          A boy with dark hair makes his way towards me. He had dark circles underneath his eyes and pale skin. He looked to be looked like he was 11.

"Is it true you're a princess?" He asked. He had a Zeus action figure in his hand.

"Yes." I smiled at him. The boy sat down in front of me pulling out more greek figures.

"I was wondering who your parent could be." He looked down at the figures. He had Hermes, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Aphrodite, Athena, Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon.

"Kid. What is your name?" I asked, he looked up at me then at his figures. He picked up Artemis up and put her beside my face.

"I'm Nico." He says shyly while looking down.

"Maybe we should try to figure out your parent." Nico looked up at me with the brightest smile.

"Firstly, it's definitely not Artemis or Hera." I grabbed the figures and put it beside me.

"What why?" Nico asked.

"They are maidens." I say, he looks at me confused, "they do not have any children, Well Hera does and they only belong to Zeus."

"Because she's the marriage Godness!" Nico shouted. I could help but laugh, Nico seemed like an adorable kid.

Nico started talking about his favorite God. I tried listening but I couldn't. I felt someone watching me. I hated it. I glance around the grass field. Clarisse was making her cabin do hand to hand combat. They were mostly focused on the fight. Finally my eyes find Layla. She had a white rose in her hand and she twisting it. Her eyes narrowed at me before she rolls her eyes. She turned and made her way towards Clarisse.

"I decided that I'm hopeless." Nico said while rubbing his head. I started laughing and his eyes narrowed at me.

"What are you laughing about!" He said while looking away. I shook my head and let my head fall back. The sun was hitting my skin, burning it.

    "I miss my sister." Nico said. I looked at him to see that he had pulled his legs to himself. He looked down as if it was going to cry.

     "Naturally." I said as playful as I could. Nico looked up at me and a small smile appears on his face.

      "Do you have any siblings?"

   Three.

    "Two. I'm the youngest." I watch as Nico relaxes his body.

      "Tell me about them!" Nico shouted.

     "Well there is the oldest, Aleksander. Then Aridella." I smiled at the thought about them.

     "What about you?" I ask. His eyes light up and he goes into a full details about his sister.

       Before we knew it. It was nightfall, I began to pick my stuff up.
