Evelyn
I groaned and rolled over. Then my head made contact with the hard, dirty, ground.
"Nice way to wake up" Clover commented dryly.
"Thanks" I glared at her. Awkward silence settled down between us.
"Are you okay" She asked finally.
"Now you are concerned" I muttered.
Clover's mouth twisted up into a strange half-smile.
"You know" She began. "Satyrs can sense emotions so I know you're not angry, you're sulking" Clover smirked.
I blushed "No way!"
"So...where are we going" I asked.
"To camp" Clover replied.
"Camp?" I repeated.
"Camp Half-Blood the only safe haven for you and me. It's where your kind train to fight and survive" Clover informed me.
"My kind?"
"Demigods, the children of the gods and goddesses." She answered.
"So the Greek gods are real." My question turned out to be a statement.
"You believe me?" Clover blinked.
"Yes, don't others" I questioned.
"No!" Clover snorted "Most of them just stared at me like I'm crazy, well, they do before they got proof when the monsters attacked."
"Why do you believe me, Evelyn?" She asked quietly.
"Because if I am a child of the gods then my life makes much more sense." I answered.
"Sense?"
"I had always wondered why my parents abandoned me, now it make sense, one of them didn't!" I replied.
"Yeah, me too. I wonder why your mortal parent abandoned you? You're like the perfect child any parents could have wished for." Clover smiled wistfully at my flawless, smooth skin, black and silky hair, and stormy gray eyes.
"Really?" I murmured, flattered.
"Yeah, you have flawless, perfect, shiny skin- which I doubt you put makeup or moisturizers on-, black and shiny hair, those gray eyes, the way you move so gracefully-like a ballerina, and your brains. You are so smart, maybe smarter than Annabeth" Clover explained.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, but it's the truth, you know." Clover smiled graciously.
I nodded.
"Who do you suppose my godly parent is?" I asked, suddenly.
"If your mortal parent is a man, it can be Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war or you could be the daughter of Aphrodite, goddess of love with your beauty. If your mortal parent if a woman, it can be Poseidon, the god of the sea or Hermes the god of theives- a seriously talented child of Hermes." Clover ticked off her list.
Thunder boomed.
"Sorry, Lord Hermes, I didn't mean to offend you, your children is very talented, I mean." Clover yelped.
I smirked.
Clover glared.
"Let's clean up and go then" She muttered.
I picked up the wrapperes, burned them in the fire, and then dispersed the pine needle pile.
Clover packed the knapsack and heaved it onto her shoulder, then she tossed me a trangular shaped thing wrapped in cloth.
Curious, I unwrapped it.
It was a dagger. The sheathe was made out of gray metal and green gems made out the word-ελεοσ-Eleos-which mean Mercy in Greek.
Wait! I can read Greek? Hm...
I unsheathe the dagger and the blade was made out of bronze and it was so shiny that I studied my reflection in it's blade. The golden blade casted a ghostly shadow on my face.
"It seems to be made for you" Clover nodded, approvingly.
"Here's another one" She tossed me a longer weapon this time.
I unwrapped it again.
It was a sword. It's sheathe was sea-green and inscribed on it with silver script was επιδα φερνει-Epida Fernei the Greek word for Hope Bringer.
"Unsheahthe it" Clover encouraged.
I slowly slid the sword out of its sheather and marveled at it's shiny silvery blade. Then I turned the blade to it's side and it was bronze like Mercy!
"Why is one side bronze and one silver?" I questioned.
"Oh, the silver is for killing werewolves and stuff that can't be killed be regular celestial bronze-that's used for killing most monsters" Clover explained.
"Oh."
Clover burst out laughing "You sound sooo much like Percy."
"Is that suppose to be a compliment?" I narrowed my eyes.
"Probably not, but which one do you want or do you want this one" Clover handed me a curving wrapped package like the previous two.
I unwrapped it again.
It was a elegant silver bow. It shined like a cresent moon at night. Black mist seem to swirl around it and the bow seem to absorbs the shadow. There was no quiver. Inscribed on the bow was-ασιμενιο φενγαρι. I stared blankly at the bow, for some reason I can't translate it from Greek to English.
"It's called Silver Moon, since it's the only bow that's fit enough for your powerful aura, I picked it up from the Artemis Cabin Weapon and Armory, she didn't mind though" Clover explained.
"Silver Moon" I murmured, running my hand down it's side.
"Where's the arrows?" I asked, confused.
"Okay, don't aim at me but just pull at the string." Clover instructed.
Staring at her, I pulled and an silver arrow with swan feathers embedded itself into the tree.
"Um...and Evelyn, you can't controll what color it shoots but if you have golden arrows instead of silver when you're fighting werewolves, try using a celestial bronze sword or dagger." Clover gulped.
I nodded, distracted.
"Here" Clover tossed me a gray chain.
"What's this for?" I asked, studying the chain. It was gray but gold swirl around the delicate chain.
"Putting your weapons in" Clover shrugged.
"Putting my weapons in this...chain?" I stammered.
"Why yes, like this" Clover picked up Eleos and slammed it into the bracelet I was holding.
I flinched, waiting for pain. But it didn't come, when I glanced down confused, I saw a charm on the bracelet. It was a gray owl with piercing brown eyes.
"Um...did...did Mercy just turned into that?"
"Why yes." Clover beamed.
"But...but...HOW?" I stared at the charm, fingering it.
"Magic, like Percy's sword from his father, Poseidon, I mentioned that didn't I?" Clover was smug from my astonishment.
"Magic, I thought that..." My sentence was cut off by Clover.
"The gods suddenly take a liking to you and sent you gifts. The dagger was from Athena, given to me by Annabeth and the sword from Poseidon, delivered by Percy" Clover interrupted.
I was suddenly very flattered. Why would the gods pay attention to me? Evelyn Jackson, the unnoticed one?
"We better get going before the monsters catch up on us" Clover interrupted my chain of thoughts.
I nodded absently and started jogging after her.
