I found myself looking up at a kid. Well, actually, I was on the ground, because of my clumsiness. But you know, whatever. He had sandy blonde hair, and a charming face, and he seemed to glow in the sunlight.
"Sorry," he said. He held a hand out for me. "I'm Will Solace."
"H-hi," I said. "I'm Savannah."
Will smiled. "Nice name."
I gave him a shy smile back. "Thanks,"
Arrow was ahead of us, stifling giggles. I rolled my eyes with her.
"So you're that new camper?" Will asked.
"Um…yeah." I responded.
"You talk in your sleep," he responded. "We'll hang out later. See you!" he jogged away.
I caught up with Arrow who was cracking up.
"Shut up," I growled.
She rolled her eyes and we continued to the Big House.
When we arrived, there was a guy with thinning brown hair and a brown beard, and some guy who had obviously been drinking before. He had dark circles under his eyes, which were bloodshot, puffy black hair, and a leopard print shirt and baggy pants. He smelled of fresh grapes and something much more bitter, wine.
"Savannah, this is Chiron and Mr. D." She spat Mr. D's name, like she hated him.
"Ah, it's great to see her finally awake," Chiron said. "Hello, Savannah, I am Chiron."
"The Chiron? Like the trainer of heroes, the centaur?" I asked.
Chiron smiled. "You know your mythology. Yes, the Chiron."
"She knows more than that Chiron. She knows her parent," Arrow commented.
Chiron raised a brow, fairly surprised. "Oh do you know? Please, tell us your story."
So I explained again about my life, and Mr. D nodded and spoke for the first time.
"Ah, yes. I remember this one. Made Father awfully angry, after Uncle stayed with her for so long. She was supposed to be dead."
"Now, Mr. D, let's welcome the young girl, she's been through a lot." Chiron said, and looked at me. "Your hellhound, we haven't been able to find him. He is safe, is he not?"
I nodded. "He was a gift from my uncle."
Mr. D snorted. "I'm surprised. Uncle Hades does not often give out gifts."
"Do you have any other…creatures?" Chiron asked.
I didn't respond, just did my best whistle, and out of the sky, at the speed of light, came my paint pegasus.
Chiron raised a brow. "Well, this is a magnificent beast," he said.
I smiled at his praise for my horse.
This guy knows what he's talking about, Argos commented. I don't need to beat up the nerd do I?
"No, she's safe," I assured him.
Dang, I like bashing heads in.
"Not today, Argos." I told him.
"Argos? That's his name?" Chiron asked. I nodded.
"It suits him. He definitely is fast." He commented.
Yes, brag on the horse, Argos bragged.
I poked his nose. "Arrogant much?" I asked.
"So, Arrow, did you show her around camp?" Chiron asked.
"Yes, sir," Arrow said.
"Good. Talk to her about the schedule, and we'll have play capture the flag tonight."
"But it isn't Friday," Arrow commented.
"It'll be a welcome game." Chiron told her.
"Then I want her on my team. She's a good fighter."
"I am sure that Percy is on the Athena team, so that's fine. Go for it." Chiron said.
Arrow smiled, and I walked after her.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"You and I, we're going to be offense in capture the flag," she smiled mischievously and I knew one thing. I was in for a fight.
Arrow explained the rules. Athena cabin was the leader and had the flag, and they had alliances with Poseidon, Zeus, Aphrodite, Apollo, and Hermes. Ares cabin was the other leader and had alliances with everyone else, Demeter, Hephaestus, Dionysus. All magical items could be used, which means I could use my transportation necklace. (I'll explain later)
I felt my battle adrenaline starting to kick in as she explained it. I only had one question.
"Can Argos play? Like, be my mighty steed or something? I never fight without him."
Arrow raised a brow and shrugged. "I don't think it matters."
I smiled. "Great."
"Now go find Percy at your cabin, we'll have dinner then play."
I nodded, and jogged to my cabin.
This was going to be awesome.
Tada! Please review. That is all. bai.
