The landscape was dotted with buildings of Greek architecture, their white marble columns sparkling in the sun. In a nearby sandpit, a dozen Apollo campers and Satyrs played volleyball. Canoes glided across a small lake. Campers in bright orange T-shirts were chasing each other around a cluster of cabins nestled in the woods. Some shot targets at an archery range. Others rode pegasi down a wooded trail, the Golden Fleece hung on Thalia's tree even though it wasn’t Thalia anymore, and the tree was still the thing that kept the camp safe. A young Cyclops known as Tyson (Percy Jackson's brother…don’t ask) was sat reading with Ella the harpy. Connor remembered when they first turned up at camp, Camp Jupiter was under threat of a war in which Percy Jackson swooped in and saved the day - Gods that guy was a show off! Ella had somehow managed to memorize some special prophecies so she and Rachel Elizabeth Dare had been spending a lot of time together in Hera's cabin.

The weather was glorious, it always was since you can control the weather in the camp but today felt even more pleasant than normal. A perfect day for a prank! Connor was with his older brother Travis, they were both inseparable and often mistaken for twins, they were both sons of Hermes-Messenger of the gods and god of thieves and travellers, amongst other things- they used to stay in a crowded Hermes cabin, it was always full of demi-gods who hadn’t been claimed yet but thanks to Percy Jackson, the gods had sworn to claim their children by the age of 13 and all the minor gods had cabins now as well, but it wouldn't of happened if it wasn’t Ethan Nakamura's last dying wish. Ethan went over to Kronos side, he was the last half blood pledge they needed for Kronos to resurrect in full form, or more likely Luke Castellan's form, Hermes’ ex cabin counsellor, Luke sacrificed himself in the end to stop Kronos from rising fully, making Connor and Travis head counsellors of the Hermes Cabin. The perfect role models, Connor thought.

"Aw man I’m so excited to prank the Ares cabin tonight!" Connor squealed.

"Dude its Thursday, we’re pranking Apollo tonight." Travis replied.

"Oh right yeah, well I'm so excited to prank the Apollo cabin tonight!"

Travis let out a mischievous laugh.

"Come on let's get the cabin inspections over with otherwise Chiron might use us for one of his weird potions or even worse…search our cabin for our pranking supplies!"

Travis and Connor shivered in unison and headed to the cabins.

Their first stop was the Aphrodite cabin, as usual it was spotless, even the clothes were colour coordinated it was definitively worth a 5 but since Drew Tanaka (Head of Aphrodite in place of Piper McLean who was out on a big quest) was being an utter Apollo's cow Connor and Travis decided to give them a 4. They continued going from cabin to cabin, giving Ares a 1 since that place smelled of sweat and anger, Iris a 4 - it was worth a 3 but that Butch scared the freaky deakys out of Connor even if his mum was the Goddess of rainbows. They finally reached the Big Three cabins in which 2 were vacant; they headed for the Poseidon Cabin when they heard people arguing. Connor and Travis exchanged looks as if telepathically saying "dude, we should listen" they both smiled cheekily and headed to the door. When they slowly popped their head round the door they realised it was Clarisse La Rue and Rachel Dare.

"You little red headed nightmare! You're a fake!" Clarisse screamed.

"Clarisse I told you, prophecies don't work like that, please stop yelling!" Rachel pleaded.

"Chris is out there on a dangerous quest and he hasn't iris messaged me for 3 days! I need to know if he's okay! What if he's dead or gone insane again! You're meant to be the oracle! I thought you could tell the future!" She yelled.

"Clarisse I get you're upset! I know how you feel, I mean I have Annabeth out on the most dangerous quest ever looking for Percy but I can't even see their future! Like I said oracles don't work that way, I can't control it!"

"Oh please like you know what I'm going through! You were never in a relationship with Percy because he chose Annabeth over you!"

Rachel's face went as red as her hair.

"Now listen here you ugly, no good, daughter of a war God!"

At that moment Travis stumbled and fell into Connor, Connor tumbled forward bursting through the door and landing at the feet of the angry chicks. Clarisse drew her sword and put it under Connor's chin. Her breathe punched Connor in the face, her nostrils steaming like the Minotaur, her eyes filled with fire like her father's.

"What do you think you're doing, Stoll!"

"Uhh..." Connor swallowed and sweat dripped from his forehead. Rachel pushed the blade away in which Clarisse retaliated and cut Rachel's arm.

"Argh!" Rachel fell to the floor. Clarisse stopped for a moment, her face upset, she took a deep breath and stormed out the room pushing Travis over in the process. Connor ran to see if Rachel was okay.

"I'm fine." she winced. "Next time you decide to eavesdrop, don't." She got up and walked out the cabin.
