"Maybe if I go back to Chiron...Or my father, maybe they'll know..." I'm not sure they'll know, because even I don't know. Calypso tried cheering me up, but I just need to be aone for a little while. "Thanks...But I need some space, this is a lot to take in..." I said and went to the far side of the beach.

I looked at the endless ocean, I tried willing just a drop of water to rise, but I just felt more pain. "What is wrong with me? I was fine before I even went to sleep, what happened?" I asked myself miserably.

"Maybe if I go back to Chiron...Or my father, maybe they'll know..." I'm not sure they'll know, because even I don't know. Calypso tried cheering me up, but I just need to be alone for a little while. "Thanks...But I need some space, this is a lot to take in..." I said and went to the far side of the beach.

I looked at the endless ocean, I tried willing just a drop of water to rise, but I just felt more pain. "What is wrong with me? I was fine before I even went to sleep, what happened?" I asked myself miserably.

I looked at the black scar and cursed, "I...Feel so...UGH!" I shouted, my voice echoed. Feeling so useless, sucks...But then again, other people have it a lot worse than me. I kept walking, and walking, I made around the whole island about three times before Luke came and talked to me, "Listen Wyatt, I wanted to thank you and to ask you too..." He stopped and looked at Calypso's cave.

He reconsidered what he was going to say. "To just hang in there, everything will turn out fine, you just have to stay strong." He told me. I tried for a smile, "Thanks butt maybe you should work on trying to cheer people up."

He frowned, "What did I say?"

"Exactly." I said and walked into Calypso's cave (Which is our room) Maybe I can just go with the pain and shadow travel? But there is so much pain that I might pass out. I went to bed and instantly fell asleep, Calypso didn't want to push me so she stayed quiet and let me sleep.

~ The next day I asked Calypso and Luke to meet me at the beach.

"But why?" They asked in usion.

I shook my head, "I just have something to tell you." I told them as we walked, "Listen, I need to get to camp, I...I think Chiron can help me. Or maybe Artemis...I don't know." I said.

Luke stopped, "Uh..."

I turned and said, "You want to come along?"

"I do..." He admitted, "But the time isn't right..." He trailed off, I guess he's still thinking about how all the others are going to feel when they find out he's still alive...Well they probably think he is alive, since I went missing and everything.

"Alright, well if this works...Then I'll take you to camp when you're good and ready." I promised Luke. He smiled and nodded, "Thanks."

"No prob." I told him and got ready to shadow travel, I have to concentrate really hard and then I have to make sure...I don't scream when I get there...I don't know much pain I'm going to go through, but I better be prepared.

"Well...I'll see you two later, be good to each other." I smirked at them. Calypso gave me an angry look, Luke just waved, "Same to you, make sure to keep Artemis safe."

I laughed and shadow traveled, a second is all it takes, but a second can hurt...Or even last forever...In some people's heads. I was in camp alright...I felt that scar widen, then pain and more pain shot through my body, but it was mostly coming from my left shoulder.

I tried holding my arm...But it wasn't there, all I felt was a sleeve, I was scared to look, but I had to look, if what I think is not there...Then what's going to be next?

I opened my eyes and slowly looked at my left arm, my sleeve was swaying from left to right, no more pain, just the numbness of losing my left arm. I stared at it for the longest time, "Power comes with a price...I see..."

I checked my right hand just to be sure, there was no scar, I didn't feel any pain. One arm huh? I don't know what the hell to do at this point, I actually feel scared. Will the same thing happen to me, if I use my powers again?

I stood there wondering what's going to happen.

Another incident that makes me stop using my powers...But this time...It's all my power I can't use...Well I can, but I'm scared to use them.

As I was standing there, I heard a voice, "Wyatt...Knight...?" This person sounded like he was in disbelief, this isn't Nico, but this guy sounds familiar, I turned found out why.

Will Solace, Nico's friend. "Hey..." I said awkwardly. His mouth was hanging open, "It's really you." He said, like this was a dream, "You're actually back. Chiron has to know about this!" He shouted and tried to run to the big house, I sighed, "Will. Stop."

He listened and turned to me, "Huh...?"

"I'll tell him I'm here, but just don't tell anyone else, please?" I asked, Will looked confused, "But-

"Please?" I pleaded.

Why am I asking this? Shouldn't everyone know I'm back? What is wrong with me? "S-Sure...But what about Nico? He's been worried sick about you." Will told me. I scratched my head, "He can wait just a bit longer, I'm sorry, but please don't let anyone know I am here...Please."

Why am I so desperate not to let anyone I'm not here? It doesn't matter anymore, I already asked him. Will nodded, but he looked uncomfortable with my request. "Fine." He said and walked away. I stayed still for a minute, this isn't like me. Why did I ask someone I barely know, to keep me a secret from everyone? That just shows you how scared I am…Or how pathetic I am.

I wade my way to the big house. I wonder what Chiron will tell me. Or what he will think, I have to face this, and then I have to face everyone else and explain myself to them. I wonder how that's going to work out. I guess now's the time to find out. I was in front of the big house, as I was about to walk in, I heard someone yell. "The lake! Aim for the lake!"

I looked in the direction the voice was coming from. Hmm…A chariot on fire and it's coming down fast….That can't be good. I started to fly but then I stopped, that was Annabeth's voice…I should at least make sure they're alright…Or…I looked back at the front door. I realized I was using my powers. I didn't even…I guess without actually knowing I'm using them, I can use them…Probably. I made up my mind, I'll go and see if she's alright. But I can't be seen…Can I?

Again I hesitated. Just go back to normal already! I always help demi-gods from camp, why are you hesitating!? I'm tearing myself apart. But it's true, why am I hesitating? It's not like I did something bad, it won't hurt me to see some old friends…Right?

I started floating over to them. When I got there, no one noticed me, I looked down at all of them. "Annabeth!" Will pushed through the crowd. "I said you could borrow the chariot, not destroy it!"

"Will, I'm sorry," Annabeth sighed. "I'll get it fixed, I promise."

Will scowled and then he noticed me, "What's the point of asking me that, if you're just going to show yourself five minutes later!?" He shouted up to me. He looked angry, he's…Scary. How is Nico friends with him?

Everyone looked up at me, Annabeth didn't turn, there was some new faces…Actually there was a lot more people here then the last time I was here. I stared down at them all. Complete silence, I guess I should say something, I floated down to them, "It's good to see you all again."

When I landed a boy was staring at me with his mouth hanging open, he had curly hair and his was rather skinny, more than me. And next to him was a blond dude who was taller than me and bigger…To the left of the curly haired boy was a girl, who I swear reminded me so much of the goddess, Aphrodite. Annabeth still had her back turned, "Hello new campers…I assume you guys are new, are you?" I asked.

They were still shocked by me flying and everything. "Oh…My bad, uh let me-

Annabeth finally turned around looked at me, all the campers around got ready to back away. But all Annabeth did was smile, "Wyatt, it's god to see you too. But." She said and walked a little closer, the campers thought that's all she had to say so they tried to come forward, "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU WHEN WE NEEDED YOU THE MOST!?" I stumbled backwards, and then she pushed me, I fell on my butt, "Hey Annabeth, calm down, I'll explain everything, first things first, help these three out." I said, Annabeth looked like she was going to slap me.

"He's right." Will said.

Thank you!

Annabeth narrowed her eyes at Will and then everyone else, she sighed deeply and calmed down, "I'm…I'm sorry Wyatt, it's just that Per-

She stopped, "Good to see you." She said and turned to the others.

Per...Percy? Something happened to Percy?

"How about some answers, before this goes any further, like, what is this place, why are we here, how long do we have to stay?" The blond guy said.

"Jason," Annabeth said, "I promise we'll answer your questions. But first we'll assign each you a guide, give you guys a tour of camp. Hopefully by the campfire tonight, you'll all be claimed."

I held up my hand, "Wait a minute, I thought being claimed is a rare thing to happen. There's no way they'll get claimed by tonight."

Annabeth ignored me, what did I do? Oh right…I disappeared for a while. "Would somebody tell me what claimed means?" The new girl said.

Suddenly there was a collective gasp. I don't believe it, why would the gods start paying attention to their kids now? What happened after I left? The boy with curly hair had a blazing fiery hammer floating above his head. "That," Annabeth said, "is claiming."

"Seriously, what happened ever since I've been gone!?" I shouted.

Well this might be it for today.

Thanks for reading!
