I watch Rikki hang on every single word Chiron utters about camp, her silver eyes widening with each passing minute. Ergh, I hope I was never like that. When I was six I was brought to camp by Mitch, my satyr friend. Even then I didn't even graze a monster, I've always been to…scared.
Like that would make dad happy.
It took nearly a whole month to for dad to accept me, I guess he wanted to see whether I was any good, well at least I know how to shoot now.
"Meryl will show you around," I jump from my daydream, knowing my blue eyes had been clouded over for some time. "Rikki. Who brought you here? You need to know, no one can just wander into camp."
"Um, some guy. He limped and he had brown hair and a hat on."
"That helps," I mutter pushing a hand to my forehead.
"Meryl." Chiron's warning tone washes over me. Oops.
"I don't know what his name was all I know is that he made-"We don't find out what he made, Mitch stumbles in the room dirty and limping. "That's him."
"Mitch?!" I say surprised, he literally never goes outside.
"Chiron made me." He doesn't look pleased about it and I try to hide a smirk. "I got you another two half-bloods."
My jaw drops open, it's the most Mitch has ever delivered, he hates going out.
"Shut up Meryl, at least my hair's actually decent." He has nodding to the bird's nest halo surrounding my face. I pull a face behind his back as he limps out to get the other half-bloods and yank my straight brown hair into a pony.
"This is Dan and Marley," Mitch points first to a dark haired scowling boy then to a blonde haired guy that's studying the whole room. "You guys know Rikki, but this is Meryl daughter of Apollo, and Chiron the centaur."
Chiron begins to rattle off again the whole speech he just recited to Rikki; I practically know it off by heart now. But then he stops.
Above the new half-bloods heads appears three symbols.
Rikki, daughter of Aphrodite, Marley, son of Athena and Dan son of Hades.
Hades?
Then the glowing symbols vanish.
