want." He continued. "You know, uh.." He trailed off. "You! Uh, me. who cares!" He said. Grover inhaled slightly, knowing he couldn't say anything to offend the god. She heard the clacking of hooves as Chiron arrived, it turned out that his wheelchair was his hooves after all...

The old man clicked his tongue as he approached. "Percy." He nodded at him. Meanwhile Percy looked like he was about to faint in confusion. "Mr. Brunner?" He said to the man in confusion as he approached. Grover interrupted their conversation. "Uh. Mr. Brunner's real name is Chiron. Camp activities director, immortal trainer of heroes, he is—" Chiron stopped him. "Grover, thank you. I'll take it from here." He reassured the boy as he approached her and Percy.

He looked over at the boy. "Oh, Percy. This must be a lot for you to process. Eurydice already had a head start over here. But otherwise she's as clueless as you are currently." Percy blanked out for a second. "Oh. no. It's- it's fine. I mean, you're a horse." He answered sarcastically. "My father won't talk to me unless I get him a drink. Well. this all seems totally normal." He sounded completely done with everything. The old man shook his head at him. "Oh. no, no, no. no. Mr. D isn't your father." He reassured him.

She finally let out a laugh. "See? I was trying i tell you." Percy stared at her in some annoyance. "Seriously?" Mr. D scoffed. "I could be." He muttered. Chiron looked at him annoyed. "Yes, but are you?" He asked him with a narrow of his eyebrows. The god rolled his eyes in response. "Why must you ruin everything?" He asked him with a frustrated look. Chiron groaned in annoyance. "Mr. D knows that Zeus has forbidden him from consuming alcohol. And that demigods are able to do things for gods that gods are forbidden to do." He explained.

"Mr. D was taking advantage of that." Chiron finished with a sigh. Eurydice snorted. A god of alcohol who wasn't allowed to drink any, that was ironic wasn't it? "Don't laugh at me girl!" The god glared at her slightly. Chiron looked at him with a disappointed look, before he turned to her and Percy. "Eurydice, Percy. Walk with me, and we'll start again. Hm?" He motioned for them to follow him.

Grover was about to follow along with them as Chiron shook his head at him. "Uh, Grover. Please give us a moment." He smiles a him reassuringly as he stepped away hesitantly. She winced as she smiled at Grover, trying to tell him that they'd be fine. The two followed Chiron as he walked down the path with them. She stared in awe of all her surroundings as she stared at the fields that looked like they could go in forever around the camp. The camp was extremely large and surrounded by kids all in orange Camp half blood shirts.

She assumed that everyone wore orange because it was easier to find someone wearing a bright colour.. in case of anything. There was a waterfall beyond the fields as crossed paths were situated around the field with other campers littered around the fields. "This is a sacred valley. Humans can't see it." Chiron explained one at a time. "Monsters can't enter it. The world can't touch it." They walked farther, near a large statue of a god she didn't recognize. The camp was huge! There were so many places that she couldn't even begin to explain as she swerved her head around to look at all of her surroundings.

She felt slightly overwhelmed, but the camp was just too beautiful for her to feel scared. "Great care was taken to bring both of you here." He informed them as they watched another Satyr like Grover near a few kids who seemed to be picking strawberries. Strawberries weren't her favourite fruit.. but she can see the appeal of picking them. "And great sacrifice." The horse man continued. She stared in confusion at the turnabout sign reading a few of the gods names. "What are those?" She asked in confusion. The man smiled. "Those are pointing where our activities are located." He answered her patiently.

She nodded in some understanding. She was confused to where they would be sleeping if the cabins were separated by their parents. It seemed like the only way it could work with this many kids at the camp. "There's something I gotta tell you." Percy said to Chiron. "I.. uh. Lost your pen.. sword thingy." He muttered to him, when Eurydice remembered the keychain Chiron had mysteriously given to her. She wondered what that was about if what Chiron had given to Percy was a sword.. then what was hers?

Percy winced. "Hopefully that wasn't your only one." He said. Chiron didn't seem worried and said to him. "Check your pocket." He smiled. Percy sighed. "No, I've- I lost it the other night, on the hill." He muttered. The man repeated. "Check your pocket." She and Percy shared confused looks as the boy rummaged through his pockets. "Unless you surrender it. It will always find its way back to you." He explained to Percy.

She gasped. "That's so cool! Percy!" She smiled at him excitedly. "Magical objects don't obey the physical laws of the ordinary world." He explained to them with a nod. "Your pen, my wheelchair. Eurydice's keychain. They're all a part of your parent's world. As as the both of you now." He informed them with a smile. She grinned slightly. "Wait, so I have a weapon like that too??" She gasped in excitement as she was about to take it out of her pocket.

The older man stopped her. "Ah, ah. Only take it out in your time of need." He said wisely as she retracted her hand back out of her pocket. Chiron spoke again suddenly. "I have something to show the two of you." He muttered to them as he walked fowards. "Twelve cabins. For twelve Olympian gods." He started, as she lolled at the gigantic cabins in awe. A large turnabout was pointing at each cabin and the god they belonged to. "Each cabin is home to the children that god has claimed." She blinked in confusion at those words. Claimed? What did that mean?

She watches as the other campers went along their everyday lives as her and Percy looked around. Percy seemed somewhat relieved. "Great. Which one am I?" He asked in confusion. Chiron sighed deeply. "You haven't been claimed. Percy." He told him. Eurydice stared at him in confusion. "Wait.. so we need to be claimed in order to get a cabin..?" She said nervously in confusion. "What if... we never get claimed." She muttered nervously to the man.

Chiron looked at her sadly. "It can happen. But I am sure your father will claim you, Eurydice. Whoever he may be." Percy looked confused still. "Well, when do I get claimed?" He asked. Chiron winced. "Well, the gods reveal their design in their own time, not before." He explained. "Your father might claim you tomorrow, it might be next week. It might be—" Percy interrupted him. "Like what you said before. Never." He sounded frustrated at the fact that his father would reject him even more.

She winced, touching the side of Percy's arm softly. "Hey- it's okay Perce." She reassured him, but he ripped her hand away. "Even now, he still wants nothing to do with me." He muttered angrily. "What am I'm even doing here? There's no place for me here! I bet Eurydice is gonna get claimed before me." Chiron sighed at his time. "There is a place for you. Here..." He motioned towards the cabin in front of them. "Hermes, god of travelers." He said. "His cabin is home to both his own children, and the unclaimed." He muttered as they walked inside of the cabin together.

There was slight chatter of the other campers in the Hermes' cabin as they stepped inside. "Everyone, everyone!" He addressed the cabin. "Wait- wait a minute." Percy tried to stop him.
But instead the man only clapped his hands together to address the cabin. "Everyone, your attention please." The campers in their cabin went silent as Chiron spoke, staring at her and Percy. "This is Percy Jackson and Eurydice Ramirez." Chiron put his hands into the two children's shoulders. "I trust you will see to whatever they need." He smiled, and as soon as he had finished the campers in the cabin went back to what they were doing before.

She sighed in relief, at least getting new campers wasn't that big of a deal for them. Chiron looked at the two of them. "I know you feel powerless right now Percy. But you're not, all will reveal itself in time. For you as well Eurydice." He smiled at them reassuringly as he left the cabin. Finally leaving her and Percy alone together for the first time since, well. Everything.

She and Percy silently walk towards the center of the cabin, she's surprised that their bags were already there waiting for them. Percy kneeled down to open his bag in confusion as Eurydice held her own in front of her as she stood up, just observing it. Percy sighed to himself as he pulled out some blue candy out of his bag. He looked sad, maybe it made him think of his mom. Sally would always go out to get him blue candy. Sometimes Percy would even share the ones he got sent to him from Yancy with her.

She turned around to hear one of the older callers whisper something. "That's the kid, I think hes the one who killed the Minotaur. And his little girlfriend I think, people are saying she saved him." She turned her head around to look at the campers in confusion. For a second she thinks she forgot to breath because of how stunned she was. Seriously why did they say that out of all the things they could have said.

Percy didn't seem to be paying attention until the last minute when the leader of the group of guys walked towards them. It looked like they were around to pick a fight with Percy. She blinked as she watched the boy stand up and accept his fate. "Look, if you're gonna give us a hard time. Just do it tomorrow, could you spare my friend at least?" He asked with a sigh as he motioned over to her. The leader of their group was an older boy with dark curly hair wearing a grey long sleeved shirt under his orange camp half blood t-shirt.

He was obviously handsome, for being the kids of gods a lot of the kids here were surprisingly attractive. Not that she even cared about that, it was just something she noticed. After observing a lot of people for a while you could pick up a thing or two. Even if it was an inference at best. The older boy's face turned soft in concern. "I heard what happened to you on the hill. And I just..." He trailed off. "I want to say I'm really sorry." She was pleasantly surprised that he was being nice to them.

He was probably one of the first people at camp who actually sought them out without having any questions. She finally remembered the girl from earlier and her long pretty braids. She shook her head quickly, shooing the thought away as soon as possible. Percy and her slightly relaxed when they realized the older boy was friendly. He smiled at them softly. "I know what you're going through. Believe me." He sounded so earnest that she wanted to believe him. Percy seemed to be thinking the same thing as they exchanged looks.

Luke quickly offered each one of his hands for the two of them to shake. "I'm Luke." He smiled, shaking Percy's hand first. And then hers. "Percy." Her friend introduced himself to the older boy quickly. She relaxed slightly as she shook Luke's hand. "I'm Eurydice." She smiled at him. "That's a pretty name." He said to her, and she smiled. "Oh, thank you Luke." She muttered in some embarrassment. She had always gotten weird questions about her name, not many people said it was pretty. She decided right then and there that Luke wasn't that bad of a guy.

Uploading this chapter as I'm waiting for my sister to walk to the bus with me! This chapter could have been called something else entirely but I wanted to reference the pjo lightning thief muscial. (Also if you guys were wondering who would have played Eurydice in the musical it would have been Mariah Rose Faith Castilias or Eva Noblezada there's no in between.)

My roman empire is that Mr. D does canonically care for the demigods but doesn't wanna be hurt when they end up dying because they always die
:(( Which is why he calls all the kids by the wrong names. Next chapter is capture the flag! Be excited. We had our first annabeth cameo and we got introduced to Luke! I hope you enjoyed <33
