So, for a couple chapters we're gonna party with the Greek demigods (Alfred, Alice, Yao, Ivan, Francis) and then later we'll start with the Romans. More explanations later. Disclaimer: I don't own the Olympian series or Hetalia.
Yao
Yao sighed as they landed in the cabin. Alfred had nearly fallen off. TWICE. And Alice had clung to Yao like her life depended on it.
"Well, we're here aru." She dismounted, then helped Alice. Ivan pushed Alfred off, and the angry American shouted at him. Alice and Yao looked at each other, then rolled their eyes. As Yao lead Lightning, the Pegasus, back to the cabin, Alice followed with Thunder, Ivan's. Alfred and Ivan had started fighting, so Alice decided to take theirs into the stable. But when they entered, they were NOT expecting what happened next.
"Bonjour Yao. Who is that beau you brought?" Alice frowned as a blonde boy, obviously French, threw his arm around her.
"She's a new recruit. And I see you got Stable duty aru. Serves you right for flirting with the Hunters aru." Yao smirked as the boy sighed.
"Alice, this is Francis Bonnefoy, son of Aphrodite. Francis, this is Alice Kirkland." Francis smiled and Alice rolled her eyes.
"Great. A French frog who happens to be the son of the goddess of love. Just what I needed." Yao laughed as Francis looked hurt.
"Frog?" Francis frowned. Alice smirked.
"Yes, frog." Yao laughed some more as Alice lead her away from the Stables.
"Nice aru. Most girls can't do that to Francis, since he IS the son of Aphrodite aru." Yao blushed at this. Alice slowed down.
"Even you fell for him? That seems unlikely. You and Ivan obviously are together." Yao blushed even more.
"No we aren't aru! He stalks me aru!" Yao protested. Alice laughed.
"You're blushing Yao." Yao stopped and Alice was pulled back. Yao turned Alice around and stared into her face.
"Don't EVER say that AGAIN aru." Alice gulped and nodded. Yao smiled then.
"Ok, well let's go to Chiron, he's the director. He'll help us-"Yao stopped and started staring at Alice. Other campers who were wandering around stopped and started staring too. Alice started freaking out.
"What? WHAT? Why is everyone staring?" Alice realized they were looking above her and looked up. She yelped as she saw a gray owl floating above her head.
"What the bloody hell is that?" Alice asked, slightly freaking out.
"That, my dear, is claiming." The campers all parted as a man, no wait a centaur walked out.
"Claiming?" Alice was still really confused. All the campers kneeled, as did the Centaur.
"All hail Alice Kirkland, Daughter of Athena, goddess of Wisdom."
Alfred
"You are such an asshole." Alfred scowled as Ivan escorted him to the Big House. Apparently the orientation was there. Yao had taken Alice while they were arguing.
"Comrade, you are not one to talk." Ivan kept that creepy smile on his face. All the other campers scrambled out of their way. Alfred looked around at the cabins.
"That one is mine." Ivan pointed to the cabin with barbed wire and red spray paint.
"Cabin for Ares, god of war." Alfred stared. It wasn't surprising really. Ivan seemed to be the kind of person who enjoyed fighting.
"Chiron, I am here with another new comrade." Ivan called out. Alfred heard the sound of hooves and looked up to see a centaur.
"Whoa…." Alfred stared. Chiron looked at the teen.
"Ah, Alfred Jones right? Yao told me there was another one. Your friend, Alice, is already taking the tour. But I want to hear about you. Yao mentioned something troubling." Chiron led Alfred into the Big House. Ivan tried to follow but Chiron turned.
"Ivan, I heard Toris was looking for you." Ivan brightened and skipped out the door. Chiron sighed.
"I hope Toris will forgive me for that…" Alfred looked confused.
"Ivan is… possessive of his friends. Toris, son of Hecate is one of his favorites. He and his brothers, Raivis son of Hermes and Eduard, son of Athena, are always hiding from him." Chiron explained.
"Anyways, I wanted to talk about the incident with lightning. Do you know what happened?" Chiron asked. Alfred frowned and scratched his head.
"Well, I dunno. I just saw Alice in trouble and didn't really think anything about it. One second the skeleton was about to slice her in two and the next he's a pile of dirt." Chiron sighed.
"Maybe Yao was mistaken. He did swear off children again…" Chiron went off into his own world. Alfred coughed, reminding Chiron of his presence.
"Oh, yes. Well, tonight is Capture the Flag and your godly parent should claim you by then. Until that happens, you can stay with the Hermes cabin. The counselor, Raivis, is rather ah- timid, so please be careful around him. The Hermes cabin is all the way at the end, on the left." And with that, Alfred left to go find the cabin in question. He passed Ivan, who was trying to coax a trembling boy with brown hair held back in a ponytail to come down from the roof of his cabin. That must be Toris… Alfred snuck by them and ran towards the Hermes cabin. He paused at the door, trying to figure out whether he should knock or barge in. He yelped as the door opened, making the boy who opened the door yelp as well.
"O-oh I'm sorry! I-I didn't know you w-were there!" The boy was shaking, his purple eyes filled with fear. He had dirty blonde hair and had a light red sweater jacket on over his orange camp T-shirt.
"Oh no man, it's my fault! Don't worry." Alfred gave a reassuring smile and the boy calmed down slightly.
'Oh, I thought you were Ivan. My name's Raivis, I'm the head counselor here at the Hermes cabin. Umm, are you the new kid? I didn't think you'd be a son of Hermes." Raivis looked confused. Alfred laughed.
"Well, actually we're not sure. Apparently I'm just gonna chill here until later, when my godly parent is supposed to claim me. But, what is a 'godly parent?'" Raivis was shocked at Alfred's question.
"Well, we're all half-gods, or demigods. Our mom or dad is a Greek God. Mine is Hermes, god of Messengers. We also come from all over the world to come here, since this is the only safe place for us. Monsters chase us because well, they have no chance against the Gods. We train and learn the ropes here." Raivis explained. Alfred tilted his head and Raivis sighed.
"You have no idea what I just said, do you?" Alfred laughed.
"Not a clue! Anyways, I heard we were playing Capture the Flag! That sounds fun!" Raivis chuckled.
"Yep, we're allied with Athena, Hecate, Demeter, and Aphrodite. Unfortunately Aphrodite because they don't do much, but Athena is good because the kids of Athena are all really smart and good at making strategies. We're against Ares, Nyx, Dionysus, and Iris. That means we're going against Ivan, Yao, and Ivan's sisters, Natalya and Katyusha. Katyusha is nice, but Natalya is scary." Raivis shuddered at the thought of fighting them. Alfred patted his back.
"Don't worry! I'm the hero so I'll help out!" Raivis laughed at Alfred as he struck a pose.
"Anyways, we better get ready so you can find a weapon."
Alice
"Oh My God is that a Smart Board?" Alice instantly geeked out when she entered the cabin. The other campers turned and stared at the British girl who had walked in. Alice blushed. Yao laughed and entered behind her.
"Hey, this is your new half-sister Alice Kirkland. Alice, this is the gang." A tall blond guy with glasses walked up.
"Hi there. My name is Eduard and I'm head counselor. I'll show you the ropes, and since we have Capture the Flag tonight I'll help you with that too." With that, Yao nodded to Eduard before leaving. Alice looked over to the Smart Board where drawings and blueprints were opened and the other Athena campers seemed to be stuck.
"If we charge straight in, our defense would be left open."
"But we'd win fastest!" They seemed to be arguing. Alice walked over and studied the board.
"Well, if you have the fastest campers go first through the center to break up and distract the enemy's defenses, you can have two alternate groups sneak through on the left and right, one group distract the people guarding the flag and the other group grab the flag." Alice stated as she drew her plan out. The other campers stared and Eduard started to laugh.
"Brilliant idea Alice! I see great things from you! Now, I see you have Yao's knife, but don't worry she obviously wants you to keep it or she would've asked for it back. Why don't you go talk to our allies and explain the plan to them. We're with Hermes, Hecate, Demeter, and Aphrodite. Their counselors are Raivis, Toris, Tino and Francis respectively." Alice groaned at the last name. Eduard smirked.
"I bet you've met Francis. Anyways, good luck, make some friends, and try to stay away from Ivan." Eduard shuddered at the thought and Alice left to go talk to her allies. As she went to Hermes' cabin, she ran into Alfred, literally. They both fell onto the dirt, on their butts.
"Ow! Geez sorry." Alfred stood up and offered Alice his hand. Alice smiled and gratefully grabbed it.
"Oh are you guys ok?" Raivis asked. Alfred turned and smiled.
"Yea, we're fine Raivis." Alice turned at the name.
"Oh, you're Raivis? I'm from the Athena cabin with the strategy for tonight's Capture the Flag." Alfred and Raivis were shocked.
"You? You're the newbie…oh wait I see. Ok, well, follow us to the weapons storage area and we can talk." Alice and Alfred looked at each other and followed Raivis to the storage.
Yao
Yao went over to Ivan who had left the trembling Toris on the roof of the Hecate cabin to talk.
"So, you sent Natalya to spy on the Athena cabin to find out the strategy for tonight aru?" Yao asked. Ivan smiled.
"Da, we will win again comrade." Yao smiled. The Nike cabin was fine with cheating, if it meant they won. After all, Nike was the goddess of Victory.
"Yao, I hope you do not mind if I have some personal time with Alfred during the match." Ivan had that glint in his eyes. Yao gulped and nodded, now feeling incredibly sorry for the newbie.
Alfred
As Raivis looked through the weapons for a weapon for Alfred, Alice explained the plan.
"And apparently Alfred and I get to stay and guard the flag, since we're the newbies." Alfred groaned at the last part.
"Don't worry Alfred. A good defense is the best offense. And Alice, that plan is brilliant! I knew having Eduard send you to tell us was a genius move since the opponent won't spy on you!" Alice frowned.
"I thought he sent me because it was my plan." Alice grumbled. Raivis looked embarrassed.
"That probably too! Anyways, Alfred what about a knife?" Alfred took it and held it.
"I dunno, it seems kinda small." Raivis laughed.
"You want something bigger huh? Here, look at some swords." Alfred browsed through the swords, and paused on one shelf.
"Why is there a pen?" Alfred grabbed it. Raivis paled.
"I don't think you should use that…" Alfred uncapped it and it grew into a sword. Raivis' mouth dropped open.
"It hasn't transformed since Percy…." Raivis was obviously in awe as Alfred swung it at a dummy.
"I like this one." Alfred grinned and recapped it. As it shrank, he put it in his pocket. Alice raised her eyebrow as Raivis calmed down.
"It's called 'Anaklusmos'" Alfred froze mid-swing and Alice's jaw dropped.
"Isn't that the name of the sword from those Percy Jackson books?" Alfred paled. Raivis laughed.
"Those books are non-fiction you know! I can't believe you two both realized this even after the pegasi, monsters, Chiron, and the cabins!" Raivis giggled.
"So, I get to use Riptide, the SAME Riptide that THE Percy Jackson used!" Alfred's jaw dropped and Alice face-palmed.
"Umm, well you ARE the only person who has been able to get the sword in sword form SINCE Percy so I guess." Raivis laughed harder when Alfred whooped for joy and jumped around like a kid on Christmas. Alice took out her dagger. She turned to Raivis.
"Why is Yao letting me keep her dagger? Do you have any idea?" Raivis turned and Alice handed him the knife. He held it and studied it.
"Well, all I know is that it's Celestial Bronze like all the others. It looks well-used, but still usable. If you really want to know the history, I'd ask Chiron. He knows all the weapons." Alice shrugged and took back the dagger.
"By the way Alice, I bet Toris, Francis, and Tino are still waiting for the plan. You go ahead, I'll stay and make sure Alfred doesn't hurt himself." Raivis said and Alice was off. Raivis sighed and turned to Alfred, who was attempting to pull his sword out of the dummy.
"This will take a while" Raivis sighed.
Yes, so Riptide has been stubborn since Percy died (like 100 years ago) and wouldn't go into sword form until Alfred came. And Yao strangely let Alice keep a dagger, completely out of character. The Baltics (YAY!) are awesome so they show up. Not to mention you can't have Russia without his crazy sister and Ukraine! So, review and tell me how you like it!
