Children of Divinity (A Percy Jackson Fanfic/BoyXBoy)

Chapter 3 Not The Academy

"Ah, my head..." I groaned sitting up, my eyes still closed still I felt myself squint. The bed...or at least I think it's a bed, feels comfy.

"By the gods he's awake!" a voice gasped and I heard rapid footsteps leaving wherever I was, I still had my eyes closed but after another second or two I blinked hard and then slowly opened them. What the hell?! This is definitely not a hospital...am I outdoors? This place looks like a tent, a very big one but still a tent, so I guess that's a yes...

"Ok, in a tent in a comfy bed annnnddd..." Looking around more I saw who looked like teenagers tending to other armored teenagers who sporadically occupied beds that lined the left, right, and back of this massive tent, a couple of wooden racks holding different kinds of armor and weapons too. The weapons and armor were weird though, all leather or something akin to that, and the weapons were swords, axes, javelins, bows, crossbows, and other similar items. Crisp air filled my nose as I finished my visual rundown of the place. "Holy crap..."

"W...where am I? Andrew? Andrew you here? Mr. Brunner?"

"There! He's awake Chiron," the teen from before says pointing to me from the entrance of the tent. Chirrrooooooommmmmyyygoooood...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? I backed up violently falling out of my bed in the process as I saw Mr. Brunner or Chiron or whoever he is but like...part horse?

Mr. Brunner walked over and I felt my eyes still wide as I slowly got to my feet with a groan, gripping my head as I sat back down on the bed. "I'm hallucinating, I am seeing things..."

"If it was only that simple, but no, unfortunately, this is as real as it gets. How are you feeling?"

"Uhm...Sti...Still processing quite a bit funnily enough. I am awake though so I guess that is good...Where is Andrew?"

"He is..." Mr. Brunner or Chiron I guess answered as both he and I looked behind him where Andrew ran in from the tent entrance. Next thing I know I am knocked back down onto the bed with a fierce hug. "Right here it would seem...I'll give you some time to get adjusted. Andrew, I'll be around if he has any questions," Mr. Brunner said to Andrew who nods and he walks away or trots? I don't know at this point.

"Thank the gods you woke up!" He said hugging me tighter then let me go. The gods? that is an odd way to phrase it...ok ok one thing at a time.

"How long was I out?"

"About 2 weeks. Honestly, I and Chiron weren't sure it'd work, getting you here I mean. But I guess you are one of us after all."

"Slow down slow down. What?"

"Oh right right, my bad my bad. Introductions are definitely in order, and an explanation too huh?"

I nod to his question and he grins and sits on the side of the bed next to me.

"Would be a nice start to whatever all this is yeah," I said looking around.

"Well I'll start with the obvious, I am Andrew Silas. Next, this is the Infirmary of Camp Half-Blood. Which is a sanctuary slash training ground for children of the gods, or Demigods. Gods in this case being the greek ones. I am a child of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. You must be a demigod too since you could enter here."

"Meaning?"

"Only demigods, gods, and those with permission can enter here. anyone else can't. You feel well enough for the grand tour?"

I nodded hesitantly and took his hand after he offered, and we got our feet. Him leading me out of the tent.

"Yeah, I think?"

"Don't worry we'll go slow, I know this is a lot to take in. I remember my first time too. Very trippy."

"Appreciate it."
