The one thing that was running through Bra's mind was anxiousness. She was a bit nervous to see all these people. This world clearly wasn't like her own, and she'd never seen such a high concentration of teenagers in one place (besides the mall, though). It was enough to make her feel hesitant about leaving the infirmary, which was quiet since she was the only person there. " Come on, Nothing to be afraid of," Annabeth reassured with a smile, " Everyone's friendly, well, most of them."
Chiron had already wheeled out of there, and Annabeth beckoned for Bra to follow. Bra stood up, grabbed her sack, which she remembered she had, from the table and walked out the door with her. Walking down the porch steps, she could see an amazing view of the valley, with all the kids playing. A big stretch of woods to the northwest, a beautiful beach, the creek, the canoe lake, lush green fields, and a whole layout of cabins - a bizarre assortment of buildings arranged like a circle- shape symbol , Ω, with a loop of cabins around a central green, and two wings sticking out of the bottom on either side. Bra counted twenty cabins in all. One glowed golden, another silver. One had grass on the roof. Another was bright and red with barbed wire trenches. One cabin was black with fiery green torches out front. All of it seemed like a different world from the snowy hills and fields outside.
As they trudged up the hill, Annabeth spoke. " This, Bulla, is a very special place for kids like us, called demigods, which means children of gods." Annabeth glanced over at Bra to see how she would take it, like she'd done this explanation many times before.
" Oh, well that's cool" Bra replied, giving a small smile.
" I assume you've seen the cabins. Each one represents a Greek god- a place for that god's children to stay," Annabeth started to walk, " Come on then, let's go tour the rest of the camp." They walked a little bit further down, and Bra could see something on the crest of the hill, where a single pine tree stood. At the bottom branch, something glittered, kind of like a fuzzy gold bath mat or rug, in her opinion. She saw the base of the tree. Standing there was a pile of purple cables. She rubbed her eyes, then the image changed into a purple dragon. ' hm, that's weird', Bra thought, as they continued. In the central green, a group of campers were playing basketball. They didn't have bad aim, but Bra bet she could do better. Over to the right, two guys were sword-fighting. Annabeth started going in the other direction. " Over there is my cabin, Cabin Number Six ." Bra turned her head in the direction Annabeth was pointing to. A gray building stood in the distance. A carved owl was in the front of the open door. Bra could tell this was the more intelligent cabin, what with all the books and displays. " We have 12 Olympian Gods. Male cabins on the left , female to the right. The three big gods , Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades have some of the more empty cabins." Annabeth was about to say something else, but a girl with brown hair braided in pigtails, and a dagger strapped to her thigh came up to her. " Hey, Annabeth!" The girl said. " Hey Piper, feeling better?" " Good as new! Heh, anyway, Chiron's ordered a council meeting, so all senior campers have to meet in the conference room." The girl named Piper didn't really notice Bra, until Annabeth said " Come on, You can come too Bulla."
" Oh!, Who's that?" Piper said.
" I'll explain once we get there."
" Well, okay," Piper turned to Bra, " Hiya, I'm Piper, nice to meet you." " Likewise." Bra answered back, as they headed back to Big House.
As soon as they got there, Bra could see a small group of people gathering inside a room and sitting down. She assumed these people were the camp's counselors. Piper scrambled to sit next to two boys, who clearly were friends of hers. " Hey Jason, Leo, I found Annie!" " Don't. Call. Me. Annie" Annabeth snarled from next to Bra, " I swear, it's only been 2 days and she's already got a nickname for me" Annabeth whispered to Bra." Ok, ok, fine." Piper waved her hands in apology. As they sat down, Bra could see most of the kids in the room were starting to notice her, and were staring. She'd been through peer pressure before back home, being famous and all , but the Briefs were an isolated family. Bra began to squirm next to Annabeth, who put an arm on her shoulder in comfort. Just then, the Chiron guy came into the room, and wheeled next to the conference table.
The campers fell silent as Chiron cleared his throat.
" Okay, we have called this meeting today to discuss the events yesterday pertaining to the Quest, and the explosion." He glanced over at Bra. " Many of you may not have seen it, but after the explosion, we received an unexpected guest," He gestured to Bra, and she stood up. She decided she would act confident and not actually nervous.
" This is Bulla, we don't know how she got here, but we believe that the explosion may have had something to do with her appearance."
" Could it have anything to do with the Great Prophecy, and Jason, Leo, and I's arrival here?" Bra was surprised that it was Piper that had spoke.
" We don't know yet, but I think it'd be best if someone consults the Oracle first." Chiron answered.
" I think Bulla should do it", Annabeth piped up, " Perhaps she may be involved in this too." Chiron hesitated. After a moment of discussion in the room, he came to a decision.
" Very well then, Take her to the Oracle of Delphi."
