Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters...I wish I did. If I did own them, probably no one would read it except myself. Sadly.

So, it's Olympusaddict, cherryblossom480 and I are going to do every other chapter in this story.(It's a shared account) This is going to be a boring chapter, since it's the beginning.

Okay, I'll stop stalling...Enjoy!!

Jason's POV
"So, Dakota. Can I ask you a question?" I look at him in the eye. He looks back at me with a caring expression.
He smiles and says," Sure. You can ask me anything. You'll be spending the rest of the day with me." He looked forward again. "You'll be here for a long time."
I laugh. I haven't laughed in so long, being chased by hellhound, being trained with Lupa. It's hard work for a little kid, especially when it's not just a game. Being happy felt so nice. Nothing to worry about anymore, just enjoying the tour Dakota was giving me. "That sounds like somethings going to happen to me...like I'm going to be hurt, or something." I glance at Dakota's face. His lips were red of Kool-Aid, but his eyes were focused on the road ahead of us.
He doesn't look away, he speaks after a long pause. "Lupa told you about why she sent you here, right?"
"Yeah, she did. She told me a lot."
"Did it surprise you?"
"Kinda." I say. I look around at the camp. "All the gods and stuff was surprising. But not the fighting and all that. I kinda expected fighting, for some reason"
"Good, that makes everything easier." He takes my hand and steers me towards a bench.
"Why? I thought everyone goes to Lupa." We sit down on the bench slowly.

"Well, not everyone. I'm pretty sure she just came out of her 'depression' stage." He smirked. "Even she goes through those times. It's a lot of pressure training all of these demigods." He pointed in front of us. "This is the Garden of Bacchus." He took a deep breath. "That's Bacchus. The Roman God of wine."

"There's a LOT of bees here." I swat one away from my face, only to be stung. "Ouch." I rub my chin where the bee had stung. 

"Don't do that, when they feel threatened, they sting." He said. I could tell he was trying to stifle his laughter. "It's nice here, but the bees rule the garden." We sit there for a while and watch the water of the fountain with Bacchus pour water into the bowl. 

"Come on, it's getting late, and we have a lot to look at."
