The next few minutes are blurry. I don't remember much, except that I survived. My vision turned foggy and all I could see was that a furry man who looked like a goat came in, and that the... whatever turned into clay. Then I fell asleep.
I didn't know why, a minute ago I was not in the least sleepy. But somehow I fell asleep and let the angel saviour-goat fight.
When I woke up I was in the back of a car. In the driver's seat a teenager who looked like a hippie. He's hair was long, his clothes were loose, his skin was tan and he was wearing a hat. In the passenger's seat was my mom, Raven Foramen. She was wearing a black shirt with dark blue jeans. Her hair was tied up in a messy ponytail, and just like mine, as dark as black can get. It surprised me that she wasn't either drunk or in the bar.
-"He's awake" she said in that sweet, low voice of hers.
Then another much calmer and informal voice replied
-"Good, that spell should have been broken almost half an hour ago."
-"Who are you?" I asked.
I had a million questions, but that was the first, and most important one.
-"My name is Shaggy O'donnel" he said.
-"Shaggy!" My mom said "he must have a thousand questions, I'm sorry, dear."
-"Where are we going?" I asked
She took a moment to answer.
-"We are going to camp, it is only safe"
-"Camp? Safe? Mom, what are you talking about? What were those creatures in the basement?"
-"Earthborns" Shaggy replied. "Kids of Gaia, they are 7-8 feet tall, have six arms, can make rocks appear on their hands and turn into clay when you kill them, anything else?"
-"Thanks, but I already figured that out"
-"We are going to place for... Special kids. It is called Camp Half-Blood" my mom said
-"Special like... Crazy?" I asked
-"No." She answered
-"Who killed Arj, the earthborn?" I asked
-"Me, with my pan pipes" the goatman said
-"What are you?" I asked
-"Nathan!" My mom said
-"It's ok, I'm a satyr" Shaggy said
I had almost 173626182 more questions, but suddenly the car stopped.
"We are here!" The satyr said.
I wasn't sure I heard him right. We were in a pine tree forest in who knows where, there was definitely no camp nearby.
-"Here, where?" I said
-"In camp, duh!" He said
-"Shaggy! I'm sorry for confusing you Nate, Camp Half-Blood is deep in the forest, you guys walk from now on" My mom explained
-"You aren't coming?" I asked
-"No, no mortals aloud in Camp" the guy said.
-"What? Mortals? What are you talking about?" I asked
-"You'll see" he promised.
And with that, off we went into the forest.
