The First Demigods

Prologue

A small group of campers was gathered around the campfire, talking, chatting, sharing stories, just having fun really. After the whole debacle with the Titans, a little relaxation was necessary.

"Wait wait wait-" Colin paused to quiet his laughter at his brother's story before continuing. "They had a paint war back when they were building the arena? And Ms. Kaykrae got covered in paint?"

Ritchie nodded even as he and Michael let out a chuckle of their own at the memory. Kaykrae was glaring at the two while the rest of the demigods were howling with laughter.

It took a few minutes before Daveed decided to ask.

"Isn't the arena supposed to be really old though? How was Ms. Snake Lady alive back then, for that matter how do you two know about it?"

While Kaykrae glared at him for the snake last comment, Ritchie just shrugged and said. "I mean I was the first demigod in the camp, I was there when it was being built, so was Michael."

"Wait, you mean- exactly how old are you guys?" Jakey asked sounding shocked.

Michael, Ritchie, and Kaykrae exchanged glances before Ritchie said. "I'm about 413, same as the camp."

The campers started sputtering at that even as Michael said. "412, he just managed to beat me."

Ritchie nudged his shoulder teasingly, making the other demigod grin even as Kaykrae said. "I'm older than them and that's all you're gonna get from me regarding that rude question."

Jakey blushed a little in embarrassment from that comment while all the other demigods were staring at them in shock.

"How the heck is that even possible?" Colin asked in confusion.

"Let's just say it was a gift from the gods, to tell you the story would take way too long." Ritchie chuckled even as his eyes went misty from the memories.

"I mean we got all night." Mario pointed out, curious as to what the story could be. The other campers nodded in agreement, all of them quite interested to know how they could have gotten such a gift from the gods. Michael, Ritchie, and Kaykrae exchanged glances before Michael said. "Well, I guess we could tell you the story, keep in mind, however, it is a long one."

"C'mon Mama Bear, Dada bear, tell us!" Austin said with a grin, making Ritchie chuckle as Michael shook his head at the son of Apollo. 

"Alright then, to tell this story, we'll have to start from the beginning. Kay? You want to take this part?" The son of Hermes asked the head counselor. 

"Sure," Kaykrae said, not phased. "To go back to the very beginning, we'd have to go back to when the Oracle was first brought here, as well as Ritchie..." 

AN: Alright so new book! I'm really excited about this one as I have so many ideas! I hope you guys enjoy this throwback to Origins of Olympus!
