Heroic Spirits Of Olympus: The Lost Hero

"Umu"

Reaching this "Camp" place proved quite quick and easy. The Pegasi were able to fly so quickly that Nero could hardly believe that these horses were technically not very aerodynamic. 

It was a beautiful looking place, Dense forests, lovely creeks, rolling green hills filled with what appeared to be some rather fun places. 

A Rock Climbing wall with real lava? What better way to test one's physical ability!? A  battle arena? For gladiators no doubt? Glorious!  A Chariot Race Track? Charmente! A ... Monster Truck Derby..? Okay, well that seemed cool too.

When they landed there were a number of teens and college age kids in orange t-shirts as well as odder fellows waiting to meet them. 

"Annabeth!" said one of the campers. "Did you find her..!? Was it-?"

"No.." said Annabeth as she dismounted her Pegasus. "No it wasn't her.. we got somebody who looks a lot like her though.. different Heroic Spirit though.."

"Who is it?" asked a rather handsome looking man dressed in the full armor of a british knight. 

"Her name's Nero, not sure on much beyond that Gawain." said Annabeth as Nero dismounted the Pegasus she and Piper had been riding. 

"Nero?" growled Gawain. "You can't mean Nero Claudius.. the Whore of Babylon..?"

"Gawain!" snapped Scathach. "I can't believe I am asking this of you of all people.. but manners!"

"Wh.. what did the knight dude just call Nero?" said Leo. 

"Forget about it." said Annabeth. "It's better if we get you to Chiron so he can-"

"Annabeth!" A boy ran over, pushing through the crowd. He was a handsome one in Nero's opinion, possessing a fit body and grace of a well suited warrior. And his red hair looked rich with health.  "Did you-.."

The boy stopped in his tracks and stared at Nero, then he bowed his head, disappointed. "Oh.. you're not her.."

Nero could not help but feel absolutely insulted by the disappointment in the boy's voice. Surely whoever this Saber person was rather glorious no doubt.. but to express disappointment upon looking upon a beautiful girl..ludicrous!

One of the campers appraised Leo and Piper. "Half bloods? So old? Why haven't they been claimed?"

"Not too sure on that either Will.." said Scathach. "They were the ones we put under the watch of Sakata Kintoki.."

"Where is Kintoki?" asked Will with a frown. "I was hoping he'd be-."

Scathach shook her head. "Kidnapped, by the Dragon Witch we've been getting reports on..hopefully he survived, but his outlook doesn't look too good.."

"Come on, Chiron's waiting." said Annabeth, nodding at Nero. "Sorry Shirou.. I know.. we'll find her."

"Oh my god this place is so whacked out!" said Leo. "I mean did you see that Monster Truck Derby? I mean seems out of place considering all the other things you have here.. but MAN a Monster Truck Derby!"  

"Arturia requested that for her sister Mordred last year." said Annabeth. "It's pretty cool actually, everyone's allowed to drive around regularly .. but nobody gets on the track when Mordred's driving, she gets a little merciless when she's behind the wheel. "

"So.. what is this place?" Nero asked. "Umu.. great aesthetics aside, I feel we deserve an explanation."

"On the way here you told me you had amnesia right?" asked Annabeth. "Sorry, but your situation will be a bit more complicated, it's better if Chiron explains it directly to you.. I mean I've had some experience with amnesiac people of your sort before, but your situation is a bit more inexplicable..  as for you two.. Leo.. Piper.. that's a bit simpler."
