A/N I don't own anything that you recognize

Thanks for all the good reviews

I won't post the next chapter until three reviews

To all of the people who submitted OC's, I hope I did them justice!

The next day I woke up in the Hermes cabin. Suddenly, the events of the previous day came back to me. Could I really be a demigod?

"Up! Up! Up! Every up! Ah you must be our newbie. Hi! My name is Macy Woods. Chiron told me that we had an undetermined camper and sent me to look after you, we wouldn't want you to end up on the wrong side of a sword, now would we?"

I couldn't tell if she was joking or not, but I got dressed and walked over to where Macy was standing. She had straight auburn hair that went to her shoulders with one purple highlight behind her ear. She had Hazel eyes that seemed to shine as if she was laughing at a private joke. She was much taller then me, about, 5'8 maybe. She was wearing a T-Shirt with words on it, but because of my dyslexia I couldn't read it. She wore regular jean shorts and neon green converses. Standing next to her, I felt very young. My skin, which usually looked tan in comparison to other people's skin, seemed paled in comparison to the deep tan that Macy wore, and I know my brown eyes never shined that way. And my hair? Macy's hair was straight and long and pretty, mine was wavy and just hung down by my shoulders, there was no way it could ever look that good. My first reaction was jealousy; she was only a few years older then I. How could she look so put together while I looked like something the cat dragged in? But I fought down the urge to be jealous. Macy seemed really nice, and at this strange camp, I was definitely going to need all of the friends I could get.

After we'd finished breakfast, Macy told me the plan for the rest of the day. Chiron wanted to see me in his office. After we were done in there Macy would take me on a tour around camp and we would try to find me an acceptable weapon. Then, after dinner, there was a camp-wide game of capture the flag and a campfire.

Macy walked me over to the big house.

"While you talk to Chiron, I'll wait over here," she said. I walked into Chiron's office, remembering the way from yesterday. I came to a big white door and knocked.

"Um, Mr. Chiron sir?" I called. "It's Addie, may I come in?"

"Sure come in."

I opened the door to find out that there was another man inside, not just Chiron. The other man had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. He was talking into a cell phone. He wore a jogger's outfit, and he reminded me of someone.

"Addie, meet your father. This is…"

"Hermes," the man replied, interrupting Chiron. "But Chiron I told you, thirteen years ago I didn't have any kids. She can't be mine."

"Hermes, Addie, sit down," it felt weird hearing my name in the same sentence as a god's, but from that point it only got weirder.

"Addie, there's a reason you never knew either of your parents," Chiron began. "And it's because you're not normal, even for a demigod. Your mother wasn't mortal. She was, is, Circe the enchantress."

"Chiron, know I know you're wrong. I never had a kid with Circ…"

"Circe the enchantress Hermes. About two weeks after Percy blew up her spa, you came to give her a message. She needed a new project to work on and when you came down, she got an Idea. She put you into a deep sleep and when you woke up you were none the wiser."

"That's great and all Chiron," I interrupted. "But how do you know all of this?"

"Thirteen years ago Circe came to me. Put a baby into my protection and told me to watch out for her. I put you into that foster home thirteen years ago, and every time you get kicked out and need to move to another I'm there too. There was one other thing Circe told me. I am supposed to give this to you when The Time is Right." (Anyone know books series that's a reference of?) Chiron bent down and opened one of the drawers of his desk and brought out the most beautiful-that is, if swords can be considered beautiful-sword that I had ever seen. It had a hilt wrapped in leather and had an opal on the hilt. Engraved into the leather was the word ισχύς, strength. I reached out to hold it but upon my touched it changed into a small ring with a leaf pattern.

"This metal is called imperial gold. It is fatal to monsters but can't hurt humans. Since you're a demigod both imperial gold and mortal weapons can hurt you. As you've probably noticed, it changes shape, it takes the form of whatever you need most. If you need a weapon it will either turn into a sword, or a wand," Chiron finished talking and looked at me and Hermes sitting there awkwardly in his semi-comfy office chairs. "I will leave you two to talk."

Chiron left the room. What on earth was I supposed to say to Hermes? "Hi!"

Doesn't exactly cut it when you're talking about meeting with a father that didn't even know you existed. Suddenly he spoke, his voice jarring me out of my thoughts.

"So…how have you been these past years? Get into a lot of trouble at school?"

"Yeah."

"That's good. Pulled any good pranks?"

"Yeah. Once I pulled this prank, I switched everybody's math homework for slightly cooked potatoes. It was hilarious! Nobody could figure out how I'd done it. I got suspended for a week though, that wasn't fun."

"Potatoes for math homework? That's a new one. Maybe we are related…" He looked me over once. "I've got to go. Official Olympus." And just like that, he was gone.

When I stepped outside again I found that Macy was still sitting where I'd left her.

"I've been claimed," I told her. "Daughter of Hermes. I got this too." I showed her my ring.

"Does it change into a weapon? Mine doesn't but some other kids have weapons that change," she pulled a knife out of her belt. It was about twelve inches long and had a small purplish-bluish stone near the hilt. In small letters on the blade the word "Bravery" was carved in.

"The gemstone is pretty."

"It's not really a gemstone. I am a daughter of Tyche, goddess of luck. The stone changes color based on my luck."

"That's cool. Hey, can we go to the Dionysus cabin?" I really wanted to show off my new ring/sword to Chen.

"Sure why, there's probably nobody inside right now."

"Why not? Where would they be?"

"I don't know, but I can show you around camp while we look for them. It can be your unofficial camp tour."

We walked around camp for about a half an hour until we found them in the arena. The head counselor, somebody named Lauren O'Neil according to Macy, was teaching Chen the proper way to hold a sword. She had chocolate brown hair and eyes and she was really pretty.

"Is every girl here pretty?" I thought to myself. Seeing her hold Chen in her arms, the way you had to when teaching someone the proper way to hold a sword made my blood boil in a way that I wasn't used to.

"Can we join?" I asked Lauren.

"Perfect! The other newbie, you and Jonah came in together right?" I nodded my head. "Then you will be perfect sparring partners. Jonah didn't have a sword, so we found him this one. Do you need one?"

"No." I took my ring off and immediately I changed into a three-foot long glowing bronze sword. We started to spar and I disarmed him in about three seconds.

"How did you do that?" Macy asked. "Can you teach me?"

"What do you mean?"

"That move, where did you learn to fight like that? That looks nothing like Greek or roman or any other style of fighting I have ever seen!"

"Well I took fencing for five years, so I guess I just am used to fighting with a saber. Swords and sabers aren't that different."

"Tonight's a capture the flag night, right Macy?" Lauren asked.

"Yeah."

"And Hermes is on the same team as us, right?"

"Yeah."

A/n Sorry if that was a slow chapter. Next chapter I hope is at least a tad more intriguing. They play capture the flag and some…interesting events happen at the campfire.
