Hello!

Disclaimer (and I forgot to do this the last chapter so this counts for both): I am not Rick Riordan. And thus I do not own CHB, but technically I own Marcy and this next camper as they are OCs. :D

Lucas

Lucas was a kid from the second cohort. He wasn't born directly from a god, but both his mother and his grandfather were. His grandfather was the son of Discordia, and his mother was the daughter of Mercury. Marcy had already informed Camp Jupiter that everyone was placed into cabins according to their godly parent, so he should have known what to expect.

So no second or third generations. Huh, thought Lucas. He would have to choose; Discordia or Mercury. Lucas chose Mercury just because it was a more common god.

When Lucas arrived at camp, he quickly learned that Mercury was the god Hermes in Greek.

He met Marcy at the campfire that evening, where she was talking to another girl.

"She's Katie," Marcy explained when the girl left. "Another daughter of Ceres. Or Demeter. Or whatever. Now, listen." She lowered her voice and spoke in a hushed whisper. "People here are always talking about how demigods get claimed at thirteen. Since you already know your godly parent, you won't be claimed. So when they ask, say your parent is Hermes because your mom told you, or because you were claimed before coming to camp. It'll make your life a whole heck lot easier."

"Cool," Lucas whispered back.

"A few more quick tips; don't give anything to those two guys," Marcy added, pointing to two curly-haired brothers who were in the process of pick-pocketing some Athena kid. "They're in your cabin. They'll steal all you have. Next is to not stay out past curfew. Harpies will eat you. Third of all—"

"Greetings, everyone!" yelled a centaur up at the front.

"AAAHH!" yelled Lucas, jumping up on to his feet and sliding out his sword in one swift motion, prepared to fight the monster to the death.

"...That," finished Marcy. "Centaurs are apparently welcome in this camp. That's Chiron, the head of this place."

"So… not bad?" Lucas asked.

"Not bad," confirmed Marcy.

"Is there anything else about this place I should know?" Lucas asked as he sat back down properly, putting his sword away.

"Yeah. Those two-curly haired guys I mentioned before? They're trying to pick-pocket you."

Ha ha... Stolls.

Anyway, there's this new story I'm starting, but it's not a regular update thing like this one. It's more I update whenever I have time or want to kind of thing, so it won't interrupt this story. It's called The Lost Moments of HoO, and that's basically what it is. The lost moments of HoO.

Also, since this chapter was so short, I'll answer some reviews.

-o-O-o-

CimFan: Thank you! For a twelve-year-old, I try. And maybe I'll sneak in Percy and Annabeth in somewhere, though there are no promises.

CrazyChick: These next chapters are going to be CRAZY short so that's why I'm updating one a day for five days. Also, I agree with the idea that Jason would act a little different without his friends.

Gabsters: I agree that the Romans are okay. And now that you mention it, Connor probably could fight her and not decapitate himself.

TheColorsOfTheRainbow: That's great about your story! You actually inspired me to write my own version of a bullying story but also a fanfiction. (The one I wanted to start posting but was voted off to wait.)

Guest: :D

BookFreak: I leave you off with a cliffhanger because I am evil. Nico knows about the Romans but doesn't know they are attacking and thus is not freaking out. Hazel exists. And I make you wait because I am a good author, and a nice cliffhanger will make people begging for more!

Daizels: As long as you're reviewing now! :P Also, MAYBE there MAY be a liper scene at the end, I don't know, and even if I did I wouldn't tell...

EpicMusic: Wow... you actually got most of the prophecy right.

elliefs: I know... that's why I made Poseidon Spongebob! *smiles, and home is suddenly flooded with random seawater*

-o-O-o-

Anyway, please review and whatnot. It's appreciated.
