After Dylan saw his mom attacked he ran back to his cabin. Hoping sleep might take away the image of what he saw, but it only made him see it more. That morning the camper were woken up early for breakfast. Dylan wasn't hungry so he just gave all his food to Athena and Poseidon. He prayed his mother would be okay.

"Dude, are you okay?" Alex asked.

"No. leave me alone." Dylan replied.

Alex just walked away. It was time for sword fighting. The instructor was really boring. So Dylan just zoned out the whole lesson. Then luckily he didn't get picked to have to fight.

Grover was talking to Chiron when he noticed Dylan.

"Can you hold on a second?"

"Sure."

Grover raced over to Dylan.

"Dylan what are you doing here?" Grover whispered.

"Going to the next activate." Dylan replied.

"Don't you know this is camp for half-bloods?" still whispering.

"Yes."

"But both your parents are demi gods."

"I know. But I'm seeing monsters, I have cool powers and I got through the door. So I'm assuming I am a demi god."

"This can't be. This never happened before."

"There's a first time for everything."

The two weeks drug on so slow, he was still very concerned about his mom. He called Percy asking updates every night. Percy told him she was fine, but Dylan could tell even his father wasn't so sure. When the two weeks were up and Dylan was finally able to talk to Annabeth again he was so happy.

The next two weeks were a lot happier. Dylan spent his time making new friends and enjoying his time at camp half blood. He never had this much fun in his life, and he never had so many friends.

Dylan and his friends Alex and Samantha, and Scott walked toward the archery field. Samantha was a daughter of Apollo she was really kind and sweet and but loved to laugh and joke around. She had long straight brown hair, light skin and blue eyes. Scott was a son of Zeus. Scott was really funny, he loved to make jokes. He had light short black hair, light skin and blue eyes. Dylan was okay at Archery but not as good as the Apollo kids. We walked into the field and took bows and arrows. We started doing some target practice.

"So did you hear what happened to that demi god in Jacksonville?" Alex asked, as the kids prepared their stances.

"No what happened?" Samantha asked.

"There was this Minotaur and this unknown creature, "Alex started. "And they attacked this kid and he died."

"There have been a lot of attacks like that recently." Scott said.

"Yeah I've been hearing about them all over camp." Dylan said.

"I`m kind of afraid to go home." Samantha said. "What if were not safe outside these walls?"

Everyone was silent. They didn't know what to say.

"I`m sure we can stay here as long we need to." Dylan said.

"Hey I bet I can hit the middle thing on the target." Scott said.

The three kids laughed.

"Yeah right. You never even hit the target once, "Dylan stated. "And you've been here longer than I have."

"I think I can hit it on the first try. Want to bet against me?"

"Fine. How much?"

"Three drachmas."

"You're on." Dylan said with a smile.

Scott moved his hand towards him then towards the target. Suddenly a huge burst of lighting came out of his hands, it hit the middle of the target which then caused the whole thing burst into flames.

Dylan laughed.

"What was that?" Dylan asked.

"I hit the middle part."

"Yeah with your lighting, it doesn't count!"

"I didn't say I could hit it with an arrow." Scott smiled.

"You jerk."

"Money please."

Dylan handed Scott the money.

*Later*

At the camp fire.

"Everyone I have an announcement." Mr. D stated.

Scott leaned over to Dylan and whispered. "I bet he is secretly gay and eloping with some alcoholic."

Dylan started laughing so much.

"Everyone due to the many deaths of demi gods old and young recently, "Mr. D said. "Chiron feels it might be more than just a coincidence. He feels someone is trying to get rid of the demi gods. I think he is crazy, but he insists. So we want to send a few of you kids to investigate what is going on. We would need these people to find out who is killing these demi gods and destroy them. Anyone want to volunteer."

"A quest? Like a real adventure? That sounds fun!" Dylan said to Samantha.

"Quests can be really dangerous, "Samantha told Dylan. "You could die if you go."

"Then come with me, Sam, then if I die you can heal me."

"It doesn't work like that."

"Just come with me, the four of us can go!" Dylan told her. "It`ll be awesome! And we`ll be less likely to die when the three of you are so skilled."

Dylan stood up and rose his hand.

"Sure, I haven't been on quest in a while." Alex replied.

"Neither have I, I'll go." Scott said.

"Just come with me, the four of us can go!" Dylan told her. "It`ll be awesome! And we`ll be less likely to die when the three of you are so skilled."

"Sure, I haven't been on quest in a while." Alex replied.

"Neither have I, I'll go." Scott said.

Dylan stood up and rose his hand.

"I want to go on the quest!" Dylan yelled.

"Great Liam Nackerson is going on the quest!"

"It's Dylan Jackson." Dylan told him.

"Doesn't matter." Mr. D replied. "Does anyone-"

Alex and Scott stood up.

"I'm going." Scott said.

"Me too." Alex said.

"And I'll choose…Alex to lead the mission." Mr. D said.

Alex smiled. "Yes!"

"Well you kids better start packing." Mr. D said. "You guys can head out tomorrow."

A lot of the other kids come over to the three of them wishing them good luck. Some even told them their theories about what was happening or how they thought they should approach the situation.

Samantha walked over to Alex.

"I want to go too." Samantha told Alex.

"Are you crazy? There can only be three." Alex told her. "If more than three go bad things can happen."

"I know, but I would be a big help, I could heal you guys if they get hurt."

"No!" Alex said. "You could get yourself killed or one of us."
