Percy Jackson: New Friends

Chapter 2: Earth's POV

Chapter 2: Earth's POV

First of all: my name. It's unique and I like it. I've been to Camp Half-Blood since I was 9. People never say "Cool!" They all just go to Annabeth because she's been there since she was seven. A little while ago, Annabeth, Percy, and I had gotten into a big fight. That's why I don't like them. Now, on with the story...

"Earth!" my fellow Apollo campers called to me. I started to walk over there. I was the senior counselor.

"Hey!" I said. I sat down between two other campers.

"What are our activities today?" a girl named Fay asked.

"Um...Let's see. We have the lava climbing wall, archery, and Greek classes," I replied. "Let's get started!" I said. All the Apollo campers got up for our activities. I grabbed my awesome backpack and followed them. You might have wondered why I would bring a backpack. Well, it transforms into a bow and arrows or two daggers. I absolutely would die if I lost it.

The lava wall was first, I climbed up easily, but Fay had some troubles. I had to go back down to help. "Thanks," she muttered embarrassed.

"No problem," I said. Fay and some other campers had some cuts and burns, so the other Apollo campers healed them and set off to archery class. Archery was definitely one of my strengths. There were many targets very far away. This was a new challenge. Fay stood next to me. She was the first one to shoot. It missed by a long shot. I knew how she felt. When I had first gotten to Camp Half-Blood, I was awful too. I understood. It was my turn to shoot. I shot. Bullseye. Fay's mouth opened in surprise. I smiled. Yep, I was good. While the other campers practiced, I went to Chiron to talk to him. He had called me yesterday. It must be important, I thought.

When I got to the Big House, Chiron was waiting. His expression told me it was serious. I walked toward him. He motioned me to him.

"Let's talk," he said. We went into the meeting room where other senior counselors where. Some were just regular campers.

"Hi," I said. I sat beside a random camper that smelled like grapes.

"We have a very serious topic to discuss," Chiron said. "A certain god who was destroyed has come back. Another god is his secret weapon to destroying the earth. That means we have a quest. Rachel Dare, the Oracle of Delphi will be choosing." Butterflies in my stomach appeared. Maybe I'll be chosen.

"Xenia Morris," Rachel said. Dionysus looked surprised. "Earth Jupiai, Darci Zian, Cleon Ukinhaira, Adam Chipotle, Kat Cassia, Duke Quer, Maika, Alexandria Blaze, Ralph Johnson, and Destania Deodat. I was shocked. There were so many campers. Quests are usually only three. Three is very powerful. I hoped we wouldn't come back with just three left.

Then Chiron said, "You may go to Rachel Dare to receive your prophecy."
