Chapter 37
As Percy read her stats he became painfully aware of the fact that the only reason he even wins any of the battles he fight is because of luck, a plan or his powers over water. He closed her Observe box and turned toward Chiron and her.
"This is Percy Annabeth," Chiron motioned to Percy, "he is going to be joining camp. I would like you to show you around."
Annabeth nodded and motioned Percy over as the two demigods walked around the camp.
"So claimed or unclaimed?" Annabeth asked breaking the silence.
"Sorry?" Percy asked.
"Did you godly parent claim you yet?"
"Oh….what's claiming?" Percy asked.
"It's when the symbol of your parent appears over your head. The ones that are claimed are sorted into different cabins along with their siblings. So if you were a child of Athena you would be in my cabin."
"I see," Percy said nodding, "has anyone not been claimed?"
Annabeth nodded, "lot's. Most of the unclaimed are put into the Hermes cabin."
Percy nodded and noticed they were walking along a stream that flowed through camp cutting it in half. Soon they passed by a volleyball court, "this is the volleyball court."
"Of Death?" Percy asked.
"I'm sorry?"
"Is it the volley ball court of death?"
"Ah...no. It's just a volleyball court."
"Really? In a camp filled with the children of the Gods we have a plain, just a volleyball court?"
"Yes, yes we do."
"Kind of boring."
"We play basketball there sometimes if that helps make it a bit more thrilling."
Percy shrugged as they moved further ahead and came upon the arts and crafts area. Here there were several cabins each for a particular craft, like there was a place for marble sculpting. A place for pot making and a place to make jute bags. What? Why thought everything would be related to Greek crafts? What's wrong with a cool jute bag?
After that Percy and Annabeth passed the lake, which Percy was so going to check out later, and they saw the Amphitheater where several campers were gathered to hang out. There was a big circular platform in the center with seats all around it in the form of a hemisphere and the seats further raised as it went back.
Annabeth waved to a couple of people in the sea of orange and they waved back. "Those are my siblings," she told Percy and they moved onto the next part of the tour.
"Wait, all those guys are you siblings?" Percy asked pointing to the group of 10 or so demigods.
"Yup."
"But some are the same age as you!" Percy replied, "and isn't Athena a virgin goddess?"
"You know you're Greek Myths, I'm impressed," Annabeth replied, "and yeah she is. But the thing is goddess don't carry their children for 9 months like humans, most carry for a week or so at most."
"A week?!" Percy cried out, "holy shit talk about mood swings!"
Annabeth chuckled, "yeah I guess. And Athena is a virgin goddess but she gives birth to her children the same way she was born, through her head."
Percy's eyes went wide, "so she has a…..in her head?" He said pointing at his forehead.
"What? NO!" Annabeth cried out laughing, "no, gods no. She simply creates us out of the brainpower of herself and the man she has chosen. We are born of the mind, not of the body. She doesn't have a….thing in head."
Percy sighed, "good because that is crossing a line I don't think I can handle being crossed."
"Come on funny boy we still have lots of ground to cover."
Eventually the reached something Percy thought was the coolest thing ever invented. Annabeth stepped in front of him and held a hand out, "behold and tremble the bane of demigods everywhere, the Climbing Wall!"
The figure was a huge wall with coloured stepping stones littered all over it's face. Percy could see the wall was so disjointed and messed up it would impossible to know where you're going. Here were chainsaws in the wall, an electric buzzer or two and the coolest thing ever, lava flowing down the wall.
Percy's eyes shined like the sun reflected off the sea. He dashed towards the wall, if this didn't get his Vit up nothing will! But Annabeth grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him back, "you can commit suicide later. For now on with the tour!"
Percy grumbled and whined but he got over it. The two crossed the stream cutting across camp and came to a huge building which didn't have a roof and was surrounded by white pillars. There were twelve tables around the building, each a different colour and a hearth in the center whose firing was going strong.
"This is the Mess Hall, where people come to eat. And that," Annabeth pointed to a row of seats in the back, "is usually where Chiron and Mr. D sit."
"Mr. D?"
"Oh right. Dionysus."
"An Olympian god let's you get away with calling him Mr. D?"
Annabeth shrugged, "he honestly doesn't care."
Percy shrugged as well and the two moved on moving further inwards as Annabeth showed him the cabins. There were twelve of the in total. Two big ones on top and five smaller one on each side. Each were a different colour and had different themes going on.
"These are where most campers are staying," Annabeth said and then pointed to a grey cabin with an oel on top that looked like a library, "and that is my cabin."
Percy nodded and then looked around and saw a sea blue cabin, 'that must be mine.' Suddenly an idea popped into his head, "hey Annabeth every cabin has a speciality right?"
"Yup," Annabeth nodded and she lead him to the next location.
"So Athena cabin has high intelligence-"
"-And Wisdom," Annabeth put in, "lots of wisdom."
"Right. That and Apollo cabin is good at archery and healing and stuff like that right?"
"Yeah."
"So would it be alright if I trained with each cabin?" Percy asked.
"Well….it would depend on who you ask and if their cabin head is okay with it. Like for my cabin I am the head counselor since I have been there the longest. And if you want to come over and help out or something I wouldn't be against it or anything."
Percy's eyes widened, "are you serious?"
Annabeth nodded, "we don't turn back anyone who wishes to learn more. Anyway on with the tour."
Annabeth took Percy to what looked like a metal shed which was a short walk behind the Athena cabin. "this is the weapons shed our armory. It's filled with armour and other cool stuff we use."
Percy nodded not surprised they had an armony. Heck he would have thought them crazy if they didn't! Inside were racks of spears and swords. In the corner were basic bronze shield like the one Percy had and on the shelves were greek style armor.
Soon they moved again and this time went along what looked like the tree line of a forest. "This is The Forest most of the nature spirits and a few harmless monsters live here. Inside there is a stream that splits the forest into two parts, during capture the flag in which the whole camp participates in , we use the forest as a place to fight."
