After he was claimed things became a blur as he and Rita were bombarded by questions from the whole camp even Charon and Mr.D had questions. But Lincoln was preoccupied with the sudden pain in his leg. He tried to ignore it for now. After what felt like hours of questions, Charon finally called dinner to an end and gave a warning that curfew was in 2 hours.
Rita then said goodbye to her sons and headed back to New york. After that Lincoln and percy headed towards the Apollo cabin looking for one of the few campers Lincoln had met.
"So the son of Artemis that makes us cousins," Will said, seeing Lincoln approach.
"Ya I guess it does hay can I ask you a question my leg it's hurting real bad all the sudden is that normal," he asked
"Well maybe let me take a look," the blond said, lifting Lincoln's leg.
"Hu when did this start," Will asked.
"When I got claimed,"
"Oh that makes sense one sec, HAY CAN SOMEONE PASS ME THE CAST SAW," Will called to his cabin and someone threw the saw to him from a window.
"So often, when a god claimed one of their kids the, bless the kid Aphrodite kids get a makeover Aries kids get a physical boost and Apollo kids just can't miss a shot since there has never been a child of Artemis we didn't know what they would get till now," will explain as he cut off the cast.
When the cast fell off they saw that lincoln's leg was stitching itself badly together and after a minute it was back to normal.
" My guess is since you're the one and only she tailored the browsing to your situation giving you the ability to heal quickly it should last a few days when I was claimed the browsing lasted 5 days," Will explained.
"Wow thanks, Will," Lincoln said standing up.
After that Lincoln and Percy return the chair to Charon.
From there, the 2 brothers headed to the showers and got ready for bed.
That night lincoln had trouble falling asleep not that the Artemis wasn't comfortable he had taken the bunk closest to the bathroom and the bed was easily the warmest bed he ever felt the blanket and pillows were both made from real fur. The reason he couldn't sleep was that it was so quiet and alone, not knowing what better to do he started to talk to himself. About how wired the past few days were and how his sisters would react eventually he came to the subject of Artemis.
Was she his mother or father like how Apollo was His grandmother?
"I'd prefer the title of aunt or uncle from you lincoln Grandmother make some sound so… Old," came a voice from the bunk above him.
Lincoln fell out of the bed as he grabbed his necklace and pointed it at the bunk whare a blond in his mid-20s lounged.
The man was perfectly tan and well built in a pair of jeans and a tank top.
"So I assume you're Apollo," Lincoln asked still gripping his necklace.
"Yes it is I and you're lincoln loud my nephew," he said smiling.
"It's an honour," Lincoln said, calming down and saying what he assumed the god enjoyed hearing.
"I'm sure now down to the brass tax why I'm here you are going to die," the sun god said with a bright smile.

To say Lincoln didn't sleep well was an understatement. What the god had said to him was still rattling around in his head. He tried not to phocas on it as he ate his oatmeal alone.
Eventually, he ended up at the archery range with the Apollo kids and his brother still not focusing till eventually an arrow flee threw the air towards him and he subconsciously reached out and caught it this shocked himself and those around him.
"Oh, my god lincoln im so sorry I don't know how that happened," Percy said running up to his brother.
"It's fine bro no harm no foul," Lincoln said, still shocked by the arrow in his hand.
"Impressive it takes many years for most to learn to catch an arrow," came the voice of another member of the Apollo cabin he looked quite a bit like his father but much younger and less muscular.
"Um thanks, sorry I don't think I know your name," Lincoln responded.
"Lee Fletcher, councillor for the Apollo cabin so you have any experience with a bow and arrow," he asked.
"Not really unless you count video games," Lincoln answered.
"Well you can't do worse than your brother so give it a try," Lee said, handing Lincoln a bow and quiver.
Lincoln drew the first arrow but stopped something fell off he eased off the bow and reached back in the quiver taking as many arrows as he could fit in his hand then taking the quicker off he levels the bow again pulled back and let it fly. Bullseye but he didn't stop there he drew another arrow before the first even landed and launched again right behind the last and repeated this 5 times each one landing in the bullseye he hadn't split the arrows but each landed within a hair of the last. (1)
"Amazing wonder if that's the blessing or skill and I haven't seen that stance or style before mind if I," he asked, drawing his bow and copying Lincoln's stance he let lose another 5 arrows each hitting we're Lincoln's first arrow and landed splitting them clean.
For the next few hours, Lincoln and Lee worked on their archery together, finally taking Lincoln's mind to the words of Apollo from the night before.
Eventually Lincoln met back up with Percy and Grover at the dining pavilion.
"Hey what's up," Lincoln asked.
"Finally found something I'm good at, any god of cooking," percy asked as he helped the spirits prepare lunch.
"Uh Hestia I think but she's a virgin goddess, but I think that's more because of all the time you spent with dad in the kitchen at home," Lincoln answers.
"Ya probably… also isn't Artemis a virgin goddess," Percy pointed out.
" Yes she is and so is Athena but I'm still here," came a voice from a blond girl the same age as Lincoln and percy.
"Oh Hi Annabeth good to see you again this is my brother Lincoln," Percy said.
"Nice to meet you," Lincoln added.
The 4 of them began to chat mainly Annabeth and lincoln explaining Greek myths to percy but slowly lincoln faded from the conversation seeing a spark between the 2.

1 this is an archery style that according to my friend keyra who is a self-proclaimed archer is better for combat and hunting than using a quiver since running around with a quiver just spills out the arrows
Also finally got Annabeth in this she's one of my favourites from the books and that's saying a lot since there are so many good ones
