Hi again. Just as a forewarning, I will not be posting a new chapter on June 10th. Enjoy the chapter!

Max POV

Right after Gazzy was claimed, I was starting to feel like it would take forever for my parent to claim me. Heck, maybe they wouldn't claim me at all. After all, I am a mutant freak that could never fit in anywhere.

Fang took my hand and, as though he could read my mind, whispered, "They're all going to a campfire. Some say people get claimed a lot there."

I nodded and hefted Angel into my arms, but was surprised into nearly dropping her when a holographic owl symbol appeared and hovered over her head.

Just behind us, Chiron shouted, "Hail, Angel! Daughter of Athena!"

"How does he do that?" Iggy muttered from behind me as I let Angel down to go to her cabinmates. That only left three of us then.

I sighed inwardly and followed the Hermes cabin to their seats around the oddly-coloured bonfire. When I say oddly, I mean it was blue, grey, and pink all at once. I described it to Iggy.

"It's because of the moods of the cabins who have gained a camper today," Annabeth explained, coming up behind us.

Up front, Chiron started announcements. "Today we gained six new campers! Would you all please welcome Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel?" We each stood up in turn and acknowledged the polite applause.

"Moving on," Chiron continued as we settled down, "this Friday the Hunters of Artemis will be joining our capture the flag game. {insert collective groan here} Now, I know our relationship with these girls has been spotty at best-"

"Or nonexistent at worst!" shouted out a daughter of Ares.

Chiron chastised her and continued. "-but this time the Hunters will be split between the blue team and the red team instead of being-"

Chiron was interrupted again as attention turned to our section of the stands. I gave a quick glance over my head to see if I had been claimed, but once again, disappointment. Over Iggy's head, however, was a blue glowing trident. Hush settled over the gathered.

"A child of the Big Three," Chiron nearly whispered. "Hail Iggy! Son of Poseidon!"

After singing from the Apollo cabin, Fang and I left with the Hermes kids while Percy took his newfound half-brother back to the Poseidon cabin.

That night, I lay awake, thinking. This Flock was being separated, and I wasn't sure how much I like that. All our lives it's been me and Fang, my right hand man, leading and taking care of the Flock. Now, even he and I might be torn apart. I have always had them for a family, but now they were forming to a new family. This was going to be hard for me.

Sorry it was so short. I would like to know if you guys wanted to have matchups for this story. If you do, tell me and suggest what they should be. Please review, thanks!
