I was on my way to Camp Half-Blood with my mother Percy Jackson, and my baby sister Aurora Jackson who was complaining all the way. It didn't matter how many times my mother told my sister to be quiet she kept on going after half an hour due to traffic from New York to Long Island.
I knew he was going to miss my mum, and my sister at times. It almost outweighed the excitement to see my mother's second home where he spent many summers here. I wondered if there was any children of Poseidon here if my mother had any siblings if I had any uncle or aunts my age here.
mum had pulled up to a stone arch with the stone pillars they used for buildings I grabbed my stuff for the boot of the car, when I was about to walk through the arch way my mum pulled into a hug which I returned. When mum was walking back to the car I noticed he got. My sister out also as they were going into the camp with me too, dear gods no I don't want to be embarrassed with my mother there too. "I need to see my baby boy through the barrier." Mum told me as he walked through the barrier after five seconds.
"Ah Percy wonderful to see you again my boy." A centaur said to my mother who smiled brightly at the centaur as they hugged one another like old friends.
"Chiron it's good to see you too, this is my daughter Aurora and over there is Kai who is just coming to camp." Mum said to Chiron who returned my mother's smile who greeted my sister as she was babbling on. Oh it was this Chiron the trainer of heroes both mum and dad had told me about him, for however long he is needed he will be immortal.
"Kai it is good to meet you." Chiron came up to me since I was in my own little world I smiled politely at the man who seen more death than the god of death himself. I held out my hand to shake his my mother instilled manners into Aurora and myself. Chiron took my hand and shook it, I smiled a the old centaur who smiled back.
"It is good to meet you too sir." I said to him, he smiled at me and clapped a hand on my shoulder, and guided me to the amphitheater where other Demigods were. Already seated by cabins I looked around to see if I could spot my cabin, kids from cabin 7 the cabin for us Apollo children. Even though I did see some blonde haired kids it didn't mean that they were my brothers or sisters.
"Heroes, Nymphs, Satyrs and Mr. D. I wish to welcome Kai Jackson to Camp Half-Blood."Chiron announced to the group some was intently at me for some reason, while the rest was looking like I was the new kid on the block which I was. When everybody looked at my head I looked up and saw a golden lyre and sea green trident near the prominent gold lyre. "Hail, Kai Jackson son Apollo legacy of Poseidon." Chiron announced there was clapping from the crowd there was someone coming my way.
"Hi Kai. Im Simon cabin leader for Cabin 7." Simon said to me as he held out his hand to shake and I shook it back. Simon reminded me a lot of dad his blue eyes our blonde hair he didn't have dads face though must be his mums face he has. Simon was seventeen years old or so maybe younger. He guided me to our cabin which shone so bright in the sun, I had to suppress my giggles it was just like our dad to stand out.
I had a wonderful night in the cabin with with my cabin mates, the next morning wasn't too bad I had training like archery, sword fighting, hand to hand and what not. During a break I met this girl Eliza, well her actual name is Elizabeth Miranda Stoll-Gardner she was a legacy of Hermes and Demeter but to me she was the prettiest girl there, well being an eleven year old boy anyway.
I mean that could all change in an instance right? I could just think a girl is pretty and be with her when we grow up people change right? I felt like a Cupid's arrow had hit me right at the moment I was looking at Elizabeth. Or perhaps it was Aphrodite who was weaving her love magic through the air? Ah who knows with this stuff way too complicated.
While at breakfast everyone kept looking at me like I was some sort of freak, it honestly made me self conscious about myself. "Hey I know you, you're Percy Jackson's kid right?" A kid came up to me I had no clue who he was or where he came from but the question caught me off guard.
"Yeah that's right." I answered not knowing what the outcome would be with this question or the answer. Why would they ask something like that to begin with? Trying to mess with my head?
"I heard he was a hero saved the world twice, you've got big shoes to fill in." The boy with greyish eyes said as he walked away I couldn't help but think he was right I had to prove myself or I was going to live in the shadow of my mother.
"Don't listen to him Kai, the kid lost his mother and his father didn't want him he is a legacy for Athena. Rumours had it his mother gave your mother hell for not being with her." Simon said I couldn't help but feel sorry for the kid, I don't know what I would do if something happened to my mother. His own dad did not want him? That is just sad he had no one, I felt bad because no one deserves that.
