Okay, I'm going to say this now. Those who put down their votes in the reviews will NOT count in the poll. You have to go to the poll and vote, not leave them in the reviews because I'm not counting them. There's a reason I put up a poll in the first place, so take the votes there, not the reviews.

Chiron and Damian neared the giant outdoor dining pavilion which they could both see and hear was already filled with all the campers. Damian could hear people talking, laughing, burping, and even a few playful arguments.
"So, Grover mentioned I would be sleeping in the Hermes cabin until I'm claimed." Damian said, striking up conversation.
"That is correct." Chiron nodded. "It's where all the unclaimed demigods go since Lord Hermes is happy to look after them until they are claimed, which has made him a favourite and well respected member amongst the Olympians."
"But the gods don't always claim their children, do they?" Damian asked knowingly. Katie's words had made him think on this. How many children have been at this camp and haven't been claimed yet
Chiron sighed sadly. "No. There are a few of the Olympians who instantly claim their children upon entering the camp. Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Demeter and Hermes. For others, it could take a few days, weeks, months... even years. Unfortunately, some are never claimed and just... forgotten about by their Godly parent."
Damian frowned at this. "Then what's the point of having kids if they aren't even going to bother claiming them as their own?
"Well, that is a question I think many want answered but in my experience its best not to ask. The gods can be very temperamental when they want to be." Chiron said, giving a brief glance to the sky.
Damian scoffed. "Well, temper or not, someone should demand why."
"Be cautious of your words, Damian." Chiron warned. "It is unwise to demand anything of the gods."
"You'll find I'm the type to not really give a damn if I offend the gods." Damian said, earning a rumble of thunder in the sky. "Sounds like someone heard me. There's something else, why does Lady Hera have an honorary cabin but Lady Hestia doesn't? She is the firstborn and eldest daughter of Kronos and Rhea, is she not? Plus, she's the Goddess of Family and a well respected and likeable goddess."
Chiron sighs. "That's a story in itself, young one. Lady Hestia was once a member of the Olympian Council, but when Dionysus came about and ascended to godhood it caused chaos amongst the gods. To prevent any conflict or war, Hestia willingly gave up her seat to him and over time people have just... forgotten about her, even some of her own family."
Damian frowned at this, feeling a surge of anger in him at Chiron's words. He didn't know where it came from, but Hestia was one of his favourite goddesses from Greek Mythology. She seemed like a woman who would just have this warm presence around her, to make one feel welcoming and loved.
They arrived at the dining first thing Damian noticed when he walked in was how many campers there were. There must have been around two hundred, all varying from different ages. They all sat at specific stone picnic tables. One was massive with a huge number of people, which was going to cause an overflow problem from what Damian could see. No doubt that was the Hermes table.
Another made Damian blush when he saw that all the people sitting at the table were incredibly pretty. They all had perfect skins and all wore make up, some more than others. The girls were the definition of girly girls, even the boys.
At another table he saw Annabeth sitting with a group that all had similar features to her. The blonde hair and the tanned skin with grey eyes. She spotted him looking over and gave him a small wave which he returned.
But then he noticed there was about four tables that were completely unoccupied, which to Damian looked like a complete waste. He had a feeling this was like the cabins. Every child of a certain god or goddess goes to a specific table. The overcrowded one had to be the Hermes table and guessed many of them there were kids who had not been claimed yet.
He then looked around to see if he could find the raven haired girl but with all the people in the room and not exactly recognising the face properly since his vision was a little blurry, he struggled to find her.
When they walked in the commotion all seemed to stop and they all looked over towards him and began to whisper.
"Hey that's him. One of the two that be the- you know."
"I wonder if he is a good fighter. He must be if what we heard was right, right?"
"Hubba, hubba. He's so handsome! He better not be a child of Aphrodite."
"Hot Damn!"
Damian blushed at those last two comments since he was not exactly used to those kinds of comments being made to him. Oh, he could just see his dad laughing and teasing him right now... then Damian would stab him with Rebellion for it.
"Luke, could you come over here for a second?" Chiron called out which made one of the boys from the cramped table walk over. The boy was a lot older than everyone else Damian had seen so far, around nineteen at most. He had sandy blonde hair with light blue eyes with very elfish like features and a pointy face. But the most notable feature was a long white scar that went down his right cheek.
"Luke, this is Damian Redgrave, one of the new campers who arrived last night. I'll leave him with you." Chiron said before he trotted over to where Mr. D was sitting.
"Well it's nice to meet you, Damian. I'm Luke, son of Hermes and the head of the Hermes cabin."
"It's nice to meet you." Damian said, shaking Luke's hand.
"Come on." Luke said before he led Damian over to the Hermes table. "Make room guys." He said causing the table to shift a little as Damian took a seat next to Luke.
"Well, welcome to Camp Half-Blood. We have to admit, we are all quite impressed by your actions with the other boy last night. Defeating the bull man is quite the achievement, especially from those who have not had any training." Luke said, impressed.
"Oh, I know how to handle myself in a fight, trust me." Damian chuckled. "Dad trained me to use a sword and guns for... family business."
"What kind?" Luke asked curiously.
Damian was about to speak but everything went silent when Mr. D stood up, rather reluctantly if the face he was giving was any indication. He cracked his knuckles before he stood in front of everyone.
"Alright brats, listen up because I will only say this once." He said in a bored tone. "As you all know we had two new arrivals last night. One is with us tonight while the other is still unconscious and is healing. I'm sure you have all been wondering whether the rumour about them defeating the Minotaur was true. Well, I'm here to clarify that it is indeed true."
That caused many to begin whispering before Mr. D gave them a look that quickly shut them all up. He clicked his finger and the shoebox containing Damian's Minotaur horn appeared in front of him. Damian opened it up and many gasped a little when they saw the horn, knowing now full well that it was true. Many on the Hermes table marveled at it while Damian could see that the big, mean looking kids looked jealous.
"Don't worry." Luke whispered to him. "That's just the Ares table. They're probably just mad that they didn't get a chance to fight it." He said. getting a nod from Damian before Mr D began speaking again.
"The one who joined us tonight is Damian Redgrave." He said which caused many to whisper. The whispers were a little odd since they were saying whether it was his real name or if Mr. D was just messing with names again like he always was. It was quickly cleared up when Luke stood up and told them it was his actual name.
Damian asked what that was about but Luke just waved it off.
"Anyway Mr. Redgrave is not like normal demigods and is quite a bit different from all of you." He said causing them all to glance at him with curiosity.
"By different I mean he and his family are demon hunters, and yes... demons exist." Mr. D said, causing more whispers to break out and looks to be sent to Damian. The son of Dante knew he was going to be getting a headache in the next few days. He couldn't help but notice Annabeth looking like Christmas had come early for her.
"D-Damian, is that true?" Luke asked voicing the question everyone wanted answered. Damian just nodded his head confirming everything Mr. D just said was true.
"Why'd you think I said I had training for a family business?" He asked, amused. "Me, my dad and my adoptive aunts are demon hunters."
When explanations were done, he was immediately swarmed by the other campers all wanting to ask him questions about his family business, some asked about his weapons, if he can bring a demon into camp and show it off to them... and he was certain some asked if he had a girlfriend.
Luckily for him, Chiron quickly called everything back to order and everyone returned to their seats. "Well now that the introduction is done we can all eat." Chiron then stamped his hooves and shouted out. "TO THE GODS!"
"TO THE GODS!" Everyone shouted, including Damian who looked amused, before everyone began to fill their plates.
Wood nymphs then came out with more platters of food which was filled with grapes, apples, strawberries, cheese, fresh bread, a whole variety of food.
Damian looked it over and had to admit the food all looked amazing. But there was just something missing.
"I could do with a cheese pizza." He said glumly. However, a passing Wood Nympth heard him and snapped her fingers. A second later, a 12' cheese pizza appeared before the son of Dante's eyes, causing him to nearly drool before he inhaled the heat coming off it. He almost wanted to hug and kiss the Nymph, but he settled for thanking her which she appreciated before continuing her rounds.
Damian rubbed his hands together and was about to pick up a slice of pizza when Luke stopped him as he got up.
"Before we start eating, we take a portion of our food and scrape it into the pot over the fire as an offering to the gods. They love the smell of burnt food so we offer them a small bit of each of ours." Luke explained.
Damian narrowed his eyes. "You want me to toss a slice of delicious, cheese pizza into the fire just because they love smelling it? Weird but, they're gods. Weirdness is common with them."
He waited patiently as everyone scraped a portion of their food into the pot, made a small prayer before going back to their seat. Luke, who was just in front of him had finished his offering by sliding some apple pieces into the pot before Damian stepped up for his turn.
"Well I have never done something like this before so here it goes. If you can hear me, mom, then this offering is for you. If you're anything like me then you will like the smell of pizza. Enjoy." He said as he lightly tossed the slice of pizza into the fire.
He turned around and was about to leave before he remembered something both Chiron and Grover said. So he quickly scooped a little bit more into the pot before whispering. "This is for you too, Lady Hestia. Just to show that you're not forgotten."
The fire underneath the pot suddenly got higher and flickered brightly as if it was saying thank you. He walked back over to the table and sat back next to Luke before he dug into his meal.
For the next hour he spoke and idly chatted with Luke about the camp and joked around with two of Luke's brothers the twins Travis and Connor Stoll. Both boys had taken a liking to Damian when he told them he was a bit of a prankster, as he had a habit of pranking his dad and aunts when he was a lot younger. Like the time when his dad was in the shower, Damian swiped his clothes and spare towels before hiding them all over the place.
Poor Dante had to run around with only a pillow to cover himself while searching for something to dry himself off with, then get his clothes. It didn't help that Trish and Lady came back from a job during this and were mortified... well, Lady was, but Trish burst out laughing since she had been the one to suggest the idea to Damian.
Eventually dinner ended and everyone made their way down to the amphitheatre where the children of Apollo were singing an acapella version of a variety of songs.
Damian looked around and saw everyone laughing and smiling with marshmallows on the end of a stick in front of a large fire while others were joking around or telling each other stories. It was only the first day and already Damian was beginning to feel at home here, but nothing beats Devil May Cry.
This camp has basically become his home away from home.
He sensed a presence sit next to him and looked over to see Annabeth sitting next to him with stars in her eyes and a small notebook and pencil in her hand.
"You want to know about my family's history right?" Damian asked with an amused smile.
Annabeth nodded her head vigorously, which made him chuckle.
"Alright then," Daniel said as he began to explain to Annabeth the concept of demon slayers and why they exist. Demons started terrorizing Earth for many years and so demon slayers were needed to defeat them.
He then went on to describe his family history, which caused Annabeth to start writing and jotting things down like crazy. He started by explaining that a long, long time ago, around 2,000 years ago, a demon by the name of Sparda woke up to justice and turned against his demon brethren for the sake of mankind. He drove the legions of demons back to their world, and sealed off the entrance to the demon world with his demonic power and the blood of a mortal priestess. However, some demons manage to slip through cracks here and there, and with Sparda dead there was seemingly nobody to defend humanity from the demons.
However, Sparda met a woman and fell in love, siring two sons named Dante and Vergil. Annabeth's eyes had widened when she realized Damian was Sparda's grandson, then she inquired about his father and uncle.
Growing up, Dante had despised his demonic side while Vergil found his human side weak. AFter an attack on their home by demons, which resulted in the death of Eva, Dante had been left alone, believing Vergil was dead too. However, many years later, the twin brothers would reunite... but it wouldn't be a happy family reunion as the brothers would engage in a fierce rivalry with each other. Vergil had grown up, became cold and indifferent, finding humanity weak and desired power so he could become as strong if not stronger than Sparda himself.
"After Vergil died, the only demon hunters left are me, my dad and my two adoptive aunts, Lady and Trish." Damian said, finishing explanations.
"Wait, even women can become demon hunters?" Annabeth asked in surprise.
"Of course, any help is needed." Damian said.
"This is incredible," Annabeth muttered as she was scribbling away on her notepad.
"I take it you like to learn," Damian said which got Annabeth rapidly nodding her head.
"I love it. As a child of Athena I'm pretty much expected to love to learn. Reading especially."
"Athena? As in the goddess of wisdom and battle." He said getting a nod from Annabeth. "That's great."
"Thanks. You never know she could be your Olympian parents too since your unclaimed."
"I think I look too different from you in genetics. But if she is, then I guess that would make me your brother." He said, causing Annabeth to smile brightly. Before the two could continue their conversation, Chiron's voice sounded out through the amphitheatre telling everyone it was time to head back to their cabins.
As everyone got up, Damian was about to join before a thought quickly appeared in his head. He tapped Annabeth's shoulder getting her attention.
"Annabeth, you were the one who found Grover, Percy and I with Chiron last night right?" He asked, getting a nod from the girl. "Could you tell me who the other girl was?"
"Oh sure, the other girl was Silena Beauregard. She's a daughter of Aphrodite and the one that helped you back to camp while I helped your friend, Percy. She urm... ahh! She is just over there." She said pointing over towards a group of girls that were just leaving the amphitheatre. They were all stunningly beautiful but Annabeth pointed to the one in the middle of the group.
Damian felt his breath hitch slightly when he saw her. She was by far the most stunning of the group and must have been the same age as him. Her raven black hair blended in with the night sky perfectly while her dazzling blue eyes seemed to sparkle in the night. Her skin was slightly tanned but a little lighter then Annabeth's tanned skin. All in all, Damian couldn't take his eyes away from her.
Said girl then looked over and spotted him looking in her direction which caused a hint of pink to appear on her face before she gave a small wave to him.
Damian waved back, which caused the girls all around Silena to notice and begin to giggle at the little action before the group all left the amphitheatre.
"Come on, Romeo." He heard someone say as two pairs of arms appeared on his shoulders which belonged to Connor and Travis. "Let's head back. We don't want to be out here when those harpies are around." They said as they began leading him out with the others from the Hermes cabin.
He waved good bye to Annabeth before he set off. It only took a few minutes before he found himself standing outside the Hermes Cabin.
"It's not much but its home." The twins said together before they led Damian inside.
When he walked in, the first thing he noticed was how cramped it was. All the beds and bunk beds had been taken and there were sleeping bags littered all around the room.
"Here you go," Luke said, appearing in front of him, handing over a sleeping back and some toiletries. "Take this spot, no one's using it yet so you're welcome to it." He said, pointing over to a spot next to the bunk beds that Connor and Travis slept on.
Just as Daniel was about to head over, Luke tapped his shoulder. "Don't forget these. Since you're part of this camp now you're pretty much required to have these." He said as he handed over a bright orange shirt with the words Camp Half-Blood written in black along with a bare leather necklace.
"…Can I get this in black?"
"Sorry, there is none."
"Shit."
"Anyways, we all have the necklace," Luke said, showing his that had five multi colored beads on its. "Each bead represents one summer that we have been at camp. The little mark or picture on the bead shows what all the head councilors have agreed was the biggest event of that summer."
Damian nodded in understanding and looked at Luke's necklace. "So since you have five beads on yours ,I guess you have been here for five summers right?" He said, getting a nod from Luke.
"That's right. Though a few stay here all year around due to their scent being strong enough that attracts monster or they simply don't have anywhere to go. Annabeth and I are year rounders so we have stayed here all round for the past five years." Luke explained.
"I guess you and Annabeth know each other pretty well then." Damian mentioned getting a nod from Luke.
"Yeah, we arrived here together. Guess she is kind of like a little sister to me in a way and we have been through a lot. Especially with Thalia." He said whispering out the last part.
"Thalia." Damian said to himself. He remembered that name from the bus ride from Yancy Academy. He and Percy had heard Grover mention that name before. "Who is this Thalia if you don't mind me asking? I heard Grover mention that name before."
When Damian asked, he noticed a dark look gross Luke's face as his hair slightly covered his eyes and his hand shook slightly next to his sides. "It's nothing. It's not a story many like to talk about especially myself, Grover and Annabeth."
"Let's just say there should have been another that arrived with me an Annabeth but that didn't happen." He said. Damian caught him looking out the window and out at the big tree on top of the hill.
When Damian turned around, Luke was across the room. Since both Grover and Luke knew that name and Grover got sad over it while Luke was angry he guessed this Thalia person must have been a friend of theirs. Since they were talking in past tense he guessed something bad must have happened to her.
Damian shook his head of the negative thoughts and went to wash. After he brushed his teeth and washed his face, he changed into a pair of shorts and t shirt and got in his sleeping bag. He made sure Connor or Travis hadn't done anything to his sleeping back before he lay down and just looked up at the ceiling.
"Light out, everyone!" Luke's voice called out before the light went off. There were a lot of good nights while others grumble before Damian shut his eyes. It definitely wasn't the greatest place to sleep but he made do before he quickly succumbed to sleep.
The next day soon came, and Damian found himself going through his first day at Camp Half-Blood.
The morning went pretty smoothly. Damian woke up early, as he always did, did a little bit of training with Judgement, Dawn and Dusk, then went back to the Hermes cabin for a quick shower to wash the sweat off his body. Afterwards, he went to breakfast with the others.
Annabeth was quick to sit beside him and question him more on his job as a demon hunter, which others were curious about.
After breakfast, where Damian ate enough for four people, he went with the Hermes cabin for a Greek lesson. He was surprised when he found Annabeth was the teacher but Connor and Travis told him she was the best at speaking and talking Greek since she was a daughter of Athena.
When the lesson got underway, Damian was amazed that he could understand everything in the Greek textbook and marvelled at finally being able to read properly which caused many in the room to chuckle. Half the reason he hated reading in the past was due to not being able to read the text in books but now he might just give it a chance.
After an interesting lesson to which Annabeth told him he did well for his first time as the two exited the classroom. But before they could both leave, Grover came running up to them.
"Damian, Chiron wanted me to let you know Percy is awake and is at the big house."
Damian's eyes widened slightly before he grinned and made his way towards the big house. Grover and Annabeth followed too.
When Damian arrived, he saw Percy was sitting in the same seat he was the day before with Chiron now back in his wheelchair. However Mr. D didn't look too happy since his eyes looked like they were on fire with purple wisps coming out from them. The camp director saw Damian coming over and gave the Demon Hunter a quick nod which Damian did back.
"Damn, Percy, what did you say to piss Mr. D off?" Damian asked as he came up behind his friend, who was so startled that he jumped while making a startled sound that made Damian smirk.
"Damian!" Percy's eyes widened when he saw his friend and he was quick to give him a quick hug. "Thank God you're okay! What is going on? I'm so confused and-"
"Percy, Percy, slow down." Damian cut in, giving him a gesture to calm down. "I know it's a lot to take in, but everything Chiron and Mr. D have told you is the truth."
"You mean, the gods being real and my mom...?" Percy couldn't finish that thought.
"Yes. And I'm sorry." Damian said softly, watching Percy's face fall as he realized his mother was indeed dead. The others had a look of sympathy, especially Grover since he felt like it was his fault and that he should have protected them better while Mr. D looked like he didn't really care. Deciding to change the subkect, Damian gestured to Annabeth. "Percy, this is Annabeth. She's the one who found us and brought you to camp."
Percy looked up and Damian could see a small shade of pink appear on Percy's face as he looked at Annabeth, causing him to inwardly smirk. It was silent for a few seconds as Damian saw Annabeth's grey eyes scanning Percy over, as if she was trying to figure out the best way to take him down.
"You droll in your sleep." She finally said, though it sounded like she was stating a fact. Percy gaped at her while Damian burst out laughing.
"Urm sorry." Was all Percy managed to say before he decided to just stay quiet as Chiron leapt out of the wheel chair causing Percy's eyes to go all bug-eyed.
"Come Percy, I'll take you on a tour of the camp." He said as Annabeth then sprinted off along with Grover. However, Damian decided he would go with Percy just to make the boy feel better and so he had another familiar face with him.
Chiron took them on the same route Grover had taken Damian the day before. Damian had already seen it all and was either day dreaming away or watching the other campers go about their day.
He listened in when Percy claimed to have seen something move the curtain from the attic window but Chiron quickly shot it down to it being nothing which Damian found a little suspicious but let it go for now.
After about half an hour of Percy asking question after question, they eventually got to the cabins.
When they got there, Damian looked around and saw that a tall, well-built girl about his age was staring at Percy as if he was fresh meat. She wore a red bandana on her head and had straggly brown hair. Over her orange shirt she wore a camo flack jacket.
The girl was lean but muscular. A lot more muscular then all the other girls he had seen around here. But Damian had to admit, she did look pretty. He thought she must have been one of the more rough and tumble kind of girls that isn't afraid to lay out a few punches and receive them back if the few old scars on her arms were any indication.
She was standing outside the red cabin with barbed wire on the roof. From what Damian remembered Grover saying yesterday, that was the Ares cabin. WHich means the girl was a daughter of Ares.
"Ahh, and this is where you will be staying until you are claimed." Chiron said as he led Percy towards the Hermes cabin.
Damian was about to follow before he saw the stables just a little way off and decided to go check it out.
"I'm heading off, I'll see you later, Percy." He called, getting a timid nod from Percy. Percy knew he couldn't expect Damian to stay with him all the time and was grateful for sticking with him this far.
As Percy walked toward the Hermes cabin where he saw Annabeth was waiting for him and Chiron, Damian made his way over to the stables. The stables were made of wood that was white in colour though some of the wood had clearly begun to fade while it also had a mix of brick and stone. There was bits of hay and vegetables lying over the place, though it did look cleaner than most stables he had gone to... which were not that many.
When he walked in, he looked in amazement when he saw a long line of horse pens which house the most beautiful creatures he had seen to date. The pegasi varied in colour from white, brown and gray. Their wings folded up on their sides just like that of a bird but they look magnificent.
He walked down the line and stopped in front of a beautiful Pegasus with snow white fur and wings and had an almost silver looking mane along its neck. When he got close to the pen it was in, it moved its head and looked right at him, its brown eyes staring deeply into his silver ones.
Damian wasn't sure how but he felt like the horse was studying him. Making sure he was not a threat to it and that he wouldn't hurt it.
A little shakily, Damian extended his arm out towards the Pegasus and outstretched his fingers. The Pegasus didn't move for about half a minute as it looked at his fingers before slowly it trotted towards him. Damian held in his breath when it got close until the Pegasus's head now grazed the tips of his fingers. Light and carefully, he put his palm onto the Pegasus's head and gently stroked the animal.
The Pegasus obviously liked the feeling since it whinnied a little and had an almost peaceful look across its face and eyes. Damian was amazed at how comfortable the animal felt around him, it was like the animal just had an automatic trust in him.
"Beautiful, isn't she?" A voice called out, causing Damian's head to whip around and eyes widen slightly when none other than the girl he had been trying to talk to all day yesterday was standing there looking towards him and the Pegasus with a small smile on her face. She walked over and patted the Pegasus on the neck.
"Yeah she is. She is quite possible the most amazing animal I have ever seen." Damian sad, getting a nod in agreement from Silena.
"I'm surprised she has taken to you so quickly. It took me a few weeks before she felt comfortable to be around me. Guess you have a way with animals." She said as she gazed at Damian who blushed slightly at her stare.
"I've always been like that with animals. I guess she just recognizes I am no threat to her." He said getting a satisfied nod from Silena. "I'm Damian, by the way."
Silena giggled. "Oh I know who you are. You have been quite the talk of the camp lately after you and your friend defeated the bull man a couple of nights ago. I'm Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite."
"It's nice to meet you." Damian said, sticking his hand out to which Silena quickly shook along with a little giggle escaping from her mouth. As they shook hands, SIlena took the time to check him out. She saw that the Camp Half Blood shirt fitted him perfectly and framed his lean but muscular frame perfectly and was impressed with the black long shorts he was wearing and the black converses.
'He looks better in black though. I can see why many of my sisters want him. It would be a shame if he turns out to be a son of Aphrodite.' She thought.
"You were the one who found me on the hill that night, weren't you?" Damian asked, getting a confirming nod from Silena. "I just want to thank you for helping me. I was pretty out of it with Mr. Beefcake whacking me in the chest."
"Your welcome." She said politely, with a small hint of pink appearing on her cheeks from the thanks.
Damian looked her over and saw she was wearing almost the same as the day before except her skirt was now light blue and she had silver coloured sandals on her feet. Her nails and toe nails were coloured a light blue to match her skirt and her eyes. One thought was going through Damian's head at this point in time.
'She's gorgeous.'
Both then caught each other staring at one another before they quickly turned their heads. hiding the pink on their cheeks before they both let out a little laugh. Damian saw the necklace around her neck and saw the one bead on it that was coloured blue.
"You've been here one year I guess from the bead." He said, motioning to her necklace.
"Yeah, I came here last summer when I was thirteen. Was barely five minutes at the camp before my mom claimed me. When most people look at me, they just see this pretty girl who is a daughter of Aphrodite and that all I do is look in the mirror and talk about clothes and love and stuff. So I tried to branch myself out from that. I took up Pegasus riding lesson which I found I excelled out. I'm pretty confident in saying I'm one of the best Pegasus riders in the camp. If you like... I could teach you how to ride one." She said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear a little nervously.
"S-Sure, I'd really like that." Damian said, stuttering a little at first and causing a big smile to cross Silena's face. The Pegasus was looking between the two and if Damian didn't know any better he could have sworn she was smirking.
However, before the two could talk anymore, a blast that sounded like a small explosion sounded out through the air. Both Damian and Silena looked at each other before they headed out of the stables to see what the commotion was.
So, Damian and Silena have finally met... and there is already something blooming but it ain't outright love or anything like that, they only JUST met. But their friendship will develop into the whole 'crush/love' area as time progresses. But they are attracted to one another.
