Emmet
Ever have that moment when you have something to remember but you just can't? That is me every day if my life. I feel like I have something to know because I feel it. I know it's there but I can't reach it. Anyways I need to get to work. I have "friends", but realistically they don't know I exist. They once introduced a new camper and gave him my bunk and they had to empty my footlocker because they thought I was a camper that died on a quest. I never got my bunk back and slept on the floor the rest of my time. Go ahead, laugh at my pathetic little life. That's not even half of it. I am scared of almost anything and everything and only get to sleep from passing out from all the germs that could be on the floor. I got a used foot locker from the big house and I keep my stuff in it. One if my only only non fear is the forges and fire. I like fire.
I'm making stuff in the forges. After a few weeks of tinkering I made my only invention. An armor dispenser. After a couple more weeks I modified it to be 20 pounds with no armor and conserves space more than the current version of the armor racks. I lugged it upstairs and showed people.
"Hey guys check this out!" I said. I tapped the shoulders of my cabin mates. They looked at me and kept walking. See this is my problem. I kicked the machine over. I scrapped it. I put my head in my hands. As for my life before. Well, I can't remember much. From what I was told I got mental trauma giving me partial amnesia. I have to change my clothes I've been wearing this hoodie for a couple days. I change into a camp shirt and put my sword on my hip. I don't like to use it but I'm required to have a weapon. It's just a standard sword. No name nothing special. In the distance I hear Chiron stamp his foot in the amphitheater. Can't wait to see what this is about. I walk over and see my armor dispenser. No way. I see my only acquaintance Sophia over on the other side. She waves to me. I have a crush on her and I made her a charm bracelet that turns into a bow and magic arrows. Chiron started his announcement.
"I have news. The Oracle of Delphi has issued a prophecy. For reasons unknown to us at this time she has told us not to share it so you cannot hear it. But first I must ask. Who made this machine?" He points to the armor dispenser. Chatter goes amongst the Hephaestus kids. I slowly raise my hand. More chatter goes through. I hear "new kid" a lot. Chiron waves for me to come down. I walk through. He looks at me and whispers. "You are extraordinary. You have done something we have tried to do for years. You made Dionysus happy." His voice got louder. "Emmet will be the first chosen for the quest to stop Nyx!"
There was scattered applause. I was going to stop it but I hate speaking in front of large crowds.
"This crew will need strength. Intellect. Loyalty. Optimism. Darren Hendricks! Sophia Maddix! Nicholas Wiggins! Gray Vong! Archibald Leonhardt!" They all came down. Chiron smacked a cigarette out of one of their mouths. "I present to you! The crew if the new generation!" He sent us on our way.
