"I've been the archer...I've been the prey."

Percy, Luke, Chris and some others walk out of the cabin, listening to whatever Luke had to say.


"Demigods have always fought for glory. They used to call it kleos. It's like this stuff that attaches itself to your name. Makes it bigger, scarier, more important. People listen closer when you talk. They work harder to be your friend. And they think twice about messing with you." He explains to Percy as they keep walking.


Right on clue, a girl bumps into Percy and just walks away like it was nothing. The blonde noticed Chris smiling at her, but before she got the chance to smile back, Percy spoke up.


"Hey!" He exclaim. The girl scoffs, turns around and pushes him onto the ground. "Woah." Percy could hear Chris say. 


"Hey knock it off Clarisse. It's like his first day, come on." The curly brown haired girl, whose name apperently is Clarisse, just smirks.


Meanwhile Chris walks over to Percy and helps him up. When he's standing Chris pats his back.


Clarisse then speaks: "Wait, so this is the kid who killed the Minotaur. Is that right?" "Yeah" Percy shrugged, looking away for a second before his gaze landed on her again. "I'll bet" With that she steps closer to him. 


"Look, you want attention around here dummy? You better be ready for when it comes." The girl then inched closer, making Percy flinch back at which she and her friends laugh before they wander away again.


"Well, she seems nice." Percy smiles sarcastically. "Ares kids. They come by it honestly." Luke informs him. 


"Well.. I mean.. Clarisse isn't that bad.." Chris tries to reason, but he only earnied some looks from Percy and Luke at which the curly haired boy shuts his mouth.


"Why don't they mess with you?" Percy wonders with a frown. "They know better." he says proudly. Then Chris speaks up. "Luke's the second strongest swordsman at camp." He says to me, proud of his friend. 


"Second? Who's first?" 


"Oh. Y/n. She's the number one at everything. Sword fighting, spear fighting, archery, just fighting, best skills, crafting.. Everything you can come up with, she's the best." Chris lists up with a fond smile.


"Y/n?" Percy questions, trying the unfamiliar name out on his tongue. "Yup. You can't beat her. Trust me, I've tried, multiple times.." Luke recalls.


"Speaking of Y/n, there she is." The boy with a scar then points at a girl who's sitting on a bench and reading a book. 


She has pretty y/h/c hair and those y/e/c eyes look so pure and honest.
