Suddenly my eyes opened, I looked around and I was exactly where I passed out. But it didn't seem the same. The volleyball court was missing, the Demeter cabin didn't have its usual plants everywhere, and there was a gray mist floating around.

Two campers walked out of the Hermes Cabin. The taller one had the usual Hermes appearance; blonde hair, elvish ears, and piercings. The other had brown hair, dark eyes, and a couple cuts on his face. They obviously had different godly parents but, they had their similarities in their look. They both had clean cut hair and they had some sort of army uniform. The first one (Hermes kid) was obviously the leader. He wore a beige top coat with matching pants. The sleeves were long and had a goldish color lining. He wore a officer's visor hat. His coat had some badges on it; one of them had CHB on it. Another was Hermes's symbol, Caduceus. The other kid's was similar only it wasn't as "important" looking as the other. It was a plan beige top coat and matching pants. It didn't have any badges and he had a steel hat. As I thought about it more, those were WWI army uniforms.

"But General Barnes, we need your troops in Germany!" The brown haired kid told him.

"For the last time Mr. Hill, I'm sending my troops to Russia." General Barnes declared.

Mr. Hill looked a bit scared. General Barnes kept walking and said, "Ask General Bailey to send her troops to Germany."

Mr. Hill saluted, "Yes, Sir."

After General Barnes left, Mr. Hill cursed to himself. "Dammit, now I have to ask General Bailey where she is sending her troops."

He left. I felt very uncomfortable. My eyesight changed to somewhere else with Mr. Hill. He was in another cabin. Books, Maps, and papers were everywhere. Obviously, the Athena cabin. Mr. Hill and a woman in an outfit that looked like General Barnes's were talking.

"Uh, General Bailey..?" Mr. Hill asked, trying to get her attention.

General Bailey turned around to him and rolled her eyes. "What do you want Minor?"

"I would like to be addressed as Mr. Hill or Jeremy Hill, thank you." Mr. Hill told her.

"I will call you as I please and that means by your parent's type which is: Minor." She replied, rolling her eyes.

Mr. Hill sighed with irritation, "I just came to ask where you will be sending your troops."

"Great Britain," She told him. "Now leave, so I can work."

"General, we need your troops in Germany! I already asked General Barnes and he's sending his troops to---"

General Bailey stood up from her troops and walked up to Mr. Hill.

"I don't care where Joseph Barnes is sending troops! He can send his troop into a hurricane for all I care! Now leave before I throw you out myself."

Mr. Hill saluted her, "Yes-- Y-Yes General Bailey." He left politely.

My point of view changed, again. Now we were in a huge tent Mr. Hill was surrounded by what I think is friends. They were eating soup with crackers and talking.

"So Mary actually yelled at you for asking a question?" One said.

Hill nodded in reply, as he ate one of his crackers.

"I don't think that was necessary," Another told Hill. "I mean the information was for Chiron, not you in particular."

"I know you all mean well but, as she said we are just Minor demigods there is nothing we can do about it." Hill responded.

"I hate that the Major demigods think they are better than us," One protested. "Because they aren't!"

"Look guys, there is nothing we can do 'bout it," Someone in the corner said. "Minor demigods are a new concept to the Major demigods. Give em' time, they'll come around."

"I think he's right." Mr. Hill replied.

No one talked for awhile until, Mr. Hill's eyes lit up. They noticed his face and asked what was up.

"I just had the best idea," Mr. Hill started. "It'll change Minor demigod's lives!"

"Well what is it?" They asked.

"What if we make a Minor demigod camp? Kinda like Camp Half-blood only more modern." He suggested.

"That's a great idea," One started. "But how are we gonna get our point across to Chiron?"

Mr. Hill sighed, "That's the thing... I don't know."

My eyes suddenly opened. People were around me and the only people I recognized where Alexandria, Nolan, and Ayden. What was that dream and what did it mean? My head was pounding and my stomach was aching. Ayden's face was petrified, when he noticed my eyes had opened he pulled me into a hug. After Ayden let go of me, Alexandria walked up to me; she looked worried and probably felt responsible for what happened.

"Why didn't you tell me you didn't feel good?" She asked me.

"I didn't know I felt that way until it happened." I explained, now feeling normal.

"You scared the living shit out of me!" Ayden screamed.

"I'm sorry dude," I started. "Anyway, how long have I been out?"

"Just an hour and a half," Nolan told me. "Breakfast will be starting soon."

The nurse handed Nolan a plastic bag of two yellowish squares, "Have him eat one before breakfast."

Nolan nodded and helped me to breakfast. Surprisingly, Ayden snuck his way with us without getting in trouble. I couldn't help but laugh.

For breakfast, I grabbed bacon and pancakes and got Ayden some eggs and a cinnamon roll. After awhile of eating, I got up and put the food into the fire and started to walk back to my table. People stopped dead in their tracks as they walked by. I was real confused until I reached my table and sat down. Everyone's face is in utter shock.

"What?" I asked.

"Chip," Nolan started. "Do you not see?"

"No...." I responded.

Ayden pointed up. I looked up and saw a couple of clouds, a moon and stars. Color changing eyes in the middle.

"You're a child of Morpheus..." Alexandria said.
