Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or any of the characters they all belong Rick Riordan. I am just a amateur fanfiction writer trying to live out her ideas.
All around Camp Half-Blood was the sounds of demigods running around, sparring on another, or just plain yelling at each other. On the porch of the Big House was the centaur Chiron, the trainer of heroes and one of the teachers at the camp. Chiron was watching the campers when a voice called out, "Chiron!"
The centaur looked outward and saw young boy running in his direction.
The young boy had Caucasian skin, thick curly dark brown hair, amber eyes, he also had goat legs where his legs should be, and he was wearing a orange CAMP HALF-BLOOD t-shirt and a Rasta hat.
"Grover?" Chiron questioned. "What are you doing back here so soon? Did something go wrong with your assignment?"
Grover stopped in front of the Big House and shook his head, "No, my assignment was a success!" he exclaimed, cheerfully. "Her parents just decided it was time for her to come to camp. They sort of told her the truth and we headed here."
Chiron nodded, proud of the young satyr. Even sense a certain incident involving the daughter of Zeus dying and turning into a pine tree, Grover had been racked with guilt and became closed off. So to hear that Grover succeeded in his next assignment made Chiron very proud.
Chiron then caught something odd in Grover's answer, "What do you mean her parents sort of told her the truth?"
"Well, her parents told her about the gods and that she's a half-blood but her dad said he couldn't tell her who her mom is." the satyr answer.
Chiron breathe a sigh of relief. 'So it's the girl's mother that's a goddess.'
"Chiron, listen." Grover said seriously. "While she's not a child of the Big Three, her scent is strong. I think that maybe, just maybe! A powerful deity declared her their champion."
Chiron thought on that. Maybe one of the Big Three made her their champion or maybe Artemis but any other deity he could think of that could be more powerful the gods would be an ti- wait! Let's not go down that road.
"That's an very interesting theory, Grover and will be discussed further later." Chiron walked off the porch. "I do believe that I have a new camper to welcome. Where is she?"
"Oh, she in the infirmary. We ran into some trouble a few feet from the border, nothing big just a couple stray hellhounds. Anthony, who was at the border, came out and distracted them for us but she managed to calm them down. Turns out they were trying to find a way back to the Underworld." Grover answered as they walked to the infirmary.
Chiron listened to this information impressed. No one has ever been able to calm hellhounds except for Persephone, goddess of spring and the Queen of the Underworld.
When they reached the infirmary, a young boy around the age of 9 walked out. He had golden tan skin, shaggy golden blonde hair, blue eyes, and he was wearing a orange CAMP HALF-BLOOD t-shirt, a green plaid over shirt unbuttoned, light blue jeans, sneakers, and was holding a first aid kit.
"Hey, Will!" Grover called out. "How's the newest patient?"
"She's fine and awake. Tony's in there talking to her. Go on in." Will said, walking away.
As Will walked away, the two entered the infirmary. Grover looked around for a second before point towards the back. "There she is."
They looked towards the back and saw two figures, a boy and a girl, they both looked around 10. The boy was sitting in a chair and twirling a dagger in his hands. He had a typical California tan, blonde surfer curled hair, gray eyes, and he was wearing a orange CAMP HALF-BLOOD t-shirt, washed out jeans, sneakers, and a necklace with 3 clay beads on it.
The girl was sitting on a medical bed and holding a box of apple juice, twisting the straw. She had tan skin, silky black hair that came down a few inches past her shoulders, her eyes seemed be a kaleidoscope shifting between shades of blue and green, and she was wearing a sky blue shirt, a white cardigan, blue jean shorts, fashionable black ankle boots, and a necklace with a sparkling white dove charm.
The two were quietly chatting and chuckling.
"Hey, Tony!" Grover called out, running up to them with Chiron following him at a slower pace.
The satyr gave Anthony a fist bump and gave the girl a bear hug, "How are you doing, Birdie?" he asked concerned.
They pulled back from the hug and the girl waved a hand, "I'm alright, Chèvre. It was just a headache and a couple bruises." She held up the juice box. "This nectar stuff really works."
The kids chuckled. Chiron cleared his throat causing the three to look at him. The girl's eyes went wide, "Woah! You're a centaur!" she blurted out.
Realizing what she said, she stutter out an apology when Chiron let out a hearty laugh.
"Its quite alright, young miss. You are not the first and won't be the last to have that reaction to my true form." Chiron said. "I do believe that introductions are in order. I am Chiron, trainer of heroes and one of the teachers here. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, where we train half-bloods, such as yourself, to become heroes. So what might your name be, young demigoddess?"
"My name is Persephone Jackson-Blofis but you can call me Percie." Percie answered, her eyes full of excitement.
~Time Skip~
(Night Time)
Percie was sitting by the campfire with the rest of the campers. The whole day consisted of her getting a tour of the camp by Grover and Anthony. She met a lot of new people like Katie from the Demeter Cabin, Luke from the Hermes Cabin, Beckendorf from the Hephaestsus Cabin, and Silena from the Aphrodite Cabin. Out of all the people she met, Percie could say she made a lot of new friends and it was only her first day! Talk about luck.
Anyway, Percie was roasting a marshmallow while listening to Grover rant about how even though he successful and safely lead Percie to camp, the Council of Cloven Elders still refused to give a searcher's license.
The black-haired girl gave her satyr friend a comforting pat on the back as he seemed to break down into tears explaining that he wanted a searcher's license so he could search for Pan, god of the wild.
The other campers were also roasting marshmallows but were talking about a Capture the Flag game coming up in a few days. They way they talked about it made it sound awesome and exciting to Percie but also very dangerous. Anthony had made his way into the campfire and sat down next to her, "So enjoying camp so far?" he asked.
Percie handed him a stick with a marshmallow on the end, "Yeah, its so awesome here!"
"I'm surprised that you excepted this so easily." the son of Athena said, a bit shocked. "Most half-bloods go through denial for at least a week. Then again who wouldn't after you're told that your seemly dead parent is actually a Greek god or goddess."
"Well, I've always been a Greek mythology geek since birth and with all of the stories I was told or I read, its not really hard for me to believe that the Greek gods are real." she answered.
Percie pulled her marshmallow away from the hearth and blew on it softly. She then gained a thoughtful look on her face, her kaleidoscope eyes shifted to a darker blue making her seem sad.
Percie sighed, "Besides, my dad never told me my mom was dead. He just said that she couldn't raise me herself no matter how much she wanted to. They loved each other, that much I know, and apparently it hurt her as much as it hurt him for her to leave us. Dad says that she watched over us and actually guided him to my stepmom, Sally, because she didn't want him to be heartbroken anymore and she wanted me to have a mother figure. So yeah, my mom may have left my dad and I but she at least cared enough about us to give us a chance at happiness even if it wasn't with her and for that she earned my respect."
By the end of her speech, Anthony and Grover, who stopped crying, looked at her with shock and amazement.
"What?" Percie questioned.
Grover tried to respond but all that came out was stutters. Anthony jumped in, "Its just nobody says anything like that, most half-bloods resent and blame their godly parents but you… you don't. You embrace your mom, whoever she is, and that speech of yours was very mature and wise. Worthy of a child of Athena."
"Oh don't get me wrong, I am very mad about my mom leaving my dad and I. Dad got married to Sally when I was 3 and even at that young I knew what heartbreak was and when I say my dad was heartbroken he was heartbroken. Sure, my mom guided my dad to Sally but I'll never forgive her for breaking his heart in the first place." she replied, crossing her arms in defiance.
Grover chuckled, "That's Birdie for you. Sugary sweet with a little sour punch."
Percie blushed a little as her two friends laughed. She pushed Grover, who was leaning on her, onto the ground and elbowed Anthony in the side but they kept laughing.
The black-haired girl rolled her eyes, "If you two are the laughing at me, can one of you explain this Capture the Flag game to me. I have a feeling its played differently here."
"Its similar to the mortals version of Capture the Flag but we use weapons, you know swords, knives, etc." the blonde boy answered.
Percie blinked.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Ok… what about the teams?" she asked.
"Its usually two leading cabins with cabins they've made alliances with. This time around its Apollo vs. Ares." Anthony said 'Ares' so bitter like the word itself was sour and scowled.
"Don't worry about Mr. Grumpy over there, Birdie." Grover started, getting off the ground. "Tony's just upset because Ares' Cabin always wins."
"Oh. So, did your cabin make an alliance with Apollo's cabin." Percie asked.
Anthony shook his head, "No, we made an alliance with Ares' cabin."
"But I thought you wanted to beat Ares' cabin."
"I do and if any of my siblings or I grab Apollo's flag it'll turn into a flag with Athena's symbol and next time-" he was cut off by Percie.
"It'll be Athena vs. Ares. Wow, that's clever and sneaky." Percie finished.
"My mother isn't the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy for nothing." he stated proudly.
All of a sudden shouts of anger and fright filled the air. Everyone looked in direction of the shouts and saw two identical boys running towards everyone. They both had fair skin, curly brown hair, blue eyes full of fear, was wearing the same orange CAMP HALF-BLOOD t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. They were Travis and Connor Stoll, sons of Hermes and resident camp pranksters.
"Help us!" they both screamed in unison.
"What's going on?" Luke asked his younger brothers.
Katie rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Yeah, who did you guys pranked this time?"
"It's her!" -Both.
"She's coming!" -Travis.
"Hide us?" -Connor.
"Hurry, she's gonna-" -Travis.
"-kill us!" -Connor.
"HELP!" -Both.
"Come back here and die like men, ya punks!" an angry female voice shouted.
Travis and Connor screamed and hid behind Luke.
A girl around 13 stomped over to the campfire. She had lightly tanned skin, dark brown eyes full of anger, and she was wearing a large orange CAMP HALF-BLOOD t-shirt with the sleeves torn off, ripped jeans, and combat boots. It was Classie la Rue, daughter of Ares and toughest girl in the camp but instead of her usual light brown stringy hair it was bright pink.
Clarisse launched herself at the Stolls but was held back by Beckendorf and one of his siblings. The Stolls screamed as Clarisse struggled to get free.
"Someone get Chiron!" a random camper shouted.
That's when everyone noticed that Beckendorf and his sibling were struggling holding Clarisse back and they all started to panic. Besides Beckendorf, Clarisse was one of the strongest campers.
"Yo, Silena!" Luke called. "Do mind working your magic and calm Clarisse down?"
Chiron came galloping to the commotion and Silena started to walked to Clarisse but someone beat her.
It was Percie.
She had walked to Clarisse and stood in front of her, "Calm down, Clarisse." she said softly.
The daughter of Ares snapped her head towards her, "Calm down? You want me to calm down?! Don't you see that my hair is pink? PINK!" she growled.
"I know that but I also know that if you attack Travis and Connor now, you might be benched from the Capture the Flag." Percie retorted, her voice becoming more soothing and hypnotic. Something that Anthony and Grover recognized from when she managed to calm the hellhounds earlier that day.
Clarisse started to calm down and stopped struggling, nodding along to Percie's words. The campers and Chiron looked in shock as Percie calmed the raging daughter of Ares.
Percie perked up, "How about this. The Hermes' cabin is allied with Apollo's right? So why don't you wait until Capture the flag and you can pummel them all you want."
Unexpectedly, Clarisse broke into a crazed smile with vengeance in her eyes, "Oh, yeah! See ya punks on the battlefield."
Clarisse turned to thank Percie but gasped instead. Everyone around her gasped and looked at her in awe.
"What? What is it?" Percie asked confused and uncomfortable with all the stares.
She then noticed she was glowing and gasped as she looked down at her self. Her outfit had been replaced with a white one shoulder, floor length, greek styled dress outlined with gold. A random camper had handed her a hand mirror, she grabbed the mirror and gasped once again looking at her reflection.
Her skin was smooth and flawless, no blemishes in sight, her lips were covered in shiny bright red lipstick, she had on light pink eye shadow, making her kaleidoscope eyes pop out, her hair appeared longer and was styled in loose, graceful waves falling around her shoulders with a flower crown made of deep red roses resting on her head.
In short, Percie looked breathtakingly beautiful.
Percie was confused to why she looked like this. She put the mirror down as Chiron stepped forward, "It is determined."
The centaur then kneeled before her and the rest of the campers followed suit.
"Hail Persephone Jackson-Blofis, daughter of Aphrodite, lady of the doves, goddess of love." he announced.
Percie was shocked. Aphrodite was her mother. The goddess of love. Then again that explained a lot of things in her life, like how she knew her dad was heartbroken, the way roses seemed to bloom in her presence, it even explained the dove necklace that her dad said that her mom gave her when she was born. Her mom was the lady of the doves.
Percie was shaken from her thoughts by a hand on her shoulder, she turned and saw Silena wearing a goofy smile.
"Welcome to the family, little sister." Silena said, her eyes sparkling.
Percie smile back.
Hope you enjoyed it. Also I kept Female Percy's name as Persephone because I believe that Aphrodite would name her that considering she loves forbidden love and starcrossed lovers and with the myth about Hades and Persephone.
Chèvre = Goat.
If you didn't realize by her last name, Percie's dad is Paul Blofis and her stepmom is Sally Jackson but her last name is a combination of both because she considered Sally a real part of her family.
