When Percy entered the camp, he felt right at home; At least for the time being. There were kids at the sword arena, people fighting with magic, and much more. Some kids were tending to the strawberry fields. "Probably children of Aunt Demeter and Dionysus" Percy thought.
The campers that came with Percy dispersed and Percy followed Chiron.
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, my boy." Chiron said and then whispered, " I am sorry but you must go to the Hermes Cabin until Lord Poseidon has claimed you. If I put you in the Poseidon Cabin right away, the campers will get suspicious of you. Please excuse this."
Percy replied," It's ok; I might be claimed after a while as Uncle Zeus doesn't want anyone to know who I am."
Chiron whispered," As you will." Chiron called a boy over and told him to give Percy a tour of the camp. During the tour, Percy wasn't paying much attention except nodding politely once in a while as Athena had already showed him the whole camp in a hologram. After about 30 minutes, the tour was over and Percy was about to enter the Hermes cabin when a girl shouted to him.
"Hey newbie, get over here or do you want me to drag you." Percy took out his pen but didn't unsheathe it.
"Haha, the boy is going to start writing to mommy. " Now Percy was angry. He put his pen in his pocket and raised his hand. Suddenly a huge storm came up. Rain poured down and lightning could be seen. The ground crackled and skeletons started pouring out.
"You, Child of Ares, how dare you say that. You shall pay for dearly." Percy spoke in the stern voice he had gotten from Zeus. He wasn't going to hurt the girl but he needed to make the campers respect him if he was going to be their champion in the future. The girl's eyes widened but she quickly narrowed them and shouted,
"UGGH!" Then held her spear and charged at him. Percy chuckled and thought, these campers are worse fighters than I thought. He easily sidestepped her spear for a few times then held it right with his hand. Before the girl recovered, he used his force to snatch it right out of the girl's hand.
"Next time you make that mistake, I will make you wish you were not born." Percy boomed. Then he left to the Hermes Cabin. He could hear the campers whispering, "How did he command those powers?" "He defeated Phoebe that easily?!" Percy smiled; at least they would not challenge him anymore. He frowned at how many campers were crowded into the Hermes cabin. The Gods had neglected to claim their children. He would have to ask his uncle about that. Percy was assigned a small portion of the room. It consisted of a sleeping mat, a blanket, a small drawer, and pretty much nothing else. Percy mused about how it was compared to his room in Poseidon's palace but made himself at home.
A boy came over and cheerfully said, "Hey, how are you? I am Luke Castellan, Counselor of the Hermes Cabin."
Percy replied, "Jackson. Percy Jackson. It's nice to meet you."
"Well, until you get claimed" Luke said and then said in a bitter tone, "which will take forever, you can ask me for help around camp."
All right, thanks for the offer." Percy said. He joined the Hermes cabin I doing their activities. Once they got to sword fighting with Luke, Luke said.
"All right, I will be fighting with Percy for today and you guys get a partner for yourselves." As Percy was going to Luke, a few people muttered to him "Good Luck, Defeating Luke is Impossible."
Luke told the group, "I want you guys to see me duel Percy and understand what I do to defeat him." Percy didn't like how he didn't even consider Percy to win from him so Percy wanted to show he is not just a noob.
"Percy, you need a weapon?" Luke said.
"Nah, I got my own." Luke was taken back a little that Percy had a weapon but didn't show it.
When Percy took out a golden pen, Luke chuckled, "Percy, I meant a read weapon, like a sword."
Percy didn't reply, he just uncapped his pen and a golden sword was in his hand, to the astonishment of the group of campers.
"Wicked!" Luke said. Then he unsheathed his own sword. "Good Luck!" And with that, the son of Hermes charged. He didn't expect Percy to be this strong but no matter, he attacked with more strength. However, Percy easily blocked all of them and then Percy's eyes widened at a mark on Luke's sword. A scythe. The Mark of Kronos, Titan of Time!
