I honestly wasn't surprised when the Stoll brothers blew up Half-Blood Hill. I guess we all were kinda expecting since the camp had suffer no jokes, pranks, or anything in between, for about two weeks. Which is a record.

This was probably their biggest achievement yet.

Blowing up a spear and Hill-Blood Hill when an unsuspecting camper walked right over it.

That camper happened to be me.

~~~1 hour ago~~~

I was taking my daily walk around the camp at sunset to make sure no one was doing anything completely stupid, since Chiron was off to some boarding school posing as a teacher. He was hoping to get another camper who was apparently 'super powerful', because he was acting all weird a couple months ago when he left, and wouldn't answer any of my questions about the camper. All the while Chiron packed, he was muttering, 'why', 'too powerful', and 'can't ever mess this up'.

At this I asked him if I could come.

Big mistake.

Chiron looked at me with fear in his eyes, and said, "It is to dangerous." And then he continued to ignore my questions and pack his stuff into a suitcase.

Chiron's basically my second father to me. Since my real father's Poseidon, I only see him about once every other year. I came to camp when I was an infant. And I'm only ever allowed to see mom only on a special occasion. I've never seen my younger brother, but my mom's been able to sneak some pictures through to me so I know what he looks like. You see, Poseidon had another kid with my mom two years after she had me. According to the pictures that now currently reside in my underwater cave, he looks exactly the same as me. Jet black hair, sea green eyes, and that trademark side smirk that can only mean trouble. His name's Percy, and soon, hopefully I'll be able to see him since he might come to camp, as he is 12 years old right now.

I finish up my daily check to make sure the camp's still intact, (as of now) and I go to stand on Half-Blood Hill to climb up a tree and admire the view of the camp. Suddenly, I hear a loud boom, and all of a sudden I get thrown up to the point where I'm over the trees leaves. Now that's pretty high, since all of our trees are really high up. As I see rocks, dirt and grass fly up higher than me, I quickly grab onto the tops of Thalia's tree, hoping she won't mind. Sure, its a great view up here, but like THERE'S DIRT AND THINGS- OMG THERE'S WOODLAND CREATURES FLYING AROUND THAT DON'T BELONG IN THE AIR!?! OKAY. WHOEVER DID THIS IS SOOO NOT GONNA BE LAUGHING.

I get into a position where I wouldn't fall down and off the tree if I fainted from using to much energy. Bringing all the power from my stomach, or core, (as i like to call it) to my hands, I pushed all the force out, quickly tiring from all the stress. Using the air and wind, I levitated everything that belonged on the ground, and very slowly, I lowered it all down to where it was supposed to be. Making sure everything was back in place, I let go of all the energy around me that I had harnessed. Instantly, my body slacked against the tree, all of my energy gone. It took great effort to reach and grab the bottle of nectar hanging from my belt that was there for emergencies only. I hastily finished the bottle, enjoying the taste of chocolate donuts. Normally, a full bottle of nectar would have made a normal demigod incinerate into flames and die. But since I'm the Chosen, I can drink a lot more, but I still have a limit, and can't take too much otherwise I'll end up incinerating and dying too.

Zeus gave me the aspect of the sky and air, but its very limited and I can't do as much without collapsing, since my father's Poseidon. Chiron says that the more I train my powers, the more stronger I get, so I try to practice every aspect of the gods powers that they have given me. Lately I can do it without the headache or the light- headiness, but I'm still working on it.
