I write too many 'regular stories'. So here's another format! :D A diary!
OK, here's the journal of Thorn Evercrest, a son of Demeter that really hates the way that everyone stereotypes Demeter kids as wimps.
Dear journal,
I can't believe Katie makes us all write in these stupid 'journals' every night. It's just plain stupid. I hate being a son of Demeter. I get called weak by the other guys. Whatever.
I'mm going to try and flush this book down the toilet now.
Bye,
~Thorn Evercrest
Dear journal,
ARGH I can't believe this book is waterproof and dirt-proof! Katie knows her stuff when it comes to buying journals... Anyway. Today we learnt sword-fighting. It was pretty good at it. Everyone else kind of sucked. I wish I was a son of Ares, then I could beat stuff up without being questioned.
See you tomorrow,
~Thorn
Dear journal,
Today Katie forced me to go gardening. It sucked. I knew all the latin names for the flowers but it got really boring. Then Miranda taught me how to use plants as weapons, but she wasn't very good at it. We were using vines to strangle dummies, but she wasn't very into it. She says she learnt it from her brother who died in the Titan War.
Anyway I got really into it. The trick is to feel like the vines are an extension of your own body. Wow, that sounded kinda wrong. OK, so I got really good at it and stuff. I will be doing that again! Plant powers for the win!

Hey Journal!
I mastered the vine move thing! Tomorrow in Capture the Flag, it will be Poseidon Versus Athena- sure to be interesting. Demeter is allying with Poseidon. We've already started planning! However, Athena is allied with Apollo. I'll need to watch out for aerial arrow attacks. (hehe, say that three times fast!)
OK bye!

Dear journal,
CAPTURE THE FLAG WAS FREAKING AWESOME! OK first of all, I was in charge of guarding our flag. I took a long time setting up vine traps- but it was worth it. Only Will Solace from Apollo got through, and I attacked with my vines. He had whip marks all over him! It was so fun! Laurel (from my cabin) is an amazing runner, and she got the flag easy as pie! Now the flag belongs to Demeter.. hmm... I should start planning.
Looking over my previous entries in this diary, I am pretty shocked that i used to hate being a son of Demeter. I mean, yeah, we are looked upon as wimps, but actually, plants can do some serious damage.
Off to gather some herbs for a Hecate kid's potions!
