Danny's POV

We walked towards the big blue farm house. Percy was heading off towards a stable with the pegasi and Annabeth was heading off towards a cluster of mismatched cabins.

When we got to the farm house CHiron leant back in his chair to get up the steps. Sam immediately grabbed the back and helped him.

"Thank you Sam," He said. "You must meet the camp director, Mr D." As he said this he wheeled himself around the wrap around porch to the other side of the house. On this side sat a pudgy man in a tiger print Hawaiian shirt. This man was playing some kind of card game against three floating card hands. "Practicing Mr D?" Chiron asked.

"YEs," Mr D said. "Curse these card, this is an awful hand!" He put his cards down and the other hands dropped to the table. "More of them?"

"Yes," Chiron said. "Although two of these are third-bloods."

"Third-bloods?" Mr D scoffed. "Bah that's pure speculation.

"Then it is no longer," Chiron said. "These two are both half-bloods and halfas, and as Grover rightly said, 'You can't be three halves something, so they are third-bloods."

"Halfas?" Mr DA said. As He was about to continue a girl in a grey and green hoody hurdled the railing of the porch and grabbed Dani and I in a tight hug.

"I missed you guys!" She said.

"Cathy!" Sam, Tucker, Dani and I cheered.

"I thought I felt your presence in my head," I said.

"Whenever you're around all I smell is death," Mr D drawled. Cathy glared at Mr D, he blue - almost black - eyes flashing a dark, venomous green.

"What was that about speculation Mr D?" Cathy asked.

"Third-bloods do not exist, girl," Mr D said.

"Before I came here I thought gods didn't," Cathy said. "Alright if third-bloods don't exist explain this!" I watched as the shadows creeped closer to her. Then, with a bright flash, her rings snapped around her. These rings were different to mine and Dani's, they were black and ours were white. I summoned my rings, as did Dani. All three sets of rings split. Changing Dani, Cathy and I into our jumpsuits. Cathy's jumpsuit was similar to Dani's except it didn't expose her midriff, her logo was a CP on her shoulder and she had black and white boots that were knee length, a white stripe on either leg - the right slightly higher than the left -, a white v-shape below her black hood splits it from the black of her left shoulder. Her gloves came to her elbows, the left bring white and the right black. Her green hat, as well as Dani's red one, disappeared. Her black-blue hair became white-blue. Unlike mine and Dani's, her skin colour didn't change.

"Hmm," Mr D said. "How long have you three been part ghost?"

"A year-ish," The three of us replied in synch. Then we changed back.

"Okay I concede," Mr D said. "Third-bloods exist."

"Chiron," Annabeth said running up to the porch. "There are four spare sleeping bags in the Hermes cabin."

"Oh yes," Chiron said, turning to her. "Well I think these are special cases. So get Percy and once I've given them the tour you, Percy and Cathy can explain everything to them, alright?"

"Okay Chiron," Annabeth said. With that she ran back towards the stables.

"Grover," Mr D said. "We need to talk!" The satyr gulped. "You four cabin eleven remember that!" He then walked into the farm house followed by Grover.

"What did he do?" I asked.

"Whatever it was," Sam said. "How much trouble is he in for it?"

"He wasn't supposed to go out and find more half-bloods after what happened with Percy and Thalia," Chiron said. "He probably won't be able to do anything without supervision now."

"Well," Tucker said. "That's not so bad right?"

"Probably not, but it will put his career plans even further off course," As Chiron spoke he shifted his weight, as if he was about to get up. "As long as they keep the agreement they made with Percy he should be fine." Then the wheelchair bound man did get up. But the way he did it was odd. His legs didn't move, but he kept rising. I could see something white and furry coming out of the chair. It looked like the chest of a horse.

As if to confirm this a long shite leg appeared, with a shiny, polished hoof on the end. This leg was followed by another. Then suddenly there stood a white stallion with a man's torso where its head and neck should have been.

"Curse that chair," Chiron said. "A tour then?"

We looked at the volley ball pit and a cluster of strawberry fields. Chiron told us that fruit went mad around Mr D, I guess that means Mr D is-

"Chiron," Chiron I asked. "Who is Mr D?"

"Dionysus," He said. "God of wine."

"Why is he here then?" Sam asked.

"He chased an off-limits nymph, twice." Tucker snickered at this. "And his father, erm... grounded him here for a hundred years." Chiron answered.

"So if we're half-bloods-" Tucker started.

"And third-bloods," I added.

"Who are our godly parents?" Tucker finished, nodding at what I said. Sam and Dani looked interested. Though Sam more than Dani.

"That's what everyone wants to know, isn't it?" Chiron said.

He then showed us the woods. "Don't go in there unarmed," He told us, then there was the lake and not too far from that were the cabins.

"Zeus and Hera are at the head," Chiron said pointing at cabins one and two. Cabin one had lightening bolts streaking across its doors, with thick tall columns either side. It was high and grand. Cabin two looked more dainty with thinner columns and peacock tail feathers carved on it. The front was garnished with pomegranates and flowers. "Hera's cabin is honorary, she's the goddess of marriage so she has no mortal children."

"Oh," Dani and I said. "So why's cabin one empty?"

"Cabin one never has anyone in it anymore because of an oath Zeus, Poseidon and Hades made after world war II. Unfortunately all three have broken the oath; Hades with Cathy, Poseidon with Percy and Zeus with Thalia." Chiron didn't say why Thalia wasn't in cabin one so I guessed whatever happened with her was worse than I could could have imagined. I also didn't tell him that Poseidon had actually broken the oath twice.

Chiron then told us that the cabins on the left were the goddesses children and the cabins on the right were the gods children.

"Unfortunately for me," Cathy said. "My Dad has no cabin so I have to stay in the Hermes cabin." She grinned. "Though thanks to Dad I actually get a bed!"

Percy and Annabeth were waiting outside cabin eleven. "I'd be careful where you put your stuff, Hermes is the god of thieves," Percy said.

"Here's a sleeping bag and a bag of toiletries each," Annabeth said handing us the things.

A tall blonde boy with an ugly scar on his face came out of the cabin and over to us. "Hi," He said. "I'm Luke and I'm the counselor for Hermes cabin!" Luke looked about nineteen and the scar on his right cheek went from his eye to his jaw line. "Are these guys regular or undetermined?"

"Undetermined," Percy said. He looked at me in a way that said, 'Keep your mouth shut!' and looked back at Luke.

"Okay," Luke said, cheerily. "There's a spot over there that one of you could have," Luke pointed to a corner of the room that had no sleeping bags in. Tucker walked over and dumped his sleeping bag and toiletries. He seemed to be thinking about putting his backpack down too, but decided against it. "We have a spot over here," Luke said pointing to a space by one of the beds. Sam put her sleeping bag and toiletries down there.

"I think Danny and Dani can sleep near me," Cathy said. She had pushed through the crowd to a bed clothed in black surrounded by empty space.

"Okay, go ahead," Luke said. "I'll warn you though, that area reeks of death!"

"Haha, Luke," Cathy said. "It's not that bad!"

"Yeah well, you can't smell it," A random camper retorted. "It's a part of you!"

"Can we drop this please?" Cathy said. "Okay, I get it, I smell like death! Blame my Dad!"

Everyone looked at the ground as if expecting something bad to happen. But nothing did. "Okay so if you want to put your bags over there, nobody goes near that bed except Cathy, so..." Luke trailed off and we got what he meant.

"Dani, Danny you can put your bags under my bed," Cathy said. "Sam, Tucker you can too."

We did, when we came into the empty circle we got what everyone meant about it smelling of Death.

"I wish you'd done that for me," Percy said. "Instead of attacking me with a hellhound!"

"Percy," Cathy growled. "For the last time I didn't set that hellhound on you!" She yelled the last bit at the top of her voice. The shadows reflected this anger by licking towards her.

"I was just joking, sheesh!" Percy said and the shadows engulfed him briefly before flicking back to normal. Taking a deep breath Percy laughed nervously.

"Bring it up again and you'll wake up in the Ghost Zone or the Underworld!" Cathy said.

After Cathy, Percy and Annabeth explained everything about Camp Half-Blood and being a half-blood, or third-blood, we went down to the beach. Dani and I froze, the cabin had seemed vaguely familiar, as did the track we walked down, but the beach was so familiar we couldn't walk. Percy noticed and came back to us. "I know," He said. "But this beach is the beach of Camp Half-Blood and is kinda hard to avoid. You can't freeze up every time you see it!"

"Alright," We said shakily. I then walked the rest of the way, Dani close by me.

"You shouldn't keep secrets from your friends Danny," Cathy said.

"Damn it!" I said. "I can't keep anything from you!"

No, no you can't! She said in my head.

I thought we'd stopped this? I asked in her head.

I didn't know I could join you! Dani said in our heads. Her mind was so similar to mine it made my head hurt and from the fact my pain tripled it hurt Dani and Cathy too.

"Ow!" Cathy exclaimed, electricity buzzed around her and the shadows started licking closer.

"Ow!" Dani and I agreed, the sand beneath us froze and a chill spread through the air, the waves became bigger and bigger.

We broke mental contact and Percy calmed the sea down. "Are you going to tell us what just happened?" Tucker asked.

"Dani joined in a mental conversation, her mind is so similar to Danny's/mine it hurt," Cathy and I said.

"My powers over electricity and the shadows reacted to my pain," Cathy added.

Dani and I looked glanced at each other then looked at Percy, he gave a nod.

"The chill that spread, as well as the ice," Dani and I said, pointing down. "Were our ice powers doing the same. The waves well..." We trailed off, looking to Percy. He nodded again.

"We're Poseidon's kids, so our powers over water also reacted," Dani said, bluntly admitting what we found out last night.

"What? How do you know?" Annabeth said. I'm not surprised she reacted like this, from what she'd just said she has been waiting her whole life for a child of the big three to arrive and now four arrive in the space of two weeks.

"Annabeth, the three of us had a dream last night and Poseidon told us that Danny and Dani were his kids," Percy said.

A conch horn blew. "You guys should go back to cabin eleven," Annabeth said.

"Yeah, come on guys," Cathy said, before she sprinted off up the trail, she wasn't heading for the cabins but a shadow of a tree a few feet up the trail. When she reached it she disappeared.

"How did she do that?" Tucker asked.

"Shadow travel is a talent of children of Hades," Percy said. He then went up the hill.

We arrived at cabin eleven just in time to join the back of the line. Apparently we were in order of seniority, so Dani, Tucker, Sam and I were at the back and Cathy was just in front of us.

"Hey guys," She said. "What took you so long?" She asked, tipping her head to the side in a mockingly innocent gesture.

"We had to walk," Sam said crossing her arms and tapping her combat boot against the floor.

"Oh," Cathy said sarcastically. "Right yeah walk!2

"Shadow travel!" Dani exclaimed. "That is so cool!"

"Yeah I know," Cathy said, nodding her head. " But you guys can breath underwater and talk to fish and horses and all kinds of sea creatures!"

"Really?" I asked, she nodded. "Way cool!" We walked towards the dining pavillion with long stone picnic benches inside. Table eleven was so packed that Dani and I had to float at the end.

We had barbeque chicken and wedgies. Just as I was about to take a bite a dark green ecto ray knocked it out of my hand. "What was that for?"

"You have to make an offering to the gods!" Cathy replied. Dark green smoke still rising from her finger.

That's when I saw everyone getting up and walking to a big fire in the centre. "Offerings?" I asked.

"Yep," Cathy said, she then got up and walked to the fire. I dropped my legs and followed, Dani, Sam and Tucker behind me.

Cathy took the biggest piece of chicken and a handful of wedgies off of her plate and dropped them into the fire, I heard her say, "Hades," As she did this.

I didn't know which god to give my food to so in my head, and Cathy and Dani's heads, I said wherever you are Poseidon claim me, I then took a handful of wedgies and two medium sized chicken pieces and dropped them into the fire. The smell was not what I was expecting! It wasn't the smell of burning food!

It smelt of a fresh sea breeze rolling across Amity Park as I did my morning patrol, chocolate, caramel and fudge cookies baking in the oven, a dozen barbeques burning in a summer evening and dozens of other delicious smells! I understood why the gods liked these offerings so much.
