12. Matthias
He walked through the forest and looked at the path before him he knew it all too well. Maybe his fellow campers thought he was gone forever and maybe he thought it was for the best. But something always told him that they knew he was out there and that he would come back. But even now walking back towards the camp he felt the urge to leave. He had been missing almost six months and though he was the cabin leader back at camp he only wished to appeal to the gods,or better said, his father. He had been told that he would never be worthy of such a title as the son of Zeus. He continued to walk forward there was nothing else he could do. The gods could choose there children and yet he felt sad.
It was bad enough dealing with the dyslexia and the ADHD to have to worry about being a misfit. Besides, ounce he was back at the camp he could tell his friends and brothers and sisters they would surely help him out. When he thought about it he felt happy and lucky to have a big family like his, everyone was there to help when things got bad. Then he was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness, it had been a while since he last heard from his father. The only way he thought he would get to hear from his father again was to disrupt the balance which the gods maintain.
As he got closer to the camp he heard the sounds of battle and the clanking of swords. He had to move now during all the noise or else he would surely be discovered. He made his way towards the main cabin sticking to the shadows. Ounce he was inside he looked for the only thing that kept the two camps from destroying each other: The book of knowledge.
Matthias took the book out from the drawer and put it in his backpack. He knew that ounce Natura came back to look for the book she would find it missing. Also since no one has access to the main cabin she would assume it was stolen. Shadow Camp would blame the campers from Camp-Half-blood and it would lead to both the camps destroying one another. The plan was perfect it would not fail. He ran into the darkness of the, forest then footsteps approached.
