Scar's POV:

"Scar, you take the new guys and go the camp. We'll stay here to make sure she stays down" Etho ordered.

I nodded and said to Grian:

"Hey, send a message when she's turned to dust."

"I will, Hermes' honor!"

I took Zed's arm and run into the forest and like I thought the others followed.

"Hey, wait what's going on? Where are we going? Why did you hit that thing with a frying pan? My ice cream will fall at this speed!" Zed panicked.

"Long story short, frying pans are powerful, Greek gods are real, you are the child of one and are about to become monster chow."

"Greek what and what?" Beef asked as he caught up with us.

"Greek gods, demigod. And oh, I'm a satyr." I stopped and looked around, and puffed out:

"I think we'll safe here for now. It's gonna get dark soon."

"Alright, Satyr Scar. What is happening?" said a mildly annoyed XbCrafted.

"Sign, I'll hate to agree with that monster but, you really are clueless. Aren't you?" I signed and took down the mist surrounding my legs.

The sheer shock and confusion were funny as the illusion of normal legs fades away.

"Oh my god, you have goat legs." Beef muttered as the color began to leave his face.

"How did y-you, I mean, you just petted your pants and poof! Goat legs!" Zed said as he came closer to try and poke at my hoofs.

I pushed him lightly and said: "Hey! Those are sensitive! And to answer your question, the mist hid my legs, usually, demigods can also see my goat legs, but I felt that some powerful demigods who didn't know about the whole demigod thing were coming and so. Poof! I hid them."

Xb shook his head and muttered: "This has to be a weird dream; it has to be. I thought my mom was just unprepared for a child and left, but you say my mom is a full-on GOD?"

Zed patted Xb's head and jokingly said: "Hey at least we have another thing in common now!"

I lightheartedly laughed and began looking around, Zed noticed my mildly concerned face and asked what was wrong.

"First, it is getting really dark and we need a better place to hide, and second Grian still hasn't sent us a letter. That means that monster is not dust..."

"Maybe that cave is a good hiding place, for now." Beef said as he pointed at a cave not too far away.

"It's perfect, you kids go to that cave and stay there, I am gonna find some firewood," I said as I waved my hand to make some mist cover my goat legs again.

"Woah, I want to do that, can you imagine just waving your hand at an exam, and boom! All the correct answers just appear." Zed said as he stared at my now 'normal' legs.

"Come on Zed, just go to that cave. We don't even have school" as Zed gets pulled away by Xb and into that cave.

Heh, they are such friends and I jumped back into the thick of the woods.

It was gorgeous, the moonlight peeking between some leaves, the crickets singing their songs on the great and wise trees. Bah! I shook my head; I get distracted very easily. And there! A bunch of firewood trees.

"Hey! I'll need some of your wood. So, do you mind?"

The tree didn't respond but I can tell they didn't mind, after all, I am studying after the great Pan.

I started gathering the firewood when something with glowing wings landed beside me.

"Grian!" I yelled in joy.

He looked the same as before but near his left eye was a claw mark, was that from fighting that monster? he gave me his signature smirk and said:

"Sorry, it took a while! I had to bring Etho back to the camp, as he got a bit lost."

"A bit?" I raised my eyebrow as he started helping me gather firewood.

"Ok, very lost, like in the middle of the wood type of lost." He sheepishly said.

"You two are dorks. And that is enough firewood."

Grian loaded some up on his arms then spend his wings out to began to fly.

"Hey! No flying! We already attracted a lot of attention from monsters because of you!"

The thing is that Grian loves to fly, and is a very good flyer, the wings were from a small magical machine on his sweater that one of the Hermits gave him.

He muttered something under his breath and hid the wings. We began walking back to the place where I left Zed, Xb, and Beef.

"So, where are the new guys?" Grian asked.

"I told them to hide in a cave not so far from here. What happened to that monster, did you figure out which monster she is?"

Grian shook his head: "We had no idea what type of monster she is. But she keeps shrieking about her mom and how her mom can quote on quote, kick our demi butts."

"BAHAHA! KICK OUR DEMI BUTTS- BAHAHA" I wheezed out, then continued: "And what about that claw mark?"

He lightly touched that mark then said: "No need to worry! I'll be fine!"

At this point we were already back at where the cave was located, then a Zed popped his head out and waved us in.

We entered the cave and while Grian was preparing a fire, Zed exploded with questions.

"Grian! What happened? Where is that weird girl? What happened to your face? Where is Etho? Where are your wings? And we are still confused on what is going on, what is the whole Greek gods are the real deal?"

"Geez, you are going give them a headache, Zed," Xb said jokily.

Grian stared at the fire he lit up and said:

"Look, have you heard of the Greek gods, like the ones you learned about?"

"Yeah? Uh, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon?" Zed listed.

"Yep, those. They are real and like in the myths, they get horny with people, and boom, we pop out!"

"Ew... also no wonder why my mom whichever goddess she was, was never around." Xb thought out loud.

"What about you Scar? Is your mother a goat and your father a god?" Zed asked

"Bahaha! Not really, I am a satyr, and all satyrs follow Pan, the god of the wild, nature, and stuff!" I said and took down the illusion of 'normal' legs again.

"You see because your son of god side makes you the perfect target for a monster who wants to overthrow the gods, if they kill you, your godly parent will grieve then their defense is lowered and the monster can easily kill the gods." Grian then paused for a second then said: "Believe it or not, your godly parent... still cares about you. But sometimes..."

There was a sense of pain in his voice, an old grudge he tried to forget. And then he said it the grudge against the gods.

"That godly parent will disown you."

The concern grow on Beef's face and he said: "Are we... the only ones? The only demigods?"

I answered: "We have a summer camp that has our friends who are also demigods but outside of that... I don't know any more half-bloods."

It was silence for a few seconds, then Zed get out a huge yawn and said:

"I guess all this new information can make you try."

"It is really late." Beef agreed.

"Your right, I am too tired for new information to make any sense. So, nighty night." XbCrafted said as he laid down on the ground. Grian stared at him then said:

"Scar can make a really good leaf bed you know. I'm sure that's more comfortable than a stone ground."

To Grian's credit, I do make leaf beds, but it's not as comfortable as a normal bed. Xb was still on the ground trying to prove that the ground is a good place to sleep.

Zed overheard that and began gathering leaves soon Beef, Grian, and I joined in, even Xb unwillingly left the ground and helped.

A few minutes later, the bed was made, and we all climb on it, Zed immediately started snoring and the others fell asleep within minutes.

I stared at the cave opening for a few seconds, outside was a world of danger and there was a haven waiting for Zedaph, VintageBeef, and XbCrafted, but in the midst of the night, the worries of danger melts away.

I thought to myself as I closed my eyes.

The night is truly our friend.
