+ Chapter Two +
A few days later, Adara woke up screaming the name of her dead best friend. Luke was sitting by her bed and shot up as he heard her. She burst into tears and threw her arms around Luke muttering how she could have saved her friend before falling asleep into his arms while crying. She woke up a day later. Adara was in a tent where injured people were laying in beds by her. She looked around confusedly. A chuckle came from the entrance of the tent. There, was a centaur, and only one word came into Adara's mind.
Chiron. Her mother softly mumbled into her head.
"You all gave us a fright, Adara. I am Chiron. We all were worried about you since you did kill five Cyclopes by yourself which I think is a brave thing," Chiron stated softly not wanting to wake up any of the people in the room.
"Where am I?" Adara asked softly as she looked around curiously.
"You are in the Infirmary, Adara," Chiron explained with a warm smile as he started to say something else.
"You are a demigod. I know it's hard to under–"
"Chiron, I already know this. My mother explained it to me," Adara interrupted Chiron with a soft laugh.
"Your father must be the Greek God, I presume?" Chiron asked.
"No, your presumption is wrong. My mother is the Greek God," Adara explained with an amused twinkle in her eyes.
"Interesting . . . Very interesting . . ." Chiron muttered.
"So, where is–"
"ADARA!" A voice exclaimed happily.
Standing at the entrance was Annabeth in a better condition than she had been when she arrived. Annabeth ran up to the bed and threw her arms around Adara wrapping her into a hug.
"I missed you. I thought you were going to end up like T-Thal–" Annabeth began.
"Shh, it's okay, love. Everyone wants happiness. No one wants pain, but you can't a rainbow without a little rain, sugar," Adara said softly rubbing Annabeth's back softly as Annabeth cried into her shoulder. They fell into silence until Chiron decided to interrupt.
"Annabeth, will you show Adara around Camp?" Chiron asked Annabeth as she brightened and nodded eagerly.
Adara got up from her bed, and followed Annabeth outside of the Infirmary. Adara was shown most of the camp with only the cabins left. Adara's eyes fell onto the beautiful camp and she gasped. It was truly magnificent. Annabeth led Adara to a strange arrangement of cabins. The first and most bold cabin was a marble building that looked like a mausoleum with heavy columns. There were big bronze double doors that were polished in a way to show a 'holographic' effect of lightning bolts passing across. Adara guessed that it was Zeus'.
"This is Lord Zeus' cabin," Annabeth said introducing the cabin and Adara had guessed right. Thunder rumbled into the sky.
Really, Lord Zeus? You need to calm down. She's just showing the cabins. Adara thought sarcastically.
Next, there was a cabin that looked exactly like Zeus', but was more elegant and graceful looking. The cabin was a marble, formal-looking building with columns that were designed with pomegranates, and flowers. On the doors was a large peacock. It was clearly Hera's.
"This is Queen Hera's cabin, and no one stays here since Hera is the goddess of marriage and all. She doesn't have children," Annabeth said pointing to the cabin.
The next cabin was a long one-story building with windows facing the ocean. The cabin was made of from sea stone and pieces of coral. Seashells were embedded into the outside walls and a trident on the top of the building. On the door was a big bronze number 3 over the door.
"This is the third cabin. It's Poseidon's cabin," Annabeth continued.
The fourth cabin was covered in flowers and tomato plants grew on the walls and doorway. Wild flowers and roses were on the porch, and it looked like they grew there. It had a grass roof, and was colored a light shade of brown.
"This is the fourth cabin. It's Demeter's Cabin," Annabeth continued.
The fifth cabin was painted a blood red and had a large boar's head over the door with barbed wire on the roof. It looked like people who like punk rock would stay here.
"This is Ares' cabin. The campers in this cabin are kind of scary looking and blurry," Annabeth said shuddering as she thought of the campers who stayed here, and how nice her 'welcome' had almost been with her escaping the last minute.
The sixth cabin was a large gray building with plain white curtains at the windows, and a design of an owl over the door.
"This is my cabin! I'm the daughter of Athena; the goddess of wisdom, handicrafts, useful arts, and battle strategy. Isn't it wonderful?!" Annabeth exclaimed beaming to Adara as Adara let out one of her musical laughs and nodded at the beaming Annabeth.
The seventh cabin was made of solid gold and it glowed like the sun. When Adara looked at the building, it almost blinded her. A blush arose onto Adara's face when she knew who this one belonged to; the handsome golden haired god – her first crush.
"That's Apollo's cabin," Annabeth said looking over curiously at the red Adara wondering why she was blushing a bright red.
The eighth cabin was an all silver building with silver curtains at the windows. The cabin looked like a normal cabin in the day, but it gave a silver glow. It was decorated with paintings and carvings of wild animals. Adara saw a picture of a stag, wolf, dog, and rat. Adara felt déjà vu as she looked at those particular animals, but nothing came up in her head.
"That's Artemis' cabin. Usually when Artemis' followers come, – they're called the Hunters of Artemis – they stay here, but other than that no one stays here," Annabeth said pointing to the cabin.
The ninth cabin was looked like a small factory with brick walls and smokestacks like the forges and lots of gears around the entrance. It screamed Hephaestus to Adara as she looked at it with a large grin. Adara loved making new things probably because of her blessing from Hephaestus.
"That's Hephaestus' cabin," Annabeth introduced.
The tenth cabin was wooden cabin covered in the color pink only with a painted blue roof. It reeked of heavy of designer perfume. Adara looked with wide eyes at the Barbie House in front of her.
"I know, right? That's Aphrodite's cabin," Annabeth said with a slight shudder which made Adara burst into laughter.
The eleventh cabin was a peeling brown paint building that looked over crowded, and a caduceus was over the door. It was in bad shape because it seemed so over-populated.
"That's Hermes' cabin. This is where unclaimed campers go, and if you are the child of a minor god, you'll stay here also. This is where you'll be staying until you get claimed," Annabeth said looking at Adara with pity as she glanced back at the cabin.
"That's Dionysus' cabin," Annabeth said pointing over to another cabin, and the last cabin.
The twelfth cabin was a building covered in grape vines. The cabin was a whiskey color.
"Well, let's take you over to the Hermes' cabin," Annabeth said pulling Adara with to the beat-up cabin.
Adara and Annabeth walked toward to the beat up cabin. Adara walked into the cabin with a mischievous grin. There was a huge crowd in the cabin, and as soon as they saw Adara, they all stopped.
"Is she determined or undetermined?" A boy with choppy hair with mischievous blue eyes asked with hopeful eyes wanting another sibling.
"Undetermined," Annabeth said as the hope in the eyes of the boy was crushed, and he mutely nodded.
"I'm Adara Black, nice to meet you, um . . .?" Adara softly said leaving the boy to fill in his name.
"Jordan Taylor, nice to meet you," Jordan said eyeing Adara's belongings with mischievous eyes, but Adara gave him an equally mischievous smirk that showed she could be a Hermes' child.
"Well, Jordan, where will I sleep?" Adara questioned.
"Right there," Jordan said motioning to a spot in the corner.
"Thanks, Jordan," Adara replied with a soft smile.
For the next couple of hours, Adara sat in her corner while shuffling through her things. Almost everyone had left the cabin, but some stayed behind and were taking a nap. Adara noticed this and smiled. Her mother had told her of being a witch, – which was true since she could do a lot of unexplainable things since she was young – and she wanted to try something.
Shield for my belongings. Shield for my belongings. Shield for my belongings. She thought over and over again and she felt a small rush come out of her hands.
Adara opened her hands to see bright white, green, blue, red, and purple sparks come from her hands heading towards her belongings and watched in awe as they formed an invisible shield. A huge grin made its way upon Adara's lips, and she giggled. With a fist thrown in the air, Adara started walking to the Dining Pavilion. Adara entered the Dining Pavilion, and walked up to where Chiron and another powerful man sat. The aurora around the other man was strong as a Greek god, and Adara gasped in realization.
"Y-You're Dionysus. Um, sorry, I mean Lord Dionysus," Adara stuttered trying to give the god a good impression as thunder was heard from outside of the Dining Pavilion.
To the shock of many, Dionysus gave Adara a smile. You could hear many campers gasp as they watched the interaction. Adara returned his smile with a respectful smile.
"I am Adara Black. It's very nice to meet you, Lord Dionysus," Adara introduced with a small smile.
"Yes, Adara, we've been expecting you," Dionysus said with a twinkle in his eye as Adara smiled knowing that he knew who she was; the daughter of Chaos.
All of a sudden, gasps were heard from all around the Dining Pavilion, and Dionysus and Chiron smiled Adara knowingly. People started murmuring and whispering to each other, but stopped as Chiron started to speak. Many symbols had appeared over Adara's head.
"Hail, Adara Black, daughter of the first primeval god, Chaos, the creator of the universe, beholder of all the elements with the blessings of all the twelve Olympians, Hades, and is the descendent of Hecate," Chiron exclaimed as everyone stared at Adara with wide eyes and got onto the floor to bow down.
"Well, Adara, I'm afraid that we don't have a table for you–"
"Don't worry, I'll fix that," Adara said with a large grin as she lifted up her hands facing them towards an empty spot in Dining Pavilion.
"τραπέζι (table in Greek)," Adara murmured – thinking about really wanting a table to appear seeing that was she seemed to get her magic going – in Greek as red, blue, green, white, and purple sparks came from her hands towards the spot, and a table appeared in the exact spot.
Another round of gasps was heard throughout the Dining Pavilion, and mummers broke out.
"Silence!" Chiron exclaimed as everyone quieted down.
"Continue the feast and Adara come with me," Chiron commanded everyone in the room along with Adara.
Adara followed Chiron to the tables in the front. Dionysus was staring at her with a welcoming smile. Chiron started to speak.
"Dionysus and I knew of your birth. Zeus had informed us that you were to come to Camp. I just wanted to say that you have to offer food to any god you want by putting it in the fire like all of the demigods are doing right now," Chiron said with a smile pointing towards all off the demigods who were dumping some of the food into the fire.
Adara followed Chiron's orders, and grabbed a plate full of food. She walked towards the fire, and grabbed the largest piece of steak off her plate, and put it into the fire.
First, for my mother; I love you, mama. Second, this is for all of the gods. I want to thank you for your blessings, and I look forward to prove that you gave the blessing to the right person! Adara thought in her head determinedly.
Adara walked to her table, and sat down. She could feel everyone's eyes on her small feminine frame, and she rolled her eyes.
People, here, really need to stop staring. She thought.
'Mistress is in distress. Repeat. Mistress is in distress.' Air hissed in her head.
'Really, Air? We are not in a James Bond movie.' Fire said sarcastically in her head.
'Great, here comes another argument.' Earth whispered into her head tiredly.
'We are not a James Bond movie.' Air mocked childishly into Adara head making Adara lips to curve up into a grin.
'Well, at least, Adara is happy now.' Water said reassuringly to Earth.
For the rest of lunch time, Adara took her time to her food. After lunch, lessons seemed to be happening all around the camp. Adara was waved over by a blonde boy with sky blue eyes, and bright blonde hair over to the bow and arrow lesson happening.
"Hello, Adara. My name is Lee Fletcher. Let's test your bow n' arrow skills, shall we?" Lee said with a blinding smile handing Adara bow n' arrows, but Adara rejected.
"It's okay. I have my own," Adara said pull off the sun charm (Apollo's) off her arms throwing it up into the air as it transformed in bow n' arrows.
Lee looked in awe at Adara's bracelet, and Adara smirked at his reaction. She snapped her fingers in front his face to make him stop staring.
"Well, let's do this, shall we?" Adara said with a smile.
"Okay. This is how you shoot an arrow," Lee said to Adara as she looked to see how Lee shot the arrow into the bull's eye.
Adara stood in position. She pulled back the arrow, and concentrated on the bull's eye. Adara let go of the arrow.
"It may be hard the first time since you're not a child of-"
"That's brilliant, Adara! This must be the blessing of Apollo kicking in!" Lee exclaimed looking awe-struck as he looked at the arrow which was right in the bull's eye.
"Or beginner's luck," Adara stated shrugging as Lee stared at her with a proud smile.
"Well, now you need to go over to the Hephaestus cabin so we can see your skills for tools, and inventing. Ask for Charles Beckendorf, he'll help you," Lee explained to Adara as she nodded.
Adara started to walk in the direction of the Hephaestus cabin. She hesitantly knocked on the door. In a second, the door was open. A tall male – an African American – stood at the entrance. At first to anyone, he looked pretty scary, but when you looked at him closely, you could see his warm brown eyes pleading for someone to not judge him by his looks. Adara could see this since she could read someone from their eyes. The saying – "eyes are the window to the soul" – would apply to everyone's eyes for Adara.
"Hello, I'm Adara Black, and I'm looking for a Charles Bekondorf?" Adara explained slightly uncertain.
"Oh yes! Fletcher told me about you. Here follow me," Charles said motioning to follow him.
Adara followed Charles into the Forges of the camp. The place looked like so much fun to Adara. She loved to make inventions. Charles smiled at the girl who was looking at awe of the place. He thought she could become a friend if she liked him, that is.
"So, Charlie, what are we going to do?" Adara asked with a cheeky smile.
Charles' eyes widened when he heard the nickname she had given him, but his lips slowly rose up into a large smile. He loved the feeling of having new friends outside of his family.
"Well, the tools are there. Just invent anything!" Charles exclaimed happily.
Adara saw the new sparkle in his eye – a sparkle of happiness and friendship – and she grinned at him. There for the next couple of hours, they worked on making new inventions, and happily talking and laughing with each other.
"Adara!"
Adara heard Chiron yell for her name outside of the Forges. She looked at Charlie, and smiled.
"I guess I'll have to go! See you soon, Charlie," Adara said as she gave Charles a quick hug running out of the Forges leaving a shocked Charles behind.
It was just that he never had been hugged by anyone besides his family – it was a first. He thought of young Adara Black as a sister, and a close friend. She was not a love interest. He had his eyes out for a certain daughter of Aphrodite.
Adara cheerily followed Chiron to wherever he seemed to be going. Chiron took her to the middle of Camp Half-Blood where everyone eyes seemed to be on her. Adara – noticing this – shrugged. She had to get used to all of this attention seeing that she was the daughter of the creator of the universe, and Camp Half-blood had nothing more exciting than her, and her powers.
"Well, first we'll start off with . . ."
Adara practiced her powers over the sky, such as her ability to fly or her power over lightning. It seemed that Zeus, and his wife seemed to be watching over Adara. Hera was surprised with how much power Zeus had given the girl. Adara showed how powerful she was as she shot up into the sky with lightning coming out of her hands to hit the ground giving her a boost into the air. She looked like a true daughter of Zeus. Surprisingly, Hera had grown fond over Adara for these past few years when she decided to check up on the daughter of Chaos. Even Zeus was surprised from how Hera seemed to like the girl more and more by day. She had seen her blessing in Adara work. Adara spent the rest of the day practicing her powers.
It seemed that over the years at Camp Half-Blood, Adara had progressed into one of the most powerful demi-gods – maybe, even the most powerful demigod. Adara had been sent on many quests such as saving the Aeolus who was greed god of the winds from the titan of the winds, Astraeus, who furious with the god from an argument that both had, or like when she saved a daughter of Erebus from the clutches of a jealous Nyx. Over all, she had seemed to have bonded with many minor gods/goddesses. They have been minor in many eyes, but Adara Black adored every god or goddess that she ever met, and it was the same for her/him.
Adara had also made friends with each Olympian counting Hades, and Hecate. Hecate was one of her preferred goddesses seeing that they had the magical ability in common. Hecate loved her little witch, Adara, so much. She couldn't wait when she reached the age of going onto the journey of her life – life at Hogwarts, and life as being the protector of both Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter. Adara Black was now going to be introduced to the Wizarding World.
