After about an hour, we landed next to the Big House at camp and I shut off my music.

Chiron came outside in centaur form—I guess since I already saw him through the IM, he thought I wouldn't be too startled. He was right. Anyway, he went straight to business.

"Hello, Grace. It's nice to see you got here safely. Do you have any questions?" I shook my head. "Then, Aaron, why don't you introduce her to her cabin mates. She'll be in Hermes until she's claimed, as usual."

Aaron nodded and took off, motioning me to follow him.

"…And there's the archery range, the climbing wall, and you already know all the cabins." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw familiar honey-blonde hair. A second later, Aaron confirms by calling out, "Hey Annabeth, come meet our new camper." Annabeth smiled and walked over.

"Hey, I'm Grace, Undetermined." I told her, extending my hand to shake.

She took it, "Annabeth, daughter of Athena. You're the calmest new camper I've seen in a while."

I laughed, "Blame your senior scribe. I know the basics already. It's just a matter of changing them from the fiction category to the nonfiction." Noticing the look on her face, I quickly explained, "No, I don't have dyslexia and, yes, I have read all the Percy Jackson books. I've been reading them for years. Speaking of Percy, where is he?"

"Here I thought only the Athena campers knew about the senior scribe. And I was just looking for him. He probably isn't here yet. His private schools usually run later than most public do." I nodded and she turned to go. "See you later Grace!"

I turned to Aaron. "Introduce me to my cabin? I probably know everyone, but it will look weird for the new camper to know people she's never met, and I don't feel like explaining the books to the Hermes kids." With a nod, he led me to cabin eleven and opened the door. I glanced around inside. Seems I got lucky. Only Connor and Travis are here.

"Hey, guys." Aaron said to get their attention. "You have a new cabinmate."

They turned around and appraised me. I rolled my eyes. "Regular or Undetermined?" one of them asked. I think it was Connor.

"Undetermined. Got some space for me?" The heck with keeping quiet. I want to keep my stuff and they'll only leave me alone if they respect me.

"Guys, this is Grace. Grace, Connor's on the left and Travis is on the right." Nice, I was right. "And a word of advice to you both. Grace has mastered her bow. I'd leave her alone." I glanced at him, Thanks. He nodded to me and left, while I turned back to the two elves.

"So which spot is mine and when's dinner?"

Connor pointed to a bare spot in the corner and Travis said, "One hour."

"That works. I'll be wandering." I turned and walked out—with my bag. Hermes is the god of thieves—expecting them to follow and try to pickpocket me. Apparently, either Aaron's comment about my bow or my directness startled them, because they didn't follow.

I wandered around for a little while with no purpose in mind. Eventually, my thoughts turned to my godly parent, and how to get claimed. Today was Monday, which meant that, unless I wanted to wait a week to try to get claimed during capture the flag, like Percy did, I needed to find a way to get noticed. I decided to find Annabeth and ask how she got claimed. I had multiple reasons for choosing her, but that's for another time.

I found Annabeth in her cabin looking at battle diagrams, which made sense considering Percy would turn sixteen in August. She looked up as I entered.

"Hey, Grace. What's up?"

"I was wondering how you got claimed. I'm trying to think of a way to make my parent claim me. I don't want to wait until capture the flag Friday."

She set down her diagrams. "I got claimed during Capture the Flag about a year after I got to camp. But if we narrow it down, maybe your parent will feel obligated to claim you because they don't want you to figure it out on your own. Which parent is it? Mom or dad?"

I sighed. "I don't know. I have both of my parents. But we can narrow it down by what I like, can't we?"

"We could," she replied. "But that might take a while."

"Oh. Well, I know you're busy. I'll let you get back to your battle plans," I told her, putting disappointment on my face and throwing in the battle plans comment to startle her.

"Wait. How did you know I was looking at battle plans?" Hook, line, time to sink her.

"Easy. Percy's turning sixteen in August and you're a daughter of Athena. The only thing you would be doing during free time is going over battle plans." The look on her face was priceless. I wanted to know my parent, and now I had her interested in me.

"You know what? Let's figure out your parent. If we get close enough, they might claim you." She smiled, put down her plans, and picked up a notebook. "Let's start with the major gods. They have the most kids—that we know of anyway. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, Dionysus, Hera, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, Athena, Apollo, and Artemis."

"You can cross out the Big Three," I told her. "No child of Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades could have made it to fourteen in the mortal world without being attacked. And do the same for Dionysus and Demeter. I don't do plants. Hera doesn't have kids. I don't like to fight, which crosses out Ares, and I'm not a prep, which takes out Aphrodite. I would cross out Artemis, except for my bag, my eyes, and this." My bow appeared in my hand. Annabeth looked shocked. "That leaves Hephaestus, Athena, Apollo, and Artemis."

Annabeth broke in, "What do you mean your eyes? Your eyes look blue/gray. And how did you get a Hunter's bag and bow?"

"My eyes sometimes look blue/gray, but sometimes look blue/silver. My bow appeared when my stepdad turned into a Laistrygonian and my bag showed up on my bed while I was packing to come here. I can't figure out if Artemis broke her vow, or if she just likes me."

"Oh. Let's look at Apollo. Do you like to sing?"

"I can't sing at all, but I love music."

"All Apollo children can sing. Now Hephaestus. Do you build stuff in your spare time?"

I shook my head. "I love to fix things, but I don't build whenever I can. I usually read."

Annabeth looked like she had an idea, but didn't want to share it. "That only leaves Athena and Artemis." Right then, we heard some commotion outside. Running out, we saw someone fighting at the top of Half-Blood Hill.
