Guest: AND YOU SHALL HAVE IT!
Azure Dragon of the East: I think the difference is obvious. The Lord of Bones' realm is basically a Christianity Land of the Dead, while Hades' realm is the Underworld.
OrkinEX78: You'll just have to wait and see. And what do you mean by easier time getting to the Underworld? It's not like he, nor his family, have the power to teleport to places. When the Horsemen travel to different realms, they use Serpent Holes or are sent in like a meteor, as we've seen in Darksiders 1, Darksiders Genesis and Darksiders 3.
Andrakon: I'm trying to make it as equally good as Son of Thor.
Light Hero Kaiser: Thanks.

After Andromeda and Grover had been taking to the infirmary, Chiron and Annabeth sought to answer any of Damian's questions, believing he might be confused about this whole thing but Damian said he wasn't. He knows what he is and that he had to come here, and that his godly parent was his mother. He didn't fully tell them who and what he is, told them nothing about his father, aunt or uncles only that they taught him how to fight and handle himself in a fight, as well as had him look up everything about Greek Mythology, which he had actually done so though his mother told him that some of the stories had been twisted to paint the gods in a good light.
After this, Chiron and Annabeth took him on a tour of the camp, starting with the Big House.
"This is the Big House, where I and the other director stay and greet the new demigods with the orientation film. It also doubles as the infirmary for any wounded." Chiron explained, while guiding Damian up to the deck, where he could see who he guessed was the second director sitting at the table with a few cans of Diet Coke.
At first glance, the guy didn't look like much, with a chubby face, red nose, curly hair so black it looked purple, watery, bloodshot blue eyes, and wearing a tiger-striped Hawaiian shirt. But Damian knew not judge someone based on their appearance alone, one of his father's father's lessons..
"This is Mr. D, our Camp Director." Chiron said.
'Hm, so this is Dionysus.' Damian thought, while going off his description from what his mother told him of the other gods. She had mentioned that one of the gods was at the camp, Dionysus, and since there was a guy calling himself Mr. D, that can only be the God of Wine himself.
"Oh, I suppose I must say it. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. There. Now, don't expect me to be glad to see you." Mr. D said, while flipping through a wine catalogue, before lowering it and looking at the son of Death with narrowed eyes.
"Is there a problem?" Damian asked with a raised brow while placing a hand on one of his scythes in warning.
Mr. D noticed the gesture but said nothing about it. "You... seem different than the others. Least you have brains to come with your own weapon rather than have us give you one. Though don't think you'll get special treatment, I dislike all demigods equally." With that, he went back to his magazine.
'As uncle Strife would say, what an asshole.' Damian thought with a small scowl at how casually he was dismissed by the god.
"Anyway, moving on." Chiron said, guiding Damian and Annabeth out of the Big House. "Annabeth, I must check on Andromeda and Grover, I trust you can continue the tour for Damian?"
"Sure Chiron." Annabeth nodded, looking at Damian with excitement as well as curiosity as her eyes drifted to the scythes he had.
Chiron nodded and trotted off, leading the two twelve year olds on their own.
"Come on." Annabeth said, grabbing his hand and pulling him along.
Damian raised an eyebrow. "Do you have to take my hand? Not that I mind a cute girl holding my hand."
Annabeth blushed at his words and quickly released his hand. She showed him much of the camp like the strawberry fields, volleyball court, the nearby lake, the forest that was stocked with creatures, the lunch area, and finally she showed him the cabins.
"Alright Damian, these are the camp cabins where all campers stay while here. There are twelve cabins, one for each Olympian. Though Hera's is there to honour her." Annabeth explained to the son of Death. "As for Zeus and Poseidon, well they made an oath to not have any kids after World War 2, a oath they made alongside their brother Hades."
"Right, well I wonder how long Zeus kept to that oath before he couldn't resist keeping it in his pants." Damian remarked, knowing Zeus and his history when it came to women. Plus Damian had a deep hatred for the King of Olympus, for the pain he put Hera, Damian's mother, through by cheating on her for so many centuries. Hera had told him she was over Zeus, thanks to Death, but Damian silently vowed to himself that he will drive his scythes through Zeus' heart and rip it out of his chest.
"Uh... yeah." Annabeth said uncomfortably as she glanced to the tall pine tree, causing Damian to do the same and he frowned as he could sense... a soul. Being the son of the Grim Reaper, Damian seemed to have an affinity to feeling souls like his father could do. And he could feel a presence within the tree, lost in limbo. "So that's the Zeus' cabin."
She pointed at a cabin that can only be described as a marble building looking like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The big bronze double doors are polished in such a way to provide a 'holographic' effect of lightning bolts passing across. It also thunders all the time. It is described as looking like a bank.
"Next, we have Hera's." Annabeth said, immediately getting Damian's attention as he looked at his mother's cabin, the one he will be able to stay in once she claims him. Hera's cabin looked like a marble, formal-looking building, graceful with slim columns garlanded with pomegranates and flowers. It is done similarly to her husband, Zeus' cabin except smaller. However, Hera's cabin is more graceful, having slimmer columns with pomegranates and flowers around them. The walls also have images of peacocks carved on them, as well as the doors. "However, nobody's allowed in there unless they want to face the wrath of the Queen. Hera doesn't have demigods due to her being married to Zeus and the Goddess of Marriage."
'And yet her husband cheats on her all the time.' Damian thought with anger at the thought of Zeus again but he mentally smirked. 'Joke's on everybody who thought Hera would never give Zeus a taste of his own medicine and cheat on him, regardless if it goes against her domain. I'm pretty sure any immortal woman would be fed up with their husband cheating for centuries and decide to get even with him.'
"There's Poseidon's cabin." Annabeth said as she pointed to the next cabin.
The Poseidon cabin is a long, low building with windows facing the ocean. The cabin is made from rough sea stone, pieces of coral and seashell embedded into the outside walls, and a trident with a big bronze number 3 over the door.
Damian nodded and they moved on.
"Next, we have Demeter's cabin." Annabeth said, pointing to the cabin that s covered in flowers and tomato plants grow on the walls and doorway. Wildflowers and roses grow on the porch. It has a real grass roof. The cabin is colored a light shade of brown.
"Not bad." Damian complimented. his mother had mentioned that his aunt Demeter was protective of her children, having been nicknamed 'Grainzilla' by Hades.
"Next, we have... Ares' cabin." Annabeth said with a sigh as she gestured to a cabin that is badly painted red and has a large boar's head over the door with barbed wire on the roof. There have been mentions of the cabin being lined with land mines. Rock music is constantly blaring from it.
"Ares... the God of War." Damian said as he stared at the cabin. "Long as they don't try to bother me, I won't bother them."
"They most likely will." Annabeth said sheepishly, causing Damian to look at her with a raised eyebrow. "They have a 'initiation' for newcomers."
"Then they'll learn the hard way why it's not wise to bother me." Damian said seriously. "Let's move on."
The next cabin they spotted is a gray building with plain white curtains and a design of an owl over the door.
"That's Athena's Cabin. where I stay." Annabeth said, hands on her hips and chest puffed with pride.
"You've definitely got the pride then." Damian remarked, getting a small glare from the daughter of Athena.
The next cabin was made of solid gold and made to glow during the daytime - it's hard to tell if the gold is reflecting light or generating it.
"That's Apollo's cabin." Annabeth said, then pointed to a all-silver building with silver curtains. It is decorated with paintings and carvings of wild animals, but mostly the stag. "And that's the Artemis cabin, but nobody goes in there save for the Hunters of Artemis when they visit. After all, Artemis doesn't have children due to her oath to remaina virgin, but she treats the Hunters like her own children."
Damian grunted and they moved on to the next cabin, which looks like a small factory, with brick walls and smokestacks like the forges and lots of gears around the entrance.
"That's the Hephaestus cabin." Annabeth said.
Damian nodded and turned to look at the next one, only to blink several times. "Okay... what the hell is that?" He asked, pointing to the wooden cabin with a painted blue roof, pillars, checkerboard deck with steps and gray walls. It also has a pink door and potted carnations by the window. It also smells heavily of designer perfume.
"The giant barbie house? That's Aphrodite's cabin." Annabeth said with a snort of amusement at Damian's reaction.
"They sleep in a barbie house?" Damian asked with disbelief. His mother hadn't mentioned much about Aphrodite, only being short and to the point when referring to the Goddess of Love, though she warned Damian to stay out of her way for... reasons. Damian didn't know why, but he just assumed his mother was being protective since Aphrodite has been known to seduce many to her bed.
"Basically yeah." Annabeth nodded. She gestured to the next cabin which has peeling brown paint and a caduceus over the door. It is probably in such bad shape because it was so over-populated. "That's the Hermes cabin, where you will be staying until your mother claims you. And yeah, it doesn't look good as it's quite... overpopulated."
"Let me guess, most of the kids there are unclaimed by the Olympians because they forgot or don't care." Damian said with a roll of his eyes. "I bet some are the kids of minor gods, but it's not like they have cabins of their own."
"Well... yeah, you'd be right." Annabeth said as she rubbed her arm. "Some of the kids in there have been for years and never been claimed."
"Only because their parent wants them to do something worthy enough to get their attention." Damian scoffed. "Do any of the Olympians claim their kids upon entering camp?"
"Apollo, Demeter, Hermes, Aphrodite and Athena." Annabeth listed off. "And finally, we have the Dionysus cabin." She to the cabin that has its roof and walls lined with grapevines.
"But with no Hades or Hestia cabin." Damian said with a frown. That was twelve cabins they just looked at, one for each of the Olympians and there was none for Hades or Hestia, not even honorary ones since they were the eldest son and daughter of Kronos and Rhea?
"Well... Hades isn't exactly welcome on Olympus, and Hestia... most tend to forget her." Annabeth said with sadness that Hestia was just forgotten like that.
Damian frowned before he looked to the fire pit in the centre of the field. What had caught his eye in the first place was the girl, about nine years old, tending the flames, poking the coals with a stick.
As if sensing she's being watched, the girl looked right at him and his electric blue eyes locked with flames- her eyes were literally filled with flames. But these flames weren't violent; they seemed cosy, like a small, warm campfire.
Also, her face was shockingly beautiful for a nine-year-old girl, which creeped Damian out for a second because he didn't want the FBI tackling him. The son of Death knew right away that this had to be Hestia, the Goddess of the Hearth.
Hestia seemed shocked, like she wasn't used to people seeing her. Then she smiled and waved at him. Damian just gave a small smile and waved back.
"So you saw Hestia." Annabeth said, causing Damian to look at her. When he looked back, Hestia was gone. "Yeah, she hangs around the fire pit most of the time, but she is someone to confide in when needing to let out some much needed frustration or whatever bottled-up feelings you have inside."
Damian eyed her, seeing there was more to her words. "Did you do that?"
"I... yeah." Annabeth sighed and nodded. "When I first came here, I had... something on my mind that i kept bottled up and Hestia helped me release it. When you need someone to talk to, she's there to sit and listen."
"Hmm." Damian hummed and nodded before they moved on for the rest of the tour...
And that's it for this chapter, which is basically Damian being introduced to camp. The next will be a couple of days later when Andromeda awakens.
