Disclaimer: Rick wouldn't write fanfic about his own characters.
It was night 6 of the Modern Heroes series, and it was already turning out to be quite interesting, even before the story started.
Firstly, the Apollo kids were having a rough day of it. The skies were full of clouds all day, which meant no sunlight (and for the Apollo campers, that meant they couldn't look up, wave to the sun, and yell, "Hi, Dad!" whenever they felt like it.)
Then there was that joint hydra-and-sea-monster attack. Which sent plenty of people to the infirmary, since no one could make fire like Leo Valdez of Hephaestus or get sea creatures to get a move on like Percy Jackson of Poseidon. It took the Poseidon (and other water-based cabins) all together to get the sea monster leave, and that was after the Aphrodite kids charmspoke it. There were so many in the infirmary that the remaining Hephaestus kids ended up putting together a sort of livestream television so the injured campers could listen to the Campfire Tales (as well as the Apollo kids who had to stick around).
And then someone (*cough cough Hermes cabin cough cough*) may or may not have painted the Apollo cabin dark brown as a prank.
Spirits weren't too high that night for the Apollo kids, and you could tell it by the fire behind them as they led the singalong, and how they were trying to act enthusiastic when they really weren't.
Chiron, however, pretended not to notice and instead gave the bag to the current head counselor of Ares to pick out the name of the hero of the night's tale. The camper picked out the name Will Solace.
"Will Solace, a son of Apollo, a head counselor, and one of the best healers Camp Half-Blood has seen in the last, oh, 100 years or so." Chiron began. The Apollo cabin perked up slightly.
"Will took over the role of headcounselor halfway through the Battle of Manhattan, after the sudden death of the then-current head counselor. He wasn't the best at archery-in fact he almost rivaled Percy Jackson in lack of skill-but he was an exceptional healer, and one of the ones who kept everyon's spirits up during the year afterwards, which as you may remember led up to the Giant War."
The Apollo group was starting to lean forward in their seats. In the infirmary, those still there had forgotten whatever they were doing. One was holding onto a cup of nectar for a camper but had completely forgotten he was giving it to the patient (not that either one noticed).
Chiron kept on going. "Will later faught in the final battle against Gaea, which originally was against the Romans, until the Athena Parthenos was braught back. Will was one of the ones to convince Octavian, a legacy of Apollo that was the Augur of Camp Jupiter and determined to destroy the Greeks and unintentionally help Gaea's plans, to accidently eject himself into the goddess."
"What?" A Poseidon camper asked, confused.
"I don't get it..." another frowned.
"Kelp brains." the Athena kids muttered.
"Hey!" The Poseidn cabin yelled.
"Cabins 3 and 6, save your arguments for later!" the head of the Aphrodite cabin yelled, charmspeaking as he did so. The cabins shut up.
"Thank you for that, Sebastian." Chiron acknowledged. "Now, Will was, of course, present here at Camp when Apollo was made human as punishment by Zeus and the emporer Nero was wrecking havoc all over. He was also around when the Curses were flying around. But his greatest deed, which perhaps was most important of all, was his work in figuring out how to keep the only Son of Hades at that time from melting into shadows when shadow-traveling after the War, which we shall discuss more of at a later date." Chiron finished, before dismissing everyone.
The Apollo kids were much more perked up after that, since they could now join the small grou pof people whose precessors were considered by Chiron to be modern heroes.
So just so you know, the Curses is a little thing I'm working on as a fanfic. Now you know what my next "big project" will be. If I ever get around to doing it that is. Anyways, reviews and thanks!
