Dark Roads

Meeting the Godly Progeny

As I was walking with the demigods now known as Travis, and his younger brother Connor, we were discussing all that would be involved with the camp. "Now when we get there, you won't be able to get past the barrier, so we'll have to give you permission," said Travis. I nodded in understanding. We were coming across this strawberry farm, or so I thought. "We're finally here," both intoned.  'Creepy', I thought. As we stopped at what I supposed was the barrier, I decided fuck it, might as well see if I have some sort of godly shit in me. I stepped forward, and as I got closer, I saw this weird shimmery looking wall, and then I passed through it. 'Huh, well I guess I do have godly blood in me'. They both looked at me smugly. "See we tooold you that you were a demigod." They both laughed and high-fived. "Yeah, yeah, I get it," I said drily. We soon passed through the barrier and on the way saw these weird... tree women? I don't know... Anyways when we passed over the hill, what I saw literally took my breath away; rolling hills with strawberries, kids playing volleyball on a beautiful beach, and what looked like more kids practicing archery, sword fighting and many other fighting skills. I take it all in. We soon begin the descent down the hill, and as we reached the bottom, a strange horse-like man creature was seen trotting over to us. "Hello, there", said the wizened horse/man hybrid, nodding at both Travis and Connor. " Who's this you two brought along," he asked while looking curiously at me. "Just someone... special we decided to bring along," replied Travis. "Hmm," he nodded in understanding. " But I wonder... What IS it that makes you so special, is it the dark, foreboding aura you project... or... something else. But I digress, you don't even know who I-" "You're Chiron, the legendary trainer of heroes," I interrupted. "And HOW exactly do you know this," he wondered. "Well for one, if it's not the wise teacher aura YOU project, then it's the fact that there's only one centaur I know of that could have that kind of attitude, then it hit me, it could ONLY be you," I deduced. He looked... proud? for whatever reason. "Well if you're going to be staying here, then I guess I should get you introduced to the camp," he said. He then shouted a girls name, Annabeth I think it was, and lo and behold, here she comes. "You called for me Chiron", she asked. He nodded. "Can you please give our new resident a tour of the camp," he asked. She sighed,nodded, then looked up at me. " Follow me". She walked off, I shrugged and followed. "So who's your godly parent," she asked. I shrugged my shoulders," Don't really know for sure." "Of course," she muttered under her breath. I just ignored it.

TIME SKIP 20 MINUTES

"So that's the camp,"she said. "It's beautiful," I said quietly. She nodded in agreement. "Look alive, here comes the pig and her friends," she whispered to me. I look and laugh, I actually laugh because what I saw was the most stereotypical shit I've EVER seen. It was the pig looking girl and equally ugly bully friends marching over here like this was some highschool romcom. "Bet 10 bucks, there here to do some hazing or something to the new kid," I whisper down to her. "You're on". I chuckle and look up. "Hey braniac, who's you're new boyfriend," the pig bitch says. I just laugh out loud. " And what the hell are you laughing at," she snarled at me. "Just how stereotypical you and little... clique is." She starts to fume. " I was gonna give you a chance, but now I'm definitely gonna give you the newbie treatment," she says like she can do anything. She proceeds to stomp over to me and the minute she gets within 2 feet of me, I pull out the Judge and aim it at her head. " That's a shotgun shell to the face," I lean in to her face," Do you really think you're demigod lineage will prevent thousands of newtons of force from blowing your head clean off your body, cause if you do, you're DEAD wrong." She slowly backs away and leaves with her clique without saying a word. "Y'know she's gonna come back again, right," Annabeth asks. I just nod. I hold out my hand. "Oh for gods sake, here," she pulls out 10 dollars," enjoy it. I just smile and ask," So where am I staying?" She widens her eyes in surprise as she remembers that part of the tour, and she grabs my hand and takes off. As we're running we come close to a cabin that looks like it's had better days, paint peeling off and wood rotting. "This is Hermes cabin, where you'll be staying." I just frown, then nod and walk in.
