"Are you done?" I yelled through the door.

Tyson and I were waiting outside the toilet building that led to multiple confused glances from the other campers. And this time not because of Tyson being a Cyclops but because of me yelling instructions.

"How am I supposed to know?" Nyx yelled back. "Do you feel like peeing anymore?" I asked. "No."
"Then you are done."

I took Nyx and Tyson to the dinner pavilion. "Look there are the Pegasus stables." I pointed at the stables where Silena was washing a pegasus. "

Yeah already know that." Nyx said bored.
"Katie already showed me the chicken Ponies!" Tyson added. "O, did Katie give you a tour?"

Tyson nodded excitedly, "yes, Katie is nice to me. Unlike that other girl." He nervously started to glaze around as if 'the other girl' would magically appear.

"Clarisse." Nyx explained. "I told the campers to leave Tyson alone until you wake up."

"Dionysus agreed?" I wondered.

"He did not particularly care, he was more busy with Chiron leaving and Tantalus agreed that it would be better to wait for you to wake up."

"Did you threaten him?" I asked slightly worried.

"Yup!" she said, and she summoned a black whip. A dangerous look passed her eyes.

We entered the Dining pavilion and I noticed there were a lot more campers than last time, probably because they were claimed by their parents and we had no traitors anymore. Well except Luke.

This year there was another table added to the pavilion. A new table which I assumed was for the Minor Gods.

People started to whisper when I took my friends to the head table where a bored Dionysus explained Tantalus about the way the camp worked.

"Mr. D" I spoke up.

Dionysus looked up and sighed, "Oh...there we have Perry Johnson. The great hero of the camp blah blah blah."

Tantalus snickered. Meanwhile his eyes greedily scanned over me. They reminded me of a pig.

"Oh and who have you brought with you? A monster and a psycho emo girl." 'Oh nothing, just a primordial.' Chaos replied as if they could hear her. 'What's a psycho emo girl?' Nyx wondered.
'I explain later.'

"I brought two friends to camp. Nyx is a new demigod and Tyson is a cyclops friend of mine who I met in school. He's a peaceful monster. I see no reasons why he shouldn't be here."

Tantalus glared at Nyx who simply returned it with a sadistic smile while she mimicked the motions of a whip which made Tantalus pale.

"We don't want monsters here!" Tantalus said angrily, pointing at Tyson. "And also, we don't accept violent demigods here!" He pointed at Nyx.

'Is he talking about me?' Nyx wondered. 'Duh...' Hemera answered.

"He's my brother and she's my friend and I assume you know what is going on with the camp borders? You really want to send away new campers?"

"Percy is right, we should not send away two new campers who need a home. That would be the opposite of what the Gods promised camp would be." Katie said.

I gratefully nodded at her and waited to see the reaction of Tantalus.

"Fine, but where are they gonna stay? We don't have a cyclops cabin." he grinned like he just told a great joke.

Suddenly all the campers gasped, their eyes drawn to Tyson. A glowing trident had appeared above Tyson's head.

He looked up and began waving his hand through the trident. "Whasat?"

"You've been claimed, brother." I told him which resulted in a huge smile from the cyclops.

"Poseidon claimed me! Now Percy is o"cially my brother!" He yelled excited.

A second gasp came from the campers as a skull with a scythe appeared above Nyx.

"Whose symbol is that?" Katie pondered as Nyx began to swipe at the symbol above her hand.

"Another communist!" a demigod I recognized as Damien called out.

"No, it's Thanatos." Annabeth said.

'You convinced Thanatos to claim you?' I asked Nyx.

'Thanatos is my child remember? It was the most reasonable explanation for my powers.'

'Death is your child?' I wondered.

'Yup!'

'You got some interesting kids.'

'I know,' Hemera sighed, 'christmas at mom's place is always the worst'

"Well, this is great news!" Tantalus called out. "We can put the Cyclops inside the Poseidon Cabin. Sadly there's not a Thanatos cabin yet, so we put it here for the time being in the Hermes cabin."

"But she is the child of Death!" An Ares camper protested. "And he's a Cyclops!" Another Ares camper yelled.

Ares campers still hate me for beating up their dad.

Suddenly a loud air horn sound filled the dining pavilion. I turned to my left and saw Nyx had my air horn in her hand and she was using it to everyone's annoyance.

When she stopped everyone glared at her. "Where did you get that? It was in my backpack!"

Nyx, however, ignored me and turned to the campers and yelled. "Yo, shitbloods! Percy here worked his ass of last year and bribed the entire council to make sure every single one of you got respect, and all the gods got their own Cabin. He literally forced Zeus to admit you're all equal and deserving of a home and when Percy shows up with two new campers that's how you react!"

All the campers looked down in shame at their table while my friends just smiled at this display of courage.

"Okay they can stay." Dionysus said, sounding extremely bored but I could see his interest was piqued.

"Okay but where do we put Nyx?" Tantalus asked angrily.

"I'll stay in the Poseidon Cabin." Nyx answered.

"You can't stay in the Poseidon Cabin." Tantalus sighed.

"She can stay with me. We don't want her to get all psychopath on you do we?" I asked innocently.

Nyx summoned her black whip and it struck the dinner plate in front of Tantalus.

"Or do you want another meeting with my whip?" Nyx asked which made Dionysus burst out in laughter and was soon followed by the other campers.

"Fine!" Tantalus shouted, his face red.

I took my two new friends to the Poseidon table and began dinner.
