This chapter takes place the morning after the last chapter.
The 12 year old boy awoke on the forest floor. He sat up. His blonde hair had a lot of dirt in it, but, there was dirt all over him, so it really didn't matter that much. There was a long cut on his left arm, and it ached when he tried to move it. He had been attacked by laistrygonians the night before.
Luke started walking, he knew there was a town nearby, and he wanted to get to it soon so he could pickpocket people there. He had run out of money a week ago, and he ran out of food the night before. It had only been two months since he had run away from home, and he was already tired, muddy, starving, broke (not that he had ever had much cash to begin with,) and lost. He had no clue where he was or where he was going. All he knew was that he needed money, food, and weapons for battling monsters( all he had was a bronze knife from his mom's kitchen).
His mother had told him everything, about mythology, about monsters, and about his dad, Hermes. The one thing she didn't tell him about was camp half-blood. His mom had known that it would put him in more danger once he knew what he was. She hadn't cared. She hated him, That's why he left.
He was able to find a road, and started to follow it, not even noticing the fact that it was his father who had been helping him survive. He was able to steal things easily, Luke had never been caught stealing. Traveling through the woods came naturally to him, Luke could always find a road easily.
But no, Luke didn't realize that he had the blessing of Hermes.
My dad hates me too, just like my mom does. He thought. If he cared about me, he would help me find food, shelter, money, weapons, friends. Friends were what Luke needed the most. He had never really had a friend, things would be a little easier, having friends would give Luke a better chance of survival.
Little did he know that the best friend that he would ever meet was waiting for him just around the corner, literally.
