Why Camp Half-Blood Has Some Of Its Rules

Rules- 2

Hi, it Aurora your favorite daughter of Hypnos, back with more Camp Half-Blood rules. Don't forget I see a lot of things that others don't know or realize. Hope you enjoy.

1. "Do not break or ruin the Apollo kid's instruments". 

Okay I know it doesn't sound like something worth being a rule, but it is. So it was a Sunday, the day where you don't have a schedule to follow AKA everyone's favorite day at camp, lunch had just ended about 20 minutes before the start of this. Some of the Apollo kids were in front of their cabin playing some instruments and writing a song or something, and you know how the Apollo cabin and the Ares cabins are right next to each other, well some of the Ares kids started to getting annoyed of the constant music and singing. 

They eventually got fed up with having to hear the Apollo kids play music, so they got out of their cabin went over to the Apollo kids that were playing music and singing. The Ares kids walked right up to them and grabbed the instruments away and broke some in half, bent some, and slammed some on the ground a few times. The Apollo kids got really mad that the Ares kids just came up and just broke the instruments and without saying anything before doing so. 

Just looking at the Apollo kids you could see the anger in their faces, one of them just went up to one of the Ares kids and punch her in the face. The two of them started fighting while other Apollo kids started fighting other Ares kids. They all didn't stop fighting till Chiron and some other random campers polled them apart Apollo kids on one side of Chiron and the Ares kids on the other. You could still see the anger in the Apollo kids' faces and the mixed look of frustration and slightly confused on the Ares kids' faces.

That isn't the only reason for the rule there is something else that happened before it became an official rule. The second reason is because of a prank gone wrong by the Hermes kids. Okay, you might think that since the Hermes kids are always pulling pranks that they would be really good at them, they are not, they make mistakes 70% of the time. This was one of those times. 

They were trying to just set up colored smoke bombs that would go off when someone picked up an instrument. Well, they didn't set it up correctly, so when the Apollo kids went back into their cabin after breakfast they found the instruments covered in random colors all over them. Which meant the instruments were ruined and permanently covered in colors like pink, orange, green, yellow, purple, and other colors. 

When the Apollo kids came out of their cabin to look for whoever had ruined the instruments, they saw me and they know I would never do something like that, but that I might know who did. So three of them walked over to me while the others were looking around. The three that came up to me were Lee Fletcher, Michael Yew, and Will Solace (it was before the two died), it was Will that first to say something "Hey Aurora, we were wondering if you saw anyone go in or out of cabin 7," he has said waving a little when he said hi. 

I waved back saying "Yeah, I think I saw like 3 or 4 kids from cabin 11 leaving it like 5 minutes ago," through yawns. They all nodded their heads, saying thanks, and walking away towards cabin 11 (Hermes cabin). The other Apollo kids saw and followed. You can probably guess what happened, but if you can I will tell you. The Apollo kids beat up the Hermes kids that had tried to prank them. They found the kids easily because another kid in the Hermes cabin told the Apollo kids. Now, remember "Do not break or ruin the Apollo kids instruments".

2. "Do not flirt with the hunters of Artemis". 

I feel like this one is so obvious, but it still one of the rules. There is no specific person that caused this rule it was just whoever flirted with them that something like this would happen. 

So if you flirt with the hunters you are lucky if you aren't seriously injured or almost killed. Even if you just flirt with one you most likely have all of them to deal with. Most people end up in the infirmary with an arrow or two somewhere on them, whether just in their hair or sometimes in an arm or leg. Most also have lots of cuts and some bruises. I know some of that stuff doesn't sound that bad, but I would not encourage or suggest to flirt with the hunters. If you want a better chance to live when the hunters are at camp remember "Do not flirt with the hunters of Artemis".
