My father told me that Camp Half-Blood was located somewhere in Long Island. He knew where exactly it was, but he can't say where it is. So I decided not to ask anymore, well, not where it's located but I want to know what that Camp is all about. He sighed, "Personally, there are things there that I don't want you to participate in, but you're going to have to do everything you can at the Camp."

I feel like he's sending me off to war or something, "Hey dad?" I said, "Hmm?"

"Exactly who is Athena...? Like what is she?" I asked.

My dad thought carefully about what to say, "Athena, is the Greek goddess of Wisdom, she is also the goddess of courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. But she is known most specifically for her strategic skill in warfare and is often portrayed as companion of heroes and is the patron goddess of heroic endeavour. Meaning she makes all the plans of attack when the other gods fought the titans when they were at war with each other. If not for her, the gods wouldn't be as organized as they are right now. That's what she told me, but I think the gods would've won either way." My dad chuckled lightly.

After hearing how awesome my mom is…It makes me feel…bad, I mean look at me! I'm not smart, I don't have any skills and I certainly can't think of a strategic plan, I'd mostly die if I tried, or got whoever I was with killed. I started twiddling my thumbs around, "Even with this piece of cloth of my clothes, I should have been able to notice those monsters…But I was too stupid to even think about that…" I muttered.

My dad sighed, "Not everyone is born with brains or strength, not everyone is equal, everyone is different in their own way, whether it's having good grades or being athletic. Don't ever compare yourself to others, because they can't do what you can do. If you don't know what that is, then you'll find out soon enough. I know you will." I know he's trying to cheer me up, but I just can't feel better after hearing what my mom could do, and let's now forget everything my dad knows, he's smart, he's been thinking ahead like preparing clothes that can hide my scent. Plus he raised me alone…What can Oliver Beckett do? What does he want to do? I hate that I will never know…I'm such a letdown.

Six hours later, we were standing at exit of Long Island MacArthur Airport, right now my dad is on the phone, trying to get a taxi. This is really happing…I'm being sent away from my dad…Sure at times I wanted to run away, but…I didn't actually want to do it. I guess you can tell I still don't fully believe what he's told me. He came back with a smile, "I got us a ride…Now he just wait for five minutes."

I'm not happy with this.

Not one bit.

Five minutes later, a taxi was in front of us, I hesitated to get in, what if he's a monster too? Sometimes I ask myself stupid questions. I got in the back, "Montauk, Lighthouse Museum please." My father told the driver, he nodded and we were on our way to an entire new place. I felt anxious, what is this place going to be like when I get there? What's going to happen to me? I got my clothes and whatnot…But will it even matter? And how long am I going to stay here for? I fell sick.

An hour later it was sunset and we just arrived at the Lighthouse. "Why are we here?" I asked.

"Just a moment son, I have to talk to the cab driver." He told me and tuned to the driver, "Would you minding waiting for me? I'll pay whatever it comes up to." He said. The driver shrugged, "Sure."

My dad smiled and grabbed my stuff from the back, "Come on. There is something I want to show you." My dad put his hand on my shoulder, I nodded, and followed him. He took me to the beach and then we walked along the shore line, "Listen Oli, you will have to stay at camp until I know for sure our home is safe for you. Okay?"

I nodded, "Alright…"

My dad raised his eye brow, "You aren't excited to go here?"

I shook my head, "Like you said…Everyone here is special in their own way…But me? I'm just a clueless child of Athena with a regular past…Actually a dull past." I sighed deeply, "I didn't make any friends when I was in school, and I probably won't make any friends here either."

My dad stopped, "You can't always make friends on your first day…I know my boy, but have faith, all these kids here have troubled pasts, but that doesn't mean they're going to let that stop them. They will always want a friend, this is the best place for you, everyone here is like family, and they treat each other with respect." He said, "Now, walk forward and count to two hundred…And then turn right, after a couple of minutes you'll see other kids your age walking around…One more thing, don't look back." He told me.

My hands started shaking, I've never actually spent time with other people, and I've never spent more than three days away from home…I'm scared. "At the end of summer, I'll come and get you. And if you want to stay here the whole year, then I'll understand." He said and turned, "It's time to go." Why do I feel like crying? This isn't…What I wanted…Dad.

I turned and stayed strong, "One…Two…" I walked and decided to look behind, my dad was wiping his eyes as walked. I guess it's not what he wanted either…

One I got to two hundred, I turned to my right and saw…Exactly what my father said, kids my age walking around and talking. To my left was a wall people were climbing, but there was lava at the bottom. In front of me was a dining hall of some sort, twelve tables were in the middle of it, and at the back was a huge table. Back where I was before was a forest.

I gulped and went forward, I have to be strong…I have to do this.

I felt weird…People watched me as I walked, I didn't know what to do, who do I talk to? Where am I supposed to go? This is nerve-racking…

I stopped in what I thought was the middle of the camp. There was these old school cabins, but there were kind of strange…Each one was decorated differently. Twelve cabins in all, they made a 'U' two big ones at the back and rest were smaller, but each one could take up to thirty campers…I think.

"Hey?" Someone said behind me, I flinched and looked back. There was a girl with brown hair and green eyes wondering what I'm doing, "Uh…I'm new…Where-

"What!?" She exclaimed, I stepped back, "Did I say something wrong?"

She grabbed me by the arm and pulled me, I allowed her to take me to wherever, because I have no idea where to go. She took me to a house, it was four stories high, sky blue with white trim, like an upscale seaside resort. She took my inside and yelled for someone named 'Chiron' I heard someone coming towards us from what I assume is the living room. Well…I'm pretty sure humans don't clip-clop when they walk. This…Person I think walked around the corn, he was tall, I just about pasted out.

My mouth was hanging open, "Horseman…There's a horseman right in front of me…I think I'm going to…" I fell to the ground and everything was dark for a couple of seconds, "Is he alright?" A female voice spoke, "Yes he is, where did you find him again?" A male voice answered back.

I opened my eyes and saw that I wasn't crazy, there is actually a horseman. "He was wondering around the cabin's area, how did he get in here?" She asked.

The guy rubbed his beard, "There's only one explanation for this, he's a demi-god."

This will be all today, I'll have more chapters up this week.

Thanks for reading! I hope you have an awesome day!
