Sometimes as I pass Thalia's tree I imagined myself with an unbreakable heart. Impenetrable, strong and unwilling to bend to any will , including my own. But instead I was given a heart that pulsed with the flow of life just like every else.

My heart clenched painfully when I tap Thalia's tree as I passed it on my way to the Hephaestus cabin.

Chiron saved me an extra hour of training just now. Dionysus was starting to tick me off with his irrelevant jabs and my temper is a combination of my mother's and my father's , so I would have stepped out of line and said something he'd make me regret for months.

I'd done it before.

My first time at Camp Half-blood. I told him that he looked like an old, fat, crying baby. I was being genuine but he did not take smoothly. Made me do kitchen duties until I was ten.

The world was blurry and steaks of colours filled my vision as I raced by. A smile slowly spread across my face. This feeling was beautiful. It was the feeling of freedom. Or at least what you'd expect it to feel like.

I slowed down next to a pink cabin. Cabin 10, Aphrodite's cabin.

I entered and rushed to my bunk bed, I pulled up my pillow and smiled at the sight of my strong bracelet. The strings were orange and pink with accents of red , for Hephaestus, Aphrodite and Ares, a clear sign of the harmony that my brother and I preferred. JJ made one for each of the people closest to us. Luke , Nanny Mcwisey, Grov and himself and Benkendorph.

Ever since then we all wore ours at all times. But I wasn't ready to run the risk of wearing it outside of camp the way I did with my lasso. It was far to prescious for me to lose. But I wasn't outside of camp so . .

I smiled and pulled the bracelet unto my hand. "Nice."

I turned and blew a kiss to my brothers and sisters. A looked around clean cabin and smiled. We never made a mess in here for fear of irregularities. Or as Phoebe would say, "Practical imperfections to our existence."

Yeah ,in here we were pretty and very anti-jerm oriented folks.

Selena pulled me into a side hug. "You haven't spoken to me since you got her, little love."

I relax into my sister and wrap my arms around her. "With everything happening I'm surprised I haven't died of excitement."

Selena laughed softly and gently pinched my cheeks. Her bright blue eyes reminding me off the purity of baby blue skies . Selena was the most beautiful daughter of Aphrodite to me. She had a voice as soft and silky as Lana Del Rey and she carried herself with the poise of a princess. Her luscious dark waist length hair always full of volume and looking healthy.

Not an imperfection to her skin.

"You little stinker, you are very lucky that I wasn't expecting an essay on your little adventure. You know how I love your stories." she said smoothening out my hair. "I missed you."

I smiled brightly up at her ,dimples visible in my cheeks , I could feel them. "I missed you too, pretty princess."

Selena cupped my cheeks and rubbed them , cooing at how soft they were. "Look at these little dimples!"

"Lena!" I protested.

Selena laughed joyously and ressed her lips to my forehead with a Smack!

I recoiled and folded my arms across chest. "Affection is such a drab."

"Hmm," she hummed in a mocking tone. "Most be tiresome the amount that I give you."

I bit my lip tryin to not to laugh. I raised my chin. "Such simpleness does not deter me."
