Daniel: Hello readers. Also tell this dumb ass of a writer to calm down. He needs it.
Anyways review and enjoy!
Next morning…
Light, a lot of light hit his face. Daniel's eyes flickered to life before they groggily and slowly opened. And he did not know where he was. Like that one time at that party…
The events of the previous night began to make its way back to his memory. Grover being a Satyr from the old Greek times, being attacked by the Minotaur before he and Percy managed to kill it, Sally gone and being found by Mr. Brunner… who had a horse body.
He looked over to see Percy lying on a bed similar to him with that blonde haired girl feeding him some weird liquid looking substance.
"Who are you and what are you feeding him?" Daniel questioned as he looked over to her.
The girl looked about the same age as Percy. She had tanned skin with long blonde hair that curled at the back. She had grey eyes and wore an orange shirt that said Camp Half Blood on it along with a blue skirt that stopped just above her knees and blue sneakers.
"Whoa don't scare me like that," she said slightly startled.
"I apologize for frightening you but I am worried of what you are feeding my friend there."
"It's uh, ambrosia. Don't worry it will heal him," she responded seeing the suspicious look on his eyes.
"Oh, well thank you for helping him," Daniel said, "Anyways, I'm Daniel Rider."
The girl looked at him slightly as if she was studying him before a smile made its way to her face and shook his hand. "I'm Annabeth Chase. It's nice to meet you too."
"So can you tell me where I am?" he asked looking around.
"You're at Camp Half Blood. Come on I'll take you to Chiron and Mr. D. They will be better at explaining everything to you," she said before leading Daniel out the room.
"You're in the medic wing at the moment. You and your friend were brought in late last night. Caused a bit of a ruckus," she said as Daniel looked all around as he saw Greek lettering all above the wall and on the door. Yet somehow he found he could read it pretty perfectly.
"So… any family members you know of?" Annabeth asked.
"My dad, my uncles and aunt, and my three cousins, Nyx, David, and Natalie," he answered.
When the two made it outside Daniel looked around and felt slightly amazed of the place
From what he saw the landscape was dotted with buildings that looked like ancient Greek architecture. There was an open-air pavilion, a large amphitheater, a circular arena that had a lot of training dummies scattered over it with a few kids hacking away at them with swords.
There were white marble columns sparkling in the sun.
In a nearby sandpit, a dozen high school-age kids and satyrs played volleyball. Canoes glided across a small lake. Kids in bright orange T-shirts like Grover's were chasing each other around a cluster of cabins nestled in the woods. Some shot targets at an archery range. Others rode horses down a wooded trail while some flew on horses with wings.
'Incredible.' He thought as he looked around.
They headed over to a large building bigger than the rest that had an open porch on it and there were two people sitting at a small table playing some kind of game.
When he neared he saw the first guy was in a wheel chair and immediately recognized.
"Mr. Brunner?" Naruto questioned, as he thought he was meeting a named Chiron. "My boy it's good to see your up," he said wheeling over towards them.
"You must have questions. Come take a seat" he said pointing to a chair next to him. "Plus here I am known as Chiron. Mr. Brunner was just an alias."
Daniel nodded before the now named Chiron looked over to his right and shouted "Grover come over here please."
Daniel looked over and saw Grover sprinting towards him and had a shoebox in his hand. His running with his goat legs made him as fast as a track star since he left a small trail of dust behind him.
"Daniel," he said putting the box down before giving the redhead a hug, "Its good to see you up and about."
"Daniel," Chiron said as Daniel sat down next to him." I would like to introduce you to the camp director Mr. D."
Daniel looked over and looked at the other man who was sat around the table with a coke can in his hand. He wore a leopard print shirt and had messy black hair and was a little on the chubby side and as rocking the bearded look.
'Please don't be a jackass.'
"Right, right well welcome to camp I guess," Mr. D said with very little care in his voice.
'Ok, he's a lazy ass. I can deal with that.'
"Thank you for bringing him over Annabeth," Chiron said before Annabeth gave a nod and jumped off the porch and ran off.
Daniel, turned his gaze to her as she left before saying, "So far I'm at a camp that I don't even know much about, last night I found out that Grover was a satyr and we were attacked by a half man half bull right?" He said getting a nod from Chiron and Grover and a burp from Mr. D. "Great."
"Just tell me what I need to know, Chiron," Daniel said.
"Very well. To start off, Daniel you are not an ordinary person. You have come to believe that you are a mortal, just a regular person just like everyone else however that is untrue and far from the truth. You are what is known as a half blood or as you may now it from Latin Class as a demi god."
"The Greek gods from the old stories and from what are believed to be myths are very real and still exist to this very day. Over the years they moved from country to country, continent to continent until they eventually wound up in America. From time to time they come down to earth and as you so delicately put it on the trip to the museum, they hook up with mortals" Chiron said getting a chuckle all round even from Mr. D.
"This camp is a place where many demi gods just like yourself come to train, meet other demi gods and form close friendships. From time to time even a quest is issued though one has not been issued for some time. For many Camp Half Blood is a place that many have come to call their home due not being able to live in the mortal worlds due to their scent which attract monsters just like the one you encountered last night or they simply don't have anyone to go back to."
Daniel took everything in and only had one thought, 'So my mom is a goddess. Dad as soon as I come back to you, I. Will. Kick. Your. Ass.
Unknown place…
Strife was busy fighting demons that were planning breaking the balance of good and evil, when he sneezed.
'I feel like I have something much more dangerous to deal with after this.'
Back with Daniel
"I know this is a big change and it will be a little strange at first but you will get use to it and you will adjust. Many here were just like you and given time they settled in and got use to it. I'm sure you shall too."
"So your saying the Greek gods really do exist and reside here in America and I am the son of one of them?"
"Pretty much" Grover answered.
"Right. Well I conclude that my mother is one of the goddesses," he said, catching the attention of the three people in front of him.
"Why do you think that?" Chiron asked.
"I still have my father, so that leaves my mom, unless god's can give birth. Well there was Zeus…" Daniel rambled.
Thunder rumbled.
"Be careful Daniel, names have a powerful affect," Chiron warned.
"Yes sir, can I also say that, Mr. D are you one of the god's as well?"
Mr. D looked impressed. "Yes how did you know?"
"Let's say I can see your godly aura, no matter how repressed." Daniel answered.
'This has become interesting. Has father known about these gods, or do I have to mention them to father and Death,' Daniel thought.
"Now I'm interested in knowing your godly parent," Mr. D said before he summoned a glass of wine on the table and was about to drink it before Chiron spoke up.
"Mr. D your restrictions Chiron said getting rolled eyes from Mr. D.
"Right, right forgot. Father really enjoys punishing me," he said before it disappeared.
"Your Dionysus, the wine god," Daniel said getting a nod from Mr. D. "That is correct. You are impressing me more and more."
"Anyways, Grover, why do you have a box?" Daniel asked pointing to it.
"Oh yea, Daniel I think this is yours."
Daniel looked at Grover curiously before he turned his attention to the box. He lifted up the lid and found that is gun was in there.
"Grover… thank you for finding it. I really mean it," Daniel said with gratefulness shining in his eyes.
"No worries, bud it's the least I could do since you and Percy got me here. I should have protected you but I failed." Grover's head looked down but Chiron clasped him on the shoulder.
"You did a good job Grover. That is two more you have bought to safety."
"It should have been five," he whispered causing Chiron to get a sad look on his face.
"Grover why don't you take Daniel on a tour of the camp. I'm sure he is eager to see what is around here," Chiron suggested.
"Sure" he said getting up and motioning Daniel to follow.
"Good bye Chiron, trainer of heroes," Daniel said as he left, leaving a smile on Chiron's face.
'He is a smart one,' Chiron thought before returning to the game.
Still with Daniel…
"Well first the building we were just at is known as the big house. Basically that is the HQ of the camp and where you will most likely find Chiron or Mr. D," he said getting a nod from Daniel. As Grover showed Daniel around the red and black haired teen saw many kid around his age and a few that were older and younger running around all wearing their bright orange shirts. Some were running around with sword, bow or other assorted weapons in their hands. Others had maps or books while others carried around tools.
Many of the other campers glanced at him when he walked past mainly to see what the new camper was like. They had already heard about how he and Percy defeated the Minotaur during the night. While some were impressed, others were a little jealous that they got the opportunity and they didn't.
Grover then led them through the giant strawberry field. Daniel took a long whiff at the area and he found himself sighing happily. The place smelled heavenly.
All around there were satyrs and other children who were tending to the strawberry fields. Grover explained that the demi-god children of Demeter took up the task of keeping the strawberry field in good condition along with satyrs playing their magical songs to help them grow. Not only that but also the strawberries helped pay some funds towards the camp. It might have been a secret camp for demi gods but it still needed money from the mortal world.
Once they exited the strawberry field they went past an archery range that had a large group of children varying from ages wielding bows and arrows shooting at the targets. They seemed pretty good since most were hitting just around the center.
"Over there is the canoeing lake. We have canoe races from time to time" he said pointing towards a giant lake that had small dock located on the edge with a roe of canoes and smaller looking boats around it.
"And over there is the stables" he said pointing over to a large stable just over by the hill." That's where the horses and Pegasus's are," he said. Daniel noticed a pretty raven-haired girl tending to the horses.
They continued looking around the camp with Grover next showing the amphitheater and then a giant wooden arena. Grover explained that the arena was where they had practice fights and special games while the amphitheater was where they had big sing a long's and told stories.
"Ahh, here we are" Grover said as they exited the strawberry field and Daniel found himself staring at an assortment of cabins that were all in a U shape. They were cabins of all shapes and sizes and all looked much different from one another.
Right in the center of the U shape was a stone lined fire pit. Sitting next to the pit was a girl who looked around eight years old. She had brown hair with a small bandana covering her hair and wore a brown dress that went down to her knees. She turned and looked at him with a pair of warm chocolate colored eyes before she gave him a warm smile. When she looked at him he saw her mouth a few words to him.
'Soon, Daniel, soon' she seemed to say before she got up and stood in the fire before she disappeared leaving a slightly shocked Daniel staring at where she once sat. He was taken out of it when he heard Grover's voice.
"These are the cabins where you will stay. Each cabin represents one of the twelve Olympians and when your parent claims you, you will stay in their cabin. But for now you will stay in Cabin eleven the Hermes cabin since you have not been claimed yet. That's where everyone has not been claimed go," he said pointing over towards a cabin that looked the most like an actual cabin.
"Why are so many empty?" he asked pointing towards a select few that looked great but he could see they were bare and empty on the inside.
"Oh well Hera is the goddess of marriage so she doesn't have affairs with mortals. Therefore she has no demi-god children. It's just there as an honorary thing. The Zeus cabin won't have any due to the big three, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades making a pact for no more demi god children due to some bad past events. The same with the Poseidon Cabin," he said pointing towards three cabins one, two and three.
Cabin one was a marble building looking like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The doors were made of bronze and had symbols of lightning bolts on the side.
Cabin two was similar to cabin one but had peacock like design on the walls and columns while Cabin three was a low building made that had walls made of some kind of grey looking rock material and had sea shells plastered all around it. On the front door there was a large symbol of a trident on it.
"How come Hades or Hestia doesn't have a cabin?" he asked.
"Well Hades is not really welcome up on Olympus so they didn't see a need for a cabin here. Hestia took an oath to remain a virgin like Artemis and Athena plus she is one of the friendly gods. She doesn't see the need for a cabin since she has no children. Though I'm surprised you asked that, many forget about Lady Hestia, which is a shame. She truly is the most likable of the gods."
Daniel felt a pang of anger at the mention of people forgetting her. 'This is the first,' he thought.
"Well that's about it man, that's the gist of the camp. I should get back to Chiron and then check in on Percy."
Daniel nodded. "Sure I think I might keep looking around if that's okay. You know get a lay of the land."
"Sure that's no problem. I'll see you later. Find me if you have any questions or anything" Grover said before he sprinted away back through the strawberry fields.
As Grover ran of Daniel looked around the area wrapping his head around everything he had heard today. Gods, other types of monsters, he may have been a horseman but this still surprised him a bit.
He spent the next couple of hours looking around the camp, making sure he knew where everything was. He went down to the beach only for a group of women with elfish feature to flirt with him. It made him feel pretty uncomfortable so he high tailed it out of there leaving the girls there a little disappointed.
As the sun began to set among the camp he had walked up onto the hill and sat underneath the giant tree and watched as the sun began to set. The orange yellow colors from the sunset lit showed the camp in a beautiful light and reflected and glimmered of the ocean and rivers.
He heard a conch horn bellow out but he didn't think anything of it.
"Here you are Daniel." Daniel whipped his head around to see Chiron galloping over now in his centaur form. He had to whistle in amazement. His horse half was white in color with a few scar that in various places on his horse half. No doubt from training past heroes and fighting in battles.
"I trust Grover gave you the tour?" he asked getting a nod of confirmation from him. "That's good. Come the horn that went off was to let people know dinner was ready. We are heading over to the dining pavilion. That's where Mr. D will introduce you to everyone. You and Percy have caused quite the stir and many are interested in meeting you.
"Yeah I bet," he muttered to himself as he and Chiron made their way down the hill.
Don't forget to review!
