🏛️Prologue

*^🗡️*+.🏛️🏹.+*🗡️*^

The campfire crackled in the center of the pavilion, casting long shadows across the faces of the demigods gathered around it. The mood was tense as the councilors and younger campers crowded together, huddled beneath the looming presence of the Big House. On any other summer night, Camp Half-Blood would hum with laughter, training, and excitement—but tonight, the air buzzed with frustration.

It had been brewing for months; the restlessness. Demigods, both of major and minor gods had come pouring into the camp by the dozens, all looking for a summer-long safe haven away from the vicious monsters that so incessantly hunted them down.

New arrivals came every week, overwhelming the camp's resources. The cabins, once cozy and manageable, were now packed beyond capacity. Every bed was taken, every corner of the floor aligned with makeshift sleeping bags and cots.

The training grounds were overrun too. It was almost impossible to train, let alone find a quiet place to breathe. Even the dining pavilion was packed, kids fighting for a seat at their respective tables.

At the head of the gathering stood Chiron, the camp director. His expression was grave as he surveyed the football field sized crowd of children. To his left stood Annabeth Chase, her stormy gray eyes as focused as usual, observing the chaos with a calculated gaze.

The other senior counselors, Percy Jackson, Clarisse La Rue, and others were on standby as well, waiting for the meeting to begin.

Chiron stomped his hoof, and the murmuring of the crowed quieted.

"Demigods," Chiron began, his voice filled with concern and authority, "we are facing a problem that is unlike any we've encountered before. Camp Half-Blood has grown too crowded. There are simply too many demigods for us to continue running camp as it is now. We must find a solution."

At once, voices erupted. The younger demigods, eager to help, offered ideas that ranged from impractical to absurd.

"We could stack bunk beds higher!" one camper shouted.

"Or, maybe we could build an underground bunker for the Hades kids!" another suggested, earning a few laughs from the Ares campers.

"What if we send some of them to Camp Jupiter?" a third proposed, only to have the idea shot down by a wave of groans and boos from the Greek demigods who had no interest in mingling with their Roman counterparts. It was to be expected. The Second Giant War had put tension between the two camps, even if they agreed to be cordial for now.

Chiron let the children bicker for a few more minutes before he called for silence again, though his face showed signs of weariness.

"We cannot compromise the safety or quality of life for the sake of overcrowding," he said sternly. "A more permanent solution must be found."

The conversation dragged on for what felt like hours. Even the senior campers seemed at a loss. Percy's brow was furrowed, Clarisse's arms crossed, and there was a general sense of frustration. The weight of their situation bore down on everyone.

Then Annabeth stepped forward.

"Guys, we're thinking too small," she said, her voice clear and confident. Everyone turned to listen. When Annabeth spoke, people listened. "We don't just need more space. We need to completely rethink how we use Camp Half-Blood."

She paused, letting the idea settle into the crowd. "What if... we didn't just expand the camp? What if we transformed it into something bigger—an academy?"

The silence that followed was deafening. Even Percy looked surprised.

"An academy?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow.

Annabeth nodded, her eyes gleaming with the excitement of a new idea. "Yes, an academy. Not just a summer camp for demigods, but a year-round school. Olympus Academy. We would provide not just training for survival, but education for life. We'd build dormitories—big ones—mansion-sized for each god's children, divided by parentage. And it wouldn't be like the cabins now, cramped and crowded. We could build something worthy of the gods, with rooms for every camper, space to train, and proper military training facilities."

A murmur rippled through the crowd. Slowly, the other campers began to realize what she was saying.

"We could have actual classrooms," Annabeth continued, her voice growing stronger. "A proper education system. We could teach history, mathematics, combat tactics, monster lore—everything a demigod needs to survive, and more. And with larger dorms, we'd solve the overcrowding issue. There would be enough room for every demigod, no matter how many showed up."

Percy looked at her, the glimmer of admiration clear on his face. "And we'd call it Olympus Academy?"

Annabeth smiled. "Why not? It'd be the ultimate tribute to the gods, and it would solve all of our problems. We'd be making Camp Half-Blood into something that could last forever—a true haven for every demigod."

Chiron stepped forward, his expression thoughtful. "Annabeth... this could work. But it would take time. A lot of time, and resources. The gods themselves might need to be involved."

Annabeth nodded, her determination unwavering. "I'll handle that. If this is going to work, we need to act fast, and we need everyone's help."

The camp fell silent as everyone processed the enormity of her plan. But as the moments passed, one by one, heads began to nod. Clarisse was the first to step forward, crossing her arms with a smirk.

"An academy, huh? I'm in. Let's build it."

With that, the tide turned. Excitement rippled through the demigods as they realized Annabeth's plan wasn't just a solution—it was a future.

Camp Half-Blood would now evolve into something spectacular—no more a ragtag summer camp, but the first ever school, made for demigods, by demigods. And that night, as the fires burned low, Camp Half-Blood took its first step toward becoming Olympus Academy. A place for every demigod, where they could train, learn, and live.
