Falling… falling… we were falling. That's all I knew. I assumed Violet was screaming and Clio was yelling profanities at her, but I didn't hear. Everything went silent as I watched the chariot grow nearer and nearer to the ground. The chariot got so close to the ground that it gave me the opportunity to glide my fingers across the grass blades. The unicorns must have pushed off with newfound energy; we were rising back up as quickly as we fell. After a few short moments, the unicorns landed gracefully in front of a sort of archway.
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood," Clio said with a small hint of pride in her voice. I looked through the borders to see people chasing one another with swords and firing arrows, among many other things. I slowly walked into the borders, taking in everything I saw. Violet followed me in amazement. Clio walked the other way. Looking at a big blue house, I assumed that this was where we needed to go. My hand slowly rose to knock on the door before pushing it open. Commotion was heard coming from the other side, so Violet and I slowly walked in. We followed the noise of the commotion to find a man with hair so purple it looked black with violet colored eyes wearing leopard print pants and a floral tee. Beside him was a man… at least from waist-up anyway. From waist-down, he was a bright white horse.
"I need to sit down," Violet muttered. She went behind me to sit down, but I'm assuming she missed the chair, as a loud 'thump' reverberated around the room. The purple one and the horse-man turned to look at us in confusion.
"Uhm, hi…," Violet awkwardly said. I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing! She made an 'hmph' sound at me as she got up. The man in the leopard print looked at us in boredom, until he took in Violet's features. His eyes widened, but he hurriedly hid his shock.
"I'm Chiron, and this is Dionysus," the horse-man said. Dionysus just slunk back in his chair when his name was mentioned.
"Great… more brats to babysit," he muttered under his breath. I stole an annoyed glance at him as Chiron started explaining the basis of the camp.
"The camp is for…special people, as your parents may have told you-" Chiron was cut off.
"We have no parents," Violet said, quite harshly. I elbowed her in the ribs and she glared at me.
"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss, but you do have one parent out there, a Greek god or goddess. The camp is for children of half mortal, half god, such as yourselves."
"Impossible! Sorry to say, but the gods and goddesses do not exist!" I said in an outburst. The flashback of my dream flittered in my mind. Bring their downfall… bring the downfall of the gods! I gasped as it sank in… they were…real! The Greek gods actually existed!
"Yes, the gods exist, child. As I was saying, the camp is for half-bloods, or demigods. Matter of fact, a god is sitting here with us." He then went on to explain the rest.
Violet sat there, disbelieving, while I sat there in shock. I thought they were only myths, as did everyone else that walked through these doors.
Violet then stammered, "So… are you the actual Chiron? From the myths?"
"Yes, child, I am. Now, I'll get Annabeth to show you the basis of the camp. At his request, a beautiful curly-haired blonde walked into the room, ready to show us everything the camp had to offer. She brought us around the archery class, sword fighting arena, lava-rock climbing wall, and the cabins, along with the dining pavilion and the edge of the woods. I stood there and stared, still halfway believing that this was only a dream and I was soon to wake up.
Yeah, I know it's pretty short and I haven't uploaded in forever, but I try! I just recently got microsoft word on my home laptop... :D! Here's my extremely short chapter!
