Hi there! Just a few words before going on with the story-

Awesome One and PowerofWords12 are the most amazing people ever for being the first reviewers :]

Oh, and PowerofWords12 review was great because it was NOT a flame :D

Let's see… Yep, that's about it.


Last chapter…

I waved my hand through the message, after I said good bye to him. Love you too, dad.


Chapter 4- I get special armory

A few things you need to know if you ever go to Camp Half-Blood.

1. It's unpredictable.

2. Don't mess with the Ares Cabin.

3. Don't try to argue with a child of Athena (even if you are one, the argument can last an eternity, which is not good considering we're not immortal)

4. Mr. D. was, is and always will be insufferable. That, doesn't change.

The week after I got claimed was like a blur before my eyes. I decided I would try everything to see what my strenghts were.

But first, I made my first friend. A girl named Jasmin, one of my half sisters, sat next to me at breakfast the morning next to the claiming ceremony.

"Morning", she said, smiling. "How was your first night?", she asked.

"Um…". You have to understand, this was odd for me- I wasn't very… Social. "It was… good, I think", I said while watching her turn her drink from orange to apple juice. I have to get one of those goblets…

"So no weird dreams?", she asked. Suddenly, everyone at the table was silent, waiting for my answer.

"Eh… no, not that I remember", I said, frowing. I always remember my dreams, no matter how crazy they are.

Everybody groaned.

"Great…"

"Beginner's luck…"

"You wait…"

"That's a first!"

Jasmin laughed. I heard another bunch of comments like those and then faced her.

"What's wrong?", I asked, thinking something was wrong with me.

"Oh, they're just complaining because it is normal for a demigod to have clairvoyant dreams. Only some of us don't get one every night, so you're pretty lucky", she explained. "They give a hell of a headache, not to mention you can't rest properly", she muttered bitterly.

I didn't know what to answer. I decided to stuff my mouth with a large piece of toast instead.

"Do you have any armory yet?", Jasmin asked.

I had to swallow quickly, so I regretted the toast.

"No, not yet.", I replied. Great, now my throat hurts. I took a sip of my grape juice (my favorite). No, still hurts.

"I could go with you to get some, if you like", she said smiling.

"Thanks", I smiled back. It was so easy to be around my half siblings…

Annabeth, who had been listening all along, interrupted my happy thoughts.

"Guess we'll save Greek for later", she said.

Oh, crap. I totally forgot she was going to teach me Greek.

"Oh! I'm sorry Annabeth, I forgot…"

"Don't worry! I'm just teasing you!", she laughed. "We'll have plenty of time for you to learn".

I smiled, and finished my breakfast.


Jasmin went with me to the Hephaestus Cabin. When I mentioned I came with Patrick, she said we would try there first. No idea why, though.

"Patrick? As in Patrick Turner?", she asked, when I explain how I got to camp.

I don't know his last name… How could I forget to ask him something that simple?

"I don't know his last name", I confessed, a little embarrassed. "I only know he's a son of Hephaestus".

That seemed to be him, because Jasmin insisted to go to his Cabin then.

We stood before the brick made, factory-like Cabin, and because of all the noise that came from it, Jasmin had to knock three times, almost taking the door down.

"Who is it?", a hoarse voice asked from inside.

"Open up Maxwell!", Jasmin yelled over the noise.

"Tent? Is that you?", a boy around 16 opened the door. He was wearing gloves and had a burning piece of metal in his hand. "What brings you here?"

"Well, isn't that a nice, warm welcome. I'm showing Danielle around, but we want to get her armory first", Jasmin explained.

"Maxwell" frowned. "You know that we don't exactly make armory for everyone, Tent"

Jasmin winked at me, and smiled. "See, Danielle here knows Patrick"

"Oh… Right… Well, come on in, then", Maxwell said, smiling mischievously.

I understood nothing from that conversation, but got inside with Maxwell and Jasmin. Inside, the Cabin was full of gadgets, metal and montains of tools. The beds were way on the back, and looked more like shelves to me. They had so many stuff on them, it was hard to see that they were actually beds. On the metal panels I could see our reflections altered by the form of it, like circus mirrors. Jasmin, tall, skinny and beautiful, with her wavy black hair to her waist (she was one of the few kids of Athena who wasn't blond), her grey eyes and ivory skin, had suddenly a head that was way too big and was terribly fat; me, average height, not skinny enough to be anorexic (thank the Gods), tanned, with auburn hair and navy blue eyes… My brothers and sisters said I was the one that had the same features of our mother. I looked way almost like a two-dimensional cartoon, with feet big enough to be small dolphins. It was rather funny.

"So how's it going, Tent? You finally made up your mind that you can't resist me?", Maxwell asked teasingly.

"In your dreams, Jordan", she rolled her eyes. "So where is Turner anyway?"

"Oh! Right, you came for him, not for me", he winked at her. "TURNER! Someone's looking for you!", he turned to us, "Sorry to leave you, ladies, but I have work to do", he winked once more, and then went off to work on the piece of metal he had been holding. "Nice too meet you, Danielle!", he added, waving.

"Thinks a lot of himself, that one…", I said.

"You got that right", Jasmin said.

"Jordan, who's….? Oh", Patrick appeared, and he looked at Jasmin, then at me.

"Hello, Turner", Jasmin said, smiling. "Long time, no see"

"What are you guys doing here?", Patrick said, smiling.

"Well, Dan here wanted to get some armory", Jasmin started, looking innocently at the floor. She continued. "So, she thought that, who's better working with metal that a Hephaestus son?", she smiled.

"Oh… I see what you're doing Tent! And no!", he said, shaking his head, "I don't make things for other campers! But of course, you knew that", he said, cocking his head to the left.

Oh… I get it now. She wants him to make my armory, but since he doesn't do any for other campers in particular, she'll use the "she's-the-new-camper-and-she-doesn't-know-anything-about-this" excuse. I smiled internly. I considered myself a good actress.

"You won't do my armory?", I said looking as surprised as I could.

"Danielle, I'm sorry, I just don't do that. It would mean doing it for everybody!"

"Oh… Well, that's fine. I guess I'll use the ones that are made already", I sighed. "If only I'd known about this… I wouldn't be so disappointed…"

Jasmin looked at me and I swear she could have given me an Academy Award.

Patrick seemed to be in deep thought. Jasmin cleared her throat, making him flinch.

"Well, I guess we better go now, Dan, there's nothing we can do. Come on, I'll show you where we keep the regular armory", she said, pulling me with her.

We were about to reach the door, trying our bests not to burst in laughter, when we heard a growl.

"Fine!"

We turned.

"What?", I asked.

"Fine, I'll make you armory", he said shaking his head. "You'll be the death of me, Williams", he smiled.

"You will?", I asked brightly, "Thanks! Oh, thank you so much Patrick!"

"Just… Don't mention it. Okay?", he said, "No, really, don't mention it. Otherwise I'll have a line of campers waiting for "brand new armory", and I can't handle that. I only fix things for the others, never do things from scratch unless they are for the general use, or for one of my brothers", he sighed. Now, go now, I have a lot of work to do, thanks to you", he said teasingly.

"Don't you need measures or something?", I asked, genuinely curious.

"I already know everything I need to know", he winked. "I'll call you when it's ready. See you around, Tent", he added.

"You knew he would do this all along, didn't you?", I asked Jasmin.

"And you figured it out, too, eventually", she said, looking proud.

"Daughters of Athena, alright", I said, laughing.


Well… yeah, I used one of my very special friends for Dan's first friend!! Just to show how much you mean to me! :]
