Percy was reaching the camp borders, until he met the minotaur.

"Oh hey! You're the minotaur!" Percy said. The minotaur roared and charged at him. Percy summoned his bow and fired a few arrows and it, in hopes of slowing it down. It worked, Percy then used Riptide and killed it.

Percy heard noises and pretended to faint.

"There's no need to pretend anymore, Mr. Jackson," Chiron said.

Percy sat up, "How'd you know?"

"I'm not the trainers of heroes for nothing, my boy. Tell me, what are you?" Chiron asked.

"I don't know," Percy said.

"Well, you better get to Hermes' cabin. Annabeth here will take you there," Chiron said, he then went away, revealing a girl with blonde princess curls by the doorway.

"You are Percy?" Annabeth asked.

"Yep," Percy replied.

"Well, come on. I'll bring you to the Hermes Cabin. New demi-gods all go there until they have been claimed," Annabeth said.

"Ok," Percy said as he was guided out of the infirmary. As he walked across, he saw Drew from afar and gulped.

"Can we maybe go another route?" Percy said.

"Why?" Annabeth asked, peering at him closely.

"Hey, hunny," Drew came over.

"Piss off, Drew," Percy groaned.

"Aww, but why? Don't you want me?" Drew pouted.

"No," Percy said.

"Drew, leave the poor boy alone," another girl said. Drew then finally left.

"Hey Annie!" a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes waved at Annabeth.

"Hey Luke," Annabeth said. She and Percy went over to the arena and met Luke.

"Hello, who are you?" Luke asked.

"I'm Percy Jackson," Percy said.

"Luke Castellan," Luke said, "You know how to wield swords?"

"I could try," Percy said.

"Here, try a wooden one," Luke said handing him a wooden sword.

Percy gripped on the handle, then put out a fighting stance. Luke raised his eyebrows, impressed. Luke held out his sword and started swinging it, Percy blocking his blows. Luke then started increasing his speed. Percy blocked them perfectly. Then, Percy landed a blow on Percy's left hand, Luke froze a bit. When he came back, he felt the wooden sword under his chin.

"You good," Luke admitted.

"Thanks, I'm the Captain of the school Fencing team," Percy said.

"Nice, I'm the camp's vice leader. Mark, son of Zeus is the leader here. Bratty if you ask me, but I can't make changes and Mr. D doesn't really care," Luke said, in a whisper.

"I hate those kind of people," Percy agreed.

"Anyways, good luck. See you Annie," Luke said, waving at a blushing Annabeth. Then, they departed.

"You like him!" Percy exclaimed, grinning.

"No, I don't," Annabeth said, blushing.
