OMG I'm one day late, I'm sorry, but I still needed to touch up something so I couldn't post yesterday, I'm really really sorry.
Annabeth POV
My mom is a…goddess? Well I didn't see that coming. Who knew there were really gods in these world, we read about it in greek mythology class but I didn't expect all those to be real.
Anyways I had a talk with my mom the previous night and she apologized about the way she kept this a secret.
After that encouraging talk by Chiron, most of us went to our cabins to unpack our stuff. We are grouped by our godly parents. I headed for the Athena cabin after saying goodbye to my friends.
There I met my "siblings", I saw a few of them who are from Goode High. We talked for a bit until Athena came in to talk to us. She wished us good luck in our training and hopes that we can make great warriors and protect our country.
At lunch time, we are gathered at a big hall where we are again separated by our godly parents. I saw Percy having his own table, I guess he is the only child of Poseidon. Thalia had a blond boy with her, so she's not alone. Nico had Bianca with him, I saw Piper among the Aphrodite girls too.
I chatted with my table mates, there was Malcolm, Cassie, Sam and a few others. They are fun to be with, especially since we can discuss about knowledge and architecture.
After lunch we are gathered in the woods where Chiron said we are going to play a game. I broke away from my new friends and went over to where Percy was standing alone.
I tapped him on the shoulder and he jumped "Oh Annabeth"
"a little lonely, Jackson?"
He shrugged "Not very nice being the only kid of a god"
I laughed. "Well I'm sure you'll make friends soon."
Chiron walks up the podium and holds a loud speaker. "Today, on the day of your arrival, your skills will be put to test. All of you have not started training so it might be tough but we want you all t have fun on this one. The game we are playing is capture the flag. There will be two groups, red and blue. On the red team will be campers from Poseidon, Athena, Hephaestus, Aphrodite and Apollo cabins. On the blue team would be campers from Zeus, Hades, Ares, Demeter and Hermes cabins. You will have an hour to organize, strategize and grab your weapon of choice at the weapon shack."
We all went to the weapon shack and saw Thalia, Bianca and Nico there. Thalia saw us first and pointed at us "We're gonna beat you to the ground."
Bianca pouted "I want to be on the same team as Percy."
We all laughed. Thalia already picked her weapon, a sword and a shield. Bianca picked a bow and Nico, a black sword. Percy disappeared though, I wonder where he wondered off to.
After picking our weapons the red team and blue team gathered separately to discuss strategies. I followed my "siblings" because I didn't know where Percy was.
When we arrived Malcolm has already started organizing things. I saw Percy at the back looking at something on his hand, is it his weapon? No it's a pen.
Nico POV
Games on our first day huh? Wow. I love this camp, we get to use real weapons on the first day. I picked the black sword because I know about the metal, it's Stygian Iron, a metal that can only be found in the underworld, and for a underworld kid, I guess that's a good match.
We gathered again in the woods as Chiron gave his final speech and the rules and such.
"The objective of this game is to capture the enemy team's flag. Any injuries caused will be cured by the nymphs. They are great medics and children of Apollo, you might want to learn a bit from them. Okay then, good luck hunting,"
The red and blue team get ready in their respective bases. The flags have also been placed out of place so no one can find it. The plan is for the Ares cabin to charge right down the middle, Demeter and Zeus cabin will be in defence, whereas Hermes and Hades cabins will run down the flank.
Once the horn rang, everybody started running. Me and Bianca ran down the right flank with a few Hermes campers, namely Connor and Travis. They are fast and we can hide well in the shadows, the opponents won't know what hit them.
We met our first opponents soon enough, from the looks of it Aphrodite campers. They were really hot, I got to admit that, it took all of my strength just to keep myself from coming out of the shadows.
It didn't work so well for Connor and Travis though, they jumped out almost immediately and suddenly they were slashed in the back with swords. And there stood two bulky guys whom I assume is from the Hephaestus cabin.
I quickly jumped out and slashed one of them whereas Bianca shot the other with an arrow. When the Aphrodite girls are still in shock, I knocked them out with the hilt of my sword.
As my blended back into the shadows, nymphs started gathering around the six bodies and carried them off.
I constantly hear Ares cabin's roars so I feel we are winning. We forged on and landed on a booby trap, we were suddenly pulled up and packed in a sack. I kicked and slashed but couldn't break free of the strings.
Bianca managed to avoid the trap but couldn't break the strings either. I looked at her "You go on, I'll try to get out of this and catch up."
Bianca nodded and blended back into the shadows. I tried my best to cut the strings with my sword but to no prevail.
Well, at least I think we can win, I can still hear the sound of the Ares cabin. Suddenly, water bursts up somewhere on the other flank and the war cry of the Ares cabin has been turned into a screams of terror.
I could only think of one person who could do that, the son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson has awakened.
Liked it? I surely hope you did, so you can continue on this wonderful journey with me.
