If they thought the war is over, and nothing would happen so soon in their short demigod lives... They have never been so dead wrong.
Percy looks at Cacy as she runs into the woods. Annabeth's mouth is still hanging open. The Hermes cabin all stare in shock. For once in their life, Travis and Connor have nothing to say. Clarisse just sits there, her eyes wide open. Nico has a serious look on his face. Rachel seems confused, since she doesn't quite understand what has just happened.
***two minutes ago***
Percy and Annabeth came up from the lake, after their perfect kiss, completly dry, smiling wildly, holding hands and blushing heavily. The other campers cheered as their appearance. Thay headed to the camp fire to attend the sing along.
At the sing along, Cacy smiled boardly and sang with all her heart, which is actually pretty good. Percy had made the gods and goddess to promise that they will claim their children. Maybe her godly parent was about to claim her! She was so excited that for a moment, she forgot her curse and her broken heart. Apollo was cool. Or Hermes, since that cabin is actually her home since forever. But on top of it, she was about to have a new family, a new life! She will actually have brothers and sisters!
The first one who was claimed was Chris Rodriguez. He is a son of Hermes. She heard her mumbling something like I have been in your house for years, dad. Why so hard just to sent a sign? But his eyes shone with happiness. Afterall, he has found his family.
Jack and Kayla, the children who had helped Cacy when she was wounded, are son of Hecate and daughter of Tyche (goddess of lucky).
Children were claimed, many of the symbols appeared on their head. A new Aphrodite boy. A boy and a girl of Demeter. Two Apollo boys. An Ares boy. A Hephaetus twin. An Athena girl. There are some children of the minor gods and goddesses, like Hebe (goddess of youth), Tyche, Iris, Hypnos, Nike, Hecate and Nemesis. Wow. Tonight the Hermes cabin must be so empty.
Soon there was only her left. Well, she was used to this. She was always left out. Some where in the back of her mind, Cacy wondered would her parent break his or her oath just to not to claim her.
When it was almost the time for them to go to sleep, she close her eyes and silently praying her mom or dad would claim her. When she heard other gasped, she opened her eyes.
There was something strange. Tonight, when people were claimed, other campers would clap and cheer. Now they all looked above her head, which a prove that she had just been claimed. But why do they look so... Shock? And scared? And even Chiron looked confused. Percy and Annabeth's faces were as white as paper.
Then something hit her. She had just been claimed! She looked up in excitement, just to ended up in a total confuse.
What was the sea green symbol that floating above her head? It looks familiar, but it's nothing like the symbols she saw tonight. It looks like a trident, but what does that even mean?
Then her confuse quickly turn into horrify when Chiron and other campers get down on their knees, and Chiron said:
"All hail Cacy, daughter of Poseidon, god of the sea."
