Every thing is covered in a layer of fuzz. All i can see is the sky with fuzzy edges of what I assume to be trees. The corse sand is under my hands and body. The lapping waves slowly soak my pants which are slightly ripped from something i have the aintest hazy memory of. My shirt is two sizes to big and soft but dirty from something. My jackets still holding liquid from something i can't remember. I can feel the notts of my hair and it sticking to my skin.

There are faint voices not to far from me and footsteps in the sand. A head crosses into my line of sight. Light skin with patches of dark and long red box braids. There speaking to me but i can only hear and feel the vibrations of there voice. It feels kind but authoritative in the way a mothers voice is.  When i make the attempt to sit up the help me sit up.

As i blink the land scape slowly comes more into view. It's a large lake that i had washed up on. Here are Kanose and a dock on he shore. I'm right at the shore line and there are people in some Kanoes out on the lake looking over at me. Everyone has orange shirts on with some sort of black design on them. I look over at who helped me sit up and she's still talking but I can't make out any sound or distanced words just the vibrations.

Slowly the words start to clear in my head as everything comes more into focus. I see that she's not the only one there. There's lots of people on the shore a few yards away just looking at me. "Hello. Can you understand me" the girl keeps saying. Her eyes are riddled with concern and there chocolate brown color makes them more inviting.

"W-where am I?" My own voice doesn't sound familiar and its horse from lack of use. It feels strange in my own throat like its never been used.

Everyone on the beach looks slightly alarmed at my voice, that or the fact I don't know where i am. The girl has her hand on my shoulder and rubs it slightly as she keeps eye contact with me. "Your at camp half blood" she sounds so kind it makes me smile and feel a little more sure of myself even though the name of the camp doesn't seem to be to inviting.

"Camp half blood?" I repeat and she nodes her head. I'm so confused and every time i try to think of who i am my head dully throbs. "What is this place" my question rolls off my younger like its nothing and it even surprises me along with everyone else on the beach.

"A camp for Demi gods. Which you have to be one if you washed up here." A boy spoke who was standing in the front of the surrounding kids. He looked mean and athorative and had his hands crossed over his chest and his eyes were looking over me like i was a game to be won and he was trying to find the fastest way to win.

"A Demi god? But I'm not one." I said it with such confidence I believed it even though i had no idea where the knowledge came from.

"You have to be. I mean if your here then you have to be and at east someone important to get washed up." A girl spoke up who had long brown hair and she was the definition of cute farmer girl. She was semi shy but she looked like one of the older kids since everyone looked at her when she talked just like the girl with the box braids and the boy.

"Alright campers let the poor kid think." A centaur walked through the crowd and he looked familiar but the sight of him made my head hurt. When he saw me a flicker of recognition went through his feathers before he went back to his normal face. "Welcome to camp." He said and he put his hand out to help me up.

I took it an he helped me Stand and my clothes dripped with water. He picked me up so fast and put me on his back i almost didn't realize it. He trotted off to a big farm house in the middle of the valley past a huge amount of what looked like cabins that all looked different. He brought me to the house and through a side door that lead to what looked like a mini hospital. He set me down on a bed while a girl who was the literal definition of sun shine checked all my vitals and got me new clothes.

It al happened so fast i barely had time to register half of the camp or what was going on till i was in a pair of jeans that were slightly to big and a camp shirt that was a size to big. I stepped out of the infirmary bathroom and the girl just smiled at me.

"Looks like they fit. Don't worry your stuff will be in your cabin once your godly parent claims you. Probably by the end of the day. I'm Lucy by the way. I'm in the Apollo cabin." She talked so fast i could barely catch what she was saying and it made my head hurt just hearing it.

"Cool. Well what do I do now?" I asked s i tried not to make eye contact with her, she made feel like i was slow and it made me strangely slightly flustered and insulted at the same time.

"Well i guess just roam the camp. Try some of the activity's till you get claimed. But never be alone so we can see when it happens." Holy shit she talked fast. I'm pretty sure none of tat registered but i gave her a thumbs up and walked out  of the infermery.

I just walked around till i found what was the arena aperently. He Hermes cabin and the ares cabin were training. The boy from the beach was there and he was leading them all. I picked up a sword and practiced in the back. When it came to sparring it was sort of tournament style and i got to the last fight way to easily like it was second nature. I was against the ares kid.

Every time i slashed he side stepped and vice versa. That was until i did a lip over his head and kicked him to the floor. I didn't even know how i did it. I landed on my feet and put my sword to his throat while he was on the floor. "How's that for a fight" i said as i backed up and helped him up.

Everyone was staring at me. I just put the sword up and walked out. No claiming. I just kept walking around trying to figure where things were. If i had to do great things just to get claimed then why the hell wasnt i claimed already. I had somehow survived underwater and washed up on shore so wasn't that enough. Was i not enough for my godly parent. And was it a he or she. I had no memory of my lie before i washed up so it made it even harder. Maybe ill never be enough. Ill just have to try all my life to get some god to notice and care enough to tell someone I'm there's. This all seems so unfair.
