Percy Jackson P.O.V
Sera and I followed her into Camp Half-Blood. I didn't want to see her so soon. Not after everything she did to me. But the Fates just had to make it so that we run into her. But I'll admit, I was kinda happy to see Grover again. It's been so long.
I stared at Camp Half-Blood. It looked different. They had added more cabins, the stables looked bigger, there were more strawberry fields, and the arena seemed to have expanded.
Wow, I thought. So much has changed in the last three years.
I was snapped back to reality as the daughter of Athena took us inside the Big House. Chiron was not at his usual spot on the porch with Dionysus. Instead, he was standing behind his desk in centaur form, frowning at a piece of paper in his hand. He looked up when he heard us enter.
"Chiron," Wisdom's daughter began. "Two new half-bloods have arrived."
The immortal Trainer of Heroes came out from behind his desk. "Greetings, children. I am Chiron, the Activities Director at Camp Half-Blood." He extended his hand for us to shake. Sera reached out and shook. I hesitantly shook as well. I didn't have anything against Chiron, it's just that I hadn't seen him in a long time and I didn't know how to respond to him.
"Hello, Chiron." Sera replied. "My name is Seraphina, and this is my boyfriend Ryan."
Chiron nodded to acknowledge he had heard. He turned to the blond-haired girl and asked, "Have they been claimed?" She shook her head 'no'.
The centaur sighed. "Very well. I shall introduce them at the Campfire tonight. Hopefully they will be claimed then. In the meantime, Annabeth, please show them the Camp." I flinched when he said her name. I supposed I would have to get used to it.
Annabeth led us around Camp, showing us Arts and Crafts, getting each of us a bead necklace, and explained to us what it is. Then she took us to the cabins. I stared longingly at the Poseidon Cabin. I wondered if anything had changed since I had left. I noticed that there were a few new cabins.
I pointed to them and asked her, "Which cabins are those?"
Annabeth looked to where I was pointing. "Those are some new cabins we built last year. That one is for Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth," she said, pointing to a simple wooden cabin with an image of a fire and a poker above the door. "That one," she said, pointing to a blue and white cabin with a crescent moon above the door, "Is an honorary cabin for Selene, the previous Moon Goddess before Artemis. And that one," she pointed to the final cabin, "Is an honorary cabin for Selene's brother, Helios, the previous Sun God before Apollo."
Wow, I thought bitterly. Who's idea was it to add cabins for Hestia, Selene, and Helios?
Moving on from there, Annabeth showed us around the whole camp. The climbing wall, the arena, the Mess Hall, the Canoe Lake (that place reminded me of the day I left), the forge, the armoury, the strawberry fields, the stables, and the woods. Everywhere we went, strong memories rushed back to me. It was almost overwhelming.
Annabeth brought us back to the Big House, where Chiron met us. "I see that Annabeth has shown you around camp?"
We nodded.
"Excellent." Chiron said. Suddenly a loud horn blew. "Ah, it is time for dinner. Please, follow me to the dining pavilion."
~*~Ω~*~
After dinner, we headed to the campfire. We sang a few songs, most of which I knew by heart. I did mess up a few lyrics, because I wanted to throw off anyone who was suspicious.
I reflected on what had transpired over dinner. Sera and I had sat with Chiron, since the Hermes table was full. I had noticed that the Seven (now probably the Six) had their own table, since they were all eating together instead of at their cabin tables. I saw Jason and Annabeth whispering with each other and glancing over at us, Leo laughing and cracking jokes with Frank, and Hazel and Piper talking quietly with each other.
I had also noticed that Nico sat alone at the Hades table. I was still protective of him, however hesitant I was to admit it. It seemed, even after all these years, he was still left out. Although, I did notice Will Solace glancing in his direction a few times.
Chiron stamped his front hoof, and everyone quieted down. "As most of you already know," he began. "We have two new campers." He motioned for us to stand. "Sera and Ryan."
"Who are their godly parents?" Someone called out. I scanned the campers' faces and found Leo Valdez was the one who had spoken.
"I-" the centaur began.
"If I may, Chiron?" Sera interrupted.
Chiron gestured for her to proceed.
"We know that Ryan's godly parent is Apollo, but we don't know who my father is."
Sera and I had discussed this before hand. Since Apollo had helped me so much in the past, and was very supportive of me, we decided he should be my "godly parent". We hoped he didn't mind.
"Well Sera, do you have any idea who your father may be?"
She shook her head. "Not really. I know he was travelling when I was born, and never returned home. My mother eventually told me I was a demigod when I started exhibiting strange powers, and when my father never claimed me by the time I was thirteen."
Chiron nodded. "That is strange. How is it that a satyr never found you at your school and brought you to camp?"
She shrugged. "I trained myself to control my ADHD and dyslexia so that I could fit in, and I also took martial arts, so bullies never bothered me."
Suddenly, a symbol blazed above Sera's head: a glowing green trident. Everyone gasped. Chiron bowed, and the rest of the camp, minus Percy and Sera, bowed.
"The bloodline is determined." Chiron boomed. "Poseidon-Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Lord of Horses. Hail Seraphina Seascape, daughter of the Sea God."
And there we go! It's a shorter chapter, but I put a big twist at the end! Review, follow, fav!
