CHAPTER FIVE

The not so boring classes!

When I woke up the next morning I did what Chiron said, walk over to the big house. It took a while but I at least saw most of camp and its campers; some were teens my age and some were younger. On my way there, I found Sky walking down the road which was very odd, her ankle had completely healed. She saw me and waved.

I could see she was about 15 years old, tall as 5.5, she had brown hair; was wearing brown shorts and an orange camp t-shirt, and some exercise shoes. And I bet you can see why I like her a bit.

''Hey Danny, thanks again for saving me back there'', she said kissing my cheek. I blushed and said, '' No problem…''

I looked down at her ankle and said, ''You heal very fast from a broken ankle''.

Sky replied ''Yeah eating some ambrosia heals us very fast and some of the Apollo kids have healing powers which make the healing process faster.''

I had no idea what she said but I was glad her ankle got better. She must have noticed that I had no idea what she had said.

She said, ''You still haven't gone to the big house to know everything there is to know about being a demigod?''

I said smiling, ''Nope, I'm totally lost''. She laughed and took my hand.

We started running again but this time it was fun being with her and watching camp. As we got close to this huge stone house with wooden planks, we saw Chiron outside talking to some camper as if discussing some sort of activity with a sketch. When we got close to them, he stopped discussing it and told the camper to go and do whatever it was on the sketch.

Chiron said smiling, ''Good morning to you both''.

We both said at the same time, ''Good morning''.

Chiron said smiling, ''Well I see you got yourself a personal tour guide to explore the campgrounds, shall we get to the instructing class so you can know all the answers to all your questions?''

I said, ''Yeah!''

We all walked in and sat in some chairs but Chiron can't sit since he has a horse end, so he just stood there. We sat looking at a huge plasma TV, I have no idea where they get the money for all of this, and the video started.

The video was about the 12 Olympian gods: Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hermes, Athena, Ares, Artemis, Apollo, Dionysius, Demeter, Hephaestus and Aphrodite, but there's Hades the god and ruler of the underworld that doesn't have a seat at Olympus and that he is not part of the 12 Olympian gods cause if he was in it, they would be 13 and not 12, it took me a while to understand it.

Pictures of monsters and minor gods appeared on screen, some gods where showing off their powers and their symbols. I wondered which was my father. I didn't wonder if my mother was one, because they told me she died when I was born.

When the video was over, Chiron started saying bored of the video, '' Well as you know the 12 gods, they have many children with humans and the children of these unions are called half-bloods since they are half human, half god but the other name given to these kids are Demigods.''

I said, ''So I'm a demigod?''

Chiron said, '' Yes, you are a demigod and we don't know who your real parent is and to get knowledge of whom your parent might be, we make these tests and the results will show us who it might be.''

I said un-exited, ''I see where this is going; I will be taking school on summer, so this is summer school for demigods.''

Chiron replied ''Not exactly. These test maybe different from school tests since it has some unique abilities you need to pass them and it's not a test you do sitting in a room, other than that they are tests.''

I said exited, ''Well, what are we waiting for?''

Both Chiron and Sky where looking at me smiling as if they wanted me to say that.

Then Carlos came walking through the door and asked smiling, ''Is the first test a running class with Carlos Windflaw?''

I looked at the door surprised to see him again.

Chiron said, ''Yes it is and Sky can you take him to where all the tests are going to be? I have some things to do before the Hephaestus cabin event.''

Sky answered laughing, ''Sure, I will be his girl… I mean bodyguard and take him to the tests areas''. Chiron understood the joke and he knew she will do it so he went away.

Carlos said, ''Well let's get going to my class''

We walked for a couple of minutes and found ourselves close to a forest with lots of girls in Greek pajamas or clothes and some campers stretching like it was some sort of race.

Carlos stood like a confident teacher and said, '' Ok Class, today the class will be running with the tree nymphs, first you have to be fast enough to get close to one and the other is getting her before she turns into a tree.'' he continued, ''Since there are newcomers here, I will make a demonstration with my friend Ashlyn.''

She was like 14 or 15, she was a bit white, had straight brown hair, looked intelligent, had a happy smile when Carlos was around and had captivating eyes on Carlos. But Carlos was way too busy to notice. And yes, I do notice some stuff even if I'm a boy.

Carlos said, ''Ok, ready?''

Ashlyn replied smiling, ''Come on, I bet I will beat you this time.''

With that Carlos blew the whistle around his neck and Ashlyn started running like the speed of a very fast car with 55 mph in just three seconds, but Carlos was way faster he was like a cheetah running 62 mph in just three seconds.

Carlos is close to catching Ashlyn by the waist, but it's hard catching someone when there are lots of trees around and you have to dodge some of the trees. Carlos is very, very close to get her, almost running like a lightning bolt, he caught her by the waist and instead of her falling down he jumped in front of her so she wouldn't fall against the ground, and Carlos took the fall for her.
