I was just, standing there; I didn't know what to do. I could just walk away as if nothing had happened, start jumping of joy, or stand right there 'till someone did something. So I did until Chiron's voice rose through the pavilion "Hail Gerard Lavertue, son of Zeus!"
People came to great me, as if it was an achievement to be the son Zeus, or as if it was MY achievement. Anyway all people came to greet me except one, at the entrance of the pavilion, a guy with black hair and sea green eyes stood there as if he was waiting me. When I finally came out, he intercepted me.
"So, we have another one." He said
"Another what?" I asked confused
"Another half-blood from the big three" He explained "I'm Percy, son of Poseidon"
"Nice to meet you Percy son of Poseidon"
He laughed a little
"So, who are the other ones?" I asked
"Well, there's Nico di Angelo, son of Hades. He comes here to camp sometimes. He had a sister, Bianca, who died 2 years ago. And of course, your half sister Thalia, who is now a huntress of Artemis, so she's not here"
"How is it? To be a son of the big three"
"Well, at first people will hate you or love you, then, you'll be like bread right out of the oven, then people get used to it, and you're just another camper"
Now, normally, this would sound really cocky, or as if he intended to brag about it. But he said it so casually, it made me feel good.
"Seems fun"
"It is; except when you get all tangled in a prophecy"
I stared at him blankly
"Long story" He said laughing "Come to the amphitheater for the sing along"
We left
The amphitheater was amazing, and people were so happy there, I felt so at home. There was a bonfire in the center. And it changed colors with the mood of the campers. When a sad song was sung, the fire turned blue, on a happy song, it turned yellow, and a love song, pink.
Note to self: Pink fire DOES burn.
After all the sing along, s'mores, roasted marshmallows and bacon; yes, someone got bacon into the bonfire. I went to sleep more anxious than ever to wake up.
I got used to be at camp in no time. I even stayed year round. I really liked it there. I practiced archery, fail. Sword, fail. Knives, fail. Until I found a spear; I was good with it, at least people didn't beat me to dust when I used it. Some guys at the Ares cabin were training me to use the spear. One day, when winter break was here, my bragging self, decided to challenge Percy, because I thought I was the hot stuff there. And I almost beat him… No, just kidding, I didn't last a minute, but it was useful, it calmed my smokes a lot.
After the fight Percy took me to the armory.
"Now that you have a weapon of choice, pick the one you like" He told me
"Any of this?" I asked staring blankly at the tons of weapons there
"Any of this"
I started looking for one, and finally one called my attention. It was a simple spear, with a celestial bronze head. I picked it up.
"Oh, good!" He said cheerfully in a TV announcer voice "You've chosen the spear of who-knows-him unknown! Probably with a tragic and horrible past"
I laughed, probably more than I should.
"Calm down, sparkle"
I couldn't stop laughing so Percy hitted me directly in the face
"Thanks…" I said
"No problem" He answered smiling.
I knew this winter would be great with Percy. I couldn't wait for it. But, when I woke up the next day, he was gone.
Annabeth was going nuts with these; we searched for so long, and so hard. It was unbelievable, every camper and satyr was looking for her. One day we were told to demigods and a "special package" had been found in Colorado.
So as you all probably know, this was the whole, "Prophecy of the seven". Was I jealous Jason got called and I didn't? No, I wouldn't want so much burden in me. But we weren't just sitting there, we had to kind of fight with the Romans, and we HAD to fight with Gaea's army, but after so much effort, and some lost lives. We had been victorious. We thought we'd finally have peace, but apparently, nobody wants half bloods to have peace, like… EVER.
