Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 Come on, Jakob.

Then there's Helheim, where the souls of the deceased go when they die and is ruled by Hel Goddess of Death and Daughter of Loki. Along with Alfheim the home of the Light Elves and Dark Elves ruled by Freyr one of the Vanir Gods, Vanaheim the home of the Vanir Tribe, Svartalfheim the home of the dwarves, some of the best craftsmen in the Nine Realms, Jötunheim the home of the Jötnar, and…Asgard the home of the Aesir Tribe and ruled by Odin with an iron fist." Mimir explained.

"And that is where you are from." Chiron said, looking at Jakob who just grunted and nodded in response, having not spoken as much due to leaving the answering to Mimir. He only piped in when he felt like it.

"So, your father is Thor... is he really like-" Annabeth started

"No, he is not like the Thor from Marvel comics." Jakob said with a scowl. "Not even close. First of all, Mjölnir can be lifted by anyone as long as they're strong enough, that whole being "worthy" thing is a load of crap. Secondly, how he's depicted in media is very different from how he really is, both in appearance and personality."

"Ah, see there's some... negative emotion when it comes to you and your father." Chiron guessed, seeing the dark expression on Jakob's face when talking about his father.

"That's one way to put it." Mimir snorted. "Jakob doesn't... have the best of relationship with his father, and if you knew what he was really like you wouldn't blame him."

Before anything else could be said, Dionysus appeared in a flash, plopping himself down in the chair he had been sitting in before he left for Olympus. He gave Jakob a look. "Looks like you get to live a little longer, boy. However, we're keeping an eye on you."

"Wonderful." Jakob muttered with an eyeroll.

"Mr. Brunner?!" A girl's voice called and they all turned to see the girl Jakob saw unconscious in the infirmary arrive with a curly-haired boy wearing similar clothing to Annabeth, mainly the blue jeans and orange top with 'Camp Half-Blood' on the front.

The girl was a twelve year old, the same age as Jakob, with long black hair, large ocean green eyes akin to emeralds that shined through her pale skin, wearing a dark blue long sleeve jacket over a gray hoodie, a violet t-shirt underneath, a blue skirt that hid her black sport shorts and lastly violet socks worn under a pair blue and white running shoes.

Chiron smiled at the girl. "Ah, good, Andromeda. Now we have four for pinochle."

He offered her a chair to the right of Mr. D, who looked at the girl with bloodshot eyes and heaved a great sigh. "Oh, I suppose I must say it. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. There. Now, don't expect me to be glad to see you."

"Uh, thanks?" Andromeda said, scooting away from him.

"Annabeth?" Chiron beckoned the daughter of Athena over and looked at Andromeda. "This young lady nursed you back to health. Annabeth, my dear, why don't you go check on Andromeda's and Jakob's bunk? We'll be putting them in cabin eleven. And while you're at it, give Jakob a tour of his home for now while I fill Andromeda in."

"Sure Chiron." Annabeth said, sounding excited to have a chance to ask Jakob and Mimir more questions while Jakob dreaded it. However, he couldn't help but like the idea of finally having a more comfortable place to sleep rather than the cold, damp ground of the woods or a uncomfortable bed in a motel.

Annabeth glanced at the Minotaur horn in Andromeda's hands, then back at her, like she was expecting something from her.

Then she said. "You drool in your sleep."

Andromeda gaped while Jakob couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped him, and Mimir snickered in amusement.

Annabeth then looked at Jakob. "Come on, Jakob. Let me show you Camp Half-Blood."

Jakob heaved a sigh and stood, picking up Mimir and clipping the head to the back of his hip before following the daughter of Athena down the lawn.

Andromeda blinked before she looked at Chiron. "Was that a head he was carrying?"

Annabeth showed Jakob much of the camp like the strawberry fields, volleyball court, the nearby lake, the forest that was stocked with creatures, the lunch area, and finally they showed him the cabins.

"Alright Jakob, these are the camp cabins where all campers stay while here. There are twelve cabins, one for each Olympian. Though Hera's is there to honour her." Annabeth explained to the son of Thor.

"And let me guess, same with Zeus and Poseidon." Jakob said, getting a nod from Annabeth. "Suppose it'll do me well to know whose cabin is who's."

"Well, the first cabin is Zeus." Annabeth said, pointing at a cabin that can only be described as a marble building looking like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The big bronze double doors are polished in such a way to provide a 'holographic' effect of lightning bolts passing across. It also thunders all the time. It is described as looking like a bank.

"Well... that's quite a design for a cabin." Mimir said, Jakob holding the head up so he can get a look as well.

Jakob looked at the second cabin, Hera's, which looked like a marble, formal-looking building, graceful with slim columns garlanded with pomegranates and flowers. It is done similarly to her husband, Zeus' cabin except smaller. However, Hera's cabin is more graceful, having slimmer columns with pomegranates and flowers around them. The walls also have images of peacocks carved on them, as well as the doors.

"Guess nobody's allowed in there." Jakob stated.

"Unless they want to be turned into an animal or faced with Hera's wrath, no." Annabeth said. "Her wrath is quite... legendary."

"As that saying goes; hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Mimir said. "But I'd wager it's nothing compared to the wrath of Odin and Thor."

"There's Poseidon's cabin, another one that remains empty and is only there to honour the God of the Sea." Annabeth said with a slight scowl at the mention of Poseidon, giving he was her mother's rival.
