from beneath him. He got up, annoyed, and slashed at her chest. She met his sword with a clash and disarmed him quickly. "Every time." He grumbled as she grinned. Silena tossed his sword in a spiky bush. "Later Rodriguez!" She grabbed the red Ares flag and sprinted back to her side enveloped in cheers. The red flag shimmered, and turned blue, with a sea green trident in the middle.
"ATHENA WINS!" Their camp director and friend's voice boomed. "Yes Lena!" Tristan and Ariana ran up, with Ariana looking mad. "Don't call me that Grace." She put her sword to his neck with a smirk.
"Oh Silena, great job sweetie!" Annabeth Chase-Jackson approached her daughter proudly. Her husband stood grinning. "That's our daughter!" He cheered. Silena tried to be mad about earlier, but she couldn't help feeling happy and proud at the praise. Her sister Zoë, and brother, Charlie with his girlfriend Calli Grace came up. "Great job Silena!" Calli smiled at her. "Thanks Calli!" Zoë squeezed her sister tight and whispered in her ear. "So sorry about earlier. I explained to mom and dad about the whole thing. You're ungrounded." Silena whooped and hugged her sister tighter.
However, the happy moment was ruined in an instant. The crowd of campers screamed and cried out as 6 empousai emerged from the trees. "Silena Jackson." One of them hissed with malice. "Time for you to die." They were too close and too fast. Silena closed her eyes ready to feel the impact. It never happened. She opened her eyes to see silver arrows sticking out from the already dissolving bodies.
A black clad figure jumped down from a tree, and landed right in front of her. He turned and she was momentarily struck dumb. The stranger was extremely handsome. He had startling hazel eyes, with an actual flame flickering in them. He had messy brown hair that made Silena want to run her hands through it. His silver bow was still drawn and shimmered in the light. "Are you alright?" He asked softly, and Silena was torn out of her daydream. "Y-yeah. Thank you." She stuttered. The stranger smiled and looked at the confused campers.
Tristan and Ariana squeezed the life out of her. "Oh my, I was so scared for you." Ariana sighed relieved. Her parents looked extremely thankful."Who are you?" Percy's hostile, but thankful, voice rang out. "Dylan Ashwood. I'm sorry, I led these monsters to you, I was running from them, and eventually hid in a tree. They were searching for me, but I guess they decided to harm you instead." Dylan motioned to Silena. "Might I ask, what is this. A school?" This time, Chiron replied. "No my boy, we're a camp, that trains demigods." Dylan's mesmerizing eyes analyzed everyone. "A camp. I never knew that existed."
"Who is your godly parent?" Katie asked curiously. He scratched his neck. "Well see, it's a different story. Um." Silena could see he didn't know how to answer, but he didn't need to.
Cries of shock cried out as a shimmering hearth glowed over the boy's head. "Oh my." Annabeth Chase-Jackson was actually struck dumb as well. "A son of Hestia?" Piper Grace asked, confused. "Well not exactly. Hestia is still a maiden, I'm the champion of Hestia. Not her son." Dylan explained. "Wow." Leo voiced the thoughts that were running through everyone's heads.
"Well my boy, you can stay at Camp Half-Blood. No need for you to keep running from monsters." Chiron smiled at him and he grinned back. "Thank you sir."
The champion of Hestia changed Silena's life.
