"How did you do that?" Travis asks, as we arive at archery. He was obviously talking about our seperate duel, and not the one where I disarmed half of the Hermes cabin in a minute (The whole Cabin in a minute and a half. Boom). There were some serious ninja moves in that one.

"I don't know, I was just angry." I reply.

"Angry doesn't make rattlesnakes appear."

"Ready?" Chiron asks.

I nod. I reach for a bow, but something stops me. I stand by the targets. There those wooden ones on wheels with the painted on targets.

"Umm, Jas? You dont throw rocks at the targets" Chiron says. As soon as he says that, a wooden bow shimmers into my hands. It's decorated in delicate swirls that look like wind, and fits perfectly in my hands. The bow is in perfect condition, and it feels like its ready to shoot some arrows. Speaking of arrows, a sheath of them appear on my back. I take one out and examine them. There pretty much regular arrows, except the arrow head is like a glowing silver. Chiron just stares.

"Well, you have a bow. Let's see if you can shoot." He says.

I load in an arrow, and pull back the string. I take a deep breath, and fire.

Bullseye.

"Nice!" Chiron smiles.

I get a crazy idea.

"Expirament time" I say. I run, straight towards the target, and load an arrow. As soon as I get to the target, I use it like a springboar and soar into the air. I do a backflip. In mid-flip I fire my arrow, then land on my knees.

My arrow is in the 3 pointer area, only about a cemtimeter from the bullseye. Only Chiron doesn't have his mouth wide open, flabbergasted.

"Well, dinner will be soon, and we can't rule out Apollo" He says. He doesn't know about my father. Just then, a horn blares out across the camp. Everyone lines up, me being dead last. We treck to the dining pavilon, all the other cabins coming too. We sit down at the Hermes table, and pile food onto our plates. Im about to chomp on my chips when everyone starts walking over to the fire. I line up behind Travis, and show him my confused face.

"Sacrafice to the gods. They like the smell."

He says. The smell? Really? You would think the gods would eat something like, edible gold fudge? I notice everyone is throwing in the juciest steak, the crispiest apples, the tenderest sausages. I scrape in my potatoes, and I gasp. It's like nothing ive ever smelt. It smells like chips, chocolate, jelly beans, roses, and a bunch of other things that would of been disgusting, but they blended together perfectly. I could have stayed there all day, but people where behind me, so I sat down and ate. After 5 minutes I realised how thirsty I was. I peered into my goblet.

"Say any drink, non-alchohilic" Conner says, sliding up to me.

"Vanilla Coke" I tell it. Vanilla Coke shimmered into the goblet. I drank thirstily. I hardly looked up, until I spotted him.

He had black curly hair, brown eyes, and wore a tool belt. I swear he just pulled out some breath mints. But the boy was... Beautiful.

"Who is he?" I ask Conner, pointing to the boy.

"That is Leo Valdez. Son of Hephaetus, Can control fire, Hero of Olympus." He replies, swallowing a bunch of potatoes. Interesting. "Side note. He's single. But don't let that get in the way of us" Conner said, smiling and wiggling his eyebrows. I swear I puke in my mouth.

"Really Conner. No. Just no. Nonononono. no."

"Dam it!" He says. I stare at Leo. He's so cute. I dont eat alot after that. He spots me and winks. I reply by blushing and smiling.

Chiron stands up and stomps his hoove. Really loudly. We look at him.

"Now. Two important notices. One, is that we have a new camper. Introducing Jasmine Dragonite!" Chiron says, gesturing me to come up. I nervously stood up, and walked to the front.

"Claimed?" Someone asks.

"It's obvious she's not, otherwise she would be sitting with the Aphrodite kids." Conner shouts, winking at me. I facepalm.

"Conner, shut up. And no." I say.

"Well, interesting to get to know people." Chiron says. I sit down again.

"Also, Capture the Flag is tommorow, and it will be lead by... The Hecate and Ares Cabins! So start getting your alliences ready!"

Chiron announces. Everyone cheers.

"Now, hop along to your campfire! Ill see you there!" Chiron says. As everyone gets up, I see Clarisse go to Percy, ask him something, and Percy shakes his head. She grunts, and walks off. Percy goes to a Hecate cabin child, and she nods. He smiles and walks off. I guess thats making an alliance for Capture the Flag. When we sit on the campfire logs, I sit by Percy and another boy.

"Nico Di Angelo, Jasmine. Jasmine, Nico Di Angelo." Percy says, introducing us to each other. We shake hands.

"Nice to meet you. Im the Son of Hades."

He says casually, as if every day theres just a child of death walking into this place.

"Dont judge him by his parents." Percy whispers. I nod. Someone from the Hecate Cabin asks if Nico wants to join there alliance.

"If I get extra-dessert for a week." He says, shaking hands with her. She looks at me.

"Hi Jasmine! I'm Lou Ellen, Cabin counseller of Hectae Cabin" She puts her hand out.

I shake it. "Nice to meet you"

"Hey! I didn't ask for anything to be on your team!" Percy exclaims.

"That's because your a Kelp Head, Percy. The only things that are in there are fish" I joke. We burst out laughing.

She goes over to the Valdez boy and Conner. Led by the Apollo cabin, we sing some cheesy campfire songs, but people walked around to sit and goss with others. At one point we were singing about a granny who lost her panties in a war. Strangest song I've ever heard.

It was funny when the Apollo cabin started singing 'Thrift Shop,' The whole Camp joined in! About 30 minites later, Chiron stamped his hooves, and everyone sat down. Except me.

"It's time for you to be claimed, Jasmine Dragonite." Chiron said. He knelt. I have no idea how he did it with horse legs. It looks like it hurts.

"Oh gods and godesses of Olympus, show us who this daughter belongs too." He chants. Then, everyone looks at my head.

A cresent moon and a star symbol are hovering above my head. But there was also something else.

Half a trident.

Everyone knelt.

"Here is a daughter of Hecate, godess of magic and potion. And the child of the son of Posiedon"

"What?!" Percy gasps.
