Chapter 10

When I first stepped into the Camp, it surprisingly looked like a regular camp, except, it had campers learning how to sword-fight, and a rock climbing wall, with nothing but lava pouring from the top, but then again, it's nothing unusual at Camp Half-Blood right?

Grover led us through students learning archery and students also learning about hand- to- hand combat. I can't believe that we would be actually using these skills someday, to fight for the gods, I mean; you would expect them to have more power. Everyone was staring at us like they were expecting us. We were used to this happening to us at Cahill meeting, so we walked straight along, through the meadows and finally got to a clearing.

"Welcome to Camp- Half Blood." Grover yelled, spreading his hands out and gesturing to the open fields.

"This place would be perfect for practise, don't you think, Madi?" Hamilton asked his sister.

"Yeah, I guess so, but wouldn't we have to have referees, they have to be strong enough to break us apart. " Madison reasoned.

"Then we could get your siblings, from Ares cabin to break you guys up, their, your half- brothers, and half- sisters, they would no doubt that they would have the same strength as you." Grover said, "Now if you can excuse me, there are some Aphrodite daughters I need to see."

He walked off on us, leaving us stranded on unfamiliar territory.

"Okay, I think we need to the Camp Director of this thing, anyone has any idea who he is?" Ned asked.

"I'm here." A man said, walking in front of us.

"Dionysus!" Everyone said, surprised.

"Yes, Yes, I am the Camp Director, and I see Grover left you unattended. Doesn't matter now, Cahills, I will lead you to your Cabins, and just relax until the Campfire begins. Okay, Ned you mind, running to the rocks and back, in less than 20 seconds?" Dionysus asked.

"But Dion…" Ted started to explain.

"No one says my name down here, names are dangerous, you better call me Mr. D, and address me be 'sir'. Understand?" Mr. D asked.

"Yes, sir." We all replied in unison.

"Good, now you were about to say something, Ned?" Mr. D asked.

"It's Ted, and I can't see, so… "

"You can't run to the rocks. Hmmmm, I'm coming back." And within one second, he disappeared just so he could reappear with this test tube.

"Okay now drink it up." Mr. D was saying. And Ted obediently obeyed. Then, he was just silent.

"I… can see." Ted stuttered.

Sinead was the first one to rush over to Ted, and hug him. She was crying. That's when everyone joined, and huddled over him. It was the first time everyone was this happy together, since the 39th clue was found on Cahill Island.

"I can see everyone, finally!" He was really happy. I was too, he could finally get back what he didn't have for months, he could finally stand by us side-by side, instead of the behind the scenes.

"Everyone, stop." Dionysus commanded, "Now, Ted, run to the rocks and back." Ted ran really fast, something no one expected, considering he was once blind and he couldn't run. He was eyeing everything as he was passing by. Everyone was astounded.

"How did you get Ted to see again?" Hamilton inquired.

"It was only a matter of time that he would get his sight back, considering he lost it for something as stupid as your clue hunt." Mr. D explained in a tone that said the conversation was done. But he still didn't answer Hamilton's question.

When Ted came back, Mr. D instructed us, to go to the big building called… something, I forgot, but he said it was where this centaur stayed, and to mention that Mr. D sent us. As we got, which took long, because, Ted insisted to see things all of us have seen already. I could tell Hamilton was happy because finally he wouldn't constantly get treated differently because he was the cause of Ted's eye loss.

When we got there we met this…

"Horse!" Hamilton yelled out loud.

"I just want to let you know that I am a centaur, not a horse." The centaur explained, "My name is Chiron."

"Where are we supposed to sleep and stuff?" Reagan asked.

"The harpies here, will show you to your cabins, you may relax after a long trip, there and travel around your new home, and meet us here at 7:00" Chiron said.

"Agreed." Ian said, then asked, "Where are the harpies?"

"Right here." Chiron said, and showed these, scrawny, teens, with wings. I really should be more surprised.

And we walked off to the places we were going to call home. For I hope a few months.

I'm like super sorry that I'm late at this. I was pounded with homework the first week of school, and possibly every week after that. I know, I didn't write a lot either, I was trying to get at least something online, which resulted in a very messed up chapter. Really sorry, and I hope this wouldn't be too much to ask but, would you review, at least just to show that you're reading.

Thanks A Bunch
