The Magic Within

3. Claiming

After I changed I Iris messaged Miss Grennis, who told me that she was a daughter of Ares, which would explain why she always sent me to fighting classes...and gymnaststics and martial arts and karrati...ya, I think you get it.

I walked to the big house and knocked on the door. A boy opened it. It was the same boy from the forest. "Oh hi! Your the girl who killed the Minotaur, I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." He said, letting me in. "Hi, I'm Luna Destiny Olympus, but my friends call me Lu." I said walking inside. Percy looked to be around 13/14 years old.

"Where's Chiron?" I asked. "Right here, what seems to be the problem Miss Olympus?" asked Chiron. He was in a wheel chair.

"Oh my god! Are you OK, Chiron?" I was practly freaking out! Percy then burst out laughing and I was a bit pissed. How could he laugh in such a situation!? "Don't worry child. This is the form I take when I'm not a centaur" Chiron was trying very hard not to laugh. I was so embarrassed and tried to change the subject. "Anyway. Back to why I came here. Why or how can I read Greek?" I asked.

"All demigods can. Demigods are designed to read Greek instead of English. That's why we are diagnosed with dyslexia. Our ADHD is actually just battle reflexes," answered Percy after he siezed his laughter. Chiron just nodded. "Oh cool. I really did suck at English." Chiron chuckled. Then a sound, like a bell rang outside. "Oh! Time to go to the dining pavilion for FOOD!!" exclaimed Percy, running out the door. I followed behind him.

The dining pavilion was huge. At the end of each long table was a small fire. I sat with Chelsea and some of the Hermes kids. I ordered lasagna and followed everyone to the fire, scraping some food into it. Everyone walked back to the table and I followed.

Chiron walked on the stage and began to speak. "May I have your attention, I would like introduce 2 new campers, Luna Destiny Olympus and Chelsea Strein." We stood up and everyone started talking about which cabin we'd be in. "There will be Capture the Flag tomorrow. Thank you" The centaur then trotted off the stage. I finished my food and walked to the cabin. There would be sing-along tonight, so I dressed warmly. The Apollo cabin sat in a group, singing songs I didn't recognize. I was on my own because I didn't know many people. Well....not completely on my own.

Chelsea skipped along, straight blonde hair bouncing, and sat next to me, softly humming the songs (she is definitely NOT a daughter of Apollo). She wore a short, pink dress with black pumps. I have no idea how she hadn't turned into an icicle yet, but I guess she was freezing, knowing her favourite saying: 'Suffer for Beauty'.

A bright pink glow broke my thoughts. On top of Chelsea's head was a glowing pink dove. Everyone looked this way and Chelsea tried to touch the sign, but it faded away. "All hail Chelsea daughter of Aphrodite!" boomed Chiron's voice. Everyone began to bow when Chelsea's outfit changed. It looked absolutely stunning! Everyone was staring at her while she walked to the Aphrodite girls. I was all alone again.

Percy then called me over to his group and introduced me to some of his friends. There was Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena (don't tell Percy this, but they'd make a really cute couple), Piper Mclean, daughter of Aphrodite (she had brown hair with eyes that wouldn't stop changing colours), Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus (curly brown hair and brown eyes) and Jason Grace, son of Jupiter (Blonde hair, blue eyes). It was reaIly awkward because I didn't know them, but I introduced myself and we ended up talking the whole night. They were really nice and I knew we were going to be friends.
