~flash-back~
I felt so confused. One second I'm living a somewhat normal life, and the next I'm in a random camp with random people playing with swords and fighting monsters.
Leo had volunteered to show me around 'camp'. The more we walked around, the weirder it got.
"So over here is the Pegasus stables," he pointed to a little, wooden building with some winged horses chowing down on some hay.
"Pegasus. You have Pegasus?" I asked, even more confused than before.
"Pegasi." he corrected, much to my annoyance. He then gestured to a smaller building" and here is the armory, that obviously holds armor and weapons."
"Okay then." was all I could think to say. He apparently found this funny, as he started chuckling. When I didn't join in the 'fun', awkwardness settled over us.
"Ehem, here is the arena, where we train and such. There are the cabins. The big white one is the Zeus cabin," He gestured to a tall white building with cloud and lighting details,"The one beside that is Hera's," it was white like the other but had peacock designs instead of lightning and clouds.
" To the left is the Poseidon cabin." The Poseidon cabin was a square building with blue, grey, and green decor.
"After that is Ares cabin. look out for those guys. They like weapons and carnage. They would happily rip your head off."
"Oh alright. I'm so loving this place! All the deadly weapons and murderous people running amuck! Oh yeah not scared for my life at all!" I said sarcastically.
"You forgot the pegasi ready to kick your face in, but hey that's the spirit!" He clapped me on the back and kept it there for the rest of the 'tour'. He then nodded to a square fixture, with little smiling suns and guitars all over the place,"That's the Apollo cabin. They like music and light and poetry and cows whatever. Not that exciting. But the real fun happens next door." He then jumped in front of me, looking very excited,"Behold! The most creative and unique cabin at Camp half-blood, home to yours truly." he put a hand on his chest before turning, quite dramatically, toward a very impressive looking cabin, with wires and gears, levers and triggers all around it, and decorating the outside. You could hear the hammers at work, reshaping metal, and could feel the heat, melting it.
"The Hephaestus cabin! Need a new sword? The Hephaestus cabin can help you with that! Need some random machine to do your laundry, homework, or clean your house? Team Hephaestus for the win!" He exclaimed.
"I'm gunna take a wild guess, and say you live here?" I asked and he just nodded happily.
We proceeded with the tour: Hermes, Hades, Isis, Nemeses, Nike, Hebe, Tyche, Hecate, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, and Demeter.
"And that's Camp half-blood." He concluded as we walked back to the Big House to talk to Chiron, whoever that is, I thought.
