Time Into Time (Dicontinued)

Chapter 3

"Wait a minute, all of those Greek Myths are real?" I ask dumfounded. We still stand near the entrance to the camp.

"Yes, for worse or for better. I am a satyress, a female satyr. You however, are a demigod, and a special one at that, you have two godly parents." Vasilia explains

"How does that work? Wouldn't that make me a god?"

"In olden times it would but nowadays gods aren't born, it's very rare for there to be one added, and that's only for demigods who have done a great service and are offered immortality. So now, we just get really powerful demigods"

"You said I was a special demigod, there are less special?"

"Yes, with only one godly parent. They go to either Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter depending on if they have a Roman or Greek parent"

"Aren't they the same?"

"Yes and No. Same basic concept but the Roman Gods were a little different than the Greek. Ares in Greek form is more of a bloodthirsty manly man, Mars is more controlled in a way, more disciplined for example"

"I guess that makes sense. But how do monsters find us?"

"They smell you, certain creatures and monsters, like me, can smell things like that"

"So how come they didn't find me earlier?"

"Because although technically you should be gods but aren't, the Gods of Olympus decided to give you a blessing until you turn 13, that you won't be smelt"

"So that's why I was attacked at midnight" Vasilia nods, "Wait, so how did you find me?"

"Your mother knew, so she sent for me"

"A goddess? Which one?"

"No, your mortal mother, by the way, the gods just give Doubles to a mortal they like"

"Doubles?"

"Double-Parented Demigods"

"Oh. I guess that makes sense. So who are my godly parents?"

"We don't know yet, they have to claim you" 

"Claim?"

"A sign saying you are that god's child"

I nod, "So where-"

Vasilia interrupts me, "Oh right! You need a tour! Follow me"

I laugh softly at the satyress' antics but follow nonetheless, "What's that?"

"Shh! I'm giving the tour, that is the main house, the bottom floor is where we eat, the other 29 floors are changeable for training and meeting and games and such"

"Training?"

"Yes, we train you in case the camp gets attacked or you have to a quest for something"

"Oh"

Vasilia leads me towards the main house, and points in front of me, to the left and to the right, "Those are where the cabins are, there are about 16 in each direction, 48 in total, but only about 20 are filled. Everyone else died.", I can't tell if she's joking, "Each person gets their own cabin, unless you want to share but people don't really share cabins"

She leads me to the right and points towards a marble arena, "That's the Colosseum, not the actual Roman one, we have a campfire and s'mores over there for after dinner, this is a camp after all"

"Fun"

She points the other way, "Those are the stables for pegasi and other animals"

"Pegasi?"
