On the way in to camp, I saw a blue energy moving around the entire camp. I followed it and found out that it was coming from the tree at the top of the hill that we were currently climbing.

Chiron must have saw me looking because he spoke up and said, "That is Thalia's tree. It creates the magical barrier around camp." He winced when he said 'Thalia', but he did not elaborate so I did not push on. We walked closer still to the top of the hill. Over the top of the hill I could make out a roof of a house. The house was two story with probably an attic. After we finally reach the top of the hill, I can see 12 buildings. They were smaller than the house, but still big enough to live in. "This," he gestured to the valley, "is camp half blood!" I took a look around the camp. I saw a creek, a climbing wall that had lava flowing down it, and a lot of other stuff. I could smell a faint scent of strawberries. "Come with me, it is almost dinner time." As if on cue, A loud horn sounded from the direction of a large open air pavilion. We started walking towards the mess hall, when I saw kids pouring out f the cabins. Just for fun, I observed one of them

Clarisse La'rue

Clarisse La'rue is a child of the war god, Ares. She doesn't like how her father has been absent since birth.

Dislikes- Her father, Percy Jackson, Dionysus

She is really a demigod! That is cool!

"Is everybody here a demigod?" I asked Chiron.

"All of the campers are demigods, yes, but some of the people you see are not."

"What are they?"

"Nyads, Dryads, and you see that man sitting in the mess hall?"

"Yeah."

"He is a god."

"Wow! That is cool! I have a question though. If the greek gods are real, does that mean the roman, egyptian, and all the other 'mythologies' are real?"

"I believe so, but it has yet to be proven."

When we finally reached the mess hall, it was super loud. I walked in, sat down next to Chiron, and everyone was immediately silenced. The god man was sitting next to me, he smelled like wine and grapes. Chiron spoke up, "Greetings campers! I have returned with a demigod! His name is Logan!" Everyone started cheering.

I heard one voice among the others, "Claimed or undetermined?" Everyone was quiet with anticipation

"At the moment, undetermined." I heard groaning. Chiron turned to me, "until you are claimed, you will stay in the hermes cabin." He turned back to the crowd "in other news, campfire is tomorrow. Now, have a nice meal!" I saw a ton of wind spirits rush out of the kitchen, delivering plates full of large meals. I was delivered a steak and egg sandwich with fries and a Mountain dew voltage. Somehow, the wind spirits have gotten my exact favorite meal right. I started to eat and it was the best meal I have ever had. When we finished, we were dismissed back to our cabins. I walked to the Hermes cabin. I looked up and saw the two snakes around the stick, a Caduceus, i think, was made of solid gold on the front of the building. I walked in and realized there was a lot of beds in the hermes cabin. I guess every unclaimed demigod gets stuffed in here. The other campers saw me and started clearing out a space on one of the bunks.

"Hey, my name is Connor and i am the head counselor of the hermes cabin. You can sleep here until you get claimed."

"Thanks!" I said with the fakest smile ever. I set up my bunk. I did not have that much stuff. Just the sword, My orange camp half-blood shirt that i received on arrival, and a large claw. I picked up the sword, and observed it.

Roufíchtra

A Sword that was once owned by Calypso. It was taken by the gods when she was exiled to Ogygia. This blade has seen tragedy beyond belief.

Attack:75

I stared at that for a second. Then i thought of something.

"Hey Connor."

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Isn't Hermes also the god of thieves?" he cursed under his breath.

"Yes he is."

"So I should put my stuff where you can't find it?"

"You should, but good luck with that. We know this cabin inside and out." i smiled.

"I think i'll manage." After i put my stuff in my inventory, i closed my eyes and immediately fell asleep. I didn't dream. That's normal for me. I haven't dreamt since i was 7. What surprised me was what happened when i woke up. I woke up with a balloon to the face.

You have slept in your bed.

Health and mana have been restored to 100%. You are well rested.

"What the hell man!" It was a water balloon, but surprisingly, i was dry as a bone. I looked up and saw Connor's face with the classic 'i just hit someone with a water balloon' face.

"Dude, chill out. It's just a joke!" his voice faltered when he saw that i was completely dry. "Dude, you are dry"

"Yeah, i know. Weird isn't it."

We heard the large horn marking the beginning of the meal. "Now get up, people! It's time for breakfast!" We started towards the mess hall. Breakfast was good. They served my my favorite, again. After i got over the initial shock of the wind spirits knowing my favorite breakfast, i immediately started to eat. After breakfast we were dismissed to classes. They were cool, but my most memorable class was sword fighting. We fought each other with our swords. I was put up against a kid named Percy. I remembered seeing his name on Clarisses Hate tab. Our swords were clashing together.

"I have a question. Why does Clarisse hate you?"

"A few reasons. I broke her spear, i made the toilets explode all over her, just stuff like that."

"Wow! Who is your godly parent?"

"I am a son of Poseidon. Who's yours?

"I don't know yet. I haven't been claimed yet. That is a really cool sword."

"Thanks. It's name is anaklusmos."

"Riptide, nice."

"That's a pretty decent blade you got there yourself."

"Thanks. It's name is Roufíchtra."

"Whirlpool. That is a cool name."

"Thanks." i saw an opening in his defence. I caught it and threw his sword right out of the arena. "Oops, sorry."

"No, it's fine. Good job. How are you so good?"

"I had a lot of free time during the summer." And left it at that. After that, none of the other classes were that interesting. All i could think about was what campfire was going to hold. Then, i heard another horn announcing the beginning of dinner. As i made my way back to the mess hall, i was stopped by john, who apparently made it to camp by himself.

"Hey, dude. How nice of you to tell me you were leaving for camp." he said very sarcastically.

"Sorry, i meant to tell you, honest"

"It's alright. So how you been?"

"Pretty good. I learned about the camp, but i still haven't gotten a full tour."

"Dang dude. I am sure you will get a tour tomorrow." When we reached the dining hall, Chiron was giving the announcements.

"At campfire, we will formally introduce our newest camper, Logan. We will also have other announcements like new quests and the sort. Now, let's eat!" The kitchen doors whooshed open again, and i was served my favourite dinner, again. I ate it, and dismissed myself to the amphitheatre. There, i saw rows and rows of benches surrounding a central fire. I sat down near the back and pulled out my sword. I uncapped it and it sprung into a full size 60 cm long sword. I examined the blade. It was curved, and etched with runes. I didn't recognize any of them. The handle was leatherbound, so it moulded perfectly to my hand. It had perfect balance, almost unnatural so. As i examined the blade closer, a saw that it had a faint bronze glow to it. Then all of a sudden, the fire lit all by itself. At that moment, people started to flood the amphitheatre. I quickly put my sword away. The amphitheatre slowly filled up with demigods. When it was completely full, I found the hermes cabin and sat with them. Chiron walked over near the fire.

"Hello campers. Now for roll call. Poseidon." i heard a large cheer from Percy, who was sitting by himself. "Demeter." i heard a large cheer from the side of the benches. "Athena." I heard a dull cheer come from the back of the stands. It continued like that for about 4 minutes.

"Now, without further adieu, if Logan could come down to the front." i got up, squeezed past my cabin mates, and made my way down the front. "Please introduce yourself to camp."

"My name is Logan Dare." After i said that, everyone inhaled sharply. I saw that they were not staring at me, but right above my head. I looked up, and a saw an ocean blue trident. "What's going on?"

"You, Logan Dare, Have just been claimed by your father."

"Who is it?"

"Your father is Poseidon, god of the sea, the earth shaker, father of horses. You are the only 2nd son of Poseidon since World War Two."
