Chapter 3:

I got a strange feeling I shouldn't be there and at the same time I felt I had been somewhere like this. I remembered orange shirts and kids playing capture the flag. I remembered a girl named Annabeth, she is my girlfriend. Then I felt excruciating pain. My head was about to explode. I started screaming and fell to the floor. I was on my knees holding my head in my hands. My pain was killing me. I could hardly hear Lauren screaming at me, asking what was happening. All I remember is the pain before I blacked out.

I woke up and I didn't remember anything of what I had remembered. As soon as I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was Bobby. He was looking at me and bombarded me with questions. "How are you feeling? What happened to you back there? Where did you learn to fight? How come you beat Reyna? Who are you?" That made my head hurt again and I grunted. He immediately stood up and handed me a glass. "Drink this" he simply said. I did and I felt better. This time he asked me only one question "How do you feel?" I thought about it and said "Better, I don't know what happened to me back there." I looked at his face and saw he was about to start the questioning but right then a wolf came into the room. I felt scared out of my wits.

Bobby stood up and I thought he was going to fight it. Unexpectedly he bowed and said "Lupa" in a respectful way. "It's time for him to prove his worth; get him ready" the wolf said. She turned to look at me "To be here you have to show us you deserve it. Bobby will help you get ready, the fight is in two hours. Your friends are already getting ready." With that she left and I got off bed. "What going on, where am I?" Bobby turned to look at me and said "I forgot you weren't with us when I explained it."

He gave me a tour around the camp. There were many arenas to train archery, sword play, rock climbing, etc. there where many cabins but the twelve in the middle where the biggest. Bobby explained to me that they where the cabins for the sons of the Mayor Gods. There were some to the sides but the where for the minor gods. There is no such thing as minor gods. I thought and kept going with the tour. This placed seemed too serious for my taste. The cabins where gray on the outside and with the symbol of the God or Goddess on the top of the door. I wanted to see if I understood and said "So that once is the one of Zeus, right? And then there is Hera on one side and Poseidon on the other." Bobby looked at me like I was crazy and said "Well here we call them by their Roman names. Jupiter, Juno and Neptune. It is really odd you know their Greek names. Oh well let continue the tour."

During the tour he explained to me everything. He told me about the demi-gods and me being a son of a God. There was a point when he asked me. "So is your mortal parent you mother or father? That could make it easier to know who your godly parent is" I thought and my head started throbbing. "I-I don't k-know." I stuttered. "What do you mean you don't know?" he said curiously. "I woke up this morning and I didn't even remember my name. I didn't remember does people I was with. I don't even know my age!" I said. It was a relief to tell someone, even a complete stranger. "Reyna won't be happy about that. She could swear you had something to do with Jason's disappearance but that's another topic. I won't offer you a sword but you have one. I would ask you where you got it but you probably don't remember. Try on some armor." I thought about it. "Well I know its name is Riptide. The sword I mean but I don't know how I know that. Oh, and I would rather not wear the armor. I'm fine like this."

I was in the armory changing room so I looked myself at the mirror then for the first time. I saw my dark hair and green eyes. I noticed I was wearing an orange shirt I recognized but I didn't know from where. Having amnesia is getting annoying. The shirt and my shorts where dirty but that wasn't what I found odd. The necklace I was wearing was the weirdest thing of all and Reyna had said something about it earlier. It had four clay beads one with a trident, one with the empire state, one with something golden and one with a sort of Maze. Strange. Trying to make conversation I turned to face Bobby. "Who is your godly parent?" The question surprised Bobby for a moment then said. "I am Bob Moore, son of Minerva the goddess of Wisdom and battle strategy." I was going to say that Athena was the goddess of Wisdom but I remembered a female voice: The Greek Gods also have roman names for example Zeus is Jupiter, Poseidon is Neptune, Athena is Minerva and so on. Here is a list of all of them. You can keep it if you want. "What did you say?" asked Bobby interrupting my thoughts. "I didn't talk."I said instantly. He gave me a what-are-you-talking-about look and told me. "Yeah you did dude. You said Annabeth" Again my head started throbbing I let out a scream and blacked out again. I could hear a voice in my head "Young hero it's more important you don't get your memories this soon. Sorry it had to be you and not him the one in pain but it's necessary. Don't worry you will remember when the time is right." Then I woke up.
