"Is that Mini Me?"

An Elf and a Hunter arrive at the scene, and they're both angry

"Hearth? You're here too huh?"

I glanced at Rachel, Hearth? Who's that?

Then I glanced at where her eyes were practically pointing at. A man. A man was standing behind me this whole time, or maybe he snuck up on me? Even so, he was awfully quiet as he looked at Rachel. 

A lot of the campers gasped or stared in shock- he didn't pay any attention to them. Instead he moved his hands, sign language- I realized. 

"He's been here the whole time, and he wants to know why he's here." Rachel said, translating what he was saying in ASL.

Chiron nodded, slightly confused as to why he didn't notice him before, but didn't say anything regarding it. "Is there a reason why he shouldn't be here?" He asked. 

Rachel nodded, and then gave a look like she was reconsidering her answer. "Well, it's not like it's a bad thing, but it's not exactly common for this to happen." She started, "I suppose that we should introduce Hearth first since not a lot of people know sign language."

The camp nodded eagerly, wanting to know the identity of the mysterious person that not even I knew.

"Hey, I think I know a bit of sign language!" Leo exclaimed.

He got hit in the head by Calypso- or, who I assumed was Calypso. 

Rachel cleared her throat, "This is Hearthstone- or Hearth. He's a Norse elf that uses magic runestones, and he lives in Boston."

I blinked, Norse?

I could practically sense the tension between the campers and Rachel.

"Norse? Why didn't you tell us?" I exclaimed.

"I told Chiron, he told me that he would tell you guys, or at least the people in camp. I'm pretty sure all of the campers that are at Camp right now know, he just hasn't been able to contact everybody else." She replied.

The camp seemed to have calmed down, but they definitely wanted to bombard Hearth with questions.

"He reads lips as well, but don't pressure him with your silly questions." She said the last part like a threat- note taken. 

She sighed before continuing, "If Hearth is here, then I can guarantee that some Norse demigods are coming as well," Everybody's postures magically became better as they listened intently, "They're all really nice, don't worry. They'll explain everything better than I will."

"How exactly do you know them?" Annabeth questioned.

Rachel smiled, as if fondly remembering, "Now that's a story for another day my friend." She turned back to me, "Plus, we still haven't properly introduced Thalia yet."

I blinked, right.

I turned back to the camp, so nostalgic.

"So as you know, my name is Thalia Grace. Call me by my last name and you won't see the sun rise the next day," Everybody shrunk back, Leo snorted. I ignored both and moved on, "My father is Zeus, and I currently live with he Hunters of Artemis as their lieutenant."

Everybody stared at me with shock, especially a certain someone at the Hermes table. He hasn't said a word since I got here, and I haven't even glanced in his direction. 

I smirked, "Now if any of you call me pinecone face I will properly send down a lightning bolt as a present." 

All of the campers blinked, either in fear or confusion, maybe even a little bit of both. 

"Why would somebody call you pinecone face?" Will asked- or past Will.

I sighed, "You'll see in the future when we come into the infirmary half drenched with burnt clothes."

"Or at least I'll be drenched, he won't."

A lot of campers gave me odd looks, some were still focused on Hearthstone, who was signing to Rachel. She seemed to be introducing everybody.

I nodded, "Leo makes a good fireplace though."

Calypso almost snorted, but covered her mouth before Leo could question her.

Leo's eyes brightened, "So that's what I forgot to tell you guys about!"   

I blinked back at him, "You didn't tell them?-"

He just grinned at me for a response.

"Yeah, so Leo is our very own fireproof demigod." Rachel responded, she seemed to have introduced everybody to Hearthstone.

Chiron and the rest of the campers looked at Leo with confusion, "Fireproof?"

"Yep! I can't get hurt by fire and stuff, it's been that way my whole life."

Leo reached out his finger and smirked. Then he finally let the flames come to him, dancing on his fingertips like a puppet show.

All of the campers gasped, including Chiron.

"You're a fire user." Charles exclaimed.

Everybody looked at Leo in awe as he let the fire spread through his body like a dance. 

They were so mesmerized that they didn't even notice the two people that just appeared.

Sorry I haven't been updating as often, school sucks.
