Author's Note:3 chapters in one night. I don't have anything else to say in my Author's Note. So... Ducks. Just Ducks. Bye~
After he explained it to me, I was dumbfounded. One of my parents was a Greek God? It seemed impossible. But I was the definition of impossibility. I mean silver hair? Violet eyes? Come on.
I stood up. "We leave now." He said, grabbing my shoulders.
I nodded and ran to my room. I wasn't dumb. I could tell he meant business. I grabbed the small amount of stuff I owned. Only the necessities. Maple syrup (Hello? It's so awesome.), clothing, money, and a German cross necklace that had been left to me from my real parents. I clutched my belongings to chest and went to Grover's room.
He stood there carrying his stuff. Once again he stood in front of a rainbow. This one was way bigger. He held a gold coin.
"Good thing Iris likes me." He groaned. He tossed the coin into the rainbow. "O Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering and let us travel to Camp Half-Blood."
I didn't really know what to do so Grover just tossed me in, following close behind.
What I saw made me gasp. I was in the middle of a camp. Like a summer camp. Beautiful, but very different, cabins in two U shapes were in front of me. Teenagers milled around everywhere. Some doing archery and some riding… winged horses? Pegasus. Some were fighting with swords. Wait. Swords? Not that I didn't love swords, It's just that it is a bit strange.
Mr. Rainbow Man (Who was apparently called Chiron.) walked up to us. Well he trotted since he was a freaking CENTAUR. I kinda had that dumb look on my face, the one comprised of shock and lack of sleep. He smiled at me.
"AH! Melanie Beilschmidt! Welcome to camp!" He gestured around us. "Grover has already explained to you right?" I nodded. "Well you won't need the orientation film then." He smiled faintly. "Well let's take you to the Hermes cabin. That's where the undetermined stay."
I gave him a confused look. "I know who Hermes is, but undetermined?"
"Everybody who is not claimed by their godly parent stays there until their parents claim them." He explained. I nodded slowly. This was making sense so far.
"Good. Until you are claimed, you will be staying in the Hermes cabin. Curfew is 10 and-" He cut himself off. He stared at something above my head. The entire camp followed his gaze. I didn't know what they were staring at."
"This soon? No! Wow!" A chorus of voices bombarded me. Chiron's excited gaze turned to worry.
"Who's symbol is that?" Grover said incredulously.
Chiron spoke very softly. His voice was laced with worry. "Oh this is bad. This is very, very bad."
I didn't know what was happening. I looked above my head, only to find the fading symbol of a Maple Leaf and a German Cross.
