Me: NEWWW CHAPTER! Well, duh. JUST READ THE FRICKIN' STORY!

Disclaimer: Wait, wait. Huntress does not own anything except her OC.

Me: *Sigh*

As I sat in the dining hall, I barely nibbled at my mashed potatoes and gravy (A/N: My FAV food! Sorry...). Chiron trotted up to the podium.

"Children," he thundered (A/N: *THUNDER* Sorry, Zeus, I know that's your word, but just this time, please?) "We have a new camper that arrived just this morning. Aaron, please stand up." Aaron, who was sitting next to me at my table, stood up.

"This is Aaron Leon," Chiron continued, "but he has not yet received a sign of who his godly parent is."

"But we know it's a girl," added Aaron quickly. Suddenly, there was a gasp from across the hall. Kamaria, the tough Hephaestus girl, floated three feet off the ground and was surrounded in yellow fire. Kate and I ran over.

"Kamaria, are you okay? Kamaria!" I called, but she didn't seem to hear me. Her eyes were closed, and she had a calm expression on her face. She stayed motionless for a few seconds, then plopped down on the ground. Her eyes flew open.

"Hello," she said, smiling up at us, "What did I miss?"

"A sign," whispered Chiron, probably unwillingly into the microphone. He coughed and said, "Well, children, it's getting late. Oh, and will Kate, Elizabeth, Kamaria, and Aaron please stay after to talk to me?" The other campers reluctantly straggled out to their cabins until only the four of us remained. Chiron tiredly walked over to where we waited.

"Kamaria," Chiron instructed, "Tell us exactly what you felt, heard, and saw."

"Well," she began, "I was watching Aaron get introduced." She paused.

"Continue," prompted Chiron.

"Then I got this funny feeling like I was being watched. I looked around, and suddenly I was in the throne room, surrounded by the gods. My father, Hephaestus, motioned for me to come over by him. I walked over there and he said that I was needed to go on a special mission. I said, 'sure, I can do any old mission.' He smiled and gave me a hug. Then, I was back here." I looked at Aaron knowingly. He looked really sad. I shot him a questioning look and he mouthed 'later'.

"Well, Kamaria," he paused and looked at us, "Uh, you guys can go." We all nodded.

Kate bade us a good night and left for her cabin. Aaron stayed with me because he was not yet claimed.

"So," I said, "what was with the face back there?"

"Face?" he said unconvincingly, "There's no face. This is... my face." (A/N: If you know where that quote is from, I'll give you a cookie. No, sillies, a virtual cookie.)

"Ha," I said, "Yeah, right." He sighed, giving in.

"Like I told you before, Olive is like a sister to me. I just want to go on the quest to save her. I guess I was- just jealous, I guess." he told me. I smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know just what'll cheer you up," I said. "Race you to the cabin!" I darted off and heard him sigh behind me, but jog after me. Right after I tagged the cabin was I spun around and waited for him to catch up.

"One point for me!" I told him, grinning.

"Another point for you," he echoed, panting. Suddenly, there was a crashing sound in the bushes. A kid that looked about 2 years younger than me stumbled into the clearing. He had brown, buzz-cut hair and brown eyes. The only odd thing about him was that he was glowing.

"Hello?" he asked. "I'm Katapeisi." Suddenly, the glow stopped as if it had never been there.

"Hi, I'm Liz and this is Aaron. It looks like you're going on the quest, too." I told him.

Review!
