Allen cried for what felt like an eternity, the guilt not leaving his mind as he saw the fall of his father from artist to such a mess. It was all his fault. A honk made Allen look up and he saw a Van with the name Delphi Strawberry Service on the side of it. The side door opened and three teenagers stepped out, they looked at me, then at the Satyr.
"So this is the new blood? What's his name?" Asked one of the Teens as he walked closer to me and helped me up. "Allen Moon, 14 years old" the Satyr answered. "You going to join us going back to the camp? or will you look around for more half bloods?" asked the teen. "I will stay on the search, i have picked another trail, why watching over this boy." he commented and gave a wave before walking off.
"Well i am Dan, that's Pete and last one is James" The teen introduced himself and the other two, before they led me into the Van. I was sat in the middle with Dan and James sitting next to me. "Oh i almost forgot! both me and Pete are from the Demeter hut, James here is from the Dionysus hut. Do you maybe know your godly parents side already?" Dan asked.
"No" Allen replied. "Dan maybe you should explain Allen the entire cam and half blood stuff first, before asking if he knows his godly side?" Pete said from behind. "Oh my bad, then let me explain. First of all you are a half blood, half human half god. Us half gods are stronger, smarter or posses certain powers depending on our godly parent. Take me for example, my mother is Demeter and thanks to it, i can let plants grow faster!" Dan said and took out a seed and letting it sprout and grow in his hand.
"As cool as we half bloods are, we are also getting hunted by monsters and beings from mythology, since we are a really good tasting snack for them." James said and Pete snickered. "Anyway since we get hunted, our godly parents created a place for us to be save, Camp half blood. A place where we can live, without needing to be scared of monsters. A place were we can train till we are ready to fight them. At least as long as you want to." Dan said and gave a shrug.
"Every half blood gets sorted into a hut, created by Thier godly parents once they arrive. For cases like you, they would be put into the Hermes hut, till it's discovered who your godly parent is." Pete said and James added on "There are also rules inside the Camp and things to look out for, but a guide will be given to you from the Hermes hut, who will explain everything to you!"
I nodded and I felt my head getting petted by James, "See us as your seniors or older brothers! Also remember Many half bloods get influenced by Thier parents godly domain. So the Children of Hermes are welcoming and nice, many of them also have a habit of stealing. So make sure that you keep things precious to you, close and keep an eye on your things." he said with a smile.
After the small welcoming the three talked about different gossip and events of the Camp and from it, i could conclude that Percy has yet to arrive in the Camp. All the events and running made me sleepy and I closed my eyes.
As i did i found myself on empty withered farmland, Dead trees all around and a black river flowing into nothingness further away. "Hello my child." A female sad voice greeted me from behind, turning around i saw a woman with long curly black hair in a mourning dress, with her eyes covered with a black veil. "Your child, are you my mom?" I asked carefully. She gave a nod and came over and gave me a hug, i felt tears hit my face.
"You are crying why?" i asked and I felt her hug get stronger. "It's my fault you suffered so much. It's my fault your father suffered. All because of my cursed existence!" she said with sadness. "Your existence?" i asked and she nodded "I am Achlys, primordial goddess of Misery, Poison, mist and death" she said and softened her hug. "Then where are we?" I looked at the place. "Taterus, or at least before it." she said and turned his face to hers.
"Don't look around too much. Darkness is everywhere here and once you see it, it won't let you go." She stated and took her viel off and put it on Allen. "It is hard forming this sort of contact, so i will be short. I am sorry for the misery you needed and will need to go through later on. Take this veil as compensation, it will help control your gifts that you gained from being my son." She said and stroked his cheek before kissing his forehead. "I could only ask hypnos and nyx for this short meeting. Remember that i love you." this where here last words before Allen was rudely awakened by Dan shaking him.
"Wake up! we are in the camp!" Dan said as he was already standing outside the Van. I looked at Dan and wondered about the dream, only to see the Bandages in my hands having turned black. Shaking my head, i stepped out and looked at the Camp, well at what was seeable. Since we were still a bit away from the Huts.
