Chapter 2: I'm introduced to Camp Half-Blood
Authors note: HEY SRY GUYS THE LAST CHAPTER WAS SO SHORT I PROMISE TO MAKE THIS ONE LONGER
DISCLAIMER: I SAID I ONLY OWEND 2 CHARACTERS well I lied I own 3 :D I forgot to mention mom was mine to. Might even include more characters soon in chapter 3.
"Who?" asked my mom. "The monster that attacked Basil?." "No Ms. Grobnic that's only that was only the beginning of things" said Sebastian. After that I noticed he wasn't wearing any pants and that he had goat legs. "Um.. Sebastian". "Yeah?". "You have goat legs". "That's because I'm a satyr". I guess he could tell my mind was in a blank cause after that he said: "I'll explain at camp but we have to go.. now". "But wait Sebastian what followed you?" asked my mom. "A manticore".
After that my mom hugged me tightly and gave me my school bag but instead of being filled with books, it was filled with a few jeans, my sleeping bag, some food and a bag full of cash witch was labeled for emergencies only. Right after my mom gave me a big hug roaring could be heard from the distance so I hopped in the side cart of Sebastian's motorcycle and left for camp. Sebastian explained to me some stuff about the camp. The camps name was Camp half-blood and he told me it was a special camp for people like me called demigods. He explained that demigods were the children of a god and a demigod. He also explained that the Greek gods were real and that mount Olympus was located in the empire state building. He told me about the monsters and that the entrance to the underworld was in LA (Los Angeles). He also told me that the camp was in Long Island, New York witch I already knew but since I lived in Orlando, Miami I never visited New York.
"We have just entered New York Basil!"he shouted so I could here him.
"Long Island?" I asked surprised because I was only an hour in the motorcycle(or so it seemed)
"Yeah camp is just a few more miles down the road. We should be there in about five minutes"
`Everything seemed fine until a manticore came out of nowhere and tackled the motorcycle and sent me and Sebastian flying towards the road. It appeared Sebastian was knocked out cause he kept moaning the same words over and over again saying: "pain pain pain" so I figured he was hurt. But before I could do anything the manticore pounced at me. Luckily I dodged and suddenly remembered what my mom had said about the watch and the ring. I touched the omega symbol on the watch (witch btw looks like this Ω) and suddenly my watch became a bronze 13'' round bronze shield. I was lucky to pick the shield first because the manticore pounced and when the shield sprang open the manticore smashed its teeth into the shield. After that I touched the omega symbol on the ring and it became a 15'' bronze sword that was well balanced. When the manticore got to his senses he attacked me with his claws but before he could hit me I dodged and stabbed his leg with my sword. He let a cry of pain come out of his bleeding foot and tried to bite me once more but I banged my shield into his head and he became unconscious. I took that as an advantage and sliced the tail of the manticore and stabbed his head.
After that the monster disintegrated instantly into a pile of ashes and left nothing but a tooth. I decided to keep it as a war price and then rushed to help my friend Sebastian who was lying unconscious on the floor. Instead of muttering "pain" he was muttering "nectar" I didn't really know what he meant but I grabbed his bag and took out a canteen full of yellowish liquid which I assumed that it was the nectar he was talking about. I held his head up so he would drink the nectar and after one sip he was up and running. He didn't really remember much and so I told him all about the fight as he drove to camp.
"Really? I don't believe you" he said as if I were a liar.
"O really then explain this" and I showed him the manticore tooth.
"Wow so you really did fight a manticore. When did you learn sword fighting skills?
" I used to LARP when I was younger" He looked at me like I was kidding but then he figured I wasn't and stopped grinning. "But that still doesn't explain the skill you had while fighting did you even know what you were doing?" he asked. You know, know that I thought about it he was right. It doesn't explain (using nerd language now) a level 29 monster in WoW(world of war craft) be defeated by a level 1 warrior.
"I don't know" I finally said. "It was by instinct I guess".
"Yeah must have been instinct" he said but he didn't sound so convinced. "Who knows maybe your godly parent is Ares. I mean battle instincts don't just happen"
"I don't think so Sebastian I'm not that aggressive I just have anger issues"
"Its called ADHD Basil. Most demigod children have that or dyslexia or both"
"Yeah don't think I'm dyslexic because I can read pretty well"
"Yeah well here we are" He said excitedly
"Were? All I see is a pine tree and the woods, and also that big Greek looking arch. How didn't I notice that in the first place". I asked myself out loud.
"We should probably go in now" said Sebastian as he throttled the motorcycle forward and the second I laid eyes on the camp I thought 'I never wanted to leave'
Like the end of the chapter?
