Chiron's POV

Grandchildren of the gods have never come to Camp Half-Blood. They are normally safe in the 'normal' world if they exist at all. But these children are different, because Sophia alone has encountered two monsters already. Poor girl.

Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, Theodore, Nico, Aura, Tommy, and Rachel all sat at the table with me. We had agreed to let Rachel stay; after all, she is deadly with a celestial bronze-edged boomerang.

Their children sat at the tables corresponding with their cabins. Hallie had Tyson to talk to, but Stella sat alone. Tanya noticed this, and went and sat with her. The campers who didn't know her parentage gaped as the new camper sat at the 'wrong' table.

I stomped my hoof on a table, and the campers turned their attention to me, "As you have noticed, we have some new campers. Their parentage is not like yours. They–," I said, but stopped when I saw peculiar symbols above each new child's head. Campers gasped.

Above Sophia and Hallie's head was an owl resting on top of a trident, the symbols of Poseidon and Athena together. Above Stella was lightning striking Hades's helmet of terror, the symbols of Zeus and Hades together. Above Tanya was lightning striking a lyre, the symbols of Zeus and Apollo combined.

Greg's was strange. It was Apollo's lyre being kit by a blue plastic hairbrush. Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Rachel laughed at the reference to Rachel and her aim, "I think Apollo was trying to make a joke about me hitting Kronos in the eye with a blue plastic hairbrush," Rachel commented.

I continued my speech, "They are grandchildren of the gods. Sophia and Hallie are Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase Jackson's daughters. Stella is Nico and Aura di Angelo's daughter. Tanya is Thalia and Theodore Fisher's daughter. Greg is Tommy Smith and Rachel Dare Smith's son." There were a few more gasps and a lot of whispers. Campers started pointing at the adults in question.

I saw the confused expressions of the new campers, so I addressed them, "Your parents are very important in this camp's history."

They gave their parents confused looks, so Percy spoke up, "We'll explain later." As the campers realized who he was, more whispers were exchanged.

Nymphs came forward with plates, and everyone (even the adults) went to throw food in the fire. I found it amusing that Rachel approached the fire and whispered, "The gods." The fire smelled amazing after that, like nothing I've never smelt. I guessed the gods appreciated Rachel's offer.

When the new campers came forward, they said both their grandparents' names out of respect. I was impressed. Greg only said, "Apollo," but that was because he only has one god grandparent.

As Greg sat down, I saw girls from the Aphrodite, Athena, Demeter, Hephaestus, and Hermes Cabins eye him flirtatiously. Greg didn't look at any of them twice. He kept glancing at Sophia though. I may be an old horse, but I'm not stupid. Greg likes Sophia. Sophia started eyeing Greg, so I assume that she likes him back. It's Percy and Annabeth all over again!

Sophia's POV

This camp is awesome! That little symbol above my head was a symbol of claiming, according to my cabin mates. They bombarded me with questions about Mom and Dad, and it became very annoying after a while.

"How awesome is it to have them as parents?"

"You must have had amazing training! What is it like to be trained by them?"

"Percy, your dad, saved the world! How many secrets of success did he share?"

"Stop!" I commanded. The table fell silent, "I didn't know I was a grandchild of the gods until Christmas. I don't have any training, I don't know how awesome they really are, and I don't know any secrets to success. But knowing my dad, he'd probably say something like 'keeping your friendships strong is key'."

"Do you even have a weapon?" a guy asked. He's younger than me, but he's my uncle. Weird.

I grinned and pulled Earthmover and the Yankees cap out of my pocket. I uncapped Earthmover, let them see it, and then I put on the Yankees cap. The sword turned invisible with me. I took off the cap, let them see Earthmover one last time, and recapped my sword, "Gifts from Poseidon and Athena."

"Cool!" a girl said. My aunt.

Some of the girls (I refuse to call them 'aunt') eyed Greg flirtatiously. I smirked as he didn't even look at them twice. Their loss is my gain. I followed suit, and the girls were irritated that he actually looked at me. I saw it in Greg's eyes that he was laughing at me.

"What's the deal with you and Greg?" a girl asked jealously.

I didn't want to make our relationship public, "We're like best friends."

"That's it?" the girl (I think her name was Sammie) asked, unsure.

"Yeah we met before we were even a year old," that was true.

"So you guys grew up together?" Sammie asked.

"No, he moved, but then moved back this year," I told her.

"But he's looking at you like he really likes you," Sammie pointed out, still unsure.

"Fine. I like him. He knows," I gave up.

"Are you an item?" another girl asked seriously.

"Not officially," I answered uncomfortably.

"What does that mean?" Sammie asked worriedly.

"We kind of are, but neither of us actually said so," I answered.

"Oh," Sammie said. That ended the conversation, and we talked about other stuff as we ate.
