pawnofriasgremory: Well, I'm starting to thinking making it three girls to go with Damian is a little much. Besides, Zoe would fit the big sister role.
SpeedMaster642: Gotta agree.
chungorion15: Thanks.
Disclaimer: I do not own Devil May Cry or Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I only own the OC Damian Redgrave.
The light from an open window shone brightly on Damian's face causing his eyes to flicker before they groggily and slowly opened and he found himself staring up at a ceiling he did not recognise.
The events of the previous night began to make it's way back to his memory. Grover being a Satyr from the old Greek times, being attacked by the Minotaur before he and Percy managed to kill it, Sally gone and being found by that raven haired girl.
He blushed slightly at the memory of the girl before he heard a voice coming from next to him. He looked over to see Percy lying on a bed similar to him with a blonde haired girl feeding him some weird liquid looking substance.
"Dammit, what was stolen?" He heard her mutter as she put the spoon into Percy's mouth.
She stiffened when she felt the metal of a sword against the side of her neck. "What are you feeding him and who are you?" Damian demanded with narrowed eyes, looking her over.
The girl looked about the same age as Percy. She had tanned skin with long blonde hair that curled at the back. She had grey eyes and wore an orange shirt that said Camp Half Blood on it along with a blue skirt that stopped just above her knees and blue sneakers.
She stood carefully and Damian lowered Judgement but kept the sword in hand as the girl turned to him.
"Was that necessary?" She asked him.
"Strange girl I don't know feeding my best friend something I've never seen before after he just lost his mother? Yes, it actually was." Damian said in a deadpanned voice before rolling his shoulders and neck as he got rid of the stiffness in his body.
"How are you up? You shouldn't be awake for another day at least, let alone fully healed. I mean, you got slammed into the ground repeatedly." The girl said in surprise.
"I'm a fast healer." Damian said dismissively before looking at her and he decided to be nice and extend his hand. "Name's Damian Redgrave."
The girl looked at him slightly as if she was studying him before a smile made its way to her face and shook his hand. "I'm Annabeth Chase. It's nice to meet you too."
"So, mind telling me where I am?" Damian asked with his arms crossed.
"You're at Camp Half Blood. Come on I'll take you to Chiron and Mr D. They will be better at explaining everything to you." she said before leading Damian out the room.
"You're in the medic wing at the moment. You and your friend were brought in late last night. Caused a bit of a ruckus," she said as Daniel looked all around as he saw Greek lettering all above the wall and on the door. Yet somehow he found he could read it pretty perfectly.
"Yeah well, we couldn't exactly be quiet when being chased by Pasiphae's son could we?" Damian asked dryly.
"You know your Greek history." Annabeth stated, looking slightly impressed.
"My dad made me read tons on Greek mythology, became a favourite hobby of mine growing up." Damian said.
"Your dad? Well, what about your mom?" She asked... or more like interrogated him.
"Never met her." Damian said casually.
Annabeth studied him, examining his features closely. 'Hmm, the white hair is something I haven't seen except with Khione's children, but he doesn't share similarities to them. He's skilled at fighting, that's clear enough with that sword he's got, but he isn't one of Ares or Athena's. And those eyes... silver eyes? I've never seen anyone with such eyes.'
When the two made it outside, Damian looked around and felt slightly amazed of the place
From what he saw the landscape was dotted with buildings that looked like ancient Greek architecture. There was an open-air pavilion, a large amphitheater, a circular arena that had a lot of training dummies scattered over it with a few kids hacking away at them with swords.
There were white marble columns sparkling in the sun.
In a nearby sandpit, a dozen high school-age kids and satyrs played volleyball. Canoes glided across a small lake. Kids in bright orange T-shirts like Grover's were chasing each other around a cluster of cabins nestled in the woods. Some shot targets at an archery range. Others rode horses down a wooded trail while some flew on horses with wings.
'Amazing.' Damian thought.
They headed over to a large building bigger than the rest that had an open porch on it and there were two people sitting at a small table playing some kind of game.
When he neared he saw the first guy was in a wheel chair and immediately recognized.
"Mr. Brunner?" Damian questioned, as he thought he was meeting a guy named Chiron.
"My boy, it's good to see your up," He said wheeling over towards them.
"You must have questions. Come take a seat." he said pointing to a chair next to him. "Plus here I am known as Chiron. Mr. Brunner was just an alias."
Damian nodded before the now named Chiron looked over to his right and shouted "Grover, come over here please."
Damian looked over and saw Grover sprinting towards him and had a shoebox in his hand. His running with his goat legs made him as fast as a track star since he left a small trail of dust behind him.
"Damian," he said putting the box down before giving the Devil Hunter a hug, "Its good to see you up and about."
"Damian," Chiron said as Damian sat down next to him." I would like to introduce you to the camp director Mr. D."
Damian looked over and looked at the other man who was sat around the table with a coke can in his hand. He wore a leopard print shirt and had messy black hair and was a little on the chubby side and as rocking the bearded look.
'Please don't be some asshole.' Damian thought to himself.
"Right, right well welcome to camp I guess," Mr. D said with very little care in his voice.
'Ok, he's a lazy ass. I can deal with that.'
"Thank you for bringing him over Annabeth," Chiron said before Annabeth gave a nod and jumped off the porch and ran off.
Damian turned his gaze to her as she left before saying, "So far I'm at a camp that I don't even know much about, last night, I found out that Grover was a satyr and we were attacked by Pasiphae's son, am I getting this right so far?" He said getting a nod from Chiron and Grover and a burp from Mr. D. "Huh. Alright, what's going on, Chiron? Give it to me straight, I can take it."
Chiron nodded. "Very well. To start off, Damian, you are not an ordinary person. You have come to believe that you are a mortal. Just a regular person. just like everyone else however... that is untrue and far from the truth. You are what is known as a half-blood or, as you may now it from Latin Class, as a demigod. "
"The Greek gods from the old stories and from what are believed to be myths are very real and still exist to this very day. Over the years they moved from country to country, continent to continent until they eventually wound up in America. From time to time they come down to earth and as you so delicately put it on the trip to the museum, they hook up with mortals" Chiron said getting a chuckle all round even from Mr. D.
"This camp is a place where many demi gods just like yourself come to train, meet other demi gods and form close friendships. From time to time even a quest is issued though one has not been issued for some time. For many Camp Half-Blood is a place that many have come to call their home due not being able to live in the mortal worlds due to their scent which attract monsters just like the one you encountered last night or they simply don't have anyone to go back to."
Damian took everything in and only had one thought, 'So my mom is a goddess. Dad, as soon as I come back to you, I'm going to attack you with every Devil Arm we have.'
"I know this is a big change and it will be a little strange at first but you will get use to it and you will adjust. Many here were just like you and given time they settled in and got use to it. I'm sure you shall too."
"So your saying the Greek gods really do exist and reside here in America and I am the son of one of them?" Damian asked.
"Pretty much." Grover answered.
"Well, I know it's one of the goddesses then because my mother was absent from my whole life." Damian said. "Plus my dad raised me. Any idea who my mother could be?"
"I'm afraid not." Chiron shook his head. "We won't know until your Olympian parent claims you. Which could honestly be at any given time. However I have to admit you are taking this rather well."
"I've dealt with stranger situations before." Damian shrugged. Battling demons would be strange at first, but he's gotten used to it through training and fighting them. "But I might as well tell you a bit about myself and my family on my dad's side. I happen to be a Devil Hunter."
This got surprised looks from Chiron and Grover while Mr. D stopped in his card game.
"A Devil Hunter?" Grover asked before frowning. "As in demons?"
Damian nodded. "Yeah. They exist. If Greek gods can exist, why can't demons? Don't know if there's a Heaven or Hell though, which might not be a good thing to mention around gods. Anyway, my family and I hunt demons, it's a family business."
"Well, this is a new one. Never had one that hunted Demons before." Mr. D said as his wine glass filled with wine and he reached for it. Damian blinked while Chiron looked casual.
"Mr. D, your restrictions." He warned.
Mr. D looked at his glass. "Oh." He looked at the sky. "Sorry!"
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Damian looked up before he looked at Mr. D and watched the wine turn to diet coke. "You're a god. Dionysus the god of wine."
Mr. D nodded, looking a little impressed with how quick he figured it out. "That is correct. Nice to see not all the demigods that first arrive here are idiots."
"Uh... thanks, I think. Grover, why are you carrying a shoebox?" Damian asked, now wanting to know that titbit.
"Oh yea, Damian, I think these are yours." Grover said, handing him the box.
Damian looked at Grover curiously before he turned his attention to the box. He lifted up the lid and found that his guns were in it.
"Dawn and Dusk!" Damian picked his two trusty guns up and kissed them. "Missed you."
"They appeared here on their own while you were asleep." Grover explained. "Don't know how though, smelled fire though. I kept them close as I knew you'd want them back."
"Thank you, Grover." Damian said gratefully. "Aside from my sword, I love these guns."
"Hmm, first one to start using guns." Mr. D said with amusement. "Ares' kids will be jealous."
"Ares? As in the god of war?" Damian asked, getting a nod from the god of wine. "Huh... now I feel like playing that upcoming God of War video game."
"Grover, why don't you take Damian on a tour of the camp? I'm sure he is eager to see what is around here," Chiron suggested.
"Sure" he said getting up and motioning Damian to follow.
"Good bye Chiron, trainer of heroes," Damian said as he left, leaving a smile on Chiron's face.
'He is a smart one,' Chiron thought before returning to the game.
"Well first the building we were just at is known as the big house. Basically that is the HQ of the camp and where you will most likely find Chiron or Mr. D." Grover said getting a nod from Damian. As Grover showed Damian around, the white-haired teen saw many kid around his age and a few that were older and younger running around all wearing their bright orange shirts. Some were running around with sword, bow or other assorted weapons in their hands. Others had maps or books while others carried around tools.
Many of the other campers glanced at him when he walked past mainly to see what the new camper was like. They had already heard about how he and Percy defeated the Minotaur during the night. While some were impressed, others were a little jealous that they got the opportunity and they didn't.
Grover then led them through the giant strawberry field. Damian took a long whiff at the area and he found himself sighing happily. The place smelled heavenly.
All around there were satyrs and other children who were tending to the strawberry fields. Grover explained that the demigod children of Demeter took up the task of keeping the strawberry field in good condition along with satyrs playing their magical songs to help them grow. Not only that but also the strawberries helped pay some funds towards the camp. It might have been a secret camp for demi gods but it still needed money from the mortal world.
Once they exited the strawberry field they went past an archery range that had a large group of children varying from ages wielding bows and arrows shooting at the targets. They seemed pretty good since most were hitting just around the center.
"Over there is the canoeing lake. We have canoe races from time to time." Grover said pointing towards a giant lake that had small dock located on the edge with a roe of canoes and smaller looking boats around it.
"And over there is the stables." He said pointing over to a large stable just over by the hill." That's where the horses and Pegasus's are." He said, noticing it had caught Damian's attention.
However, what had actually caught Damian's attention was the girl who was walking towards it. When Damian took a good look, he saw the girl had long raven black hair and was wearing a skirt similar to Annabeth and had an orange tank top on.
"That's the girl from last night." He said but just as he was about to head over Grover caught him and dragged him off.
"Come on Damian, much to see" he said getting a whine of displeasure from Damian before the Devil Hunter gave in. He looked over and the girl had disappeared into the stables.
They continued looking around the camp with Grover next showing the amphitheater and then a giant wooden arena. Grover explained that the arena was where they had practice fights and special games while the amphitheater was where they had big sing a long's and told stories.
"Ahh, here we are." Grover said as they exited the strawberry field and Damian found himself staring at an assortment of cabins that were all in a U shape. They were cabins of all shapes and sizes and all looked much different from one another.
Right in the center of the U shape was a stone lined fire pit. Sitting next to the pit was a girl who looked around eight years old. She had brown hair with a small bandana covering her hair and wore a brown dress that went down to her knees. She turned and looked at him with a pair of warm chocolate colored eyes before she gave him a warm smile. When she looked at him he saw her mouth a few words to him.
It looked like she said "I'll see you soon" before she got up and stood in the fire before she disappeared leaving a slightly shocked Damian staring at where she once sat. He was taken out of it when he heard Grover's voice.
"These are the cabins where you will stay. Each cabin represents one of the twelve Olympians and when you get claimed by your parent you will stay in their cabin. But for now you will stay in Cabin eleven, the Hermes cabin, since you have not been claimed yet. That's where everyone has not been claimed go." He said pointing over towards a cabin that looked the most like an actual cabin.
Damian stared at all the cabins. There was one that had tomato vines growing on the side of it with a grass made roof. Another was bright pink with pink frilly curtains showing through the windows. Then there was one that looked like it was made of solid gold. It hurt just to look at it due to the sun bouncing of it.
"Why are so many empty?" He asked pointing towards a select few that looked great but he could see they were bare and empty on the inside.
"Oh, well, Hera is the goddess of marriage so she doesn't have affairs with mortals. Therefore she has no demigod children. It's just there as an honorary thing. The Zeus cabin won't have any due to the big three, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades making a pact for no more demigod children due to some bad past events. The same with the Poseidon Cabin." Grover said pointing towards three cabins one, two and three.
Cabin one was a marble building looking like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The doors were made of bronze and had symbols of lightning bolts on the side.
Cabin two was similar to cabin one but had peacock like design on the walls and columns while Cabin three was a low building made that had walls made of some kind of grey looking rock material and had sea shells plastered all around it. On the front door there was a large symbol of a trident on it.
"How come Hades or Hestia don't have a cabin?" Damian asked.
"Well Hades is not really welcome up on Olympus so they didn't see a need for a cabin here. Hestia took an oath to remain a virgin like Artemis and Athena plus she is one of the friendly gods. She doesn't see the need for a cabin since she has no children. Though I'm surprised you asked that, many forget about Lady Hestia which is a shame. She truly is the most likable of the gods."
Damian nodded at Grover's words and looked at the assortment of cabins. However despite how amazing they looked it was the only other empty cabin that caught Damian's eye and to him looked like the most beautiful of the twelve cabins.
Damian slowly walked towards the cabin recognized as cabin eight. The cabin was silver in colour and had silver curtains showing through the windows. On the outside there was intricate vine like design as well as animals like stags and wolves decorated on them. On the front door there was a symbol of a bow and a crescent moon.
Damian got closer to the cabin. He reached his hand out and was about to touch the cabin before Grover's hand shot onto his wrist.
"I seriously would not do that if I were you. That's Lady Artemis's cabin. She hates all men and is one of the three virgin goddess's, so I would not touch or go near this cabin unless you have death wish. Lady Artemis has a habit of turning males into jackelopes." He explained.
"That sucks. So the cabin just sits here like the other empty cabins?" Damian asked, feeling a little disappointed that such a beautiful cabin would get know one to live in it.
"Actually when the hunters, Lady Artemis's group of all female warriors visits the camp they stay in her cabin. Since she has no kids it would only make sense that they stay in here. Though there not overly friendly with the campers here and they prefer to stay within their group. They rarely come here though. But when they do there usually ends up being some sort of fight or disagreement between them and the campers."
"Remind me not to get on their bad side." Damian said with Grover give a chuckle.
"Well that's about it man, that's the gist of the camp. I should get back to Chiron and then check in on Percy." Grover said.
Damian nodded. "Sure I think I might keep looking around if that's okay. You know get a lay of the land."
"Sure that's no problem. I'll see you later. Find me if you have any questions or anything." Grover said before he sprinted away back through the strawberry fields.
He spent the next couple of hours looking around the camp, making sure he knew where everything was. He went down to the beach only for a group of women with elfish feature to flirt with him. It made him feel pretty uncomfortable so he high tailed it out of there leaving the girls there a little disappointed.
As the sun began to set among the camp, he had walked up onto the hill and sat underneath the giant tree and watched as the sun began to set. The orange yellow colors from the sunset lit showed the camp in a beautiful light and reflected and glimmered of the ocean and rivers.
He heard a conch horn bellow out but he didn't think anything of it.
"Here you are, Damian." Damian whipped his head around to see Chiron galloping over now in his centaur form. He had to whistle in amazement. His horse half was white in color with a few scar that in various places on his horse half. No doubt from training past heroes and fighting in battles.
"I trust Grover gave you the tour?" He asked getting a nod of confirmation from the Devil Hunter. "That's good. Come, the horn that went off was to let people know dinner was ready. We are heading over to the dining pavilion. That's where Mr. D will introduce you to everyone. You and Percy have caused quite the stir and many are interested in meeting you.
"Yeah I bet." Damian muttered to himself as he and Chiron made their way down the hill...
And that's it for this chapter.
