What if... Kronos won the war?

Adleigh's Pov

I think something went off in all of us the moment Charlie said she was spying on Luke for us. It's not like we didn't trust her, it was the danger of it all. There was also the fact she said something happened on the ship, something she can't tell anyone or something bad would happen. Of course I was curious. I wanted to find out what happened on the ship, but I didn't have a way to figure it out. I guess I'd have to wait until she got back from Lukes ship.

After Charlie disappeared, and Phee did her little rant, I decided to find Travis. He had some explaining to do. On my way out of Cabin Three, I bumped into Connor, "What're you doing here Stoll?" I asked, regaining my footing, "I came to see Charlie, she said she needed me. Oh I also needed to talk to Bella, do you know where she is?" Connor asked. "Why'd Charlie need you?" I asked, suspicious. "I'm not sure, she sounded sad though so, I came as soon as I could." Connor said.

Charlie and Connor are best friends, no wonder she called for him, but why not one of us? "Charlie just, uh, she just left so you'll have to wait. Oh and Bella's in there, be careful though, everyones a little tense." I said, walking away. "Oh! Do you know where Travis is? I need to talk to him." I asked while walking away. "Yeah, he's in the arena. What did he do this time?" Connor asked, "You might see, thanks!" I shouted over my shoulder, running to the arena. Travis is in trouble.

Once I walked into the arena, I spotted Travis almost immediately. "Travis! Come here really quick!" I shouted, walking over to him slowly. He stopped fighting the dummy and walked over. "Yeah? What's up?" He asked, "Why'd you say that? To Phee I mean." I asked, glaring at him. "I- I don't know. I don't like people seeing me weak." He said quietly.

"That's no excuse. You need to talk to her. She's hurt Travis. You know that, don't you?" I asked. "I do, and I will. I'll go talk to them now. I know I messed up Adleigh, I know I did so can you stop glaring at me? It's freaking me out. You Cabin Six kids and your glares I swear.." Travis said, slowly getting quieter. I nodded and walked off.

I didn't know what to do. Annabeth was off on a quest with Butch. I was a little nervous about that, but it was just a small one. I think she said something about finding new demigods. I guess I could go back to the cabin and talk to Malcolm about a certain someone who he likes. I could also go train. I do need to work on my dagger skills, but I am sore from fighting, so off to bug Malcolm it is.

"Malcolm! Where are you?" I asked looking around the cabin, "He left to hang out with Cal." Liana said. "Jesus Liana! You scared me, again." I yelled, "Wrong religion, again." Liana replied calmly. "Where have you been anyways?" I asked. Liana looked up, scared but only for a second, then she covered it up right away. "Nowhere important, don't worry." She said, I nodded my head and walked out of the cabin to go train.

In the arena I saw two more people who have been missing for a while, Ella and Victoria. I decided to walk over to them, "Hey guys, where have you been? I've missed you both." I asked, "Nowhere important, I've missed you too Adleigh." Ella said. "I've missed you too!" Vic almost yelled, picking me up in a hug. "Ow ow ow, you're hugging hard Vic." I managed to get out.

"Oh sorry. I forget that not everyone can handle my hugs." Vic said smugly. "Oh don't let your ego get the best of you Vic. Wouldn't want it to go crashing down in a spar." Ella challenged. It was great to see them challenging each other again. "How much do you want to bet I'll win?" Vic said. "Twenty drachma, and keep it handy you know I'll win." Ella said casually. Vic smirked and got into position. Ella did the same and they started the sparring match.

I didn't want to be a part of it so I went to get a dummy to practice on. That's when I saw Phee and Travis talking, then Phee turning red. Another thing I didn't want to interfere in so I dragged the dummy to the other side of the arena. There seemed to be too much going on. The spar, Travis and Phee, Liana being back. Then a big boom came from outside the arena.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran to the source of the noise. I saw smoke coming out of Cabin Nines door. "Oh no, what did they do now?" Someone asked behind me. I ran over to the door and opened it to reveal Jake and Phoebe covered in smoke with scorch marks in their clothes. They walked out followed by none other than Harley, our youngest camper.

Harley was only five and a pain in the butt to take care of. I don't know how Cabin Nine took care of him, or didn;t considering he probably caused the explosion. Sure Harley was the cutest kid ever, but he was still insane. Everyone loved him so he never really got in trouble, unless Nyssa got him. Then he would be getting yelled at, and then Beckendorf came and saved the day.

Harley and Beckendorf were the cutest brother duo you could imagine. Harley was the brains and Beckendorf the brawns. Harley could come up with the most ridiculous machine imaginable and Beckendorf would help him make it.

They came up with a metal dragon schematic and they're almost done building it. I think Harley wants to call it Festus, which in latin means happy, so Happy the dragon. Cute right?

Back to what's going on though. "What happened?" I asked, helping Phoebe pat out a small fire on her leg. "I was just watching Harley and Jake build their little machine and then it just exploded." Phoebe said, slowly. "We should all be fine, no scratches." She said, calmly. "That was so cool!" Harley yelled. Everyone chuckled at Harley's response, then you heard Nyssa.

"Harley!" She yelled, "Uh oh." Harley whispered, slowly walking away. "Nyssa! Don't, you've done the same things as Harley." Beckendorf said. "Fine, it's not like I can stay mad at him for even an hour, he's too sweet." Nyssa responded, walking into their cabin.

Beckendorf picked up a laughing Harley. "You, my brother, are standing on a very thin line with Nys." Beckendorf said calmly. "I know... but it was really cool!" Harley said, changing the subject. Beckendorf chuckled and walked into Cabin Nine.

Then another big boom happened, this time at the lake. "Not again" Vicky groaned, running to the lake to get the kids out. We all ran over to the lake to see what happened. "We're back... ouch." Annabeth grounded. "Hey Annie. Who'd you find?" I asked, "Four kids, Leo, Jason, Piper, and Olly. We don't know any of their parents." Annabeth said, turning to me. "They haven't been claimed yet then." I said quietly.

"Claimed? What does that mean?" A scrawny kid asked, "What's his name?" I asked Annabeth, "That's Leo... he's very annoying." She said quietly. "Ok then. Claiming is..." A bright orange hammer with fire glowed above Leo's head, "That's claming." I finished, then another bright light shone, Yellow with a lyre. Apollo and Hephaestus.

"Welcome to camp guys, Leo you're a child of Hephaestus, and..." I said, "Olly, my name is Olly." "Ok then Olly, you're a child of Apollo. I'm not sure about you two though." I explained, "Oh I'm Piper by the way, this is Jason." Piper said. "Nice to meet you, we have a few people here to show you around, Vicky show Olly around, Jake you take Leo, Ella you take Jason, and I'll take Piper." I said. Camp is going to be crazy now, I mean, four new people? Yikes.

Look at me go  trying to make up for the long pause in the story 😭🤚
