Odyssa sighed, packing up her orange shirt into her suitcase. This had been the first time she'd left camp. She hadn't thought leaving would be on her agenda this year, but she had things she needed to do.
"Miss Creston, are you ready to go?" Chiron knocked on her cabin door. She folded the last of her clothes, turning to the centaur with a smile.
"Yes, Chiron," she said, taking one last glance at the leather bag propped on her back. If she was going to leave camp, she'd have to leave behind her sister's things too.
"You are not going to be taking your sister's things with you?" Chiron asked with confusion written on his face.
"They're a sort of waiting present for me when I come back for the summer." Odyssa gazed fondly at the crushed music box.
"Hey, hey, hey." Mr. D entered the cabin, "Ophelia c'mon it's time to get out!"
She didn't bother correcting him, it wasn't like he'd listen anyway. "Alright, Mr. D," Odyssa said, brushing past the two adults.
"Odyssa!" A familiar voice called out. Odyssa chuckled, rolling her eyes slightly.
"Hey, Will!" Odyssa smiled as Will came up to her.
"You're really leaving?" He asked and Odyssa nodded.
"Of course I am, I've got to do more than just sit around here at camp." She said and Will huffed.
"And you'll come back next year?" The blonde asked and Odyssa ruffled his hair a bit with a fond smile.
"Of course, that's a promise I'll always keep." The child of Artemis waved goodbye to her cousin. "I'll see you, alright?! Make sure the Apollo kids don't go around touching my stuff!"
"Will do!" Will saluted her as she made her way to the edge of camp once again. She squinted slightly, spotting two figures conversing near the pine tree.
"Hey." Odyssa smiled as she came up to the two.
"How're you feeling?" Annabeth asked and Odyssa shrugged.
"Much better, ambrosia's a life-saver, y'know?" She smiled.
"You're gonna remember to write to me, right?" Percy asked and Odyssa nodded.
"Of course, I'll send you some gifts on the way." She grinned before turning to Annabeth, "And I'll be writing to you and Grover too so you guys better answer."
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." Annabeth smiled.
"Guys! Guys!" Grover's voice called out to the three of them, he scrambled towards them with the brightest smile Odyssa'd ever seen him wearing.
"You got it?" Percy asked and Grover nodded, "Where is it?"
Grover moved the side of his jacket to reveal a green peony pinned on his chest. Odyssa clapped softly at the sight. "Is that your Searcher's license?" Percy asked.
"Yeah. Officially authorized to begin the quest for Pan!" Grover exclaimed with excitement. Odyssa chuckled at his happy state.
"Where are you gonna start?" Annabeth asked.
"Well, it seems like every inch of the natural world's been checked, noted, and footnoted. Then checked again. The Council's theory is that Pan is always on the move, and it's all about timing." Grover rambled, "But... No one's ever bothered to check the seas."
"I know some people in management out there if you ever need some help..."
"I'll find you." Grover smiled at Percy before turning to Odyssa, "Oh, yeah! Also, one of the Hephaestus kids said they'd fix the music box for you! It was really bashed up when I found it but it'll probably be fixed when you get back."
