STRENGTH ✷ prologue, ━━━━━ nabi falls off the climbing wall. PUBLISHED. . . January 27th, 2024 EDITED . . . To Be Determined
"IF I FALL, I BLAME THE GODS!"
Camp Half-Blood, a safe haven for demigods, was known for its beautiful beaches; the different cabins that campers lived in, created to represent each of the greek gods; the bustling of campers doing archery and sword training; and the other fun activities too! Such as... the climbing wall.
