The four of us trekked down the hill, towards a pile of cords wrapped around Thalia's tree. We had already had your usual camp tour ya know , lava walls , sparring arenas , all introduced by Will, and a few minimal sarcastic comments from Nico and me. But on the hill something caught my eye and I insisted to go there and ignored the various advise not to.

We arrived and I stepped a little closer, the others stayed at a distance. I looked closer and took another step. I felt a strong arm around my abdomen. " This is a warning once more, don't go" It was Nico. Awww he wuvs me. I smirked and said " Aww Di Angelo I'm touched ,truly, But save your breath " I wink at him and he releases me. " Whatever" He says rolling his eyes. " Don't say I didn't warn you." I shrug and take another step. The cords transform in front of my startled eyes into a 70 ft Dragon. "Wow Peleus has grown since he last attacked me" I hear Will mutter.

"Very helpful info Will" I retorted. And I marched right up to the sleeping dragon an inspected it. It scales were a beautiful shade of blue and green. I was so mesmerized by the shimmering translucent scales that I just had to know what it felt like..... See that , that there that's my mistake. As soon as I laid a finger on it's scaly hide , it's eyes flashed open and stood taller and taller, until I thought my eyes were gonna pop out. Then it roared , wind and spit showered my face making my hair fly backwards. " Amara , Get back!" Angela shouted " N-No it won't hurt me" I say. "Oh , really than why're you stuttering " I hear Nico mutter , I could here the smirk in his sentence. I'd show him. "Just , Stay back, I know what I'm doing" Nico snorted and I glared at him.

I took a step towards the creature slowly carefully. It let me stroke it's snout, He let out a tiny breath  of fire , downwards , thank the gods and nuzzled me. My three "companions" stood mouth agape in pure shock. " T-time to go" Nico said. " Now who's  stuttering " I say , pushing past him.

I'd wanted to watch the sunset from the hill, it reminded me of..... him. My Dad and me used to watch sunsets all the time together. That's why now I watch them every time , each and every one. I imagine he's watching them to ......somewhere. Suddenly Nico's beside me " Beautiful isn't it?" I say "Yeah it is" He says in a far of world, Then I catch him staring  at me, he saw I caught him  and gazed downward ,blushing slightly. My face heated up. " We should get to the campfire" He says gently, still blushing. OK, he sooo wuvs me. Squeal!

The campfire was bomb. Me and Angela sat on opposite sides of Will. He was playing his guitar while we sang some old campfire song " Ye Silly Old  Drunken Satyrs ".  We had a conga line ( started by yours truly). It was fun. Then a purple erie light flashed above  Angela's head. It looked like a potion. Everyone bowed " All hail Angela Harrison ,Daughter of Hecate"At first she looked confused , then she smiled brightly. Then a few other newbies were claimed, and we were about to head back, when everyone suddenly stared at me. " Oh my Gods " some blond chick said. " It couldn't be" said a black-haired boy with green eyes. " All hail Amara Heart , Daughter of Artemis, Blessed by all twelve Olympians" Isn't Artemis a maiden goddess. How can she be my mom? How can I be blessed by all twelve Olympians? What? Oh gods...
