Elizabeth couldn't believe her eyes as she looked down at the camp that down below her at the moment. There was amphitheater, stables, armory, a climbing wall with lava coming out a sword arena, and cabins. There was a forest and a strawberry field as well as a big blue four story farm house, Elizabeth looked at the blue house and started walking towards it. Elizabeth had walked up the steps and knocked a couple of times, after a couple of minutes of waiting that Elizabeth pushed the door and found it was open. Elizabeth pushed the door more open and went inside the house, Elizabeth walked further into the camp and looked around as she did so. As she turned around that she heard hooves and Elizabeth turned around and jump back in surprise. Standing there was a centaur, he had a white stallion lower body but he had the upper part of a human male. He has brown eyes and brown hair, as well as having a beard, he looked kindly at her and spoke.
"New camper, I take it."
"Yes." Elizabeth paused for a moment before going on. "I am Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Demeter." The centaur tilted his head when Elizabeth had said daughter of Demeter.
"So you have been claimed already."
"Yes . . . Isn't all the demigods claimed?"
"Not all of them, no. When a new camper come, usually they don't know who their godly parent is. I have to say that they are a little more surprised than you are."
"That is because my mother has brought me here and told me that the Greek myths were true." The centaur looked thoughtful when Elizabeth had said that, Elizabeth didn't move from where she was or say anything. Elizabeth had never meet a centaur, she only heard of home from the Greek stories and she had no idea of she should act around a centaur.
"I have to say that it is unusually for one of the gods to being them here themselves. I wonder why that was."
"I believe it is because my only mortal family member is going off to fight in the war. There might be another reason."
"What reason is that." Elizabeth took the hair clip out from her hair and raised so the centaur the hair clip, it was clear that the centaur knows what it was. He had spoke.
"Did you mother gave you this?"
"She did, she told me of she sees what happens comes than it will help me." Elizabeth had put the hair clip back in her hair before she went on. "She did told me to tell Chiron of who I was and who my mother was." The centaur had chuckle when Elizabeth had said that and Elizabeth had raised her eyebrow when the centaur had chuckle. She wondered what he found amusing of what she just said but when he had spoke that she understand of why he goins it amusing.
"You already did so, Elizabeth. For I am Chiron. Come on, let me show you around camp." Elizabeth smiled and followed Chiron around camp and he told her more about the gods that she didn't know from the stories or corrected some of the stories that were inaccurate. The last place that he took her was the cabins, in the middle of the cabins was a fire pit and Elizabeth had notice an eight year old girl was by the fire. The eight year old girl had looked away from the fire and smiled at Elizabeth, Elizabeth looked at her with an eyebrow raised. Elizabeth had than notice Chiron was going over to one of the cabins that was up close to the biggest cabins. Two of them were made out of marble and one looked like the bottom of the ocean with shells, corals and grey stone. One of the marble cabins looked empty but there a bunch of campers in front of one of the marble cabin and the cabin that looks like the bottom of the ocean.
It was clear that one of the male campers had notice Chiron and Elizabeth for the oldest looking male camper had walked over to Chiron and Elizabeth. He looks about nineteen years old, he has black hair and blue eyes not only that but he was built like an athlete. It was either an athlete or he had a lot of training under his belt for giving him the built that he has. However he reminded Elizabeth of the bullies that he uncle had fight against and stood up to. When he had reached them that he looked up and down here in one glance before he looked at Chiron. Elizabeth didn't like that look that the camper had gave her when he had looked at her, she was started to like this camp before he said or did anything. When he spoke, he had spoke like that he was the leader of the camp and had totally control over the camp.
"Hi Chiron, who is this?"
"Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Demeter. Elizabeth meet Bellerophon Prince, son of Zeus." Elizabeth didn't say anything when Bellerophon had looked at her.
"I will show her to her cabin." Chiron had nodded and left Elizabeth standing there with Bellerophon, she didn't like the fact she was by herself with Bellerophon. "I assume you just arrived."
"I did, can you show which cabin is the one I am in?" Bellerophon had smiled in a playboy way, Elizabeth had stop herself from rolling her eyes when he smiled at her like that. Bellerophon had walked over to a cabin and Elizabeth followed him, the cabin was a light brown, but it has grass growing on the roof. There were tomatoes vines growing all over the cabin, on the porch was wild flowers and roses. There some campers just outside of that cabin as they walked to the cabin, the oldest in front had notice them and walked over to them. It was a female with black hair and brown eyes, Elizabeth had looked at the others and all of them had either black or brown hair and from the looks of it they all have brown eyes. The female had looked at Elizabeth before looking at Bellerophon and spoke.
"Hi Bellerophon. May I ask of who this is?"
"New camper, Jasmine. This is Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Demeter." Jasmine had looked over at Elizabeth, than she had walked around Elizabeth once.
"You don't look like a daughter of Demeter, I would say you are a daughter of arena but you have blue eyes and not grey eyes. Are you sure that you are a daughter of Demeter?"
"I am sure, for it was Demeter that had come to get me to being me here and she told me everything about this world. She even told me that I don't look like the normal daughter of Demeter for I look more like my father." Jasmine had nodded and Bellerophon had smiled and walked away, Jasmine had looked after Bellerophon. Elizabeth walked to her side and looked at her and than at Bellerophon and back again, it was clear that Jasmine had a crush on Bellerophon. "Do you like Bellerophon?" Jasmine had looked at Elizabeth when she had asked her that.
"Of course, every girl in camp has a crush on him."
"Every girl?" Jasmine had went talking of the things that Bellerophon had done, some of it didn't surprise Elizabeth that Bellerophon could do it. But Elizabeth was not impressed, mainly because of how Bellerophon acted around everyone and the way he was looking at her earlier. Than Jasmine had said something that pulled Elizabeth out of her thoughts.
"But it seems that he likes you." Elizabeth snorted.
"Than it's one sided." Elizabeth looked at Jasmine of who looked shocked and confused at those words.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, I don't like him." Jasmine almost looked offended when Elizabeth had said that.
"After telling you of what he did that you didn't think he could so anything."
"I am not saying he couldn't do any of what you SIDS he did. It's just that he is annoying and had an ego of the size of the world. That he thinks he got anything by being charming." The next few days that the news of Emily not liking Bellerophon seem to travel around camp that Elizabeth didn't like Bellerophon, he tried to hit on her during that time. He kept trying to charm her but Elizabeth started to dislike him less and started to hate him. Her hatred of Bellerophon was the size of his ego. Elizabeth started to dislike him even less during that time, at last that the president, a son of Poseidon, had ask for some of the older demigods to join in the fighting. Thankfully Bellerophon was one of the ones that had left, making all the girls, but his half sisters and Elizabeth, unhappy. After her sword lesson that Elizabeth had stay behind to practice more with her sword, during the time she had been at camp that she find she was with this sword and her fight grip perfectly and the balance was perfect.
Just as Elizabeth made a slash across the chest of a dummy that she heard someone clearing their throat. Elizabeth had turned around and saw two campers standing there, one of them was her age of which was a girl no more than thirteen years old. She was a few inches taller than Elizabeth was though, about 5'7" or 5'8". The taller girl has long black hair that reached halfway down her back, electric blue eyes, and she had an athletic build. The boy next to the taller girl has short black hair, the same eyes as the girl and also has an athletic build. He looked fifteen and he was a few inches taller than the taller girl was but not by much though. The boy had stepped forward towards Elizabeth, Elizabeth didn't move or put her sword away. For she wanted to go on practicing with her sword, Elizabeth would admit that it was a bit odd for a daughter of Demeter to be good at swordplay. But she was still good at the other skills that a daughter of Demeter has like growing things and cooking. Of course many campers had found it odd but it seemed like this two didn't seem to find it as odd that she was good at sword play. Than the boy had spoke.
"Elizabeth Rogers?" Elizabeth tilted her head, it was clear her heard of her name but he wasn't sure if she was Elizabeth. For not very many people in the camp knows of what she looks like.
"Yes, is there something you want?"
"I am James Thomas, son of Zeus and this is my younger half sister, Lauren Huntington. We just had come to sorry of what our half brother, Bellerophon, had been trying doing to you for the last week. He is a big pain in the neck."
"Don't worry, the fault is not yours but his fault. Apology accepted though. I never really spoke to anyone else in your cabin that it seems like the rest of the children of Zeus seem nice enough."
"Thanks, I hope we will meet again." Lauren and James smiled and left the arena while Elizabeth had went back to what she was doing before Lauren and James had come.
For the next year, Elizabeth stayed in camp and life was good in the camp for her, she made friends and gain siblings that she never knew she had. But her best friends, at camp, were James and Lauren and she did almost everything with them when she was not cooking, helping growing the strawberries or giving Pegasus lessons. Life had improved for Elizabeth since Bellerophon had left camp, as a matter of fact, life in camp had improved greatly. It seemed the girls that had crushes on Bellerophon realize of how annoying he really was, all expect for Jasmine it seems. After a year had pass that a demigod that was part of the SSR had ask for three demigods to join the SSR so that they could be sent out to do certain missions. As it happens, Elizabeth, James, and Lauren were the ones that were picked for the job, Elizabeth had to admit that she was glad Bellerophon was gone or otherwise he might be on the team. After Elizabeth had packed her things that she went to the hill to be taken to the camp in Italy.
