WILL'S POV

Later that night after dinner, They all got ready to go down to the campfire. He had given Eliza, Cat, and Ryan a tour earlier after they got restless in the infirmary. He now guided them to the front benches of the campfire area where Jason, Piper, Annabeth, Percy, Leo, Calypso, and Nico were sitting. He introduced them to Leo and Calypso and sat down next to his boyfriend.

Nico looked uncertainty over Will's shoulder and Will followed his gaze. Wondering what could possible be more interesting over his shoulder. He was looking at the new demigods, and Will started to wonder, what if he's starting to crush on that new boy? Or even worse, one of the girls? He immediately shook the thought out of his head and payed attention to Chiron who was starting to tell the camp about the new Demigods.

Suddenly. A glow started to form over Ryan's head and the symbol of Athena formed. Everyone started cheering and Annabeth brought him over to sit with the other Athena kids.

Not long after, the same symbol appeared above Cat's head. Everyone cheered again and Cat went to sit with her brother with the rest of the Athena Cabin.

"When am I going to get claimed?" Eliza asked. She was slouched in her seat and her arms were crossed. She must have felt left out since her friends had both gone to the Athena section, Will thought. He felt Nico rest his head on Will's shoulder and Will leaned over and kissed the top of his head.

"Whenever your parent gets around to it, but before the time you are thirteen." Will answered. He was interested to know who her godly parent was. Her personality was a bit like each of the gods in different ways. She was also like Nico quite a bit. Same dark eyes, same black clothes, black converse high tops, and her choice of weapon was a sword similar to him.

"So soon." she said. "Since my 14 birthday is in 16 days." Will looked at her concerned. Her arrival at camp had been unusually late and she was already thirteen so sometime tonight she would have to be claimed. " yeah. Although its weird your not already claimed since its a rule that all gods must claim their children at either of the camps before they turn thirteen. So we'll just wait until your parent notices you've arrived and then your all good." Nico said. What? Nico? talking to a new camper? Willingly? Hmm. Will started to get suspicious.

One of the girls from the Hecate cabin started walking over to Eliza.

"Lizy?" She asked. Eliza looked up at the girl and grinned for the first time since she had arrived.

"Amelia? Is it really you? Valerie was so worried! And then she disappeared to and… and… and…"

"Its ok. Val's here too. Turns out we were all demigods. You, me, Valerie, and Cat. it would be funny if the rest of the gang was too." Amelia smiled. Amelia was really close with Lou Ellen, so Will knew her and most of her friends.

"Really? No wonder we all became friends so easily!" Eliza said. "So, who's your parent, like what cabin are you in?"

"Hecate, goddess of magic and the Mist. Val is in Hypnos. No wonder she likes sleep so much! Her father is the god of sleep!" Amelia looked too cheerful to be a close friend so maybe they just know each other form school. Then again, Will thought, She did make Eliza smile, so maybe they're closer than it looks.

Soon Eliza was talking with Amelia and another girl, Valerie. They all seemed to know each other pretty well and Cat came back over and they all chatted for a bit. The campfire songs started by Will's siblings and everyone joined in. Except Eliza. And Nico for that matter. Will was starting to realize how similar the two were. In the infirmary when he was checking out her shoulder and other injuries, he had noticed white scars up and down the insides of her arms. Mostly on her wrists. Like Nico. She must have dealt with depression when her friend died. And she wore all black, like Nico. and she always tapped her feet, much like his boyfriend. He guessed he would notice more similarities the more time she was at camp too.

All of the sudden the air around Eliza's head started glowing. Slowly, the light dimmed to reveal the symbol of Hades. Everyone gasped. Nico looked at her with wide eyes. Just then the god of the Underworld himself appeared.

"Hello, Nico." he greeted his son. Then he turned to Eliza.
