The Heart of a Child

Chapter Four

Aster awoke in a silent, bright white room. He slowly sat up and looked around to see he was in an infirmary.

"Oh, good." Aster jumped and turned around to see a boy with golden hair. He looked maybe a year older then Aster and was definitely more muscled. The boy had cerulean blue eyes and seemed about 6' 3", over a foot taller than Aster's 5' 1". "You're awake." The boy continued.

Aster simply nodded and looked away to watch himself fiddle with a loose string on the white blanket that was pooled around his lower half.

"My name's Will. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood." The boy-Will offered with a bright smile and when Aster didn't respond, he continued,"What's your name?" Aster looked around for a pen and paper.

When he finally found a small notebook and a pen on the bedside table, he wrote 'Aster'.

"Well, Aster I'll explain to you Camp Half-Blood—unless you already know what it is...?" When Aster didn't show any change from the confused look(that Will personally thought was utterly adorable), Will continued,"Camp Half-Blood is a place for demigods. Demigods, in case you don't know, are children born from a mortal(human) and a god or goddess. I'm a son of Apollo, Greek god of healing, prophecy, poetry, and archery, hence why I'm in the infirmary. Demigods aren't really safe in the mortal world, too many monsters(and when I say monsters, I don't mean the imaginary ones under your bed or in your closet from when you were a small child)."

Aster donned a look of understanding and nodded once Will had finished.

"Any idea who yo-" Will was cut off by a pop followed by a folded piece of paper falling onto Aster's lap from nowhere.

Aster quickly read the short note then got up and started running. Will tried to follow, but Aster had lots of practice from running from Dudley as a child when him and his gang played 'Harry Hunting'.

Aster was deep in the forest when he finally stopped running. He slowed down and walked until he met the edge of a cliff over looking the ocean. He turned around and saw a GAINT tree with an even bigger, elaborate treehouse on it. It looked dangerously near the cliff, but Aster knew from experience(the Burrow[and the knowledge transfer])that it was very sturdy due to the use of magic.

He made his way into the house and found the master bedroom where he quickly fell asleep.
