The Children of Water

Into the Demigod World

<If you don't know what that looks like go look it up and then you'll be surprised>.

The floor was made from more gray stone and shells. The ceiling was sand colored and looked like the sun's pattern as its light sifts through and onto the sea floor. The cabin was amazing.

"Yea, it is," Percy replied, "And we have a bathroom with our own shower, so as long as we take turns we don't have to wait on the camp bath house, which is really nice." Liz grandest him. "Now, pick your bed, you only get the choice once so choose well!" his voice dropped to a dramatic tone, "One choice will define you!"

Liz walked over to the left side and chooses the middle one.

"I will let that be the guy's side," she says.

"Getting sexist are we?" Percy jokes.

"No I am allergic to guys," Liz says playing along.

"That's a serious condition, I better get the Apollo counselor, he will know how to help." they laughed enthusiastically together, happy to have a distraction from everything that had happened.

Percy showed her the camp. It was everything he had told her it was and more. There were forges with real fire that the kids used to make exploding traps for monsters. In The craft and art building they let the campers use dynamite and chainsaws to build sculptures. The rock climbing wall had real lava that would run down the rocks to add an extra challenge to the climb. In short it was dangerous, amazing, and safe all at the same time! No monster could get in except for the monsters preordered from Amazon or the Triple G Ranch. Percy started shivering when he said amazon. When she asked him about it he began muttering something about men, chains, and orange jumpsuits. Lily would have to ask Annabeth what that was about. These monsters, Percy told her, they would use to hunt during games in the wood.

Percy showed her the volleyball court that they couldn't see in the dark last night; the camp shop that was covered in multicolored silly string currently, to which Percy cursed and said the Stole brothers would clean it up; the stables that held Pegasus instead of horses. They even talked with Blackjack, Percy's Pegasus for a little bit .Their tour ended at the beach. Immediately she felt at home.

Her eyes scanned the empty coastline and saw lots of sand along with a cluster of rocks off to the side. The water glistened, reflecting the sunlight. It had turned out to be a beautiful day.

"We come down here for the Fourth of July to watch fireworks," Percy was telling her, "but other than that it is relatively empty. The lake is fresh water so it's better for swimming, anyway, you and I will probably swim in the ocean more than the rest of the camp." The wind tugged at her hair making wispiest fly from her bun and tickle her face.
