After I blacked out I kept coming to and blacking out again. I saw Grover leaning over me looking worried, he kept shaking me to wake me up and saying stuff I couldn't make out, but I could have sworn I heard him bleat like a goat, I would have laught if it were different circumstances.
"He's the one isn't he, he's a son of..." is all I heard from a blonde girl with stormy grey eyes before blacking out again.
The next time I gained consions I was still being carried but this time I didn't see Grover so I panicked. I pushed the two guys holding me who looked like they were twins, they both had blues eyes that looked mischieve like they were planning how to rob me or their next prank. They also had brown messy hair similiar to mine, except mine was raven black and a little longer. I rolled away from them and turned around getting ready to fight, and then I felt a weight in my pocket, some how I new exsactly what it was, so I put my hand in my pocket and pulled out my pen I clicked the end of the pen turning it into my usual three foot long bronzer sword. I swunge it a couple of times so they would back up, and then I heard the last person I was expecting.
"Lower your weapons it's fine." said galloping up to me.
And I mean actually galloping, his lower half was a brown stallion while the waste up was his usual self. I was so focused on I didn't even notice the dozen or two people behind me lowering their weapons. And then I relised the pain in my lower back now climbing up my spine. And then I blacked out again.
The next time I woke up it was morning, I was in a small bed in some sort of white tent, I looked around and saw matching beds most where empty but a few were closed off by sheets. next to my bed was Grover wearing a leather vest and no pants, and I saw his goat legs and his feet were hoves, I think I would have been in shock or laughed if it wasn't for the day I just had. I just glanced at his legs and looked back up to his face with an expretionless face while he smiled down at me.
"How you feeling Perce, can you sit up?" Grover asked as he tried to help me sit up."Here drink this." He said handing me a goblet with a golden liquid in it a. I took a sip and it tasted like my moms blue cookies she used to make, I could feel the warmth of it and the feeling of melting chocolate on my tonuge."Whoa, don't drink to much you'll die." Grover said grabbing the goblet. He then explained how if demi-gods drink or eat the food of the gods they will get heald but if they eat to much they'll die, and if a mortal eats it they die immeditly. I didn't realy listen I was to ocupide thinking about the taste of my mothers cookies, the warmth of her smile, the way she always cheered me up and how we took trips to the beach. The entire time Grover was explaining the food I was staring at the floor with and expressionless look."Hey, you good Percy?"
"Yea, guess I'm still a little tired." I said trying to straighten myself more."So what now?"
"Well I guess you should look around the camp, meet the people, and find your new cabin and settle in."
"How do I know what cabin is mine?"
"You live in your godly parents cabin, and there are multiple was to finding out your godly parent, the most common being when you get here within a few weeks they are usualy claimed by their parents, which is just usualy their symbol of power above their head, some are told by their parents or some other immortal being, and some just know because of the power they inheirit."
"What do you mean inheirited powers?" I asked getting a little intrested.
"Well if you a child of a minor god it won't be anything major just some increased abilities, but if your the child of one of the Olympians it's more major, you'll be have powers like your parents, like how the children of Demeter can control crops and plants, or how the children of Apollo can heal people or use a bow realy well, most are usualy musicly talented, and very rarely one can even see into the future."
"So I'll either be claimed in a week or two, or never be claimed, what happens if I don't get claimed?"
"Well if their not claimed they stay in the Hermes cabin since he is the god of travilers... but about your godly parent... you were kind of all ready claimed the first day you got here, you remeber all the light and shaking?"
I started to think, I did remeber all that light and the shaking before I passed out, but I didn't know thats what happend when some one was claimed."So does the ground always shake when some one is claimed, or does it depend on the godly parents?" I asked wondering who my dad was.
Grover got a little pale and started to shake and studder a little,"Well, you actully cause the shaking, the light was your fathers symbol when it apeared."
"What do you mean symbol?"
"Well when a demi-god is claimed his or her parents symble of power apears above their head, like wheat with green light for Demeters children or a mini sun for Apollos children." Grover explained.
"So who claimed me?"
Grover was now sweeting and shaking like there was a horde of monsters in front of him,"Whats wrong did I say someting, whose my godly parent?"
"Well he's uumm, well he's, uh, PPppPPP..." he just went silent.
Ok for some reason he was to scared to tell me who my godly parent was, so I guess I had to figure it out myself. So I thought, so it was a male greek god, his symbol was sea green, he was strong enough to scare Grover, and had the ability to shake the earth. I got it."My father, he's Posiedon, god of the sea and earthquakes."
At the name of my dad Grover flinched,"Shhh keep your voice down." Grover then explained how if you said the name of a powerful being, weither it was a monster, Titan, or a god, it would give them our location and be able to listen in on our conversation. I know all this should have freaked me out, finding out all the greek mythology was real all the gods and monster, and me, I was the son of a god, a GOD, and immortale being, with the power too make the earth itself shake just by getting in a bad mood. But, I honestly didn't care, I was happy to find out my father was one of the most powerful out of all the Olympian gods, and I would inheiret his powers, don't get me wrong, I wasn't some power hungry demi-god, but I wanted this ! I need this power, I need to protect my to be honest I was a little happy knowing I still had family, espessaly since they couldn't die.
"So, no big what do we do." I said nonchalantly.
He then suggested that I start checking the camp and my cabin out, he also said there would be a meeting for all the leaders of the cabins and since your the only child of Posiedon your automaticly the leader. So I left to go check out my cabin, when I got to the cabin area I saw twelve cabins in a U formation each one different, the apperance matching the repressented gods domains, power, and symboles. And then I walked up to my dads cabin. It was the third one, I looked at all the cabin, all were completly filled, excepted for the last three. My dads cabin was amazing, it had ocean coral all over it, it smelled like the ocean. The doors were wooden, and had a tridion on it. I walked in and it looked like a pretty normal cabin wooden, with nothing but dressers and bunk beds. I walked over to the dressers and placed the horn I got from defeating the Minataur, and took a quick shower and changed my clothes. After that I took a walk around the camp everyone kept staring at me. I meet a lot of people most of the leaders of the cabins came over and talked to me and I made friends with all of was the blod girl I first saw when I got here Annebeth, a daughter of the Athena cabin, Lee Fletcher the son of Apollo, Charlie the son of Hepestaus, Silena the daughter of Aphrodites, who I think was flurting with me but I could care less, since from the moment I woke up I barley showed an emotion, then there was Katie, she was quite and around my age and she was the daughter of Demeter, so I kind of get why she was like that she was the daughter of the goddess of agriculture. The next person I met was Luke, he was the oldest camper here, around the age of a college student, he was the son of Hermes he had dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, a mischievous smile, and a scar on his eye, I thought he was pretty cool and nice, but I didn't really care. The next people I ran into was the Stoll brothers, they were also sons of hermes, they were twins, about fifteen or sixteen had brown hair and the same mischivous eyes and smile. They were both hunched over looking around a corner laughting.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked
They looked around still laughting and motioned me over to them. I looked around the corner and saw a slim and toned girl around my age, she had hair that look either a light black or a dark brown, she was a little shorter then me and was opening a packege that she found in front of teh cabin she came out of, which if I had to guess looked like Ares's cabin, the god of war. As soon as she opened the box a gaint white cloud came flying out covering her, she looked like she was turnig red, but I couldn't stop myself from laughting along with the Stoll brothers on the floor. This was the first time today I actually showed emotion. I didn't even see ot hear the angry girl now standing above me, she was fumming, but we just kept laughing. As soon as we stood up and started to settle down the Stoll brothers laugh of happiness changed into a nervous laugh.
"Uhh, it was just a joke Clarissa come on." they said at the same time which I thought was kind of funny.
"Yea, well this is just a joke then!" Clarissa said throught clentched teeth taking a swing at the two brothers who both ducked and ran away. She then turned her attention toward me, I had now calmed down and had a smile grin on my face.
"YOU!" she said glaring at me."Who are you?" she said still glaring at me.
"I'm the new guy." I said my face now changing back into it's original expressionless face, now remebering how I arrived here.
"You're the boy who everyone says killed the Minataur, you don't look like much, I heard you got some mortal killed!" her anger now changing into a cocky smile as she called out my failure.
At the mention of my now dead mother my anger quickly shoot up."WHAT DID YOU SAY!" I said gaining the attention of most of the campers around me, who were all now staring at the two of us, but I didn't care, I was staring daggers into her daring her to repeat herself.
She gave a big cocky grin, pleased with herself for finding out how to get under my skin so easily,"You heard .Got. .KILLED!"
The air turned into a fimiliar cold, dark, and ominess feel, as my glare changed into one of pure hate,rage, and discuse, and with that I saw fear in her eyes, and then once again the ground started shaking, more cracks apearing at my feat more trees falling, but this time tents were falling down and a couple buildings, I didn't know what they were for, started getting cracks all over them and one even imploded on itself. Clarissa now had a expression of pure fear.
"I DID MY BEST TO PROTECT MY MOTHER!" at those words her expression seemed to change from fear to pitty and rigret before quickly changing back.
"PERCY!" some one from behind me screamed.
It was grover,trying to make his way over to me but falling due to the ground shaking, and behind him was , but he wasn't in his wheel chair, he was standing, not obly standing but from the was down he had the body of a light brown stallion, he galloped up looking worried and when he finally got up to me my anger was gone now I just had relif and sadness wash over me, I had always seen as a father figure, he was kind and understanding, and he had tooken me under his wing the first day we met. I immeditly lunged at him, some of the other campers leand foward to stop me thinking I was attacking him, but I just hugged him and started crying into his lower chest not caring who was there to see, just happy that the person I looked at as a father was here along with my best friend. After a while he placed a hand on my shoulder making me look up at his face, he looked sorry both for me and just plan sorry. And then he said in a quite and sothing tone.
"How are you my boy?" he said getting to a more eye level position.
All I did was bury my head in his neck and countinue crying. After a while I stopped and he lead me to a room in a large house, when we were there all I saw was to ping-pong tables next to eachother, he lead me over to a set that looked similar to my cabin dsyne and sat me down and kneld beside me.
"It is alright my boy you are safe." his voice was so calming and reasuring.
I started to cry again and after a while we just sat there in silince before talking for a while. We talked about a bunch of stuff, about my mom,about school, about what was going on, how I was feeling, how I was going to be all right and I was safe, and after a while I fell asleep. I just slept their before being woken up by grover, he explained how we were in the meeting room and how we were going to have a meeting with all the cabin leaders, he said how they would explain everything during the meeting, he then gave me plate of food and left saying I slept through dinner, I ate everything on the plate, I didn't notice how hungry I was until that second after I was done people started coming in first came , who Grover told me was Chiron, the trainer of some of the best heros in history, which now that I knew this it made sence why he would smile or laught at the myths he told us during class about the heros and demi-gods. Soon everyone was there I had meet that day excepted for the Stoll brothers, every leader from each cabin, as they walked in they tried not to look at me and a couple flinched when they did, especaly since I was back to my emotionless expression staring off into space just zoned off and still a little tired. When the meeting started they talk about stuf I thought they would usually talk about, like needing more bed in their cabins, after they were done with the usual stuff they explained to me what this place was, what they did , how they did it, and basicly just went into grater detail then I cared to listen about the camp. After they were done explaing what the camp was and what they did here, me and grover had to talk about our journey here, and throught the story everyones face changed from, sadness, envy, awa, and fear. After that was over every one went back to their cabins to go back to bed. And when I got to my cabin the full impact of my sleepyness and sore body came at me all at once, I laid down in bed which was super soft and warm, add with the sea breeze and salt water smell that seemed to calm me put me to sleep and put an end to this horrible day.
