I'm sorry, I'm late. I had this mostly written out already, I haven't been able to finish it because of the amount of homework everyday, being a freshman is hard.

Well, enjoy. R&R. :D


Danny's POV:

I took a shower after Travis and Connor left to do some other pranks before lunch. I hadn't noticed how much my face was covered with dirt, neither did I notice how dirty were my clothes, at least I was able to have a nice, relaxing shower. The first in like three weeks. After I got out and dried off, I put on my new Camp Half-blood t-shirt, a pair of clean jeans, and my worn out sneakers.

Once back in the cabin, there were some other kids coming in, they were all taking off their armor, some were resting, and others seemed to be planning something. Some of them glanced up at me as I walked by to my bunk, they had all given me welcoming smiles. I thought it was really heart-warming, I was the new kid, and they treated me with some respect, at least to the point where they're at least polite, something I was rarely given back in Illinois. 'No, why am I thinking about that place? I now have a new home', I thought.

A few moments later, the Stolls stumbled in the cabin, worn out, like they were running for their lives. In a way they were as I heard someone yell out, "STOLLS!". The campers were snickering at them, as if that happened often.

"Oh, nevermind that", said Travis.

"What did you do this time?", asked a camper with a sly grin.

"Let's just say, we had a bit of fun with silly string on the Demeter cabin", chuckled Connor. "Um, renovated the inside of Nico's cabin with more silly string and pink," continued Travis. "And maybe found some new blackmail from the Athena cabin", finished Connor as he waved several folded sheets of paper in his hand and tucked it back in his pocket.

I heard a conch horn being blown in the distance.

"Alright then, Cabin 11, fall in!", yelled out the Stolls as everyone else rushed to form a single line and marched out. I was at the end of the line.

I noticed that Connor fell back from his place in the front alongside Travis, and caught up to me to give me a few instructions.

"I forgot to mention that you have to sacrifice part of your food to the gods," he said. "Oh, as for your drink, you whisper to the drink what ever you want, of course so long as it isn't alcoholic".

I nodded and said, "Thanks Connor".


At the dinning pavilion, there were many campers seated at their assigned tables, I looked around to find that Annabeth was with her siblings, all of them had blonde hair, and startling intelligent grey eyes, and Percy sat alone at the Poseidon table. Now that I noticed, there were at least four empty tables.

'I guess those are the Zeus, Hades, Artemis and Hera tables', I thought. I also knew that there were two other children of the Big Three besides Percy, however I didn't know their names. What I knew so far was that the son of Hades travels a lot, to do some jobs for his dad, he sometimes comes by but doesn't stay for long. As for the daughter of Zeus, she apparently became a Hunter of Artemis, so she's currently traveling too.

As I finally took my seat at the Hermes table, the nymphs served us some barbeque steak with mashed potatoes, and a salad. Everyone stood up and went to the campfire and dumped a good portion of food into the flames while praying to a specific god. I got up from my seat, and lined up almost at the end towards the campfire. While the line moved slowly, I was deep in my own thoughts, thinking about who should I sacrifice to, I knew it had to be my dad, but I didn't know who.

Before I knew it, it was my turn.

Like anyone else who went before me, I dumped a portion of my food into the blazing hot flames of the campfire, I was thinking for a few moments on what to say.

"Dad, whoever you are, please claim me, I want to know who you are", I whispered. And then walked back to the Hermes table to take my seat, before I could finally take a bite out of my meal, Chiron stomped his hooves to get the attention of the campers. Everyone fell silent and turned to him, well maybe except the Aphrodite table.

I took notice of the chubby man sitting next to Chiron. 'So that's Mr. D', I thought.

Mr. D lazily got up from his seat, "Well brats. As you all know, Capture the Flag is in two days, I assume Cabin 5 and 6 have already made some alliances with the other cabins, Chiron here will announce the teams before the game starts. If you have questions, you know where to find Chiron", he said and sat down.

Chiron then proceeded to speak, "Well, moving along, we have one more announcement". The campers seemed somewhat eager, "We have a new camper today, welcome Danny Fenton". The campers cheered and quieted down as Chiron said to finish lunch to go to our afternoon activities.

I finished my lunch feeling a lot better, even though I just got here, the campers already accepted me, without fully knowing me. But still, I kinda already knew that the camp had the same system among peers as school does in the social status. I knew I had to earn my respect, the campers were just being polite to me, maybe hold a little respect, but that's just it.

After lunch, Chiron approached me, he told me to just try out any activities for the day, just to see what I'm good at that might give us a clue of who might be my godly parent.

I figured I could just follow the Hermes cabin around to their activities, seeing as I had no clue where to go first.


We came back to Cabin 11.

I was exhausted from the long day, I hadn't been this exhausted since maybe I ran from Skulker that one time he shrunk me to the size of like an eraser. Once I finally got to my bed, I let myself fall on the mattress, enjoying the feeling of resting in bed and letting my muscles relax, even for a bit.

And not even a minute later, the conch horn just had to be blown, in time for dinner. 'Can't I have five more minutes?', I grumbled as I got up and lined up to go to dinner.

*Flashback: 5 hours ago*

Directly after lunch, I followed the Hermes cabin to their activities, we had first headed to Archery.

I picked out a bow that somewhat suited me better than the rest. At the archery range, the head counselor of the Apollo cabin showed me how to hold the bow and notch an arrow in order to shoot. After shooting my first arrow towards the target, the arrow was notched near the bulls-eye. 'That was pretty good for my first try', I thought.

After an hour of Archery, I was able to aim three arrows at the bulls-eye, the rest at the target surrounding the center. The Stolls told us that it was time to go to the next activity, which happened to be Rock Climbing.

One glance at it, and I was already able to tell I wouldn't make it out alive, well maybe I would but definitely with mayor burn injuries. The Rock Climbing wall had a bit more of a challenge to it, they had lava pouring down. What made me more nervous was seeing some campers being carried in stretchers with major burns on their arms, legs, parts of their faces and chest.

I decided to try it out anyways.


I was finally on the ground after climbing that climbing wall, I managed to not get burned all the way to the top, that is if you don't count the small burns on my arms, one major burn on my right leg, it ruined the jeans I was wearing, exposing and staining it with blood from the wound, I could barely put any pressure on my leg without it throbbing in pain. Another major burn was on my left arm, around the pink, damaged skin that ran from my forearm to my wrist, I could see the wound was bleeding.

One of the Hermes campers, I think his name was Chris, called for some Apollo campers to help me treat both wounds, unfortunately, I was carried in a stretcher to the infirmary, where they put me on a bed and quickly got to work, first they had me eat a small piece of Ambrosia so the wounds wound began healing themselves, however, because of the fact that demigods can only eat small portions, the Ambrosia was only enough to close some of the wounds.

Then one of the Apollo campers started treating my arm, cleaning the now dry blood and carefully put a cool wet towel on my arm to ease the pain before removing it and wrapped my arm with a soft cloth, wrapping it again with a bandage to hold it in place.

The injury on my leg was a bit more severe. The Apollo camper had to carefully cut my jeans directly where the wound was, peeling the cloth and disposing of it before cleaning the burn around the edges, and then again placed a wet towel on it, and left for a moment.

I was a bit confused, but then he came back with a needle and thread, setting them down beside him and preparing the needle, my eyes widened, 'Is it really that bad?'.

When he was ready to start, he looked over to me and said, "This might hurt a lot, but it won't take long, maybe just a couple minutes, ready?".

I could only nod and grit my teeth in pain as he began stitching the open wound.


After finally getting out of the infirmary, Chris was waiting for me outside to help me find where the Hermes had their next activity, he told me we were heading to the stables for Winged Horseback Riding as we walked, I wasn't sure what to think at first, but went along with it anyways.


Well, it didn't work out for me.

The Pegasus' were afraid of me, each time I tried to approach them, they backed away in fear.* So I just sat out this one, and patiently waited for the Hermes cabin to finish their lesson and move along.


On the way to Canoeing, the Stolls kept pushing me around on either side of me, Travis on my left, Connor on my right. It was annoying, but I was able to endure it for a while. At least until we were halfway there.

Connor pushed me into Travis for what seemed for the hundredth time. 'I've had enough of this', I thought angrily.

Before Travis could push me into Connor, I grasped his shoulder tightly, and pushed him to the left hard, enhanced with my strength from my ghost powers. He lost his balance and tripped, before he landed, I did the same with Connor, who stood in surprise at my action.

I walked ahead with the rest of the Hermes cabin to the lake, smiling smugly, leaving both in the dust.*


Well, turns out I had to sit this one out too, whenever I tried to canoe, the water of the lake seemed to move by itself and targeting me, knocking me off-balance. It didn't happen often, maybe just a couple times, but I didn't want to take my chances.*

This time, instead of waiting, I decided to check out other activities, so I headed to the arena.

I was almost there when Chiron called for me, he said I was to go with him to the armory to get a weapon for me to use.

At the armory, I chose a sword about 3-5' ft. long. The swords' hilt had a silver grip to it, the guard resembled part of a trident, the blade itself was black, engraved with a design I didn't recognize.**

It's sheath also had the same engraving as the sword.

I looked over at Chiron, even though he hid it well behind his smile, I could tell he was surprised as well as shocked. I couldn't tell whether it was from my choice of weapon or something else.

In the distance I heard a conch horn being blown, signaling that activities and classes were over, and that we had about an hour to do whatever before going to dinner.


*Hint #1 (The '*' will mean a hint)... shout out to whoever guesses Danny's parentage... *evil laugh*

**AN: That part gave it away didn't it? Oh well, hehehe, first person to review the parentage name gets a shout-out.

Next update might take a while...

PS: Image for Danny's new sword will be up on my profile on Saturday if you wanna check that out.
